I only like the choc. or vanilla unjury too. But i have found that some GNC protein shakes have more protein in it then unjury. I have only tried the choc. in GNC but it taste like the unjury one too! Congrats n best of luck to u!

I'm 1 month post-op. And on Sunday night I was in the bathroom looking at my incisions n like 4 inch above my lil incision on the right side i feel a fist size lump! what could this be?:eek:

So I call the on-call doctor. And he says "Do u have a fever or pain there?" I said no pain n no fever. So he said to call the office on Monday morning.:thumbup:

Well I call on Monday morning. And I speek with tons of nurses in the office n no one has ever herd of this before. n they say that it could be my herniea busted through or it could be my port. n since I have an apt. with them on Wednesday that they will see me then.:thumbup:

So my family is freeking out:out: saying that maybe my band slipped or it came undone. So they ask me why did I not speek with the Doctor. n well he was in surgery so he could not be reached.

After all the horror stories I decide to call the doctors office back n ask them to page the doctor for me. And in 5 mins the doctor calls me back. And he says no pain no fever so it just must be ur body heeling n that everyone is different. And he ask me to feel my port n make sure it did not move. And I found it. So I tell him my familys horror stories and he just laughs n says ur not gonna die today or tomorrow. (he is always joking) So he tells me that he will see me on Wednesday n he will check it out then n if i do get a fever or pain to call.

So I still dont know what it is but it seems to be getting smaller. idk? I guess I have to wait till tomorrow @ 11am!:blushing:

things will get better! think positve, ur time will be here soon enough. best of luck to u! n keep us posted.

i am 3 weeks post-op n just started my stage 5: regular food trial.:thumbup: i seem to be ok. i only tried the carb balance wrap with some perdue short cuts turkey and onions n cheese with fat free sour cream. i could eat about 3/4 of it. n it filled me up for about 4 hours.:thumbup: but it was so nice to try something different.

it is funny how when ur eating like this. how everyone wants to go on a diet too. i mean just cause u started something now everyone must get skinner before u do. ikd? it just bugs me.:blushing: i guess everyone must know someone like this.....lol:wink2:

since last week i started to make something that we all can eat. even though i was on soft food. but even my daughter lost 6lbs in 6 days. :laugh:my husband lost 3lbs. so i guess it is good for everyone!:heart: best of luck to everyone!:eek:

yoco28

congrats!! i was on a full liquid diet for 10 days. it was hard but it really does prepair u for getting the band. well when i was on my pre-op diet i did have some boneless/skinless chicken but a lil bit made with my fat free cream of chicken soup. best of luck to u!!

congrats!! n best of luck to u!

i had the same problem. before i got banded i was fine with milk but as soon as i got banded (1/8/09) i could no longer stand milk n had to switch to lactaid milk. but it worked, n i no longer have any gas pains! best of luck to u!

yoco28

congrats! n best of luck to u!!

yoco28

yoco28

yoco28
