I got a call today and I got my date.... 22 dec. I am a little excited and very nervous..... Keri

mine is on the right side and it is near my low rib.... However, it is annoying and very uncomfortable during certian activites!

Wow these are great for me to try. I can't take my blender to work, but these seem perfect for me. I have to drink 2 a day while I am on my liquids only post op Thanks for this info Keri

current weight... 241.5 thanks for keeping that updates! Keri

I wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. It was so sweet to honor his wishes. I am sure he was with you the day of your surgery. Sending you tons of well wishes on getting better and also sending condolences on your loss. Keri

I am so sick of the liquids.... I was told I could have yogurt, pudding and apple sause....... I don't consider that mushies, cause well Mushies you should be able to chew a wee bit. So.......... tired of pureeing everything. I miss chewing. I have sucked on suger free mints, but......those get tiring. I want to eat!!! Please............. tell me this to will pass!

i have both! www.myspace.com/kerianne77 you'll need my email addy keris4kids@aol.com Keri

i have udes miralax before and I guess I can try it again. It just didn't work before.... Thanks for the info Keri

I can't stand it. I am really tired of having to take the M.O.M. I am so sick of the bloating...... Is anyone else having this issue..... Keri

You can add me to that list too... I am so done with full liquids......... I have been really good.. I puree everything, and I am so tired of not chewing. There is just so much yogurt one person can take. I was told I could eat anything that had no lumps or bumps in it.... So I puree EVERYTHING!! I WANT FOOD...!! SO I know what you are thinking... and feeling! Keri

I had the same issues with my calves. I think it just had something to do with the compression stockings.... Hope you are feeling better! Keri

Since I was 1 week post op I am on full liquids, however I was told I could eat some mashed potatos. So I had some, and I mashed up green bean casserole. One of the girls made a apple pie........ it was with splenda...... and I mashed some of that up too! I did really well!! Keri

I can see this being a downfall of people getting the Lapband....... sadly I can't see non medical people giving them selves there own fills, Theres the chance for erosions, over fill, and worst an infection that will get in to your blood... Not a good Idea. there are reasons why something should be only done by a licensed MD

I am not cooking this year. The first year since we have married that I am not cooking. Our family was invited to go up to on of my hubby so workers house. I wasn't going to go at first, but I think I am going to go. Have some mashed potatos and puree in some turkey. I was told that was ok. Had a post op appt today and sure enough he said NO turkey LOL ( chewing wise) But puree it and mix it with the mashed tators and some gravey that is ok. Plus i am going to puree some green bean casserole! LOL Happy Thanksgiving all! Keri

Day 5 is not so bad!! however I know to have proper placementment of the band, I sure do miss chewing food!! I still get tired easily. Recovering is hard to do when I want to clean and do stuff around the house. Totally rough!! Keri

I have 3 weeks of full liquids, cream soups, cream of wheat, yogurt ect...... I am very depressed over the fact that I can not enjoy the thanksgiving day. I kinda know how you feel! Keri

congrats on that!! remember walk walk walk! Keri

Shishmi is with out rice and it is low in fat and high in protein. I tend to eat the shishmi because rice is starchy. Now I have not tried it since the band. and since I am only post op 3 day, I know I will be upset if I can never eat sushi again! Keri

my band was also placed on the 20th. I am not hungry persay, but I am having to train my brain how I am not hungry. I don't think I am eating enough....... but I am def getting better day by day! Congrats and glad to share this day with you!

Good morning all, I am 3 days post op. Pain is def more tolerable. Port site is annoying. But I think I will get used to that..... ( I hope) I don't think I am eating enough. But I am not hungry. I ate some really great cream of wheat. so good. I am drinking my protein shakes. So how are you all doing?? Keri

I have to keep remembering that. My hubby and kids are so supportive! I guess I just need someone else to validate these feelings. Thanks for what you wrote! Keri

I don't honestly know if I am hungry. I am have been craving toast, and wanting other food. I am just going crazy... I think I am hungry....... I really don't know what I did...... I don't regret this decision......I am truely scared though about being a failure

I was just banded on the 20th........ I am so confused on how often I have to eat. I am following the full liquid only. I have creamy Soups, and they are good with Protein, low fat to no fat. I am drinking my Protein shakes too. So....... why do I feel like I am doing something wrong. Please tell me how often you ate right after. Thanks so much I am also having that " omg what did I do feeling" Keri
