old bandster looking for support, direction, advice

Hi there You have to take 1 day at a time. 1st of all you are not a failure because you haven't completely given up. The good thing is you regnized you have a problem and it's time to fix it. You need to say it's a new day with new rules. Make a menu for the week and follow it. Cut up some fruits and vegatables and have healthy snacks available. Stay away form the fast foods. You have to get back to exercising. You have to start somewhere. You can't sit there feeling sorry for yourself and thinking you are a fealure; because if you do you will never try to get back on track. You didn't go through this surgery for nothing. So I say to you Work that band. and not let it work you. You can do it. I believe in you.:willy_nilly: -
I am so lost and overwhelmed!

Hi there sorry to hear you are having trouble but I don't understand why your doctor told you not to eat jello its considered a liquid. It melt as soon as you eat it. They served me sugar free jello in the hospital. the next day after surgery along with broth. As far as the gas pain you will have to walk and probably take some gasX. For the nausea maybe you can call your doctor and ask for some Phenergan or zofran. Please Please Please don't do to much bending and you are not supposed to be lifting anything right now. If you have a baby you have to be careful try to sit and hold the baby/child. It will get better. Protein shakes should help a little with the hunger. Good luck and feel better.:willy_nilly: -

you go girl. I think I will feel like that when I hit New Orleans for Mardi Gras 2010. My family last seen my the day before my surgery. I will be working it also -
You look nice picture and pose -
Hey there Please don't beat yourself up. Remember your body have just went through and change and physically and mentally. It will get better just have to hang in there. Everyone is different but in a 1 or 2 you should feel better. Important thing is to get the protein fluids in and Walk walk walk. because the gas is going to come. If you are hurting take your pain meds for the comfort for the 1st fews days then wean yourself off of them. Hope things get better with you. Message me if you have any other questions.

In the beginning you are going to have to crush them if they are big If they are small you may tolerate them. They don't metabolize differently. hopefully you won't need them afterwards? How high is your BP? Is it Chronic if not you may not need them. But inform your primary maybe they can give you something smaller other than that you will have to crush them

What does PB stains for?

Oh thank you

ToomuchRN replied to lilmissy2009's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After surgery I was losing 1 pound a day. About 5wks after I had done lost 26lbs. My doctor told me he rather I lost fast in the beginning because your band with adjust and your weight will slow down. Please don't count on weight loss anyway. You some people lose inches. The scale is just numbers. -
Awesome, Amazing, Wonderful, determination, motivation should I go on. Good job keep it up. You are an inspiration.
