I asked my mom to buy me some gas medication, I guess I prob wouldnt need that anymore? a week and a half? aww man Im diening over here...bad enough I cant even eat..I walk around makin funny noises all day cuz of the gas..but I always tell myself if I want something I have 2 suffer..so I guess imma continue to jus suck it up for a few more days

Has anybody experienced alot of gas pain? Because after my surgury I was dieing! Im 5 days post-op right now and I still have some gas pain. Its not as bad as the first day but its still there. Sometimes the gas comes up but it doesnt go out. It just stays there and hurts me :bored:

yes I had soo much pain..especially when I woke up from surgury. All I could do is cry. And yesterday I was in soo much pain. Pain was killing me. But now I feel alotttt better. I was able to use the bathroom and I feel great. I cant wait for all the gas to be gone. And I cant wait to lose all this weight I want to accomplish my goal asap! good luck to you all, lap bad is worth the pain!

good luck on your surgury!

As days go by the pain gets better...I jus had to use the bathroom so half the gas is gone! :wink2: I feel sooooo much better. I feel great! Im not even hungry. Im just so excited to drop these pounds! I cannot wait to lose 50 cause then I kno I can lose the other 50! :biggrin:

omgggggg all I can say is PAIN PAIN n more PAIN! I dont remember anything cuz they gave me this cocktail drug that made me feel real drunk before gettin the anesthia. I remember wakin up n them tellin me that everything was successful. I started crying cuz I was soo thanksful that things went well plus I was in sooo much pain..All I could do is cry I couldnt even speak...All night I was in pain, gas pain...I woke up cryin today lol..I couldnt handle the pain. I got like 3 shots in my stomache, 1 in my arm and 1 in my buttocks. Hurt alot but I needed it...Right now Im home Im gonna go back to bed..I had 2 walk around alot to prevent blood clots. I still have pain but its gettin better...Hopefully tomorrow things will b alright!

thanks guys..im up and ready to go 2 the hospital..I'll update every1 soon

Thanks every1!!!! I couldnt even sleep last night...now im up and ready to go 2 the hospital...I hope everything goes well...Boldcall dont worry u'll do just fine today :scared2:

ur right everybody has different taste buds...And I think theres diff Isopures though. I didnt buy the ones in the BOTTLE I brought the one in the GLASS...which one did u buy?

For the first week I didnt like the Protein powder I was drinking. It had 220 calories, 25g of carbs and 30g of protein which was good but I never enjoyed drinking it. Until week 2 I found Isopure! Its a crystal clear liquid whey Protein Drink which taste like watered down juice. Taste similar to gatorade but has MORE FLAVOR and taste way better! It comes in Alpine punch, orange, raspberry blue, grape, melon, and alot more....RASPBERRY BLUE IS THE BEST ONE CAUSE IT TASTE LIKE REGULAR JUICE! Isopure has 120 calories and 40g of protein!!!!!!!! way better then the protein power. And another big advantage is that it has NO CARBS AT ALL! Drinking 1 bottle after working out will get you full. For my 2 meals I drank 2 isopures a day which gave me 240 calories and 80g of protein..And then I drank 1 Protein Powder shake and a high protein ensure. All together I think my calorie intake was around 680 and my protein intake was way more then 80g. I walk 2 miles everyday and I lost 13 pounds EASY and will be going into surgury tomorrow! I cannot wait! I just wanted to share this drink with everybody just in case you guys arent happy with your pre-op diet. You can find Isopure at Vitamin Shoppe. 1 bottle cost $3 and some change. You can get a 12 pack for $41..good luck to everybody on your pre-op diet

lmao..so with the 4 days I have left, u think if I drink isopure 40g 2 bottles a day (80g of protein) ill b safe? cuz the Protein mix isnt working for me I can only do like 2 spoons...tomorrow im going to start doing half the pack

thanks I jus brought some Isopure drinks...1 bottle has 40g of Protein and 0 carbs! Cant wait to try it..This is what I should of brought since day 1

Kristine & Grey yeahhh I agree...its not worth risking your surgury...im bout to go buy some isopure right now so I can get more protein!

yeah the rice was a really bad choice dat I made...yes I will be careful I havent made any mistakes for the past few days

I hope my liver shrunk...cuz Ill b pissed if I dont get that band on friday

Yea ur right. My nutritionist told me about Isopure, I was going to start that after my surgury but I might as well start that TODAY!

So I went into the preop diet feeling REAL confident like I wasnt going to have any problems sticking to the diet...But as soon as I tasted the protien drink, I wanted to DIE! drinkin it for lunch made me just want to starve for the rest of the 2 weeks...it tasted so bad cuz I used the whole protein pack n mixed it with water, it was real creamy and disgusting! I couldnt wait 2 have dinner lol...for the first 3 days I cheated :frown: I found myself eating rice. My mom hasnt been cookin rice latley but for some odd reason she cooked a big pot of rice 1 day and then the next day she made another type of rice and then the next day the same thing! And I knew I had my own type of meals but I couldnt control myself I didnt kno wut was happening. But I knew if I didnt follow my diet I would b puttin myself at risk. So I decided to remain strong and not be tempted to eat. I changed the way I made the drink, instead of mixing the whole pouch I just add two spoons of it and mix it with a lil bit of fruit punch. When I wake up I walk a mile and then later on in the day I walk another mile. I drink the shakes for breakfast and lunch and sometimes in between I can have unsalted peanuts (for protein) or applesauce and drink alot of water. For dinner I have chicken with small salad with balsamic vinegar. I go 2 parties and I dont eat or drink alcohol. Im impressed with myself Im really trying and I pray I dont mess up for the next 5 days! Its gettin easier for me because my surgury is this friday and the more I think about it the more I want to do good. So Im guessin when your surgury date is near, its easier.

Sorry but thats bullshit! I went to my primary doc around April (I was 20 years old) and he was jus basically tryna talk me into not doing it but he never said NO. He kept givin me hints about his stupid nutrition seminars like I cared. I just kept saying "yeah I kno BUTTTTT..." So he had 2 give up cuz I wasnt tryna hear nothing but the LAP BAND. At the end of the day, my decision is my decision I wasnt leavin that office without him referring me to my lap band surgeon. And because I spoke up and told him what it was, I'll be gettin my lap band in 6 days! And im soo excited...When I told my primary doc about my lap band decision that was in April, I turned 21 in May, ur 23 and ur doc tellin u that ur 2 young? wut kind of doctor is dat? If she knew anything bout the lap band she would kno the age limit is like 19-55 I think or 65? something like dat. If I were u I would just bring in all the facts lay it out for your doc n tell her that this is what you want and she better do her job!

Yeah im gonna need to vent lol...Cant wait till next friday though

Thank u very much. I mix my protein with fruit punch but I still have 2 hold my nose. Good luck on monday!!!!!

Hey every1, my name is Fabiola aka Ms.Fab, 21 years old and Im new. I find myself lonley at times because people dont understand what Im going through. So I decided to make an account on here because everybody seems to give good adive to one another. Im on my pre-op diet and will get the surgury done next friday (8 days from 2day) and im excited but also frustrated at the same time! Its annoying having to drink that nasty protein supplement. And I hate watching other people eat good food while I have to basically starve lol...Im doing whatever it takes to be successful but I feel lonley. Nobody understands what Im going through and Im hoping that I find alot of people on here that I can talk to. My friend got the lap band done last year and she lost alot of weight so far. But I hardly talk to her cause she's busy most of the time. I hope I can meet new people on here so we can share our stories and provide motivation for one another!
