Experience Bandsters- Please tell me...
babyka16 replied to Patterba's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was told taking any kind of pills would be fine! if you think it will get stuck then you should kinda let it set in your mouth for a minute to start dissolving it. or just see if you can take another kind of med that will do the same thing for you just a smaller pill. -
Process is finally started!

i was told that it would be right under my chest because that was the thickest part of the stomach. also because the more weight you loose, your port can move and they will have to go back in and fix it. my doc told me that he would put it under my chest because when i loose weight my port will stay put!

ok so this is the 2nd time im writing you lol im still learning all the stuff on here. i wrote you on your main post you just put out and then again but think it went to my mail lol lamo i know. im doing good thought that i would have lost more weight then i have but i feel like ive lost allot but the scale says not!!!! ive slipped a few times but i really dont ( hope) think it well hurt me any. i just keep thinking omg im never going to be able to eat real food again! i dont know why i think that because you can eat food just allot less. i cant wait for the surgery to be over with starting to feel scared! hope im doing the right thing!

Introducing myself & My Story so far...
babyka16 replied to Tina254's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
thats great! I'm on week two of the pre-op diet its not too bad. the cookies and cream from GNC (protein powder) tastes pretty good. i add milk fat free coco powder and fat free chocolate syrup total cals is about 345 so I'm good. shakes have to be under 350 cals! thats the only good part about it. Ive only lost like 6 pounds but feel like Ive lost 15! Ive lost 4 inches off my wast too. ( thought you had to loose allot of weight to get just one inch off???) anyway how much weight total have you lost? and what kid of food are you eating now? I'm so happy for you keep up the good work Karen -
see if you can get more fills i know after i get my first fill after that i can get up to two fills a month! plus they make you stay a few minutes after your fills to see if you fell your restriction by drinking some water that way if you need more you get more or if you dont fell anything you get more in! plus if you dont like your doc look for a new one. no one should make you feel like crap!!!!!!!

Feeling bad about my pre-op diet
babyka16 replied to starryeyed's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
ok im on day 6 of my pre-op diet! ( its 2 protien shakes have to have 30mg and then i can have up to 500 cals of food) omg cant wait for this to be over i found a good shake its cookies and cream from GNC i add in a few things to make it tast better just as long as each shake is under 350 cals. ive lost almost 6 pounds but im sooo hungery. i can only have a total of 1200 cals a day! i just want to feel full again! but week one is almost over and then one more and im done with the first part of my road to losing weight! Karen -
hey everyone. I'm sure this has been posted before but cant seem to find a blog on it. i start my pre-op diet on the 6th of October. i would like to know what protein (powders) shakes are good to buy. i know everyones taste buds are different but i don't want to wast my money on junk! i have to have two shakes a day with 500 cals. of dinner and snacks if needed. the protein shakes ( or whatever i can mix it in) have to be 30 grams each then after surgery it goes to 3 90 gram shakes a day. any help would be great. my surgeons office says they like to use Body Fortress. Anyone try this brand is it pretty good? thanks Karen

how much weight did you lose the first month?
babyka16 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

What are the symptoms of a kidney stone
babyka16 replied to elcee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG if you have one you will know and the pain will not go away. you could of just had some muscle pain from activities or workouts. when it happens again go in right away and be tested for a UTI even if your pee is not a dark color. it also sounds like it could be something other then your kidneys! trust me on this i had to have surgery on them at the age 5 and get kidney infections and UTIs all the time. but if you are worried the best thing would be to go in and talk to the doctor about it. but to me it sounds like you get some muscle cramps. also do you fell this around mid month of your period? that could be it too. hope this helps out karen -
