i bought the vanilla one and hate it. i got mine at publix

i cant wait til I get a fill! ive been so hungry the last two days!

your okay! I wasnt hungry either. Now.. Im 2 weeks out.. and STARVING! i mean like every 2 hours i want to eat! ugh!

When I was put to sleep they gave me something to relax me.. and Im very weird about medicines..never taken anything other then tylenol... let me tell you what.. that crap worked! I was TERRIFIED to be put to sleep..shaking uncontroably.. FREAKING out. They gave me that stuff and I could care less what was going on. I remember getting onto the OR bed.. them securing my arms and then a mask to get oxygen.. and thats it. I was out like a light. Woke up after about 3o mins in recovery. I was really scared that when I woke up id freak out becuase I felt "out of it" but the stuff they gave me to relax me helped even through waking up. It went very smooth!

I know smoking makes things heal at a slower rate. They dont like doing this surgery on smokers.

I was allowed to have it. and as much as I wanted. I hate broth now. LOL

glad it wasnt so bad! I go for mine soon!

hope you are over the worst! thanks for sharing!

Since I was in 6th grade anytime I go from being really hot..to cold, like exercising then sitting in AC.. I get hives ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl over me..my neck my arms my legs..its itchy and uncomfortable. Sometimes I even shake from it..its really weird..and noone has EVER been able to tell me why!! its really bad when I visit my dad in Indiana and I go from being inside in the heat..to outside in the snow!

From what Ive been experiancing..once you get the band, you dont really lose much. I guess when we get our first fill youll see it come off. So your dr. is right! Focus on healing..then losing.. its hard not to get discouraged!

Im all glued!

oh my goodness..everything talks to me! !!!! Espically cooking for my kids! ugh! I have to admitt.. I do take bites of things..but I dont swallow.. I spit them out. LOL I know.. Im bad!

I had an issue with the "runs" All through my liquid diet and even a few days after surgery. Im on full liquids now..I can eat oatmeal (THIN) and soups (blended) so that basically still ALL liquids.. but now I can't poop! Sorry to be so direct.. but dang.. wahts going on?!

same here.. I go to my 2 week appointment Tuesday and Im hoping they will tell me somethign!

as you lose weight your port will get lower.. soon youll barely be able to feel it!

oh my gosh i bought it and HATED it..

So I've only lost 17 pounds since I started all this. My pre op diet is actually when I lost it. I was banded one week ago today and I havn't lost 1 pound since then! is that normal? Ive been walking and everything..

i used maalox. I hated the gas x strips. and the liquid tylenol. I only needed that stuff for 2 or 3 days.. I didnt even have to take pain meds. Its really not that bad..and im a wuss! LOL ..When you come home to sleep its nice to have a small pillow on hand..i slept on my side and just put that under my tummy.. felt better!

im taking childerns gummie vitamans and a viactiv for my calcium. they taste like candy!

4 holes and 1 port incision

I feel your pain. I was banded the same day as you and I have too asked myself what the hell have I done?! Im on clear liquids only until Tuesday but today I did cheat.. I had soup. I have been feeling so weak I felt like I NEEDED it. and it did make me feel so much better. I only took about 4 small small bites of it. It scared me though..I mean nothing happend but I started thinking.. My dr told me to do this diet until Tues for a reason.. so I wont do it again until then. We can ALL get through this. Hell I got through the 2 weeks before my surgery, I can make these next few weeks. Just take it day by day.. this is the start of the rest of our lives!!!!

I got them alot during my pre op and now that i had my surgery a few days ago i have continued to get them. Its lack of food I think! Im going to start liquid vitamens tomorrow and see if it helps

:thumbdown:How long will this last?I just feel like I have absolutely no energy. Ive never been put under until this surgery so I dont know if its normal so be tired days after or what? Then of course I physc myself out and keep giving myself unnecessary aniexty. I have bad aniexty as it is..ugh! so far I dislike lapband!

i felt the same exact way. like I wanted to take it all back! But you have to think to yourself.. I am risking more if I dont get this surgery. I hope things went wellfor you today. I was banded yesterday and so far.. it SUCKS but Im sure it gets better. LOL

When I take a deep breath or cough it hurts.. normal? Also Im feeling really tired..and when im tired i get aniexty for some reason. I cant shower til tomorrow which is WHAT usually starts my days!..sucks. Anyway, am I tired from being put under or am I tired from lack of nutrients? oh does anyone know if I can take vitamins? I was banded yesterday at about 8:30 AM.
