want to be free

Can anyone tell me why they make us wait so long between fills? If you are not getting any restriction then why not fix it? I don't get it!

Believe me when I say I have tried them all! Here is my favorite and actually almost look forward to it 1 Packet sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast I use Milk chocolate (60 calories 5 grams protein) 3 Scoops Beneprotein (75 calories 18 grams protein) 1 Cup Calorie Countdown milk alternative (45 calories and 9 grams of protein) Mix in the Blender and ENJOY!

Hey there - I'm a Paramedic for a very busy city Agency so I get it! I took 4 weeks off of work, however, I could have went back after 3 and think I would have been fine. Just take the time your body needs and only go back when your ready! Don't risk complications take care of yourself.:seeya: Good Luck!

I use Beneprotein powder for my Protein supplement - It is pretty good and can be mixed with just about anything. If you go to Nestl they are offering $15. 00 of your purchase just pay shipping. Thought this might help - those protein mixes can get expensive!!

Walk! Walk! Walk!

I was banded 1 week ago today and starting to eat mushy/soft food. So even though there is no fill in the band there is still a smaller open area? I may/should feel a bit of resistance with some foods? If I decided to eat a spoonful of Peanut Butter (won't but lets just say) then it would probably cause a problem? I'm confused obviously! :thumbup:

I probably need a bit more fluid but it all makes me nauseous. I have not taken pain meds since the first day and sip on tea so that should take care of the caffeine. AHHHH I hate feeling like this. I just want to get up and clean the house and make my family a nice dinner.

Hello, I am 3 days post-op and had a terrible night! PROFOUND headache and nausea - It took everything I had not to vomit. I think I have turned a corner but any suggestions? Did this happen to you? When will I start feeling good again? Thanks I'm probably just being a baby!

Thanks for all the great advice - I'm so excited to start this new chapter in my life. I will let you all know how it goes.

My surgery is on Thursday!!! I'm excited and just want to make sure I have everything I need i.e. protein shakes,liquid ibuprofen, jello etc. Any suggestions. Anything you wish you had but didn't? Thank you!!
