hey doll.....lets see..the full liquid stage was protein shakes, soup(strained and blended of course!!)..sf kello, sf pudding, broth...juices (50%/50% with water).....i think thats it...today is my last day on it. but make sure u check ur diet, all doctors are different and allow different things....for instance, i was allowed to have a tablespoon of peanut butter in my choco protein shake where as someone else's diet didint allow it.... its a lil' challenging but definitly needed for healing....my goal is to loose 100lbs too!!!! hope you have a great day!!!

Hey there!! Yes i too have had some weird gas pains!! Lots in stomach...but its going away day by day!! Hang in there...get back to me

Hey there.....i noticed you friended me...have you been banded yet?? Iwas just 6 days ago and rallying thru....

Wow, i hope i can have it...no one said no and its in my book...oh well.....fingers crossed!!! Hahaha!!!

morning!! i feel better today,,,had a bad sunday though. i went for a walk last nite and it felt great! i have to say you motivated me!! i did nothing all day yesterday, and was feeling bummed out all day. i still have the weird feeling of having to burp all the time...kinda annoying....are you on pepcid or anything like that??? i just started taking mine yesterday...im sucha bad patient!! oh, so in my recipe book from my hospital, it says to mix i scoop of choco protein powder(i use UNJURY) with 1/2 c skim milk, 4 ice cubes and 1 tablespoon peanut butter(simply jiff~or something less sugar AND creamy of course)...blend 45 sec and STRAIN!!! oh my lord sooooo good.....try it and lemme kno! hoping for a better monday!!!

hey.....dont be scared!!! just be PREPARED!!! i had my surgery on the 13th,,,almost a week ago now!! I had a rough few days at home, once i was discharged from the hospital. I was required to stay overnite, which i think was good since they make you get up and walk. I wasnt expecting a lot of pain at the port incision site, which i did have. And i also had a lot of weird gas pains in the arms, which is supposed to be common after any lap surgery...so i recommend getting gas-x chewables and walk a lot when u get home!! you will do great!! also prepare for the NEW food you will be eating...shop now!

hey doll...im having a blah day....feel like burping all the time too...like deep within, not just in my throat...weird i guess. No feeling of nausea or vomitting, but wierd inside. Im still on the meds, although i'm down to like 2 x per day... last nite was the first of any hunger pangs i felt. and ive been oretty hungry all day today...even had 3 protein shakes and still hungry. im just sick of looking at pudding and jello....yuck. and ive been living on choco/peanut butter shakes...i still feel like im not getting in all the required liquid though. maybe thats why my belly feels weird. sorry to hear about the bleeding....im sure its normal ans as long as you dont have any signs of infection(pus, fever....you know) all should be fine. well, have a great nite...im hoping monday is a better day!! cathy

I';ve beek ok with the protein, but i noticed today i'm feeling a lil' reflux. Hope thasts not a bad sign.....have a great day!!

hey, honestly i feel terrible today...still in a lotta incisional pain and weird gas pains in my arms and stuff. im having a hard time getting in the required fluids and protein that we are supposed to. I dont know why i didnt think i would have sooo much pain...afterall i am a nurse and see lots of people with incisions and excruitiating pain.....lemme know how the days have been for you. I'm still happy and I can wait to start seeing results. Right now I feel like FOOD is the furthest thing on my mind!!! Thanks for keeping in touch!
