    I have named my band officially my Little Diva because this band is going to help break out the Diva in me.. Something that has not shown her little face in a long long long time.. Also if there was a time spot on her you would realize that I am typing this at 3:30 am and without my glasses.. I must admit that I must have over done it cause I am sore tonight and having a hard time sleeping. (Yes Crystal and Chantal I am admitting that going to a movie was not the brightest decision) I am also worried about the fire as it is getting cold out there. I dont want to wake up to a cold house. It is so quiet in the house. All I can hear is the sound of the fire.. I am sitting here drinking a isopure drink with 60 calories 15 grams of protein and also added a 3 gram packet of benefibre on the go packet. I need to get my fibre up so that I can get my digestive system on all systems go if you know what I mean... Not sure if that is possible when you are only having liquids... Any who so I have named her my little diva. I think that is a great name. Now I am going to google how much fiber I need in a day and get to that in the am.... Goodnight all or should I say good morning..

  11. Well I am doing ok... I would be a lot better if I had not have gone to a movie with with my family... I also walked around walmart longer then I should have. DId not use any pain meds until I did all of this... So instead of popcorn I had a bowl of cream of brocoli soup from subway. I can only eat a bit at a time so had about 1/2 of the small bowl.. 3.5 hrs later i had 1/2 of a small iced capachino... Came home and my hubby made me a chocolate shake with a banana... It is yummmy... So secret to this post is do not over due on the 4 day out of surgery... I learned my lesson.. Just wanted to spend some time with my family...
  12. i am going to have to buy this as well.. Sound awesome...

    Yeah I have a rash but only where the bandages and stuff were around the incisions were. I am allergic to the bandaids and sticky tape. SO I am a mess and soooo itchy... I still couldnt even think of solids. I am tooo freaked out. Maybe in a couple days but for now I am loving the liquids.. I am so scared to get something stuck.. LOL I am going to be like that forever.. I say good on u for eating just one cookie.. I will not be restricting myself from everything when u do that things fail.. I will be watching what I eat but this lapband is all about restriction for me. I will still eat the foods I love but in moderation now.. You are doing awesome....

    Well I am feeling much better today.. I crawled into bed today and slept another 4 hrs. That felt good. I have only been getting in under 500 calories a day.. Hopefully that goes up in the next few days.. Enjoying this stage of liquids but get filled up fast and then definantly have pain until I burp.. I get up regularily to get the gas out. I am still so happy I did this.. Loving my new life... Still feeling crabby and iritated easily my poor kids but I feel that as I feel better I will be better... Anyways life is good. Hope everyone is doing well...

  16. I was banded the same day.. I am not really craving any solids love the liquids and have noticed if I eat to much of them I get upset belly.. I think that is why I am not craving anything... I think i am loving the liquids because my preop was so strict and was just allowed shakes and two cups veggies a day. I am loving the Jello, custard, chai tea, Soup broth... and so much other yummy flavors. My doc has me on a 4 week post op liquid diet. Will see how that goes.. LOL
  17. Good luck and you will do well....
  18. congrats t all who have been banded... I am doing good just feeling really tired on day 3 out... Might have a nap again... Take care...
  19. michelleisaac commented on bigbaldeagle's blog entry in Blog 79877
    yeah I am day three and definatley feeling the same way with liquids. All part of the healing I guess...
  20. michelleisaac commented on amber06's blog entry in Blog 80744
    Yeah that is common it is from all the gas they use to pump up your stomach for the surgery. It is important to walk around a bit to get the gasses moving and get them out.. HOpe that helps..
  21. I might be able to attend as well if someone named Pat was willing to car pool... It just depends on my hubbys schedule.. I will know more later.. Right now if I was asked nope cause I am just to darn tired. LOL well goodnight all I am exhausted after the long painful journey home I could not sleep... So I am praying tonight goes better.. It would also be good to meet Lynn as well.. Us three banster sisters.. LOL

    I am hungry.. I am having a clear protein drink and a yogurt. I would wait personally for the mushies like grits, oatmeal and such until u are confident that it is not going to bug you.. They have me on liquids clear and not clear for 3-4 weeks then i get to conquer the mushies.. I would just go with what u feel ur body wants... I would be to scared to go to mushies this early but that is me.. I dont want to hurt.. LOL Hope all is well my friend..
  23. I lost 10 lbs on the 2 week liquid diet consisting of 3 meditrim shakes and 2cups veggies and some chicken broth. Good luck
  24. congrats I got mine today...
  25. Well I am home.. I feel good... Not great but good. Pain meds are working.... I did well doctors said I did great my Liver was good. I was released 2hrs after surgery because I was up and to the bathroom. I am so happy for Lynn and Suzanne. I got to met Suzanne so that was good. Get to keep in contact with her and have a good buddy... Thanks for all the support... I was so excited could stop talking about all the things I will be able to do... Thanks again will keep everyone posted...
