You Go Girl Good Luck! I would do the same thing!!!!

I was banded last Tuesday and taking my meds are so hard the taste is so bad expeally the capsle ones, I take cyblata and a blood presure which are capsles and the cbalta is little balls which donot desolve well and if you open them up and place them in your mouth you take in too much liquids. so anybody with ideas please let me know

Good luck to all the new bandster tihs week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes take it slow, I'm 5 days out and I had taken in too much (liquids) at a time and the pain was so bad in my cheat. wow you are drinking shakes already, I have to till Wednesday till my post op appt, with the Dr.

Man taking all my medication is so hard now, I take meds for my blood pressure, and depression and they are the worst. My depression meds are cybalta, sorry spelled wrong, and adderall xr ( which i haven't taken yet, since my surgery) As far as taking the other cybalta, when you open the capsule they are many tiny balls, which do not dissolve well, and when i open it and pour them in my mouth and drink I drink too much :woot:. does anyone have any ideas that may help me, I am starting to feel like they are not working, I just sit here at times and cry for no reason Neep Help :w00t:

I am 5 days post op, What causes your band to slip, I am so worried that this will happen to me, I try to do what I am told, but sometimes I'll drink too mush too fast, and I have so mush pain in my chest from it.. could this cause my bad to slip

I'm so glad I am not alone, I was worried something was wrong, I was banded 2-2-10. and it stated today and i was told it it is normal! and the other thing for me is the weak feeling, i am so tired and weak, i was got my period the day aftr surgary and i still have it, which normaly would have been gone aready.. so that as to do with it too..

Thank you, I was told by the Dr. office today that I could sleep on my side with pillows just as you said!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just banded this past Tuesday and i am having a hard time sleeping on my back, I have a bad back to start with, and my Dr said to sleep only on my back, i didn't think to ask him for how long. I usually sleep on my side, has anyone have this issue??

Hello everyone, been home now 24 hrs got home from hospital late yesterday, what a mess at the hospital, I was in the recovery room overnight, they had no beds, so there was 2 of us there, it was nice to have a nurse all to yourself, but really didn't get much sleep.they were cleaning, and making a lot of noise. Then went up to have a upper GI and than put into a room, where they really didn't help me at all.. So my over all hospital stay wasn't the greatest... Today not doing so bad just tired and a little pain in the area where they did the surgery. The gas pain was really bad that night of the surgery but it comes and goes now. But FYI to all the Women, I read alot of post about getting your period right after the surgery and it is true I got mine yesterday the day after, just be prepared for it in case.. I'm doing OK otherwise.....

Thank you all for the support!! Good luck to all the other Bandsters out there!!!!!!!!! Will post again when I get home from hospital Wednesday!

Hi AirForce.Wife, Me too 2/2/2010 Good luck to you!!!!!!!!!!!

The whole blender thing i'm not into either, I like the idea of oatmeal and cream soups. Did you make everything watered down?

I have discuessed up to the first 2 weeks, They prety much said that at my post up they will go over the 2nd part. but they already told me that I would do Bleader foods after that but i was just wondering what everyone else have done.

My surgey is this coming Tuesday, I know that you are on liquids for the first 2weeks but then what? do you start tryig foods or do you back to the protien shakes?

I'm going to CRAZY my surgery is Tuesday and I do not have to be there till 3 pm, all day no food or drinking, Nothing! I 'm going to stay up late and get up put my on the bus and then go back to sleep, hopefully that will help...

Thank you for the imput, it makes me feel better!

It was about 2 cups, I sure hope you are right, I will be very upset if my dr say differnent!!!!!!!!:bored:

My sugery is next Tuesday the 2nd. Has anyone else go thru thisand if so did they cacel the sugery, or was everything ok? I didn't have my last 2 shakes in hope to balance it a little

I feel like sh..... right now, I'm on the preop diet since 1/18 and i'm having my surgey on Tuesday. Tonight i couldn't stand it, my son was eating KFU popcorn ck and I ended up eating some of it. this is the first time I have cheated, but NOW I'm SCAREDI messed up. I didn't have my last 2 shakes to balance some of it, but the fat from them... I sure hope this doesn't change anything.. Has anyone slipped on something once and eveything was ok, I need to ease my mind !!!

FINALLY got my approval from my Insurance Today!!!!!!!!!!! I was getting worried my suragey is next Tuesday:thumbup:...It is almost there, starting to get real nervous and scared:scared2:

My Dr didn't tell me to stop until we were going over the preop stuff and we didn't relalize i was on BC, and told me to stop now. Now i'm worried about getting my period right before the surgey which is next Tuesday. Now with the bad ou can not be on the pill or is it just before and right after???
