They keep giving me all these other drugs I am not used to....since I only do natural....and all they have to do is give me Valium fior a few days and the spasms and seizure lioke activity will go away~ IF I HAD KNOWN THIS SURGERY WAS GOING TObring out the sumptoms I would not have had it! :sick I feel sooo miserable!

Thanks Vegge! I hope the symptoms will go away soon...I could not even go to work today...and I have no sick days! I hope by Friday I will be better. I just bought some bemadryl in case it is an allergic reaction to either one of the meds thay had given me including anesthesia or God forbid the BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:faint:

I did not take any of those. They gave us something to sleep at the hospital and I brought CHewable Gas X for gas...liquid tylenol for pain...that is it. Good luck!!

Thanks Cgris, I really needed to hear this...I have bot lost more weight...but I have not gained it either so I guess I'm good...besides I know I am not healed yet because my MS symptoms came back...so that means mt body is off balance... Thanks for the reminder I was feeling kind of blue with everything!

Hi Moniica...Hope you found the board....!

Hi Vegge! WOW 21 lbs lost? !:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: You seem to be in good spirits. I am getting hungry so I have started on mushies and some soft foods ahead of schedule, but many other Docs do so i am not too worried it helpss the hunger and I am only eating 3-4 times a day as oppossed to 6!:hungry:

Flaxseed oil is excellent for all lapbanders...good for th eheart, arteries, haie, skin, etc. Biotin isd good for hair and all the B viatmins...do not use vit. for hair. Also use folic acid, especially if you do not eat meat... very important for heart health and if a young woman for the possibility of getting pregnant in the future.

I gfeel I will need one much sooner! Mine was Nov. 7 and although I am on mushies, I am always hungry!! They prefer much longer before going on solids and I thnk I am rady for some solids...and a fill maybe right after xmas! How long before your first fill?

You are welcome!:girl_hug:

You are just right...just add protein to the carnation drinks, they do not have enough...

As long as it was all mushies it's ok...do not worry...do one more week of liquids now.

This CAN"T be true!!!!!!!!!! What about all of us new people?????? Do we NOT count? It has to be spam!:faint:

Dear Boppers and anyone else.... Sugar and any white processed food willdo this! It is hard the first week, but really do try to stop all carbs for a week or two, no drinks with meals and water in between. At first it will be difficult, but the you will begin to see a difference in cravings. Just eat lean protein and green veggies and make sugar free jello with something inside like use some fat free half and half and it becomes a creamy yummy dessert, just not too much creamer ok? You can also freeze it as ice cream in little cubes. Add vanilla flavor protein poweder so you are not hungry. For a while write everything down...you will get the hang of it and then will not need to write everything down. Also eat you bigger meal in the day time...a small one at night. Hope it helps... oh by the way, take cal-mag every night pour the powder from the capsules into a smootie or jello sand reallt stir. Hope it helps!

I am feeling soooo hungry!!!! How much mushies can we eat? I am trying to stay if possible under 1000 clas....my weight is stuck....210 and it is not coming off! Any suggestions?:help:

Dear Full Of Grace, Try Airborne...just let the fizzz go away now that you are naded before you drink it. Hope you feel better soon!:sick

But wait...as long as we are witin our caloric limit of 800-1200 can;t we indulge a bit?:girl_hug: Also I am ON MUSHIES,-...I thought I HAD to eat a few times a day...5-6???? Help?

Hi Vegge, Yes the biggest thing is erosion...so only use excedrin if it is the only recourse. Very little aspirin also. My first day back at the hospital yesterday was a killer for me! 12 hrs. and my leg spasms non-stop...today they are better. Yesterday i wlaked around with a cane all day long! Embarrasing.... Glad you are all doing well...and yes Karen...I was hungry...I took bites of everything!!!!!!!!! It all went down except for one piece of dry breast of turkey whc was kind of stuck bad feeling!

Welcome back Pink! 10lbs! WOW! Welcome to all the new members! Have a great day!
