Clayverde - when did your gas problems finally go away?

I also read in this forum about a bandster who was taking infants Mylicon drops for gas?????

A bandster friend said the doc just prescribed some pills for her gas. I am not sure what, but we have the same doc. I am calling tomorrow. This is only Day #7 post op and I am not going to put up with the gas much longer (not sure what I will do but)!!! I am very impatient when it comes to pain and discomfort.

ShrinkyDink, Did you ever resolve your gas issues????? I am Day #7 post-op and I hope this gas thing is not a permanent problem. That would be horrible!!!

Hi DS36, Is crushed gravol a suppository or a tablet? Where did you buy it? Thanks!

I feel a little more normal now after seeing your update. I am seriously bloated too.....I wonder when that goes away. I was great this am......Let me know what Dr. Bhoyrul says. Also do you know when he leaves for his trip?

Ladytru84, So when did your bloat go away? Was it from the surgery Co2 or what???? This is Day #5 from surgery. I felt really good this AM and then ate (maybe too much too fast) that might have caused it???? Details please!!! Tnx!

When everyone says to get enough protein, how much are you getting daily?

Beautiful, What Protein are you using that gives you 60 grams? Thanks!

I wish you a lot of strength tomorrow! That will be hard, but if you have your mind made up, you will do great. I have been tempted to have a bite here and there during my liquid diet, but I know one bite leads to two, so I am backing off! Have a good Easter!

My doctor recommended 60 grams of Protein. I think that is helping me to not be weak. Also, I discovered I can have split pea Soup - that has really helped. Just broth and Jello was not working for me. I too had the headaches:cursing:....from lack of food and also going off caffeine. I am on Day #8 of my liquid diet and tonight I have a headache again.....our bodies must be in shock after feeding it for some many years!!! I am just thinking I want the surgery to well, and shrink that liver! Also, it will make it easier to adjust to eating less....when we get to eat we will feel like it is a ton! Good Luck!:bored:

Hi Delta, Well, we are in this together! You April 6th and me April 7th. It is so encouraging seeing everyone's BEFORE and AFTER pics. They looks so good, plus they must FEEL fabulous! Will be nice to enjoy life again without our bodies feeling bad!

ForMyBoys, This is horrible what happened to you. I am posing this question to the surgeon on how they attach the tubing to prevent the band from wrapping around the vital organs. I am so sorry what has happened to you. I do hope there is some positive resolution for you. This is the type of information I want to know about - - the showstoppers, so I really appreciate you sharing. The Best To You!

Has anyone had their Lap Band attach to any organs or muscle?

No problem Freckles....glad you are ok now!

Ms. Kutz, I was following your updates. So glad you finally had the surgery! The best of luck to you as you loose all those unwanted lbs!

Hi Freckles, You mentioned the band had attached to your muscle. Is that something that does not happen often and how did that happen? Prevention? Thanks!

Kathy, Another question...how long do you take the zinc for?

Thanks Cathy - This is the first I heard about zinc. Chewable zinc I suppose. Thanks so much for the tip! Terri

Dear Kybander, Did you get the help you needed? I hope so!

Hi Kellster, Regarding your diet history....I went to Weight Watchers off/on for 20 years, Jenny Craig and another place. Weight Watchers does not have any history to send me and I never kept it either. I am trying to track down Jenny Craig (over 12 years ago). How did you obtain your diet history? Thanks!

You are very luck! Keep it up!

Thanks for the update, "Dont"!

Thanks Ms. Fab for the great tips!!!!! You look like you have a good head of hair!

Thanks Bella! What chewables taste like chalk?
