  1. I am so ready for next Friday too....its something about wanting to chew...lol...

    Is it strange that since having the surgery, I have been noticing more and more billboards with food on it and having to smell what my family is eating...lol....

    oh well I am back on the boat with no pain....

  2. I did realize why I was in so much pain...I put a bra(sports) on Wed to go into work for a few hours, I only stay there about 30 mins....I put a bra on yesterday and once I took it off last night the pain was gone. went to get my hair trim and of course had to put a bra on and the pain was back.

     

    Well my mind is made up....I am going to try to avoid putting a bra on. I feel great!

     

    My name is Renata, you can call and text me anytime at this # 940.597.7584.

    I lost hope yesterday due to the pain, but I have not strayed away from my post op diet.

    I was only taking the powder with soymilk, but I was so hungry yesterday and on my way to the smoothie shop my light bud came on...the direction said use water anyways...so I tried it and I loved it even more. So I saved about $5...lol

  3. This gas had been crazy and everyone hears it...lol....I shower again today, and this time I did not put the bandages back on.

  4. Hey sister how are you>

     

    Let me begin.

    I made the trip, sleep in a daybed that night. The next day which was Friday I was in pain. It went from my left chest to my left shoulder, from there down my left side of my neck to the back side of my left shoulder. It happen Wednesday morning but it went away. I was literally crying yesterday.

    My hubby end up taking off work to drive me to my mother in law house. He is on call and I needed the help with my active 3yr old.

     

    Now this is were the hard part come in, trying to hide it from my inlaws. I love them dearly but I hate being questioned about why......

     

    I have been on my heat pad and put it like this, I am out of pain meds that the doctor prescribed to me. I just took the last bit before loginning to talk to you...lol....I have not been in pain today ,but I drink some protein and 100% grape juice and I am uncomfortable.

    Oh I took some milk of magenesium last night, so it is still working on me.

    A few Questions

    My surgery was an out patient procedure. Made it there at 8:30, completed paper work. I was called to the back and around 10:00 I had my IV. I was finish with everything by lunch. I made it home about 1:30pm. I think you should do fine going eith your hubby. I am taking care of my 3 yr old alone. Take your meds and walk. The gas will work its way down.:thumbup:
  7. Hey! I am Renata, I am not far from you. I was banded on 6/21. I would love to hear about your journey

  8. Hello, today. I have been doing good. The only thing I am faced with is pain from my cycle...I haven't had one in a while due to my IUD. So, that is what I am going through now. I took my son to childcare this morning, everytime I fell asleep today my sister called, but its apart of our daily schedule anyways.

     

    I am so glad the gas is being free. lol......

     

    I do feel problems in my throat since I had a haital hernia repair also.

     

    My husband left this morning for work, so its just me and my 3yr old.

     

    I wonder will I be able to make a 2 1/2 hour drive this weekend to see the hubby. do you think this is doable....

    I am new to the banding, I was banded on yesterday. I was very nervous and afraid. I am still in the same state of mind. I am sore and filled with gas. I started my weight gain around the time of having y child and from that moment my weight has been crazy. People still ask me am I pregnant or when is the baby due. My son is 3 and will make 4 in September, so you know thats depressing. My weight was 188 prior to surgery and I have a goal of getting to 135 - 140. My clothes don't fit properly and I hate shopping. I don't find bras that look right on me either. I made the decision to change and my change has started.

    Shakes & Meals anyone ever Cheated??

    I cheated but just alittle. On the days I couldn't get my protein, I only ate lean foods....everything was fine on surgery day. The doctor said my liver looked great..

    Banded 6/21/2010

    I am taking the pain meds whenever I need them(sorry, I don't do pain well). I walk constantly around the house. I just did a walk to the trash dump and back. I feel the gas behind my port. No my throat is not sore even though I had a haital hernia repaired too. I could not drink all my protein shake due to being to thick. Once it goes room temp, I don't want it anymore. I use silk/soy milk vanilla light and chocolate prootein powder from my doctors office. My hubby has been on top of it. Chicken broth(low sodium), water and crystal light. I tried ocean spray cranberry/strawberry. Mainly water, liquid hydrocodone, azithromycin, I have taken my nauesau meds one time. I have not had that feeling, so I am not taking it. Oh, I have been chewing the heck out of gas x...lol
