I Never hear anyone talk about Protein Bars.... Is that a NoNo are they Not Good source of protein? Also what are some good tasteless protein powders??

Yes the pain is normal but everyday its sooo much better. I thought I had made a big mistake every time I tried getting up and down out the bed. But it truly gets better . Unfortunately the hunger does come quicker than expected. I need tips on that also.smile. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY.

O wow Elizabeth. I felt the same way. Day 1 was a breeze, day 2-3 was hard due to the moving around , but im on day 4 and I feel MUCH better.

I agree GuyGuys!! Im sure u will be A okay, the only real pain for me is getting up and down also.

Had surgery yesterday, Arrived at the hospital at 7am.Went to out patient surgery floor ,where all my vitals where check and I was given a gown long socks and some socks to help prevent blood clots. My doctor arrived at 830 he signed several papers, then called to rn's to let them know we were ready by 845 i going to OR . Yes I was scared shitless because I have never been putt to sleep, I was afraid I would wake during the process or never wake up.....Their were 3 nurses 2 men and a woman , they female said im going to give you something to relax, she put the oxygen on my face and after 2 breaths,zzzzzzzzzzzzzz,lol. I woke up in recovery by 930....After i was fully by 945-50 i was wheeled to my room . Lucky me my nurse was a beautiful lapband patient herself, she loss 100lbs in 10 months and she was a sweetheart and gave me some good advice. I walked the 2nd floor about 15 times, use the rr walk some more, ate a teaspoon of broth yucky,lol . By 1:30 I was signing my release papers and heading home to Ga and feeling damn good.I sleep most of the 5 hour drive. I had no gas issues but my port area hurts sooo bad when i get in and out of bed. And im not sure whats the best position for my body , im afraid the port will detach with all my moving around.

Yes different doctors, different rules. I am on a 4 week liquid diet. 2 weeks 6 days down and I have lost 30 lbs, could ve been more but I had a few setbacks . Good Luck and I wish you all the success!!
