What brand of daily Vitamins are y'all taking?

No I'm not eating fast or hard foods. It hurts from when I start eating until I finish. Sometimes it hurts a little and sometimes a lot. It feels like a sharp/burning pain. It goes away after about 2 min but the next bite hurts again.

I was sleeved July 26, down 48 lbs. my only complaint is stomach pain every time I eat. Does anyone else have this problem?

I am 8 1/2 weeks out and have lost 31#. I have been at a stand still for 12 days. I actually gained 3 lbs within that time. I am getting frustrated because all I eat is Protein. What else should I do? I don't want to gain weight again!

I had the Lapland done in 2010.... Gained 20#. Sleeved July 2012 and it's the best thing I have ever done. In 8 weeks, I'm down 31#.

Hi there! I was sleeved July 26th.. Down 27#. It was rough the first week or two, but no regrets now! I'd do it all over again! Congrats to all of you on your weight loss!!

Hi. I am 5 days post op. I had my sleeve done at Ochsner in New Orleans, La. My incision pain is fine. I had buyer's remorse for the first 2-3 days, but feeling much better now... Today, feeling a little lightheaded and hungry or is it acid? I would love to hear everyone's story 1 week post op. What are you all eating/drinking? I am definitely having trouble with Protein intake.

Hi Everyone.... I had my sleeve done on July 26th.... 5 days post op. I had to stay in the hospital 2 nights due to nausea/vomiting. I was very depressed until yesterday... thinking "What did I do to myself" ... I definitely had buyers remorse. Today is a much better day with my mood. I am starting to feel hungry or is it acid? I am going to start Prilosec today because my insurance refused to pay for Prevacid.

Glad to see everyone is doing well since their surgery. I am doing very well, only lingering incisional pain at the site of the port. Not too bad though. I see the doctor on Wednesday and hope to advance my diet. I am hungry!!!

I really like Dr. Wooldridge! He is good looking! LOL!!!

The entire staff is extremely nice.... I am soooo glad I decided to have my surgery there!

I had my surgery on 7/22 in New Orleans... Just wondering if anyone here is from my area.

My surgery date was 7/22 also! I am not having very much incisional pain but the gas is most aggravating. I am hungry though! I am eating creamy Soups, broth, popsicles and I will start pudding tomorrow. I was told clear/full liquids for 2 weeks then advance to soft... never told anything about a puree stage. I would love to have more selection though!!!

Congrats to everyone and hope all is well!!

Hi Everyone!!!

I am doing so much better today. Walked around in the yard this afternoon. The gas pain is still there but not bad at all! I have been hungry though. I started my Protein Shakes today and that has helped. Everyday will get better!!!!!

Hello everyone!

I am finally home. I had to stay 2 nights because of epigastric pain and nausea. I haven't been able to eat anything since the night before my surgery. Thankfully, today, I am able to eat SF popsicles. I think the pain is more gas!!

How is everyone else doing? I hope all is well!!

Sure!!!! We will all stick together!!

Of course you can join our group!!! We will can all stick together!!

Good luck everyone on OUR surgeries this week. I will be thinking of all of you!!!

Post after surgery to let everyone know how they are doing!!

The Isopure is 2-3 per day! Also, skim milk, 1 scoop of vanilla Protein powder, frozen berries and ice in blender makes an awesome smoothie.... I prefer that over EVERYTHING else..

I am starting to get nauseated when I even hear the word protein!!! LOL!!..

Hello Everyone!

I am scheduled to have Lapband on 7/22/10...

I am on the 3rd day of this horrible liquid diet also.. I found a variety pack Isopure punches at GNC, not milk based! Flavors are grape, pineapple banana, cherry, apple, etc... It is kind of expensive though... $17.00 for 6 bottles. 1 bottle has 40g of Protein though....I find it is easier to drink these than the milk shakes... Put in a blender with ice to make a slush!! I have been drinking flavored Water, broth and juice from my vegetable Soup I made earlier... I am still hungry though!!!!

Anyone who was banded recently, please post how you are doing and what you are able to eat right now...Just wondering how it is within the first 2 weeks after surgery.

THanks!!!

I found out from my nutritionist that the Kelloggs shakes were the wrong ones to drink... Went to GNC today and bought Isopure Protein punches... Better than the shakes...with 40g of Protein per drink!..

I think because we are all having Lapband basically at the same time, we should all stick together as a group through our weight loss journey.... share our ups and downs and help each other through this time!

Keep posting everyone!

Today I am really hungry... I made a vegetable Soup and drank the juice... Hope that was ok...

Also went to GNC and bought variety pack of Isopure Protein juice. It is expensive, but I prefer the "juice" taste than the "shake" taste and also has 40g Protein.< /p>

Just gotta keep thinking to myself, "Remember the prize in the long run"... that helps me to get through the day.

Spoiltmom, what insurance do you have? I just got approval with BCBS last week... BMI 37... with High Blood Pressure...

Thanks for the information! Keep us posted!!!

Thanks for posting! I am going to be banded Thursday.... I am a little nervous, but on the other hand I am soooo ready!!! Keep us posted!!! Get well soon!!
