March Bandsters!

[Karla0306 16]

Karla, Glad its getting better. Mainly my gas pain is when I get up after a nap or sleeping for night. If this rain would let up then I could go for a walk outside. Thankfully, I haven't been interested in eating regular food so this liquid diet is easy so far.

Is the FB page a private page? Or just a new public page? Just wondering, if its a private page I would use my regular account..

some of the girls/guys are starting a new fb page. Unfortantetly I will not be doing that, Nursing classes start back up for me on the 19th and I just won't have time to handle two fb pages even though I like the idea. you are more than welcome to friend me on fb if you would like. look for karla spencer; st james mo. My photo here is the same as on my fb page

Newme2012: how are you feeling now? I was banded on the 8th and still a little sore but I just feel blahhh! The weird "I wanna burp and it makes it to the top on my stomach then stops!" feeling is driving me nut! did you have that?

I am doing great. I can actually tell when I try to do too much though. Like bending to give my baby a bath, or vaccum cleaning. After doing both of those I had to take pain meds which I have not taken in 2 days. So a little sore at times. I to have that burping feeling like it gets stuck in my throat but never actually comes out. So I know the weird feeling....

I have just a little over 48 hours until my surgery. March 13th at 3pm. A little nervous, but ready. Have been doing pretty well with the pre-op diet. Really to get it over with and all the nervous waiting.

Hernia combo folks-

If you end up getting a hernia repaired go buy one of those velcro adjustable belts at the sports store. I don't know why it wasn't recommended but they help hold your guts in. You may need to buy 2 because u don't want it too tight. I used a little extra piece of Velcro. It said fits 50 inches. Nope. Just a thought. It helps tremendously I Even use it when I sleep so I can roll over and not be hurting. Hope that made sense

Neekoal-- I too have the same thought. I'm scheduled for the 15th. I have to do 2 week liquid pre-op and there has not been one day that I have not put something else in my mouth whether it be a slice of cheese or a spoon of Peanut Butter. I do not like any of the Protein Shakes that I have tried. I have read that some people are not loosing weight so I'm concerned that I will be one of those people because I want it so badly. I just have to keep thinking positive . I also have a mother that thinks I will not be able to do this, so I'm determined to prove her wrong...

I found the Protein from Walmart is really good..I use one called Pure Protein and i heard body fortress is good too..and they are like less than half the price of protein at GNC

My date is fast approching (3/21) and I am having the hardest time with my pre op diet any tips for success

I have the same trouble della - all I can say it just keep looking at every meal as if its the start of the new day. I blew it the first 2 days of my diet - just trying to keep my eye on the prize!
