Any body else dealing with hiccups?

I had a hybrid hiccup burp the first few days after surgery. Gone now.

I guess that's what I'm experiencing. Little annoying but hopefully it goes away soon.

Hey all! Just want to let those of you that may not have heard that we also have a very good and VERY private group going on' date=' on Facebook. It's not meant to replace this at all.. it's just another resource. Personally, I like it. I feel like we've got a little family going on over there. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Anyway, you can't search it because of the privacy settings. the only way to get in is to message me with either your email address or your facebook name. If I have to find you using your facebook name, I will have to add you as a personal friend before I'm able to add you to the community.

Just thought I'd put it out there! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I think I finally made a ticker and am I had to go on the site. Hope you all have a wonderful day and we all reach personal goals. I also had hiccups and they were annoying but they go away once more air leaves your body. I look and feel much better. I cleaned the gross sticky tape off..thanks Aviva for letting me know to use some alcohol. I also weighed myself and I think I am down another 2 lbs but again its on a different scale so I am not counting it. I am going to tutor today. summer school is closed on Fridays. I am sure ill come home exhausted but that's okay with me because my body is doing a fantastic job with healing! enjoy your morning everyone!

I was banded the 17th. I also had a hiatal hernia repair done at the same time. That is my biggest source of pain right now. Not feeling the best. Pretty down, actually. I know I will feel better soon, but man it hurts to breathe. I am having minimal if any pain from incisions, its the darn hernia surgery that is causing my pain with every breath. I lost 45 lbs prior to my surgery, but still have quite a ways to go. I am still up 5 from the Fluid from surgery, but I know that will go down in time. Just sipping on my Clear Liquids and looking forward to full liquids starting tomorrow. Then I can have a shake again and help some of the hunger and energy issues. Been having lots of nausea, but the meds seem to be helping take the edge off of that. It sure is a process and quite the journey. I know it will be worth it.

Simonsaysbaby I'm sorry you're not feeling well I promise it gets better you will be amazed at how fantastic u fell even tomorrow. Stay strong it's worth it

Good morning everyone!!

It's been a long week 1 post op I must say. I have my 1st post op visit with my doctor today. Totally sick of Protein Drinks even though there are many more to be had. The mushy stage seems so far away but I'll be glad when I get there. Nagging back/shoulder pains still come and go. I hope all of you are steadily progressing!!! Have a nice day :-)

Discount Protein products?

Okay guys, I need to catch up on the thread but need your help while I'm thinking of it. I'm starting to get my hunger sensation back and am

1. On a very tight budget

2. SICK of my chocolate/vanilla/strawberry Protein Shakes.

I'm willing to buy online. Please reply to this thread with suggestions; I'm in the purée phase and already eat 1-2 Greek yogurts a day it seems.

Thanks!

I also tire of my vanilla and strawberry powders. Sadly I don't care for the choc ones. To make them more interesting I've been into smoothies. Strawberry powder with some diet lemonade blended with ice is diff enough that it feels like variety. And then you can get more elaborate from there.
