How are you doing?

How are you doing?

Kbush: I am doing well. In fact I think I have been doing too much. I cooked a nice dinner for my family yesterday, went got my hair done and was trying to do a little house work. I will be glad when the soreness go away. I only hurt when I'm I get up and sit down Or trying to get comfy in bed. Other than that all is well. How about you?

5 Also Hungry Sometimes

Mag citrate would be taken to help you gave a BM (poop).

The dizzy/weakness could be from lots of things.... blood loss, low blood sugar, blah blah blah

Not sure when you had your surgery but make sure you get in your protein, stay hydrated and be very careful walking, stooping, or bending etc...best to have help!

How soon did you all drive?

If you are on narcotic pain meds...you can not drive. I bought a new car 4 days post op...and drove it home! I was only on tylenol by then! Lisa

Need mushies help!

I need some ideas for no or low carb mushies. All I'm eating is carbs: mashed potatoes, grits, oatmeal....I get 0 veggies and very little fruit. Please help me with some ideas!!! As of today I can move on to eggs, tuna, and chicken - all very finely chopped. Thanks!

Tuna, chicken salad, I have also had wendy's chili in the blender. still tastes good. that also gives you protein.

Split. Pea or Lentil soup is high protein. Cottage cheese, Vegetarian retried beans, Broccoli and Cauliflower mixed with broth for flavor. Gerber baby food, meats and vegetables only. Non-fat, sugar-free yogurt if it Has fruit in it make sure you use a blender.

Hi all banded 29july

I got my band on the 26th my gas pains are horrible they said my hiatal hernia was huge and there was alot of air my left shoulder is terrible and I feel like I want to burp but I can't. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi banded 29 July I had the same side effects my left shoulder killed me and the top of my stomach with gas. Walking, warm water with lemon and a hot water bottle on your tummy and across your shoulder should help it did for me. Good luck. Let me know how you go
