Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm new to this, but would love to meet other bandsters. I will be banded on 6/13/06 by Dr. Shawn Garber on Long Island, New York. Anyone else?

Well, got banded 6/6. Feeling much better now. 3rd day was the worst. Really not bad overall. I'll be on liquids for 5 weeks, so i'm doing cream of chicken, Protein Shakes and the like. I do notice that my stamina has been affected... I guess it will just take time. Now, does anybody have any good ideas for low cal liquids that taste yummy?

rebndave: There is a "sticky" on the food thread with some liquid ideas.

The best thing I have found is Gatorade, Shaved Ice, Mock Tortilla Soup, Cucumber Soup (you can search that and find the receipe), and Isopure shakes.< /p>

I have tried baby food, broth, Jello, pudding, but nothing beats that shaved ice... even with nothing on it, it is so easy on the tummy!

Barbara,

I don't know about Cindy's dr but my dr. only makes us do liquids for 24-48hours and then it is soft diet after that for 4 weeks. Melissa posted a list of soft food on one of the earlier pages that is very helpful.

It's good to see something on here from you. I was getting a little concerned. I've not heard of dilated pupils from anesthesia.

I am still dealing with dizziness. I thought it was getting better but this morning it's bad again. It's causing some nausea but not unbearable....yet. Any thoughts from anyone out there will be appreciated. I ate a few bites of oatmeal this morning with real sugar. Someone had suggested that I might need the sugar. I willing to try most anything at this point.

Happy Monday to all. Good luck to who are being banded this week and to those of us who are still recovering.

Sissi,

I had problems getting the ticker to work also. I had to try one of the other options other than HTML. I think it is the "bbCode". Also, if you do the preview, it will show you if it worked or not before it sends. Good luck! I hope this helps.

Guys/Gals: If you search "tickercentral" in the search section it will bring up about 10 threads on the ticker thing. I went to tickercentral.com copied and pasted the bbcode into my sig... and it worked just fine.

Now for my update.... I am sooooo hungry!!!! I am worried, cause my whole shake went down with no restriction this morning... no pain... Oh goodness... I am going to attack some mashed potatoes or something!!! ***deep breath*** Goodness... I never thought that mashed potatoes would sound so good!!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
