:thumbup:Well it's been 5 days since my surgery. How I feel is lightheaded and weak, but I think its due to the meds.:smile2: I finished my meds yesterday, but still have some discomfort in my mid section, and as if your burping it hurts the worst.:eek: I have been sticking to the liquid diet and lots of water in between. :thumbup: I have a thrist for water all the time.:eek: So far I have been loosing about 1 kg a day.:thumbup: Started at 123.1 and now down to 117.5. I also began walking and riding a stationary bike for about 30 minutes. I have added juices to my diet to quench my thirst but the right ones. Additionally, I am using high protein vitamins effective today.:wink: I hope my lightheadedness goes away prior to my beginning to work again in 8 more days. Does anyone know how long the soreness stays with you under the sterndom and on the left side. I do keep tabs of what I eat and drink, which is little. I am very happy that I chose LAP-BAND® surgery, as now I will feel great soon, my goal. Does anyone have a recipe list they wish to share with a beginner here. What do you eat each day for a week, at the 4 week point. I am on my second week next Monday so it's puree time and lots of soups. You may send any replies to giby97@hotmail.com. Thanks for listening.

Ken, protein shakes and high protein vitamins, where did you get them, and if its a korean product, what is it in Korean?

Amanda, I have been buying on base, Ensure choc and vanilla 6 packs. I drink one in the morning with two vitamins. Korean multivitamin but you can use US, or any multivitamin. I normally eat two with my shake, that fills me up from 6:30 am to 12 noon. The name on the vitamins is: CHLORELLA 100%, the wife bought it for me, two 300 tablet containers for 85,000won, purchased at a korean pharmacy.
