Protein powder
disneymom1978 replied to disneymom1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am ordering Pure from bariatriceating.com. I was very surprised to see how many products they have and so many other useful tools. Thanks for all the advice! -
Protein powder
disneymom1978 replied to disneymom1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all so much! I will check out bariatriceating.com. Jess, you may want to check out the chocolate flavored Protein shakes. That's what my preop diet was and I just can't bear to drink them anymore, but they aren't horrible. Mine were medifast brand. Good luck! -
Too funny Jake! I dreamed of food last night too! I woke up, mouth watering over a McDonalds cheeseburger! I don't even like McDonalds! Lol! I'm eating mushies for lunch and dinner 1/2 cup or so and a medifast shake for breakfast, not because the dr told me to, but because I can't eat in the morning. I pretty much eat whatever I make my family for dinner and yogurt, tuna or eggs for lunch.

Post Op is rough
disneymom1978 replied to bandiebum's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded 12/15. For the first 3 days I "ate" water, chicken broth and pain meds. I slept a lot, but not thru the night. Now, 10 days out, I'm practically back to normal. I'm eating mushy foods, but I'm full after eating 1/2 a cup or less. I feel really good now. Give yourself 4-5 days and you'll be fine. Good luck! -
Do you wish you brought more
disneymom1978 replied to Southern Leo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was in the hospital at 9:30am and home by 3:30pm. I just showed up with the clothes I was wearing. Lol! I guess it depends if you're staying the night or not. -
I feel so cheated.
disneymom1978 replied to kaitlynmarie93's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So sorry Kaitlyn. I hope that Jake is right and you can still join. Congrats on losing most of your excess weight tho. I hope you are proud of yourself! I'm sure that you will find a rewarding career, military or not. You are still young and the world is your oyster! Good luck and have a safe and happy holiday! -
I really just want to rip these things off! I go tomorrow for my post op, so I guess I'll let the dr take them off.

Afraid to step on the scale
disneymom1978 replied to EndlsDremer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't lose anything my first week. I was bummed! Being on a liquid diet, I thought for sure I'd lose something, but our bodies are funny things. -

What is TOM? -
2 days in soft/mushy stage
disneymom1978 replied to Yetta2u's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also in the mushy stage and I've been eating yogurt a lot. I've also tried homemade applesauce and for dinner, I'm just eating what I make for my family and mushing it up. I have not tried any red meat as of yet. -

I'm 8 days post op and my appt is today. I'm hoping he will peel these suckers off! I'll keep you posted! -
Vision problems after anesthesia?
disneymom1978 replied to Jess55's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same problem and then I peeled that anti nausea patch off and I was back to normal in a few hours. Also, those patches make your mouth so dry I thought I was going to die! Lol! -
Home from the Hospital

Go for a walk around your house! It really helps to get the gas moving! Feel better! -

TO MUSH OR NOT 2nd week of being banded
disneymom1978 replied to Eveandlauren23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 12/15 and the first thing I ate after my 7 days of liquids was mashed potatoes. I didn't get sick or anything. In fact, it tasted like the best meal of my life! Lol! -
No Weight Loss on Full Liquids
disneymom1978 replied to dktqrmj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 12/15 too and I'm the exact same weight as I was the day of surgery. It is frustrating! I just started my puree diet and I'm hoping just changing the foods I'm eating will help. I guess we'll see! -
Omg Joe! I'm starving now! Lol!

Linnie- I had my surgery on Dec 15 and didn't get approval until about 4pm on the 14th! I was freaking out! My fingers are crossed for you!!

Dr. Vishnudas Panemanglore - Dr P
disneymom1978 replied to disneymom1978's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Happy birthday! How funny that we were both there on 12/15 and both with Dr P! Kim is great! I really like all of the staff, I haven't had a bad experience. I have not tried the support group yet, but glad to know it's good! -
Flipped Port :( ???
disneymom1978 replied to Tsaleen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This sounds terrible! I was just banded on 12/15/10 and have the Realize band as well. This makes me nervous. I wish I got the lap band! -
Good luck!

disneymom1978 replied to GardenGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I'm trying to do 1 protein shake a day, although I rarely can finish all 4oz. Then I'm "eating" broth and jello. Btw, I got hungry this evening! I was dying for mashed potatos! I had chicken broth instead, but at least the feeling is there! -

disneymom1978 replied to GardenGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 12/15. I'm still on liquids, but I'm not hungry at all. I have to set alarms to drink my protein shakes! I want other food, just because I want it, but I don't feel like I need anything yet.
