    LEFT SHOULDER PAIN

    I got shoulder pain 2 wks after surgery... WORST pain in my life. I would rather have another baby than that again. Doc said It got stuck in the banding area and that causes the diaphragm to inflame and then the pain starts and goes to your shoulder. i had to have my fill taken out and start back on clear liq for 3 days then the post op diet all over again. it has been 2 weeks since and I am much better and MORE careful about what i eat. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wFfMVxl/
  2. Banded On Feb 3rd. Finally feeling like a person again. Having trouble with eating too much and when to feel full. I have NEVER felt full prior until I was way over eating so not sure what just "full" feels like yet.

  3. Good luck tomorrow!!

    Great support on here!

    I agree. I don't have much support at home either. I have not been able to go to meetings due to work and little one's at home afterwork. Please feel free to connect with me if you wish. I get banded tomorrow. Feb 3rd.

    Amy's Story

    I have been in the same boat all of my life. I also "ate my last meals". I started the liq diet 11 days ago and it actually hasn't been too bad. I have used sugar free jello's and the puddings in my protein shakes. I put sugar free butterscotch in with vanilla protein shake and coffee, blended with ice for a wonderful Coffee Frappe! Good Luck to you! I get banded on the 3rd. VERY Excited for my new life!! I can't wait to see the SMALL version of ME!

    Banded 1/21 and need some help...

    The only thing I have been told is that Carbonation creates gas and leads to pain after your having fills.
  7. I am very Excited. I can't wait for Thursday to get here. I pray everything works out GREAT for Both of you!

  8. Good Monday Morning Friends! Hope everyone had a good weekend. I am counting down the days till I get banded. 3 More to go!!

    From: Banding on Feb 3rd. pre-op diet on!

    Nice to hear from You Mrs Mustang! Glad to have someone close to the same boat especially where the spouse is concerned! I came home a few nights ago and my husband had ate a 1/2 bag of regular potatoe chips and an entire small sour cream dish with onion soup mix in it - like home made onion dip. i would have liked to throw it in the trash.. but I didn't..
  10. Home made Frappe MMM Good!

    One Week to go to surgery

    Good Morning so far. I made a coffee smoothie. Taste like carmel frappe from Starbucks. That is what I would miss the most but I found a way to do it sugar free and low fat!! Sugar Free Butterscotch pudding, skim milk, decaf coffee, protein power (vanilla), Ice and blend. MMMM Good!

    What else can I blend?

    I have also used Almond Milk chocolate unsweetened if you can find it.

    What else can I blend?

    I love coffee drinks, so I have come up with something that is pretty good for me: Protein powder - I like vanilla Skim milk Decaff Coffee Sugar Free butterscotch pudding Ice Blend it It almost taste like a carmel frapp from starbucks . I have also used the sugarfree jello to put different flavors in the protein shakes.
