LADY LOVELY

Wat is the best Protein Shakes I should?

well iuse to smoke but now it leaves a realy bad taste in my mouth.

Hi Everyone,

I had my banding done on September, 26th ( 3 days ago). It has been a tough time because initially I planned to get the Gastric Balloon, but then at the last minute I went with the Band. I had my Op done in Korea. The first day was so rough. I had the worst chest pains. I had my doctor remove some saline from the band. I felt really scared about not being able to breathe properly. The worst part was that I couldn't burp! I think that made my chest ache more. I think my body was in shock. It was my first time having a surgery. The past 3 days has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Sometimes, I just cry, thinking why did I do this to myself? But, I'm trying to be strong. I'm trying to just take it one step at a time because every day I am feeling a little better. The first 2 days, all I wanted to do was sleep. Yesterday, I started back working. I worked for just a few hours, but I was really aching after. I'm a teacher. I'm accustomed to jumping around and being active in class, but yesterday I was barely able to sit and stand properly. I think what scares me the most, is my worry of something going wrong. I wish I was better prepared, but I am trying my best. For the past few days, I've been on just liquids.

WELCOME NEWBIE ITS NOW TIME TO GET UR MIND PREPARED. I JUST HAD MINE ON THE DONE ON THE 27TH. START GETTING RIGHT NOW SO THAT YOU WILL BE OK LATER

hello well it sound like ur doing really good. well i cant really tell any diffrence yet i havent weight my self but will try next week. i am so ready to work out but its only been 3 days till my surgery and my stomach doesnt seem to like anything cold so i am doing warm clear fluids. ugh wat i really want is some real food lol

I made it too! My surgery was on 09-26-11. I had the Lap Band procedure and the surgeon found that I had a hiatal hernia that I didn't know about, so he fixed that too. Hey I am with you about a cheeseburger! I am going to get some Protein Powder today. With just fluids I feel weak. Might also check out ready to drink Protein Shakes. We're going to look and feel so much better real soon! Have a great day!

yall r great on here yes i will definly keep my staus updated. but to julia i want a fat ass not a fat stomach with jelly rolls!!! lol thickalious is wat i wanna be not a tooth pick

Hey gurl yea that sounds like a pretty gud ideal. lol im going to rest for the remainder of the day! but dnt rest to much dnt want those blood cloths so walk a little bit.

Just had mine on Saturday. Finally home and decided I need to take it easy today.

Lol thats great i came home yesterday as well. i dnt really like ivs myself

I made it also. Came home from the hospital today. Im feeling pretty good as long as i stay on top of the meds. The toughest thing for me was the shoulder pain. And getting poked 8 times when they were trying to find a vein for the IV.

Thanks and today i feel sick.. jow long does this last??

Glad you're both back home and on the other side. Hope you're feeling better soon.

thanks so wats your story??

ok i made it and I feel kida sick but its cool. Im still on my clear diet. No lie i was i could have a cheese burger. Lol .. but any ways people who r just starting out feel free to add me as a friend because we all each other have and besides i need some new friends.

I am a september bandster and i get my surgery tomorrow.i about the support thing.. we all need it

Ok July Bandsters was a great success and I was so thrilled to watch everyone's progress and immediate results that I thought we should start a thread for September Bandsters to share

I'm excited and yet apprehensive at the same time as I'm sure eveyrone has been. I start my presurgery diet next week (high Protein, low carb). I was only 37 BMI so they told me to hold off until I got approval! On September 7 is my preop. I also think that's the day I start the preop liquid diet?

Feel free to add yourself and we'll keep track together!

Well thank u . u have one more week so how do u feel.??? u going to do great i will pray for 2>

I don't have any words of wisdom BUT good luck! I can't wait to hear how you are doing! I have my surgery in 1.5 weeks.

ohh ok i thought that it was all the same. but ok i see.

It seems all the doctors have different methods. I've read on here where some doctors let you do what is going on here. I know I'm on a 2 week liquid before and after then after the 2 week liquid after I get to so on pureed.

It is such a deliccate process try not to overdue.

THANKS AND GOOD LUCK U ALSO.

Congratulations. I had my surgury on 9-1-11 I have lost 25 pounds. I had my first fill this past Wed. didn't hurt just a very weird feeling. I can see a difference now in how much I can eat and I stay full longer. I think it helps not drinking Water during my meal. I follow that to the T. My Dr. suggests no drinking 20 min before a meal none during the meal and none an hour after the meal. That has been my hardest adjustment. I hope all goes well with your surgery.

CONGRATS I UNDERSTAND UR FEAR BECAUSE I FEEL THE SAME WAY. I AM DUE SEPT 27TH THATS THIS TUESDAY AND I AM SO SCARED
