Did U Tell Or Not? If Not..what Was Your Story?
waterchick replied to iriegirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I told everyone except my ex-husband. Lol. None of his business. Everyone has been really supportive. I've had to answer more questions than I thought I would. Everyone is curious. Most say I am stronger than they are and they couldn't do it. Makes me feel better. -

waterchick replied to nett31601's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Banded on 2/20. Mushies are much better than full liquids. Avocados are my friend. this is definitely a learning experience. Just now starting to feel like myself. -

2 Days Until Mushy Foods..help!!!
waterchick replied to luvbug0712's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Just started mushies. Scrambled eggs with cheese. Tuna with a little mayo. An avocado with Tuscan house Italian dressing on it. Cottage cheese with peaches. Refried beans with melted cheese and sour cream. Pudding. That's all I've had so far. Better than soup. -

Banded On The 28Th, So Much Pain
waterchick replied to FoxxieBrown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It will get better. I was banded 2/20. We all have the "what have I done to myself" thoughts. Walk walk walk. Remember they did some major stuff while in surgery. You're pretty banged up when you come out. There are much better days ahead. Hang in there. You've made it this far. Stay strong. We are all behind ya. -
My doc told me if I had a lot of drainage at night to take a teaspoon of lemon juice in the morning to break it up. It totally works! Though i do add a little splenda to it.

February Bandsters?
waterchick replied to mrsmyers2010's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck to our last day of bandsters tomorrow. You'll be closing our month out for us. I'm 7 days post op and can't believe the drastic improvement in how I feel and my energy level today. -
Well I was banded 2/20/12 by Dr Baker. Doing well so far. It's definitely a learning experience.

You can add me. Ambermce -
Love love UNJURY. The chicken soup was a lifesaver during preop and now during post op. I mix a little of the chk soup with tomato bisque and it's great. The unflavored is great to add to stuff as well.

I was banded 2/20 and returned to work 2/23. Worked 3/4 of a day and yesterday I worked a whole day. It really tired me out. Resting this weekend. Day by day feeling better. Wish the hideous bruises would Ho away that are on both hands from the first two IV attempts. Thank God they got it on the third. Lol I think that was the most painful part.

I'm 4 days post op. Trying to learn what a hunger pain is vs a gas pain. This has been a very mentally draining week. The physical part seems like the easiest. I watch the scale going down. Worried I'm becoming obsessive about it but the lapband HAS to be my main focus right now. I'm ready for the normal days. This too shall pass.... -

I'm on post op day three as well. Cream of Chicken soup is pretty good if you blend ip the chicken chunks. Also campbells has a portabello mushroom bisque that is divine. I'm adding unflavored protein powder to almost everything. I still have moments of "what have I done to myself?" that I'm going through. Scared but healing. I seem to get tired really fast. I went back to work today. Made it a half a day. Woohoo!!! Onward and upward!! -
I'm being discharged on Fat Tuesday. Too funny!!

I check in at 730 in the morning for surgery. Preop I am down 13.8 lbs. I'm nervous but excited. By this time tomorrow I'll be strolling the halls of the hospital dragging a pain pump beside me. -
UNJURY makes an unflavored protein powder. Also their chicken soup flavored protein drink has saved my life for pre-op. I have surgery on 2/20...Light at the end of the tunnel baby!!!!!!!!

Pre Op Diet! Hard Times, Trying Not To Be Discouraged!
waterchick replied to 4kmarie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel your pain. I have surgery 2/20. I had to sit in a lunch meeting with 25 coworkers eating burgers and fries while I sipped my hmr shake. I wanted to cry. I made it but whoa was it rough. -
