You shouldn't be throwing up?? Maybe it's time to check in with your doctor.

Welcome! Good luck with your journey.....I'm anxious to get started...pre-op diet starts the 5th, surgery 21st if approval comes through. Hope all goes well for you! (another) Deb

I've read several that have struggled in the beginning. I'm not banded yet but it sounds to me like you're not getting enough protein. I would also try to find a support group for bandsters if you have one near you, I've been told that makes a ton of difference too. Hope things get bettter for you....good luck!

I start preop Monday the 5th....tried Unjury today, Vanilla, it mixes great, takes good but I have to hold my breath with I take a sip, it stinks. The Strawberry Sorbet was the same way. Both very doable though compared to other ones I've tried. Stocking up on broth, still need to get some more things this weekend. I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.....

That was my first appt, finding out about the program, meeting the surgeon, psych appt, and appt with dietician. I would call and ask for an appt.

I'm the 21st.....good luck ladies!! -
My doctor says if that happens I'm not getting enough protein. He also suggested flax seed oil 2 gel tabs a day, Nioxin Shampoo and 200 mcg Selenium per day. Good luck!

That was done and out of way the end of Aug. My 6 months was just up last week so I'm waiting for ins approval.I love this forum and have learned tons!! Hoope all goes well for you! Good luck! -

Hi, when is your surgery? I'm Mar 21....waiting for approval right now. -
Good luck! I'm waiting also, I think they sent it in last Thursday. I have BCBS also....they said to expect 2-3 weeks before we hear. I hope they surprise us and do it much sooner!! Hope you hear soon!

I say if you're young exercise!! Take it from me.....10 yrs ago I went on a diet and lost 70lbs and didn't exercise because a friend of mine told me she didn't and still lost 80 lbs. Well I'm flabby and I'm sure that's the reason I am! At 60 I have no doubts that it's not going to go away no matter how much weight I lose. Exercise!

I'm not a pop drinker but my doctor says no more carbination of any kind ever. So that's one that won't be hard for me to comply with! LOL

Nervous About Going Under
Ladybug28 replied to Fat Girl Slim's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
As long as both of your doctors know your concerns I'm sure they'll put you at ease. You'll be out before you blink and waking up in recovery. Prayer helps tremendously too! -
Reflux, No Money, No Insurance, Vomiting Episode Please Help Me
Ladybug28 replied to hhalphen's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I agree with Denise, you need to go to the ER. I don't think they throw out indigent people when there's a problem. Talk to your doctor if you don't go to the ER, you need to be seen by someone soon. -
Oh good! That's what I just bought sample pkgs of...Unjury. I'm not a chocolate lover so I got the strawberry, vanilla and unflavored, along with their chix soup. I haven't tasted them yet, I need to as I start my preop on the 5th. Thanks so much for the info and congras on a great job!!

I've seen it on here a couple of times. Did your doctor stitch it down?
-
Can I ask why it took so long for your first fill? Your choice or the doctors? Just curious.

Hi, great seeing your fantastic results! Very encouraging! Tell us a couple of things that you think is the most important, and what your favorite protein shakes are please...thx!

9 Days On Pre-Diet And Already......
Ladybug28 replied to SGP78's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck to you both! I start mine on Feb 5th, can't wait! Everytime you get tempted to eat something you shouldn't yet think of how wonderful you're going to feel and look in 3-6 months! Make up your mind you're going to defeat the control food has over you! You can do it, make sure you're getting enough protein too. Bless you and your journey! -
