Yeah going slow- but it was too much. I thought I would be ok but realized when I got home I had to lay down and all I saw was dots of black n white so I'm resting now. I'm having my first protein shake today. I was on clear liquids - water, broth, and clear protein drinks Friday and Saturday and today I'm supposed to go to full liquids - blended soups, yogurt,protein drinks and pudding for the next 10 days. What phase are you on?

Thanks! I still have cotton mouth especially after I walk.

Lap Band With Gastric Plication
shy2012 replied to Calamity Jane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm feeling ok. Trying to get protein down. I don't have much of an appetite. I'm sure I'm not getting enough protein down. Yeah I have a little burning at my port too. How much protein are we supposed to have? My book just says clear liquids day 1&2 then full liquids days 3-13. I've been drinking the nectar fruit juice has 23g of protein in it and unjury chicken broth. -

Whenever I log off LBT, I have to go back to the invite in order to post on the group because when I log in and go straight to my subscriptions it ask for a password. So I just stay logged in on my phone. So it won't keep doing that.

Pain In Middle Of Back - Relief Needed

Try mint tea. -
No I haven't experienced them because I'm doing everything to prevent the pain. Walking and drinking the mint tea. I'm burping alot- actually it's coming out both ends. Are u having this experience?

I just had lapband with plication yesterday- may 18. I feel pain at the port but it's not unbearable . It feels like I did a million sit ups. The worst for me so far has been severe cotton mouth! I've been eating ice all day. I would also say to walk walk walk and drink mint tea for gas.

My Dr. Says first 4-6 weeks is for healing -don't let it get to u. Maybe just consider it healing instead of a plateau.
-
It actually went better than I thought it would go. Just have extreme cotton mouth and sore throat when the pain mess wear off. Other than that I'm fighting the gas, I'm walkin 10-15 min every few hours then whenever I get up I walk around the house about 5 min. It's working!

Lap Band With Gastric Plication
shy2012 replied to Calamity Jane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just call me cotton mouth! Lol, I'm all banded and plicated up. My husband gets me up every hour to walk at least 10 min. So far so good no major gas pains. I'll keep u all updated. Sitting up in a rocking chair watching the news with a dry cotton mouth- constantly eating ice. -
I know right! I'm still excited- not as bad as I thought as far as the pain. But OMG do I have cotton mouth. Fighting the gas- and part of my bottom lip is swollen. I walked around the corner with my husband. Seems like everytime I walk my mouth gets extremely dry.
-
I did it! I'm officially banded! I have major cotton mouth!

GM... I'm here! I'll check in later. I think I'm nervous - my stomach feels funny.

Thank you :-), I was hungry on Pre op too, I bought those new whey protein shots from walmart and mixed it with crystal light. Its 42g of protein in one - they are real sweet though so I just added lots of water. I did that today for my clear liquid day. The other days I ate Greek yogurt fage brand and added low sugar strawberry preserves and that helped. It was mind over matter. I did cheat and eat dry roasted shelled peanuts w/o salt.
-
Glad to hear you are feeling better and recovering! I'm going in the morning- same schedule as yours. Get some rest.. Praying for continued healing.

Yep I cheated too! Not too bad I think. I ate shelled dry roasted peanuts with no salt.

It's my big day tomorrow ! Surgery at 8:30.
