sojo---never ever rude-----very caring/compassionate

call a pharmacy and advise you have the band and ask what can you take my dr said no nsaids and to take tylenol products hope you feel better

(((jealousy makes people so ugly))) and you know what, i wish people who didnt have anything nice to say, would just say nothing at all i am so proud of you

yeah......i did while me and hub were for me to be taken into surgery kinda hokey, but its dixie

i went to hospital at 7, surgery at 10ish........went home the next day around 5 in the afternoon glad i stayed as my dr's. nurses (and my hub) made me feel comfotrable (and cherished-if i may say)

congrats carrie welcome to this forum its a great pace for support, fun, and whatever else

i guess if you can (walk) do and go slow i read alot on here about people picking up where they left off

since i am a princess, i will say you can be a texas princess too it cant all be about me...just saying.....

seriously, if you dont eat....you will be hungry (and you are not hungry now because (if its true that you had surgery 5 days ago) you are most likely still swollen from the procedure you just had performed. i wasn t hungry for a few days and then as i healed, i started getting hungry. i agree with poster suggesting to make your own food because its cheaper and you control what ingredients are in there but i will still say that you are eating way way too early in my opinion. but that is between you and your doctor. sojo, mad and elce and patty and nw and ajtx and myself are just trying to help/understand. your profile is not filled out and you are saying things that are strange for someone who went through all the pre and post ops and meeting wth dr's and nutritionists (eating food 3 days out, drinkng with straw...) so that is why i find this thread (interesting) anyhow, all the best remember its up to you to make yourself well not just the band. its just plastic.

even though mad didnt ask me, my dr said no straws, i chimed in anyhow :wub:

baby bowls maddys?? i spilled my tuna in my lunch bag 2 weeks ago and smelt it all day......hadnt wanted it since and was in my coach lunch bag.........boo hoo hooo

i couldnt stand isopure. so ff milk and my shake for me. i even have one at Breakfast as i am to tight in the a.m. my work out, simple, walking. i am not overly mobile (yet) but am getting there on my 2 wk pre and 2 wk post, i had to do 3 shakes per day (4 if i got hungry)

<<<<<----sitting watching patty do her work out while my nails dry.......such is the life....madd bring me a ice tea..

no mam' i know you arent trying to mess u.never want u to think i meant that ...you are doing so great. just let your insides heal...i am concerned. if in doubt about what to eat, just ring the dr and make sure. just go slow. you will hear from people who may say its ok, but that them, this is you

patty up and down i am soooooooooooo helpful to my friends.... i want to save the animals...wait, they are in the world so yeah, i wanna save the world....

if you are hungry, that is normal. those Protein shakes were my food until my insides healed the more i healed, the hunger came back as ajtex said, just because we can eat/drink more than we should, doesnt mean we should

i think mine should say pink princess...

yes, because of all i did to have surgery why in the world would i mess it up by over eating/drinking shortly after surgery..major surgery.all dr's are different. more concerned with this persons health and not wanting them or anyone to rush allow your body to heal and rest...i mean no harm or disrespect to anyone (cept mad )

i sipped and i sipped for2 weeks...if i pushed it, i would get sick to my stomach, one time and i never did it again. it was clearly (a sensation of what restriction could feel like) i got full on a couple sips. now, just over 3 months out, 4 oz fills me up like at thanksgiving

no, because i was swollen from major surgery.

in all honesty and i dont mean to be rude, but researching online is different than following your dr's instructions. i was lucky to get down 24 oz in an entire day 4 days after surgery like you. i didnt not hit puree til 3 weeks out. but if our dr says its ok, all the best to you. but seriously, i think you are rushing it. just take care of yourself. that is what matters fyi--((eating too much or too quick or too big of bites will make you throw up, am sure the nutritionist/surgeon told you))

again, if you are on liquids, you wont or shouldnt get stuck..and you can help with not vomiting by sipping and not drinking/gulping your liquids. please go slow and let yourself heal. hang in there and congrats on your surgery

very very surprised you are eating foods so soon after surgery, i was on 2 week liquids after surgery. i advise you to go slow and let your insides heal. once you start healing, you will start to get hungry congrats on your surgery.

with plication, to my knowledge, there is not staples. just sutures. (but again i am not a dr and can only relay what i know and my experience)

def prepack easy meals in little zip locks or lock n locks fruits/veggies/ff dips/nuts...protein bars..hard boiled egg......home made chicken or tuna salad (measured to 3-4oz)
