Manda, Yeah it was not a pleasnt experience .

I dealt with Kidney Stones proir to the band. NOT FUN. Good luck to you! I wish you the best!

Manda, Some surgeons put "primer" fluid in a bad. I had 2 cc's put in when I was banded and I had to have all 2 cc's removed. Due to the fact I couldnt even keep water down!

Flat out bread is like a wrap. check it out here: http://www.flatoutbread.com/ I buy them at walmart!

I used a flat out bread to make a "pizza" it went down ok and when I made it I put it on a cookie sheet so it didnt get as crispy as I would of liked. Next time Im putting it directly on the oven rack. But I didnt have any problems with the flat out bread.

I have the GE version of a bullet... got it at walmart and it works pretty well. I havent tried spinch in it but for the price of around 20 bucks it works well and came with a few different cups and what nots.

I love mine! Have not had any problems with it and have had it for 2 years. Like others my period has stopped after 2 months. It was a little uncomfortable having it put in but other than that it is pretty painless and not having to worry about it everyday like an oral BC is great. Good Luck to you!

Unjury is really good. I liked it the best and i tried several kinds. Also the GNC brand isnt too bad and they have tons of flavors!

I would think that if your having trouble eating you may need a slight unfill.

I thought about buying those o-purity vitamins. How do they taste?

Elizabeth Anne, I bought mine on amazon.com and got the chocolate varitey as well they came together for around 12 dollars.

My dr told me a calcium supplement and a multi, but read about the hair loss and got scared so I went to GNC and got the strongest dose of Biotin I could which was 6000. Id rather be safe then sorry! Thats just my 2 cents.

Mustard? really. Never heard of that!

The only thing so far I figured out I cant have is radishes. I tried them this past saturday at a resturant with my cousin and her 2 kids. I was alone at the table with the baby and ate one and instantly I needed to go to the restroom. She was up getting a salad and I had t wait because i obviously couldnt leave the baby alone...and as soon as she came around the corner I was up and running to the restroom... of course we were really far from it too!

It does get better! I thought the same thing as you! Try some gas x and walking for the shoulder pain, chewable gas x or the strips. I wouldnt reccomend the peppermint flavor.... seemed to make things worse with me but the cherry was fine!

Cider vinegar. If you cant take a tsp or so of that dilute it with water.

My Dr put 2 cc's in at time of fitting and I had to have it removed because I could not keep anything down not even water it was horrible!!! They removed all 2 cc's and I dont feel any restriction! I am hoping to get some on April 10th went I go back But I am also kinda scared to have the same problem again. The Dr said they will take it slow with my fills because of me not being able to handle the 2 cc's.

Any powered protien will work. GNC's brand isnt bad but i liked Unjury better. (www.unjury.com). I aslo got a chewable mutli vitamin. I have a history of kidney stoney so i had to watch what type of calcium so i got caltrate +vitamin d. I also take Super Biotin 6000 from gnc to keep my nails and hair nice.(i read about the Biotin on here somewhere and it scared me to loose my hair so I went and got some) Good luck to you!

I was also told to sip through out the day. 64 oz of water total.

elcee, your right they eat teaspoons of food. and so is germaine. theres no protein.

I tried the GNC brand but its price is comparable to unjury and personally i think unjury is better and worth every penny!

Stace We have the same surgery day!! When i had my first post op one week later i had lost 15 lbs. I havent weighed myself at home because like you i dont want to become obessed. But like you my clothes are fitting different and its great. good job and keep up the great work!

I asked my doctor if anything bad would happen if i did have a soda or two from time to time and she said no but advised me to have diet and not make it a regular thing. Personally I think your ok just try not to make it a habit. you had a moment of weakness dont we all?

Im not positive but I think draft beer(tap beer) has more carbination then bottle beer. I would stick with bottle but thats just me. And I wouldnt be afraid. I asked my DR about having an ocassional diet soda and she assured me nothing bad was going to happen just not drink it fast and I may get some gas pains. I would assume beer would be the same.
