I go to the classes and I have the Kinect video game version. The classes are more fun and easier to follow plus, I'm pretty competitive and I want to be the one who is spot on with my moves, lol I never am but it's fun to try. The video game has lame music, the classes have great new music, lots of Pitbull, love that guy. There's accountability with the classes because the people get to know you and if you miss a week they'll say, hey, where have you been? The videos are good for learning the basic moves so you're not lost in a class.

Same thing happened to me!! Cinnamon toast, didn't chew enough but had never had a stuck feeling. I did like you, paced around the house, stood near the bathroom in case of vomiting, thankfully I didn't. Cereal with milk hates me too, I think it's the solid/liquid combo. Basically Breakfast time is Protein shake time, I just have to live with it.

I feel ya. I had surgery in July and just this week after my 3rd fill can I feel the effects of it. I didn't gain up until now but it was a slow loss, not noticeable. I was bummed in bandster hell and now am trying to figure out what I can eat!

I was pretty strong before surgery now I get winded just walking to the neighbor's house. I am so glad I found this conversation, I feel a little better, I'm eight days post op and still can do so little without getting exhausted.

I just got home from the imaging center. On the way home my doctor called me and said there are no blood clots in my legs! Yay! She said to drink lots of water and take the prescription narcotic again before bed. Now I'm exhausted from just that little trip but later am going to get my pickle juice. Thanks all!!!!!!!

I mentioned my leg cramps to my nurse friend at my surgeon's office and now I'm off to the Imaging Center for an ultrasound. I guess post surgery leg cramps could be a sign of a blood clot. I'm sure it's not. I just need some Vlasic juice and agua. I'm on my way so will let ya'll know what they say later.

My mouth just squirted reading about pickle juice, I LOVE pickle juice. I'm going to get some today. Thanks X. Also, yes, Highland, I thought I might be dehydrated because my tongue was kinda fuzzy. I'll drink water and pickle juice today. I'll have great breath hee hee!

Oops, and forgot to mention I was banded a week ago.

Second night in a row I am up at 3-ish in the morning with leg cramps. This happened before when I was on the Atkins diet. Anyone else? Any tips? I take liquid vitamins and eat half a banana a day for extra potassium, I am certain I am not getting as much sodium that I need because I am craving salty food.

I took my liq hydrocodone, doused my shoulder in bio freeze and laid down w the heating pad and pain is goneeeee Thank you JeSUS!!!

so much good advice, thanks everyone! I'm hungry & headachy & shaky & angry lol nice to know I'm not alone

thank you all for this post, my surgery was the 5th too and I'm in agony with this shoulder. I've been walking, been chugging the water, sprayed it with bio-freeze and now I think I'm going to dip into the pain meds. I told my husband that I regretted having the surgery today because of this shoulder pain and the "reverse burps" when I drink which aggravate the shoulder Reverse burps are a bubble going down instead of up but I have like a hiccup at the same time-yowza. I know I truly don't regret it but ^%$@@$&()_^*#@ it hurts!

I have an eating question too because I have been soooo hungry on my liquid diet. Today I went to Panera and got Broccoli Cheddar soup, took it home and strained it and finally my hunger headache went away, its been keeping me up at night. So Carley K, you say that you won't be able to drink a whole Atkins shake, I can and do. I don't have any fluid in my band yet so as I understand it liquids would pass right through the pouch to the larger stomach area. I guess I'm asking to see what everyone else's hunger level is on the post op two week liquid diet. If I'm off the charts hungry then maybe my band slipped while I was sick after surgery. Just being paranoid.
