If u had to drink protein shakes u can drink them now also for some extra nutrition thats about all i consume im not hungry at all so because im worried about being on liquids for 6 days has got to eventually take a toll. My doc says dont eat if your not hungry so i drink a slim fast for breakfast lunch n dinner and fluids between! U can do this i was banded same day as u we can do this good luck!

THAT IS JUST AWESOME IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU.. CONGRATS THIS REALLY INSPIRES ME MORE...

IM HAVING THAT SAME PROBLEM RIGHT NOW TOO AND THE PAIN IS GOING INTO MY NECK. IM USING A HEATING PAD AND THAT HELPS ALSO...

TODAY IS DAY 4 FOR ME AND I SLEPT ON MY SIDE LAST NIGHT I PROPED MY TUMMY UP WITH A PILLOW BUT EVEN THO I DIDNT SLEPP TRU THE NIGHT I GOT MORE SLEEP LAST NIGHT THAN I HAVE I 5 DAYS. YAY I FEEL LOTS BETTER TODAY...

Oh yes im right there with ta i used a pillow between me and the seatbelt and leaned my seat back a little which helped allot when i was discharged i had a two hour drive home sucked but use those tips and it helps allot! I just know if the darn swelling would go down id feel great! But ill just keep hoping for tomorrow!

I live in a small town in southern nebraska i had my surgery done 1.5 hours away and iv been askin around but no one knows of any other than over eaters program!

I WISH WHERE I LIVED WE HAD A SUPPORT GROUP

I FELL BETTER TODAY MY MOM CAME OVER LAST NIGHT AND MADE ME GO FOR A WALK WITH HER AND IT LOOSENED UP SOME AIR WHICH FELT GREAT. THE MEDS DONT EVEN WORK FOR ME N IV HAD TROUBLES SLEEPING BUT OTHERWISE I FEEL LOTTS BETTER TODAY SWELLING HAS GONE DOWN SOME DONT FEEL SO TIGHT. OF COURSE IM SORE STILL AT THE INCISION SITE BUT IM NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT TOO MUCH HANG IN THERE HUN IT SHOULD START GETTING BETTER SOON....

my doc says to call asap if its over 100 just fyi you can develop an infection at any givin point

EVERYONE I TOLD HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE OF MY DICISIONS. SOME DIDNT EVEN THINK I WAS AS BIG AS I ACTUALLY AM. I HOLD MY WEIGHT WELL. BUT TO THOSE WHO HAD DOUBTS ONCE THEY KNEW THE REASONING BEHIND THE BANDING THEY WERE ALL IN. AS I HAVE SOME HEALTH ISSUES THAT TAKE A MAJOR TOLL ON ME. IM NOT PICKY WHO KNOWS AND WHO DONT. EVENTUALLY EVERYONE WILL KNOW AND IM NOT AT ALL ASHAMED OF MY BAND OR THAT ITS MY LAST CHOICE. NOT SAYING ANY OF YOU ARE ASHAMED I KNOW ITS NOT LIKLY THE CASE AT ALL. I UNDERSTAND NOT WANTING TO TELL PPL I DEBATED IT FOR ALONG TIME. BUT I KNEW NO MATTER WHAT ONCE I TOLD ONE PERSON ITLL EVENTUALLY GET AROUND LOL...
