    Thanksgiving Dinner

    My first day on puréed food. I had mashed potatoes and applesauce.
  3. No pain. You'll be sedated and won't remember a thing. They'll slip a tube and camera down your throat into tummy to check it all out, takes only about 10-15 minutes. I think I was only at hospital a little over an hour total. You will have to have someone drive you home,

    Tanning?

    My surgeon said to stay away from tanning beds.. Tanning can cause your skin to loose elasticity.

    Best Position

    I'm 7 days post op and still spending most nights in the recliner.
  6. I'm 5'2 at my heaviest I was 354. Lost some over the years and today, I'm 6 days post op and 264. That's almost 100lbs and I have no sagging skin yet. I know with another 100 lbs it will be inevitable and with my shape it will all be lower body. Right now I'm not worrying about that, will deal with or when the time comes!
  7. Is it whey protein isolate? The isolate should help with lactose intolerance. If its straight whey I can imagine it would be a problem.

    Anyones Rings Too Big?

    As long as they are solid gold or silver they can be sized by a jeweler. Sometimes hard to find one who does silver work but they are out there. My fingers are always the first thing to shrink!
  9. I'm not even at a month, preop liquids started oct 30 and surgery nov 9th.... Down from 287.9 to 264.4=23.5 lbs in 2 weeks and 1 day!
  10. My surgeon allowed only water prepping but skim milk allowed post op.

    Buffalo Chicken Bites Recipe

    You can cut the carbs and increase the fiber by breading in pulverized fiber one cereal, the original twiggy kind instead of the corn flakes.
  13. Wow, I was banded on the 9th and am on liquids for 2 weeks, no mushies for me until the day after Thanksgiving!

    I had the same and it was repaired at the same time as the band was placed last Friday.
  15. I live Nectar brand, lots of flavors including fruit. The cookies and cream is great. You can order a sample pack of 10 flavors from their website.

    Day 3 Post

    I couldn't stomach straight broth either. I found low sodium bouillon cubes were much better!

    Tricare Prime

    Is your dr out of network? That would cause a lesser level of benefit to be available.
  18. My surgery is Friday and my instructions say liquids for 2 weeks then mushies/puréed for 2 weeks.
