I am a distributor, but only for the discount. I don't try to push it on anyone, I just like the discount for myself. That said, I like the Spark and Slam drinks.< /p>

Thank you all !!! It is a allergy to the glue ... Thank God is nothing to worry about .
Thank goodness. My first response when I saw the pic was hell no that isn't normal!

Rock on!! You are doing a great job!!

Are you eating enough? That could also be a problem.
Congrats on your NSVs!

Especially the recipe maker and scanner are awesome. Add me also if u want lanagirl1972
Yes! I love both of these features. It is sometimes a PITA to input recipes and then measuring them out into servings, but it is so worth it. I found that eyeballing a portion of Protein was not one of my strong suits and that I wasn't getting enough.

I do. I actually spoke with my doctor about this today and she said we will just monitor every 6 weeks or so (more if I am feeling bad) to make sure my levels are ok due to absorption and weight loss.

I went through them in Houston. I was just banded 5 days ago, so my follow-up/first fill will be in about 3-4 weeks. They seem to be nice and helpful though.

I am itchy too. I just lightly rub the skin around them. It helps a bit. DON'T SCRATCH!!

Thanks, everyone. I over did it yesterday and work up around 2:30 this morning in some pain. A quick dose of meds and a move to couch has helped.
And for the record - I am not a fan of broth. Good thing I wasn't hungry yesterday. Also odd, I love me some sugar free tropical Popsicles. I couldn't even eat half of one yesterday bc they were suddenly too sweet. Bizarre.

I got banded this morning and have been to the grocery store/pharmacy (meds and walking some gas out). I am home resting and watching food Network (my fave post surgery past time).
And for the icing on the cake - fellow bandaged Radarluv and I got to meet in post-op/recovery. Apparently there was some conversation pre-op, but I was already dosed on the good stuff and remember none of it!
I have neve enjoyed burping as much as I am now - ready to get this gas out.
I hope all of our recent bandsters are having a great recovery'

I love it! I am hpack11 on there.

Mine too!! Good luck!

I went looking for an update earlier! I didn't get a notification email. I hope all went well for you.

One and a half more days! Ready for Thursday evening to be here so I can be banded and home!

Oh great thanks!! What doea sf mean btw? Now I can jave this even though I am on the 2wk liquid diet?
SF = sugar free. My doc's dietician suggested it, so I know it is ok for me, but every doctor seems to have a different opinion on pre-op.

Hope all goes well!!

Do you have any idea's for the strawberry shake? Lol
I did a strawberry for lunch today:
Strawberry powder
Half a cup of cherries
SF Vanilla pudding
Ice
Blend it.

Hey, that is great. I hope we do extremely well. I am planning on it.
Not too keen on this liquid diet How are you doing with it? Mine is just 3 days. I can't believe some have to do 2 weeks. That would be really hard.
I am on 2 weeks of 2 Protein Shakes + one meal of lean protein/green veggies. I can also have a cup of fruit.< /p>
For whoever was asking about making the shakes better:
a few chunks of pineapple (I buy fresh and freeze)
a few pitted cherries (I buy fresh and freeze)
SF vanilla pudding (dietician suggested it)
Ice
A teeny sprinkle of coconut
And you have yourself a virgin pina colada. It is really tasty.
I do something similar but with chocolate powder and pudding, blueberries and cherries.
I will be able to get more creative once I am on liquids post surgery. I love adding a little Peanut Butter, bananas and cocoa powder. I also add a few handfuls of spinach. It blends in and you can't taste it. You just have do get past the hideous color it turns with the chocolate.

It is crazy the effect surgeries have on our bodies. Sounds like Fluid and gas. Keep calm and carry on - you've got this!!
-
Every doctor seems to have a different protocol. Mine calls for NO milk products for the two weeks leading up to it.
Crazy how they are all different. Good luck with your journey!

The word about mine is slowly getting out. I have several friends who know, but I don't tell them outright. They have asked what is going on and I direct them to my blog where I wrote about my debate on telling friends or not and that I didn't want to have to throat punch anyone who was negative. So...they can see what I am doing, think their own thoughts and make an educated decision on whether to tell me if they think it is a bad idea. Lucky for them, they've all been supportive.

Surgery date is July 19th. Lot's of different feelings. Fear and excitement. Not looking forward to the liquid diet although only 3 days for me. Definitely up and down with the emotions.
I am July 19 as well! THREE MORE DAYS!!

I am in public relations - I went back 4 days later and was fine. It is mostly a desk job.
