Microwavable pork rinds...they also have protein in them

5 days post op and finally can say I feel better today. Big difference from cussing the nurses out over pain meds on tuesday...dont get me started! I can say that moving around every hour and getting that gas out has helped sooooo much. I'm up to 32 oz of water today and had a good amount of protein today even though I'm still working on getting to 70. Yes I'm still sore.. yes I still can't bend over and touch my toes and it still takes a gentle touch to roll from one side to the other but I don't feel like the pain will never go away. I wanted to share this for all the people getting banded this week. And I still hold firm that this is better than having my gall bladder removed. I plan on even getting out of the house tomorrow. Good Luck to all of you getting banded this week.

Jay robb dreamsicle or trutein any flavor

I feel ur pain...take ur meds every 4 hours for awhile to stay on top of you pain..lots of pillows heating pads and hot showers...and of course make sure every hour even when ur sleeping to get up and move around for 10 or 15 minutes

Im wearing a ballgown for my wedding dress but I want a long slim halter for my reception for my december 2013 wedding

I was banded on Tuesday and my doctor said I had the worst hernia he has ever seen. This is making recovery worse then had I not had one. I still am holding about 15 pounds of gas that doesnt seem to want to move ;( I've done gas strips, hot tea, walking every 3 hours and heat. Nothing seems to be getting this gas to move. It hurts to take in deep breaths! Any other suggestions on how to get this gas to move...it feels like I have a 15 pound baby rolling around inside of me.

Not in two much pain meds are making me foggy but bearable. I had to request morphine because what they were giving me weren't working

I got banded today and ir defiantly is not as bad ad having gallbladder removed...it hurts but that that morphine isn't handling.

I'm being banded on Tuesday and I cant wait to have something...anything with hot sauce! anyone have problems with spicy food after their surgery? I love hot spicy food and worry about burning and such. Also just wondering what other foods people have problems with..I know some can eat bread and some can't and also have heard some of you say things about dairy products..anything else? I know we're all different but I like to what other people have experianced.

I had a problem with going to the restroom every 5 minutes and actually began to bleed alot. I called my doctor and they told me I could take pepto at anytime for any nausea, loose stools or anything else yucky... I know I'm on a full liquid diet for 2 weeks but the one night I cheated I felt completely sick to my stomach all night. I think it's all part of our bodies getting rid of the toxins. Try some hot tea and eat like you would if you had your lapband. really small tiny bites and chewing consistantly.

ugh sounds like I should have eaten a bucket of hot wings before I started my liquid diet. Oh well new life in on track...hopefully I'll be one of the lucky ones who will be able to tolerate the hot stuff... If you read up on spicy stuff it really speeds up the metabolism and has other benefits as well. I remember my moms friend used to drink a tablespoon of hotsauce and garlic everyday swearing she never got sick because of it...she was a little cookey though so who knows.....

My surgery is also Tuesday ...praying all our stars are aligned that day!

I was just wondering ...what kind of pain is the port pain after surgery? How would some of you describe it and how long does it last...5.5 days to go and very nervous!!!

7 days to go .... I have finals all week and trying to focus but its completely impossible! My last final is 18 hours before my band...I pray I pass with my nerves on end. The liquid diet has me in a fog and making studying a b@#$*!!!!

I'm on my optifast diet as well for my surgery on the 31st and the shakes taste much better if u add 2 packets of splenda to it while mixing.
