Dee, I did that with my Prilosec capsule yesterday. Got it out of medicine bottle threw it in my mouth & took a swallow of water,7 days post op. Then the thought oh geez what did I do. It turned out well, found out I don't have to open it and swallow a bunch of beads. And took my B/P medicine last night without crushing. YAY!

What an awesome thread, thank you! Congratulations on your success! Please stick around and help the soon to be & just banded ppl, me being one if them. You Rock!

No ones fighting, we're discussing.: )

Nurse put ice cold wash clothes on forehead & neck and had me sniff alcohol. That kept me from vomiting.

You will all do very well with your attitude . That's what is really nice about being on a forum. The pro's can inspire us and the ppl who make terrible food choices can also inspire us. I feel sorry for some ppl b/c they were given the LB, but absolutely no instructions. It amazes me. I was pleased to have 6 mths to research everything I needed to know about the band. Had my insurance said sure right away and a couple wks later get banded, I would have failed. I needed 6mths of LBT to be ready. To our success!

Glad you're posting & welcome!

I'm finding the opposite since banding 7 days ago. Hopefully it sticks!lol I only drank Water with a flavor enhancer, but now I want it plan. What I also have noticed my sense of smell has been enhanced too. If chocolate was in the house, I'd smell it.

R u on pain meds? I was on one that made me grab a pail every time. Dr changed med and no problem. Missy is right, call your surgeon right away.

T&P with you Jim. Keep us posted.

Good reading material.

Oh another thing, hot tea helped a lot. I drink decaf herbal tea.

I had same problem with feeling from drinking water. Dr said that's from swelling and it should be better in 48 hrs. Bandwagon Jean was telling me today to drink 1oz every 15 min. It will get better!

I don't know if you're trying to convince us or trying to convince yourself. I interpret it more like convincing yourself. Whats done is done. Work that band and don't look back.

You asked a question and then didn't like the answers.

You disrespected this person Dude! I kept waiting for you to apologize, but noooo.

Same thing those other threads you mention, that no one gets to see. Plus your continued use of the word research..
