Whats going on with me. I am just having such a hard time. I was banded 10/10. The protein shakes? Im drinking plenty of water. Taking stool softeners and MOM. Ive never felt it this bad. Getting very cranky:(

Do you have to drink alot of Water with the mirolax. Is that ok as far as drinking a lot at one time?

Besides greek yogurt and sf pudding what other soft foods can i consider. I have appt with dr monday to discuss this but hurricane sandy is coming and im not waiting fir my mushies.lol

Does anyone take oxycontin for back pain? Wondered if its a oroblem with the band

Thats wonderful!! Keep up the good work!!

But since i am somewhat anonymous here i guess i can say.i am so constipated i dont know what to do. Ive followed this post op liquid diet to a tee and i am miserable. M.O.M is not cutting it. Stool softener not helping. I have a dr appt in city tomorrow fir unrelated prob. Help

I have 5 more days of protein shakes only and i sm starting to feel nauseated everytime i drink one. I just cant stand them anymore. Anyone else having same problem. Banded 10/10

Hi I'm 51 yrs old and I have a bmi of 38 and would like to lose about 70 pounds. I am all done with my pre op classes, tests, meetings ect.. I went on Fri to get a date for my surgery and went from thinking I would have a Lap Band to walking out with a date of Oct 10th to have the Sleeve. I was all for it when I was talking to the surgeon and now I'm scared to death. My family thinks it's crazy. My friends think its' drastic. The surgeon told me that the Sleeve is becoming more popular now than the Band. He said I was a good candidate for it. And now I can't sleep worrying about making the right decision. Am I losing it or is this too drastic. I'm scared of making the wrong decision. What will life be like with so little of a stomach? What about the ulcers I hear about or leaking complications. I know it is a personal decision. But how the heck can I make it not rearlly knowing how it will be. What if it's too hard? These are the question going through my head constantly. Just venting. Hope someone can relate Thankyou P.S. I've been dieting since I was 15 and so tired of being fat. I have made it to goal only 2 times in all the years of dieting and it felt so good. I want that feeling back

Can you all just give me the name of the protein shake you are using and if you like it Please. I am using the EAS Advantage shakes and Muscle Milk Light. Both of these are on my accepted list. I cant stand the thought of another week let alone day drinking these. They r awful! Help

Thank you so much. These shakes are killing me !lol

Ok im still on liquids until monday but good grief did my life really revolve around food like this? All they do is eat and plan on eating and the smells coming up from the kitchen to my room where i can escape. Ughh. This is hard. I dont want to live my life around food anymore !

Oops lost you somehow. I live in Northern NJ. About an hour and a half from NYC. I was banded on 10/10. Still in liquid phase until Monday when i can start "mushies". Its been a little tough. But i see the light at the end of the tunnel! How about you. Where are you at in this journey?

Very good news!!!!!

Congratulations on your up coming surgery. You will find this site very helpful im sure. I know i have .

Went to Walkway Over the Hudson yesterday. Outside if poughkeepsie ny. Its an old train bridge converted to a walking bridge. It was awesome. Beautiful fall colors. And one way across is about a mile i read bikes and dogs are allowed too

Im so glad it doesnt hurt to laugh anymore. You guys are hysterical!!! Laughter is good medicine fir sure!

Banded 10/10. Still on liquids but hopefully mushies next Monday. My granddaughters 1st birthday party next Wed. What can i have and still stay on plan. My dr is strict. No sugar or anything white and low fat too. To make it harder party is at my house! Dinner and cake. Help!

Like colace or something like that? My dr is not in but i need something.

I am 9 days post op and have lost 15 pounds since surgery. I have been shocked every time i step on scale. I need to lose 100 max. Im happy but dont want to lose so fast my skin will be hanging. Prob mostly water but still

Im so not into cooking for my family right now. Im still on liquids for almost 2 more weeks. They were understanding in the beginning. But not so much any more. I feel like really you grown people cant handle this right now? Is it me? I do want to know. Youngest us 17 up to 28
