Thaks for the above, that helped me out. Had mine done on Wed morning and having a problem w/ the gas. Scared to try and "get rid of it" due to I can feel the band inside me moving when I try. Just keep burping and am thankful when it's a good burp to release some pressure. Been eating hella tums though. p.s. the pain medication is the best

Thanks Vickie, I knew ya'll where out there. Definetly 420 friendly. Did you try right after surgery?

Thank you faith. How can you go wrong w/ someting that grows from the earth and is not man made? Neveragain, that post was for people out there wondering the same thing I was. Just trying to help them out and not have to ask the question they have been wondering about. This place answered it for me, so hopefully I answered for someone else as well.

Yes thank you millions and millions of Stern fans. Together we will bring American Idol to it's knees. Remember to vote for Sanjay, no matter what!!

Everyone vote for Sanjaya. The Howard army demands it. The show is starting to suck and what better way to end it w/ Sanjay being the winner. Everyone remember to listen to Howard 100 for more details.

I can't speak for Gastric, but it is cool. you will be ok. I got the Big Boy Lap Band this morning and im up and about. Chatting it up. I don't think they will want to scare you at a seminar. It should be cool. I was fortunate enough not to have to do a seminar. NICE !!

Ok guys and gals, all this food talk. My surgery went fine, no problems. I did eat applesauce and Popsicles w/ sugar, pudding and even 2 days before my surgery I ate 1 tortilla. So people out there struggling w/ that pre Diet, it will be ok if you have a sugar popsicle or regular pudding. Now don't go and get buck wild, but if you can't stand the lowfat stuff and have been good. TREAT YOURSELF, DON'T CHEAT YOURSELF !!! from somewhere in TEXAS, Sippin dat Siz-urp!

Hell yeah, I like the above answer. That's what im talking about. Thanks! Went to see 300 tonight as the family ate dinner. If anyone hasn't seen it yet. It's BAD ASS !!!!

Don't worry, I get mine tomorrow night as well. Doc said I should be out by noon, so dosen't sound like a hard surgery. Told me some people go to work the next day, so should be smooth sailing. Mabye some pain, but I would not worry about staying over night and stuff. Im just ready to eat some cream of anything. Tired of this diet. Ready to catch some Reading Rainbow on tv. Old School Style!

I went to an On the Border tonight to eat some chicken tortilla soup broth. I was good when the chips came out and didn't eat any. And then the soup came and I ate up some liquid real quick. Asked for more broth and ate it up real quick also. Now I was pouring the liquid in the bowl w/ the food to get the flavor and they had these tortilla strips on top of the soup. I ate just one and another and before you knew it I had eaten all the little strips. So my surgery is on Wed. I see the Dr tomorrow and I ate the equivilant of about 1 whole corn tortilla. So don't feel bad, man it's damn hard. Im kinda worried also, but im sure it will be ok.

See I don't know. I know a lady that her Dr isn't telling her to quit anything. Another lady at my job did not follow instructions and just quit eating anything 1 day prior to her surgery and she hasn't looked back since. So I don't know what to think. Watch out cause this place will start to tweak you out the more you read. Im glad I didn't read this stuff before I had it all set up.

Thanks again, got another question. What is the pre diet for? It really sucks. Would it be ok if I like ate ramen noodle juice, but maybe had like a quarter of the pack of noodles? Popsicles are good and juice is good, but im really wanting something I can chew.

thanks ya'll. Didn't think anyone would answer this type of question.
