What was the afternoon of your surgery like?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to dolphintattoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think your kids will do just fine coming to see you! I came out of the anesthesia at 2pm and did nit go back to sleep until after midnight. Then I was up all night walking around to expel gas. You'll be fine! -

1000 calories a day and 64 ozs gets the weight loss going for me along with daily exercise! -
Which foods to avoid for new bands
SkinnyCubanChick replied to Sav22age's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The only things I get "stuck" with is peels, rice, and seeds. Rice is bad for brand new bands. Maybe later. I was told that just as I could never more drink carbonated drinks, i should never ever eat popcorn! Also, be careful with stringy foods! -
My doctor says 1/2 cup protein first. i do it! Don't want to stretch out the baby stomach!

December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
SkinnyCubanChick replied to LadyLeigh2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Banded on 12/14 and same here. Weight loss stopped but losing inches. The more water you can drink the better! Flush those inches off! -
Remember that muscle weighs more than fat! You are taking in protein and exercising which builds muscle as the fat is pushed out! Don't worry much about weight right now and try on some clothes and you'll see the difference! Plus in my case, people can see what I can't!!

Stomach puffy under large incision?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to TiffanyK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
To me this is normal. I was banded on 12/14 and just this week the swelling on the port incision is subsiding. O have a small bump right under the port incision and it's still a bit sore but nothing to worry about! -

In Need Of Dec. 14 Banding Buddies!
SkinnyCubanChick replied to SkinnyCubanChick's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
How are you feeling? We were banded on the same day and I am still sore, still cannot wear anything on my waist because i'm bloated. I did start mushies today! I had egg salad (puree), som Philly chives and onion cream cheese and three or four tiny non fat/ no salt potato chips! So far so good! My port is just always so sore! Sorry to complain, I'm just a big wuss!
