How much time did you take off of work for LBS?
KAATNS replied to meganb0216's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
10 days was plenty for me. -
Protein shake flavorings and recipes?
KAATNS replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
There are tons of protein shake recipes on Pinterest. Some of them look really good. -
Pain- not sure what to think
KAATNS replied to jennygirl37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep, sounds like you ate too fast. It's a hard habit to break! -
I had Lortab elixir and Phenergan, but I only needed Tylenol. I had a really easy recovery though.

It does get better! Hang in there and congrats.

is anyone else freezing in the pre-op stage?
KAATNS replied to dolphintattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have literally gone from being hot all the time to freezing all the time. My thermostat is so confused. -
My follow-up appointments are covered under my FMLA, as my doctor said I would need them following surgery which was for a serious health condition (morbid obesity). I would talk to your HR department. Good luck!

How do you feel 5 days after surgery?
KAATNS replied to Hope2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on the 11th also and I'm still swollen and have some pain at the port site. -
I've had this problem with all the protein shakes I've tried.
-
Hi Leslie! I was also banded on 1/11 and have finally started to feel hungry today. I'm finding it hard to finish my shakes or drink enough water, but I'm trying hard. I wish you well in your journey! Keep in touch.

Hi all, I'm scheduled for surgery on January 11th. Three more days till I start my liquid diet. Best wishes!

Good luck tomorrow Kathleen!

January 2013 Bandsters Unite
KAATNS replied to Onamissionn2013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my surgery yesterday and I'm still in a lot of pain. They did really well keeping me from getting sick- they had me smelling peppermint oil and put some kind of accupuncture bracelet on me. It was really different, but it worked. No post-op vomiting at all. Now if I could get rid of the gas pain! -
pre op diet how hard was it?
KAATNS replied to ErinSue2000's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is my last day of the pre-op diet and it's been hard! The first 2 days were the worst, but it was a constant battle for me. Being hungry all the time really does mess with your mind, but it is do-able. My surgery is in the morning and I'm scared and nervous at the same time. -
Protein Shake Reccomendations
KAATNS replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pure Protein has really good chocolate shakes and I like the GNC Total Lean Vanilla Bean. -
Please recommend protein shake brand
KAATNS replied to mbmoore2518's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like GNC Total Lean Vanilla Bean. They are ready to drink and they have been giving me a discount when I buy a case or two. -
It's hard. Very hard. I'm on Day 7 and the first 3 days were the worst for me. It does get better, but I have been hungry for a week. Imodium has been my friend too.

My surgery is on Jan. 11th and I'm on day 5 of my pre-op diet. I've been losing one pound per day and it feels good! I'm so ready for the 11th. Good luck all. -

KAATNS replied to cole&matt'smom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day one I wanted to chew my arm off, but it does get better. I'm on day 5 now. Good luck!
