Thanks!

Anyone else have this issue? Didn't happen right away, but the last few days (I'm three weeks post OP) it has been happening when i twist, and sometimes just randomly. Trying to keep in a straight position, but every so often it "bites". No heat or redness, but just don't like the pulling feeling.

I have fibro. I saw the info from the manufacturer literature, but the surgeon and my rheumatologist did not see any reason it should keep me from being banded. Right now, three weeks out of surgery I feel better than I have in a while. We will see down the road of flares are worse or better.

Capsules are designed to melt at body temp, so those should not be an issue. I tried crushing one of my meds, and it was so bitter that nothing masked the taste. I had to just cut it into smaller pieces to get it down.

I was on depo, and it totally screwed up my system. There were only a handful of days that i DIDN'T have my period during the year i was on it. My skin broke out, gained weight, ruined my thyroid, among other issues. I've never heard of anyone with a good experience on it, although not all were as extreme as my issues.

I was banded on a Friday and back to work on Monday. I do have a desk job. The only issue i had was my chair not giving me the support i needed since i really could not use my core muscles to sit up the right way. That only lasted a couple days.

I like Unjury. The unflavored gives you the option to put it in almost anything.

I was banded on the 2nd... I had the same issue with the potty until today. It will get better, but maybe get something to "move it along". This is a huge life change, so give yourself time to adjust physically and emotionally.

I like PB2, powdered peanut butter. It is less calories and fat, same taste. You can get it online, Amazon, whole foods and some specialty outlets.

I was banded last Friday. Welcome!

Heating pad seems to be helping some, and it is starting to subside.

I was banded one week ago, and last night i was jolted awake by a sharp pain in my left rib cage. I thought it may just be gas, but gasx didn't help, and walking has not helped. It is sharp every time i breathe deep. I called the surgical facility, and they just said to take pain meds Anne more gasx... But i just don't think it is gas. Anyone else have something like this pop up?

I found if I hunch my shoulders I can sometimes get a small bubble of a burp, which does help.

I am 5 days out, and have the same thing. It is getting better each day. I feel best in the morning, but as i drink thru the day, i get waterlogged and feel like I'm stuffed constantly. In trying to work with my schedule and change how I'm drinking and when.

Swansons now has flavor infused broth... I bought the Mexican tortilla flavor, and it was awesome! All the flavors of tortilla soup without any chucks! It was so delicious, and has a great spice kick. I can wait to actually cook some chicken in it when I get to solids. They also have a Chinese hot and sour flavor, and one other, but I don't remember what it was.
