Vistied my dietitian team today and was told I'm losing inches. I've been a little depressed the past two days, but will try to have a better tomorrow without thinking too much. My first fill is pending, I cannot wait.

Awesome

I take Flinstones chewable vitamin and Caltrate 600+D Calcium Chewables.

- I don't want to feel invisible anymore. - I want to walk a 5k or more - can walk 12 miles but would like to keep up with others instead of always falling behind. - I want to feel comfortable in my skin - I don't want to cry anymore because I feel ugly and rejected - I want off cpap machine - I'd like to experience real intimacy instead of crying due to lonliness - I'd like to put an end to pseudo-tumor (almost there) - I'd like to know what it feels like to live and be happy. I lost a decade to an illness. Not sure I've ever lived.

I stir about two teaspoons of powedered Benefiber in hot tea or creamed soups every other night. Works for me. Good luck to you.

I am also one week out. Today I also had very little energy, but I think I may have pushed myself too much- a lot of errands and running around trying to play catch-up. I also I forgot to take my second vitamin. I'm not feeling nauseous though. Maybe call your dietitian team/nurse tomorrow if you're still feeling weak. Hopefully you'll feel a little stronger.

Benefiber mixed with hot soup seems to work "for me" as well as sipping a lot of water and walking. Call your doctor/dietitian team.

My surgery was August 28th. I'm feeling a lot better today. Had left side pains up until late afternoon yesterday- glad it's gone! Tomorrow I start "mushy" foods.

Hello to all! So blessed to have found this site as I've sifted through various forums during my pre-op week. I was banded this morning and am now at home resting and drinking/sucking my ice chips and walking around well. I cannot wait until my throat heals from that tube, although, I am grateful the gas pains are finally dissipating. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and that I'm super excited.

Thanks and hello to you all! Sorry for responding so late. I was out of it yesterday, of course, but I slept well. I walked outdoors a little last night and around the block early this morning. I'm releasing a lot of gas today, finally! I'm still a little sore left side under breast, but not as bad. I have a perscription for Phenergan and I think I'll have it filled just to be on the safe side.
