    Day 2 - The pain in my shoulder is killing me. I have walked laps around my house, swinging my left arm and beating on my chest trying to get it loose. Help with ideas please

    Got my band yesterday, will be going home soon. Have pain in my left shoulder still trying to walk that out. Drinking plenty of water. Just had a little bit of soup.

    Walked multiple times. My shoulder just feels like I pulled it from the gas, no nausea. My mouth is wicked dry, feel like I can't get enough fluids in me. Glad I have an overnight, because we are getting snowed in here in PA.

    Today is my day. Need to be at the hospital at 7:00, unfortunately due to the weather it is going to take longer to get there. Praying we get to the hospital safe with these snow covered roads.

    Today is my last day on the pre-op diet. I can't even stomach the thought of having a smoothie for breakfast. After drinking them for two weeks as my only meal, I'm done. I can't wait for tomorrow for my new chapter in my life or my new life, Titled, Living the skinny life.

    I would love to have the veggie medley. My diet is three protein shakes a day. My stomach is screaming at the top of it's lungs, FEED ME. Like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors.

    On day 5 of liquid diet. 3 protein shakes a day and a protein bar for snack, plus water. Problem...my bowels haven't moved in since staring this diet and my stomach is starting to hurt. Was thinking of having some smooth move tea tonight. Anyone else in the same predicament?

    I'm on day 4 of three shakes a day. I have learned to drink them slowly. It takes me a half hour to 45 minutes to drink it. When done I wait 15 minutes and drink 12 oz of water. This helps with the hunger pang. Good Luck!

    Your Biggest Critic(s)

    carriekos replied to PrettyThick1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My husband, one of my two sisters and girlfriend of mine knows about my getting the band. I don't need to hear the comments and ridicule from my other sister and my mom. Although, it will be my mom staying with me helping me and the kids while my husband is at work. I have a hiatal hernia that will be fixed during my lap band surgery. That is what my mom thinks this surgery is for.

    I'm on my third day of the liquid diet. I was told by the dietician that I could add sugar free-fat free pudding mix to my smoothie for change of flavor. I add 1tsp of choco pudding mix to mine with ice and what a difference. Add a couple of drops of peppermint extract and Yummy. I have 11 more days until surgery. Good luck.

    Thanks for the tips with the smoothie. I added some sugar free chocolate pudding mix and it takes a lot better.

    My surgery is scheduled for Jan. 21. Started my 2 week liquid diet today. I was told to get the vanilla flavor of Bariatric Advantage smoothie mix and it tastes like YUCK!! I need help with recipes to mix this up. Help!
