Hello Jenny! You are making a great choice that will change your life! I was just banded on the 16th and I couldn't be happier! It's def not easy but it's totally worth it! Keep us posted on your date!:confused_smile:
-
omg you sound just like me! only i am 5'3! Seeing what you look like makes me excited for the next few years! Although I seriously hope I can have the majority of it gone by my bandiversary. What's been the biggest challenge for you?
-
tomorrow just walk walk walk! i was feeling like i had gas and I walked and it was gone within 5 minutes. so i know sitting in the plane and the car was bad for ya! poor thing! how do you feel aside from that?
-
maybe i'm not reading my book right but my surgeon says to drink until full. but i have no clue how much that is? i'm having a difficult time distinguishing between full and hungry! i swear I feel totally normal, like there's no band in there! ok i read my book again, and it says my fluid goal is 48-64 oz per day with 60-80grams of protein a day. My sample menu suggests drinking 8oz of water over 2 hours.

just wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration! your success is great! and you look fabulous!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't be much hellp because I just got banded and haven't had a fill or anything. If you want a friend and an ear I'm here. Hang in there. I'm sure someone will be able to help.

thats strange to me! i had to have 3 shots of heparin a day while i was at the hospital but nothing for blod clots after leaving the hospital. Sorry I can't help you, hope you get an answer!

Tonight I wanted to try something a bit different, rather than just having a protein drink. So I put the vanilla drink in the blender and added 1c ff milk and 3 TBSP Cinnamon plus (from Pampered Chef, basically just has cin, nutmeg, and all spice) and it tastes just like egg nog, without the egg thickness! it's delicious! :cursing:

wahoo! congrats!!! keep up the will power! :cursing: -
sorry that she said that. i'd have told her just you wait. there will always be people that say that this is easy and that we're still lazy but I just can't wait to prove them all wrong!

Hey whats your name? I feel like such a punk cuz I don't know it! sorry! So this J. Minkon guy....never heard of him?! I never got a call from anyone at the hospital. I only talked with people at Dr. Monash's office. But it's great that they are calling you! So I am feeling wonderful! We went to the mall today just to walk around. While we were there I went to Jamba Juice and got a drink and added a shot of protein, it was good and I drank about 1/4 of a small. I haven't really gotten the feeling that I am full yet, but I don't wanna over do it and throw up! So I've been eating cream soups (campbells select-portobello mushroom, and butternut squash, both very yummy!) and I've had broth, jello, pudding, and of course my protein drinks. I still haven't felt naseaus or had gas. I have been sleeping great too! I can't wait for them to do your sleep study! It's getting close! Before you know it you'll be banded!
-
Yeah I am home Amanda! Hang in there!! How fun you got your nails done mimieg! thats a treat for my first mini goal! I have yet to have any gas pains, I have been walking every hour though, unless I'm sleeping! So I think that has helped a ton!
-
I'm feeling great! I've had some cream Soup, lots of Water, and a milk shake. I got a shower today too! Boy its nice to feel human again!! The walking is wonderful! I really think that the more you walk the faster/better you'll heal! I agree with Grey, maybe you should try to take advantage of the not smoking and stick with it! It really does slow down your healing process. But don't get discouraged! I'm sure you'll get it eventually! So when do you get to go home?

Mini Forks, Knives & Spoon Sets
JenniLeen replied to *Love*'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is there an Ikea close to you?? They have the BEST bowls, plates and utensils around. They are perfect portions and they come in a 4 or 5 pack for less than 2 bucks. If there isn't one close to you, maybe a family member has one close to them? They really are the greatest! -
oh yeah forgot to tell you that it only took about an hour to get me through pre-op AND surgery! It went REALLY fast! I was totally expecting to have to wait but it was so fast and smooth too! It was wonderful!
-
Hang in there Amanda! We had our surgeries the same day and I can feel your pain! Although I don't smoke I know alot of people that do and it's tough! Just keep your head up and keep walking! It is great to walk and walk and walk!
-
I can't help but I am interested to know what these shots are for? It's not something I've heard of before. I hope that someone can answer your question!
-
thats so awesome! congrats!!! i'd be going back too! lol!
