  4. Hey Sue!

     

    Thanks for the update! I know that you are a very smart and intellgent woman and know that you have gone through both options with a fine tooth combe and made the right decsion for you. Even though we may not be getting the same type of surgery we still both would of had weight loss surgery. Im happy to hear that you will still be sticking around on the site (actually i think there is a section on the forum now for people who have other types of WLS).

     

    Speaking of needles i just put a vlog up showing everyone my heparin needle lol lol Couldnt help myself!! lol lol It feels so wierd injecting myself in teh mornings. I normally put them in my stomach, but i did this one in my thigh today and it felt ok.

     

    Awww say hello to your hubby for me to!!! When i come to the states next yr, im gonna come round and pay you a visit!! And you gotta cook me some SOUL FOOD!! lol my sis goes on about it so much when she goes to the states....i wanna have me some (lol)

     

    I wish you all teh best hun! and please do stay in touch!!

     

    Did they give you a date for the RNY?

     

    Stay blessed !

     

    Love Harriet aka gg xxxxxx

  5. Hey!

    Dont worry about it hun....! I know what its like, to want to get everything in place so you have nothing to worry about when you get back. Like you i replaced one of my shakes with a low protein meal, and did very well. 5lbs in two days is great hun!! Gives you that boost to keep at it! If i only i lost 5lbs in 2 days eating normal foods i wouldnt need the band!! lol lol

     

    Im doing really well hun, i stoped feeling pain i think from about day 3/4 and its was more disconfort when i moved or twisted and forgot about the port. Lol

     

    Im on day 6 now and doing really well....getting up and moving around doesnt hurt...but i can still feel the port and know that its there. I will be back to wrk on monday...am half looking forward to it because being at home all day isnt really my thing, but im glad of teh rest and not to have teh pressure of work.

     

    Keep up your hard work with the diet, and i wish you all the best with your banding and a speedy recovery. Let me know how you get on xxxx

    What is your surgery date? Let's keep a list.

    lol! You should have that not want to eat feeling for a lil longer...so enjoy!! lol lol but like i said although i feel hungry...as soon as i drink it goes.... and i dont start feeling hungry till about 4/5 hours later! I am being naughty and not drinking as much as i should do~! i think its because i get full so quickly and dont want to force it! Also having some bother with this burping thing...i wantto burp but it doesnt quite come out...just this sharpe pain in my chest. But walking does help it all come out! You so lucky you had no gas pains!!! I think i would of prefer the port pain to the gas pain...it was just that constant dull ache that bothered me! Thats really good that you have ur pain meds going dircetly to the port! If the pouch does become empty you have soluable meds on standby? Im sure you do...i just used parcetamol and they worked fine for me. Get well soon hun, sound like u doing fab!! xxxx

  15. gg2007BandSTAR

    Really starting to worry

    try not to worry..i know easier said than done. if you want to shrink the liver its best to follow doctors orders. For me although i did a pre op diet...i didn't have to do one. It was my choice....i wanted my liver to be in the best shape and to reduce in size so that surgery was made easier and so that i had less time under anesthetic. there was another woman in with me having teh op and she didnt do a pre op diet watso ever but still had the surgery done. as long as u stick to your pre op diets it will be fine....for me i was on 3 Protein shakes a day...but i was finding that i was getting hungry so i swapped one of the Protein Shakes for a lean protein meal. which included skinned chicken and some leafy green veg. and it worked very well for me. but again stick to what ur docs have said xxxx
