I am so happy I found this thread! Just earlier today I was having sharp pains in my left should and in my chest! It hurt to breathe! It was weird because as long as I was sitting down, the pain wasn't there! This sounds kinda common on here! I was thinking that it was residual gas pains from surgery, but I had my surgery on the 1st... so I thought I was having a freakin heart attack lol! I feel better now though... hopefully it doesn't come back, I'm thinking I may have overdone it a little today and that may have caused the flare-up

I think you can have meat from pot roast... as long as the meat that you are eating is VERY moist. Also, I know you can have tuna or chicken with mayo. I start my mushies next Tuesday and I am counting down the days!!!:thumbup:

Hello, I just got my band on July 1st! I feel ok now, but it is very uncomfortable to bend over or pick anything up that's too heavy (which is a lot right now lol!). Other than that I feel like I am doing good... I am on the clear liquid diet, which is also ok--I don't feel starved or anything. I also have to say that I went to Juarez, MX for my band, and I think it was great! the hospital was really nice.. and the nurses and doctors where great! better than I've ever had here! The nurse even got my IV in with just one try! That never happens when I get my IV done here at home! I don't even have a bruise from the IV! .... sorry I just think it's awesome. Well, hopefully I'll find some of the people on here that had their surgery the same day as me in Mexico!:thumbup:

thanks for the tip! I had no idea that could really happen! I just know that it felt that way! I've been avoiding bending as much as possible... I'll bend at my knees first! plus my hubby has been with me, so he's had some extra picking up to do lol!:thumbup:

I'm getting banded on July 1st in Juarez, Mexico by Dr. Rod...... less than a week!!

I don't have my band yet, but it sounds like to me that you may need more fills... I know my friend can't eat more than like one to one and a half pieces of pizza at a time and she gets STUFFED! I think if you can eat a "few" pieces of pizza and beer (that's not supposed to be on the diet either due to the carbonation!) that you may not have enough restriction... hope that helps

Congrats! I am going on July 1st to Dr. Rod as well! I hope I have as great of a success as you!:biggrin:

:thumbup: Is anybody scheduled to go to Juarez, Mexico with Dr. Rod on July 1st? If so you can PM me so that maybe we can support one another when we get there!!

you mentioned that your friend had surgery with dr. rod? did hers go perfectly well? i was just really starting to think about "what if something else went wrong?" I am really scrounging up the change to get this procedure done, did your friend make sure she had extra money incase of something else needing to be done? I dont want to be stuck in mexico because I cant pay!! lol ...seriously though

I was just curious, what is "PBing"?
