They haven't said anything about calcium yet. But I'm taking a Multivitamin. I get about all of my Protein from Protein shakes made with milk, and had a cheese and egg sloppy omelet for lunch today. Was good. dinner is mashed potatoes, tomatoes with stewed chicken. I'm measuring out my needed half a cup of chicken for my puree. Then I'm putting it all in the blender (with extra fluid) and gonna puree it. I'm looking forward to some real tasting food. i woke up this morning with a fever. Not a high one, just 99.9 F but I gotta watch. I have had a cold now for a couple days, but it's getting worse, and to top it off my port is getting slightly sore. It hasn't been. So I'm watching for any other signs of infection. Did you all get dermabond (glued)? Mine has pealed off, and I even lost one of the scabs. Teri

Well I wanted to wish you good luck, and a very fast recovery. If I miss someone please let me know. GOOD LUCK: Debbie (debbieperez55), Icjackson and angie324 We're thinking of you and praying for you. Teri

You've been a member, but now a full member with all the benefits :smile: We're proud of you! You didn't give up. Praying for you all. Teri

Have a safe flight home today. teri

That is super sweet. Yes my sister is putting down the band> Because you don't loose as fast as the RNY. I put it on slowly, it should come off slowly. But I also get the added benefit of a wonderful team I have to go see rather often. For a while every two weeks. She had maybe 3 follow ups with her surgeon, then was changed to once a year for Vitamin level checks. That lasted I think 2 yrs, and then she quit going. Which I think was part of her gaining. I went to bed sneezing last night. I'm full blown sick today, and in fact have a small fever, so I'll call my surgeon's office or pcp this morning. Teri

What catagory do scrammbled eggs fall into? Are they mushies? Or solids? Teri

How are you feeling? Updates people :cry_smile: Just kidding. I'm starting to feel more normal now. Teri

My surgeon still does about 50/50. More people are choosing the band though. I'm trying to talk my sister into the band, instead of putting it down. :cry_smile: Teri

I'm considered diabetic, so I am pretty well stuck sugar free at the moment. The time will come when I can use real sugar and not freak about it. I agree, in that I worry what these chemicals are doing to my body. You know that's one of those things that I for one so appreciate you being around for Janine... You've btdt. You know what to expect. I thought about the RNY too, but because I watched my sister going thru loosing massive (330> 89 pounds ) then gaining about 2/3rd of it back, and still gaining. And because of the whole dumping syndrome. Nope no thanks. Besides there are people I want to think I did this on my own. There are a lot of people that don't know. None of their business. Hugs all teri

First my surgeon said to use the pain meds for both, sleep and pain. Second, I was lucky and was able to lay nearly flat the first night, and flat the second night, and already can sleep on my tummY (where I'm most comfortable). Third, Christine, whoever told you it makes you gasy is WRONG! Been on pain meds for YEARS! Constipated YES! yup, it sure does. But if you're taking one dose a day it's not gonna be a huge issue. Becky, you do what you have to to get some sleep. Because being overtired will lead to making poor food/drink choices. Hugs teri

I slept well, But that's my personality. Have you tried going for a long walk before you attempt to go to bed. (long for such a short period post op) It really helped me to walk up and down the hallway about 10 to 15 times. Course it took me that many trips to get Water and meds, and kids settled. LOL teri

I can have them tomrrow for Breakfast then :rolleyes2: WHOO HOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Celebratory dance ) teri

I was not weighed that morning, but I weighed myself at home. I only gained 3 pounds, but lost it in 24 hours. My iv was a bad one, and couldn't handle fast fluids, so they had to go slowly :rolleyes2: There are benefits to having poor veins. The sleeping meds usually hurt, but not last week. :girl_hug: I'm at the point where my port is starting to bug me, but that's it. Not so much that I'm hungry, but i am starting to daydream about "healthy" foods. Eggs, chicken, etc. Not chocolate. I'm ready to give that up for a while. The only protein that I like is chocolate. I had "Hot" chocolate protein shake this morning for breakfast. I don't like what I can have yet for breakfast. Teri

You know Janine, I started out day of surgery at 240. And am also 5'4 1/4 inches tall. So we're pretty close height/weight starting out (this time around). That's cool :rolleyes2: This morning, I'm down to 231.4 pounds. I weigh in twice a week now. Saturdays and wednesdays. Teri teri

You've got the chat master here.... growing up, I was known as the "chatterbox". LOL Don't ya'll have to do the whole sugar free puddings, sugar free Jello, sugar free Protein? Man there have been a couple things I've had to add my little sugar free sugar packets to. LOL Not sweet enough. I thought about trying a soft boiled egg, as I know I can have that now, but the idea of eating a half cooked egg, freaks me out. Teri

I don't wanna sound negative, because I'm not. Part of me hopes I become a sexy mama, but that's not why I did the band. I went bandster because I wanted to get my diabetes under control. I did it because my back couldn't tolerate my weight any longer. I did it because I wanted to feel good in my own skin. The amazing thing is, not even a week post op, Most of those have happened. My diabetes is so well controlled I had a hypoglycemic event yesterday. I'm off meds. I feel better about who I am. And actually feel prettier. My face already shows a difference. But would I love to look sexy? Yea! I'm not stupid. But I'm not gonna kill myself for it. And I'm not gonna feel bad if I don't look sexy when all is said and done. Teri

My surgeon allowed me to drive last friday. I'm having a horrible time with cold liquids this morning. Not that they get stuck or anything, but then my stomach aches. Like I have a big old hole in it. I got my first fill date in the mail on Saturday. It's October 29th. Not soon enough for me. I think that's the next thing I'm gonna freak out about. I'll move to mushies tomorrow, but oh am I tempted to bump it up a day! I'm actually starting to feel hungry at times. If I stick to the recommended schedule of eating at 7:00-7:30 am, 12:30- 2:00, and again at 6:30-7:00 I don't get hungry. But it's difficult some days. I thought of moving everything an hour ahead but haven't dared yet. Our usual dinner time is 5:30- 6 pm. Breakfast used to be 6:30-7 am. So that doesn't fit with my new schedule. So the boys are going thru changes. Ok those that have information, when can we eat a scrammbled egg? I'm so day dreaming of one at this point, and funny thing is I don't like them. teri

I get mashed potatoes consistancy as of Tuesday... I so can't wait! OH with gravy or something to thin it. teri

Clear liquids suck. Thankfully that was only for me the day of my surgery. The next morning I could have anything I can suck thru a straw, minus the straw. Teri

Welcome to the group AmanadaC. I am a full time mom, so I'm back to work. It's hard being able to do everything with the achey's. I think I still have some gas, as I'm often Um... passing it. My tummy is somewhat swollen. Not nearly as bad as it was, as just two days ago, I looked quite pregnant. Not even a possibility. I too wore jeans yesterday, and couldn't wait to get home and back in my sweats. :embaressed_smile: I'm going to church this morning. This will be interesting. I have twin 2 yr olds, and usually hold one thru the service, so people will know that something is up. I'll probably sit there with one on my lap. I go to mushies tuesday. I'm quite excited, and yet quite nervous. I found this nasty tasting but strawberry sugar free Protein, pre made. I only bought two, glad that I did, as it's really nasty tasting. But high protein. It had 35 gm. I read some where that more than 25 per serving couldn't be digested, but that's even more than I'm getting in my Protein drinks, and I'm so tired of chocolate and french vanilla. I made goal with protein yesterday, but not with Water. It almost feels like it's one or the other. teri

I thought I was doing pretty good with Protein and stuff, but I'm not doing so good with that. I miscalculated. OOPS> teri
