Who's Getting Banded in August???

This is a great website and has truly helped me with my whole experience! -
I know how funny is that! I'm going to go when you go. Did you make your appointment yet? Let's call right after each other to make sure we get the same day! I'm still up 4 lbs from when we went in I know it's gas!LOL How about you?

I have bruising too, they are starting to go away now though. -
OMG! How scary! That's good to keep positive attitude because it's going to help you heal faster! Gosh you take care of yourself and make sure your getting your protein in. Truly does make you feel better!
I would say the whole gas thing is definitely my biggest issue, it's hanging around my back and stomach...but, I've been able to deal with it ok. I now I'm tripping most on the fact that I'm going to be 36 tomorrow!!! How scary is that????
-
Gosh Shamrock! That bites!! I'm glad your doing better now. I started dry heaving right before I left the hospital and so they keep me there longer to make sure I keep my protein down. It scared the heck out of me! That makes me feel better that I'm not the only one retaining water (gas), my stomach still feels really bloated! But, I'm not really in any pain, just if I try to get up wrong. I sure am tired though!
-
Are any of you retaining water, since you've been banded?
-
Ok my friend. How are you doing? Are you still feeling restriction? Is it everything you thought it would be?(:
-
Hey, Everyone! Well I'm off the meds and feeling much better. I can just feel the gas in my stomach but, it never did you to my neck or shoulders thank God! I was drinking the slimfast high protein shakes which only have 15 grams of protein in them and the taste is nothing to write about! Well, yesterday morning I was going threw my pantry and got my whey protein powder out and I was so happy it's not expired, because I bought it a while ago. ANYWHO my doctor said I can put a half banana in my shakes so, I have to say I'm totally enjoying my shakes now, they taste great! And they have 24 grams of protein instead of only 15! I just thought I would share(:

Hi Jenbug, I left you a message on your home page!(: Good luck all you Monday bandsters! I've been a little out of it this week, I hope everyone who's been banded so far is doing great! -
Hi Jenbug,
Thanks so much for your sweet comment on the tread! For some reasons I missed it yesterday. Take a look at my blog, I put my experience on there!
The best advice that I can give is take it easy on the meds! Man those messed me up!
I wish you the best of luck on Monday! How exciting!!! Don't be nervous because your going to do great! Let me know how it goes(:
-
Thanks I'm so glad it's over with too! I didn't get the morphine either because I vomitd on that after I had one of my baby boys (I couldn't remember which one!).
-
They said I can Advil. I stopped taking the pain meds, so I'm doing alot better. I'm not to worry about being up, the way I go from here is down right? I HOPE!!!!! Keep up the good work everyone! I can't wait to see your number next friday. I'm hoping for a steady 2 lbs a week, believe me I'll take more! But, my goal is to lose 104 lbs the first year, and 35 - 40 during the second.
-
Hi! I've been on here but for short periods at a time. I quit taking the pain meds because it was giving me migraine's so I'm just dealing with the pain on my own. It's not to bad. How are you doing?

Thanks so much for the good wishes! Everything now is going pretty darn good, as long as I don't get other headache!:frown: -
Well, this morning I woke up and just about had a heart-attack! Aunt Flo came to see me 4 days early! How dare she do that to me!LOL But, then again that's my luck. Oh well what can I do about it right? Anywho I've done really well since I got back from my vacation and I have managed to lose 8 lbs this week, I'm so happy and I'm so ready to make that number move up! I just got done taking my official before pictures. I took two sets, one with my last outfit I wore not being banded. The other I took in my OLD workout shirt (I love this shirt....I wore it before I got pregnant with my last baby) and a pair of shorts that fit me two years ago, Man I had to force those babies on! I just want to see them go from being super tight on me, to super lose! I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight because of my butterflies as well as my darn cramps!LOL The next time I write it well be from the other side!

Well it's almost 3 in the morning so I guess I'm 3 days post op now. My surgery went really well. It was funny because I read how everyone says their not hungry after surgery for a few days. Well here's me in the recovery room and the first words out of my mouth are "I'm hungry!"LOL I think what I was really feeling was gas pains! My roomie was a girl (Surgery4Me) I meant on here in the August forums, that was so awesome because I totally felt that I had know her for awhile! As far as how I'm feeling. I'm feeling pretty good. I have the same gas issue's everyone has but, it's not to bad. I have stopped taken my pain meds as for they were giving me migraine's! Most of my day today and yesterday were in bed because of it. That part has been awful! It even caused me to do some scary dry heaves when I was in the hospital. I was supposed to get of there on Thursday at 11:00 but, I was not aloud to leave until after 12:30 because I had to make sure I could keep my protein down. I have not lost any weight yet I have actually gain about 4 lbs my body is holding on to the liquids and I can still feel the swelling in my stomach as well as the gas! So I'm not too worried about it yet. It's going to come off! My Doctor did a great job with his incisions...I don't think I'm going to have bad scars at all! I'm so happy about that!!:frown: Well, I'm going back to bed. I will write more later.

Thanks Roheryn, I'm doing ok right now. It's really the headache's that have given me the most trouble! I think I'm going to stop taking the meds.
-
Thanks Claudine, I've been good as far as the surgery stuff goes. It's the migraine's I've gotten the last two days that's kicking my butt! How are you doing?
