Opps....tastes great I mean.

I'm using the Whey Protein bullets. I have the fruit punch flavor. I get a Water bottle and mix it with my crystal light, takes great. I use a sippy cup to make sure I get small sips.

Don't worry, the surgery is a piece of cake. I was banded Monday ( Aug. 4th. ) Just make sure you have your liquid vicodin fillled before you get home. The incisions can be a little painful when you get up and down, my vicodin controls that pain. Good Luck on Friday.

Good Luck !! Let us know how you are doing!

:thumbup::biggrin:Hi everyone !! I had my surgery yesterday. All went well, and I am feeling great. NO gas pains for me yet. The only time I am sore is when I get up from laying down, or trying to turn over. I had a little upset stomach last night, so now I am keeping that cream for nausea on my wrist. Had a headache this morning, and still feel groggy. Overall, this surgery is a piece of cake. :thumbup: The great news is I am not hungry at all. Normally this time every morning I am starving. Been sipping out of my grandbabys sippy cup. It works great, allowing me to sip the amount I should and not over sip. Good Luck to everyone that will be banded this month, you're gonna loveeeeeeeee it!!!

Good Morning, I had my surgery Aug 4th. I am confused about something. Last night I drank some vegetable broth, and sipped my water with protein bullet in it. When I got up to go to bed, I got real sick to my stomach and started vomiting. I have no idea how much broth I should take at one time. Will some one help me. Tomorrow I can start eating soup, and yogurt, & applesauce. How much should I eat of it. Also...since my surgery I haven't had a desire to eat. :cry_smile:

S The Sippy Cup that I'm using has a spout. It doesn't leak, so I have to suck it out. very small amount which is great. The cream for nausea was a prescription from the Dr. that and my liquid vicodin. Ask your Dr. its great !! Don't be nervous about surgery, nothing to it !! It's 2:30 pm here, still nothing to eat all day except Isopure, Jello and I'm not hungry at all.

Long that is great...having a band mate! Good Luck on your gall bladder surgery. You're going to be a new woman. I am so lucky and happy to have been approved for my lap band. I love it already...lol Not hungry at all ( for now ) You have done great on losing weight...."Congratulations" I talk to so many people here that I can't remember who has been banded or who is fixing to be. Take care. Pj

Thanks Joann !!

Hi Everyone. I had surgery yesterday. I'm feeling pretty good, mostly just drowsy, and I have a headache. I was given liquid hydrogoden., not liquid tylenol. No gas pains anywhere yet. Only soreness I have is when I try to turn over in bed, or get up from laying down. I am not hungry at all, normally in the mornings I am starving, I was yesterday morning before surgery. I am forcing myself to drink this Isopure. I have had upset tummy, so I keep that medication on my wrist. Good Luck everyone who will be banded today. Pj

Woo Hoo...great news Janet !!

Thanks everyone !! I will get back to you all as soon as I can. Hopefully soon...lol Pj

Thanks Everyone !!! Will let you all know how it goes :biggrin:

Can't we take tylenol pills if we cut them in half?

Thank You !! Yes, I started my pre-op diet July 21st. Lost 12 lbs. I could eat 3 meals a day, 2 of those meals I could substitute Slim Fast Low Carb. So what I did, I had Slim Fast for breakfast and lunch and 4 oz of meat, ( chicken, beef, turkey, not fried ) and veggies. Could have low fat dressing, sugar free jello and popsicles. Couldn't have corn, peas or potatoes. Wasn't hard to do at all. Tonight is Seasoned Talipia Fish from Sams, sure hope I like it since I don't like fish unless it is fried. Someone told me this fish doesn't taste fishy. Getting nervous ... will be back here as soon as I can. Pj

2 months out and taking liquid tylenol for what? pain from the lap band surgery?

Thanks !!!!

Orea, how did your surgery go? Feel good after or was it pretty painful? Welcome back, good to see you again. :teeth_smile:

I have a question. My surgery is tomorrow. If you eat something, slowly and not very much of it, what will cause you to throw it up? When you throw it up is it the same feeling you get when you are sick with a stomach virus, or just food comes back up like if you belch?

weeee...its working now.

Are you allowed to drink Martini's?

When is your surgery date and ticker? I have seen you post alot, have you already had surgery?

My husband is retired Air Force. My blood pressure started getting very high the last part of April. My husband sent for a list of Dr's that take Champus Ins. My first appt. was with Dr Smith May 7th, I got Champus approval on May 14th. The Drs office took care of contacting Ins. and getting it approved. My surgery date is in 2 days ( Aug 4th). I have Champus Standard Ins....not Tricare.

I love the Low Carb Slim Fast Chocolate. Make sure its Low Carb.

I bought the Protein bullets, I like them. I bought the fruit punch flavor, not using them yet, waiting until after Surgery on Monday. My pre-op diet isn't a liquid diet. ( whew ) I can eat 3 meals a day, and I've lost 12 lbs so far since July 21st. Its a Low Carb, High Protein. Hang in there on your diet, it will be worth it.
