TrailsNurse, Trick I found was to mix my designer whey protein powder in sugar free pudding. It is a small amount and goes down smoothe. good luck!

One Day at a time. My surgeon was JK Champion. Do you plan to go to the support group at Northside? I will be going in August. How are you doing with your food? I seem to be ok. The Realize website is really nice. I diary everything I eat. Did you doctor do the Realize band with you?

Looking for someone banded on the 14th July 2008
lasthope replied to tkelsey's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Tkelsey, Hello and congrats on this big step. I was banded on July 1, 2008. I'm in my third week and eating softer food and staying under 1200 calories a day. My first band fill will be August 14. How you feeling? the gas pain can be terrible... oh and sneezing. Sneeze with your mouth open. I thought I popped my belly button. Hope to hear from you. Lasthope, Atlanta GA. -
just baned on July1. Hope you are feeling well... I'm doing fine.

AtlSpeedy, how are you doing... hope all is well. trying to connect with locals so we can support each other. Where did you have you surgery? Mine was Northside on July 1, 2008

Hi, 1 day at a time, Wow... Mine was at Northside to. That would be funny if you were in room 402. Aren't the nurses awesome at Northside. Aside from the IV site pain. I was very pleased. Gainesville... I'm in Atlanta. Not to far away. How are you feeling? I'm interested in hooking up with locals so we can support each other. :wink:Take care, hope to talk with you soon, Lasthope.

Quick question for everybody

dolly lala, that is so cute. I asked my doctor that very question prior to my surgery. expect no low energy the first week. Second week, it is better. Try putting your protien powder in sugar free pudding cup. You will only feel like eating a couple of ounces the first two days. good luck -

Alex,
I found your messages very helpful this week. I was banded on July 1. so far so good. bit of pain at the port site. My physicians practice is largely RnY and I'm his only bandie right now. I'm glad I found this site. I'm headed back to work next week. Any suggestions?

hello all, Just posting for the first time. My surgery was July 1 in Atlanta. Dr JK Champion is my surgeon. All in all everything is going well. Getting ready to go back to work next week. Welcome any suggestions. Look forward to talking with you.

Mrs J.J. Hi. Looks like we were banded on the same day. Congrats. Are you getting ready to go back to work next week? If so, what is your plan? I go back Wednesday, but am considering working from home. Just to ease back in. Also, do you find you can sleep on your left and right side? I woke up last night in a bit of pain. tks, lasthope -

that is so funny... I thought the same thing. That was all I wanted to drink while in the hospital. The day I was discharged the dietician came in an asked me what I was drinking. She GASPED! and said 'oh no that has to much sugar ... you can't drink that' She came back later and said my doctor allowed the regular apple juice and not to worry. I was not worried... it tasted so good.
