I am a grannie, had surgery yesterday, came home same day and today I find I need a mentor

Granny: I would love to go to a meeting. The only support meetings I was aware of, was in Havelock which is too far for me to drive. And I feel I really need that extra support. I had a terrible first week, sick and threwing up all the time. Finally they told me to go the hospital to be evaluated for dehyration, I got an IV and now I am fine since this Monday. The liquids, meds, mushies, everything is staying down. Last week I wont have done this again, this week, is so different:biggrin2:. I lost 15 lbs in a week my general MD said. Please contact me and let me know when the meetings are scheduled. My email is vmallard@ec.rr.com I was so sick this was the first day I felt like even looking at the forum.

How do I email you. my email is vmallard@ec.rr.com and I would love to talk to you. I have having a terrible time. Are the all protein juice smoothie ok on the liquied diet.

Just had lapband yesterday, came home same day. Did great. Today I ate my 12:00 meal of 2 oz of Advantedge with protein. After 30 minutes, I wanted to get that nasty chocolate protein taste out of mouth and decided very unwisely to eat a cherry popsicle. I will never want another cherry popsicle. It hurt, I foamed, and threw up. I called the dr. and they said I shouldnt have eaten a popsicle the day after surgery and that I could throw up this foam for some time. Finally it is ok. I think I over ate and it sure doesnt feel good. It was quite an eye opener.:thumbup:

Hi: yes, my fact sheet said I could eat them, but when I called they said I shouldnt have. I then tried at 3:00 my next meal, threw up until 11:00 last night. I think I was over filling my pouch also. As the last 2 swallows of my the 3:00 meal made me feel very tight. I feel great this morning and I am going to try breakfast very slowly and if I feel fill I am not going to finish the broth. I also think the protein is making me sick. I am using whey protein from GNC, and it makes the shake so thick and nasty. Today I am going to try without the protein first and then work up to it.:frown:

Hi, I am from Jacksonville and had lapband surgery yesterday by Dr. Narizi at ECU in Greenville. Came home the same day.
