    Hey Malteselover, So glad youre with us! I am definitely going to look for that shake place. Where are you from? I am in Bakersfield, California. I dont think there is a shake the weight store here, maybe I can find it online! Take care. Krislyn

    Congratulations Momx5! Seventeen pounds is awesome. I am in the same boat. I have lost 12 since last Wed. and I am still really sore around the port as well. I have to stay on shakes and clear liquids for three weeks! So glad you got to have something like food! Take care. And, I dont even know how to get a ticker on my site! Krislyn

    Thanks Claudine, I was reading few articles and they had the term PB's in them and I thought it had to do with burping. I just wasnt sure. I have been burping, but not because of food- just gas. I am only on shakes and clear liquids still. Thanks again. Krislyn

    Hey All, Just checking in. Happy Birthday, Cutie! Best wishes for a year toward looking and feeling a whole lot better! I am wondering if anyone has heard of PB's and what they are and how to not have them? Krislyn

    Hi soontobehottie, I dont know if you will be able to hang at a place like that all day long-even with skipping some of the more adventurous rides. I have three boys 7, 5, and 2 and a half so I am up and at em all the time. This is my fourth day post-op and I still have gas and incision pain around the port. It is hard to move in certain directions without it causing pain, especially getting up from a laying down position. I dont think your doctor would recommend that kind of activity, either. You might want to talk to your doc. I have been told by my doc not to lift anything over 20 lbs., especially my two year old son! Dad has had to take over with his care. I know the walking will be good, but not all day long. I am supposed to walk three times a day for ten minutes and build up. Also, all the jiggling around and bumping. I know it hurts when I get bumped in the belly by one of the kids. But, I also know everyone is different in their recovery. This is just my experience. Take it easy. Krislyn

    thanks lellow, It is so good to know that it gets better everyday. I am surprised you get to eat food so soon. I cant have food until week four. The first three weeks its shakes and liquids. I cant wait to feel normal again. Did you have the fake birps? Krislyn

    Hey Shelby, Glad your are feeling better so soon-it gives me hope! I have a little more energy, but feeling very sore around the port. I also have this pain (like a birp) that flows up from my stomach, but I dont actually birp. Wonder what that is? Well, I am on shakes and water today, with some SF jello for my meds. I guess I can also have Crystal light, SF popsicles, and SF sorbet. It sounds like there is variation in what is allowed the first week and thereafter. Well, take care August banders! How do I get all that fancy stuff on my profile? Take care. Krislyn

    Hi Shelby, I was banded August 6th, too. I am feeling miserable with the gas, bloating and incision pain. It hurts to cough or pull myself up out of bed or chairs. Hope your are feeling better than that. Krislyn
  11. Hi, I just got banded August 6th and I am miserable with the gas, bloating, and soreness. You said you had a miserable day. I hope this is gone in a couple of days. Was it for you?
  12. Hi, I am so nervous. I will be banded on Aug.6, 2006 at Cedars Sinai. I am afraid it will just be another failed attempt to loose weight. I am also scared about not being able to eat for three weeks and feeling weak and low blood sugar. I have mild or pre-diabetes and take 15 mg. of Actos daily. Sometimes I feel low and have to eat. I dont know. I have had shakes alone and felt low and needed to eat something high in carbs to feel ok. Anyone else?
