    I have problems with bread products. Tortilla's are not my friend. I also love the bread basket that comes around when I eat out. But, I have to be very careful, eat tiny bites and eat slow in order to not be sick. Steak and roast don't usually sit well with me. I get the intense pain in my chest and back that makes me want to pass out. Most times I get sick - I should learn by now the foods that are a problem and avoid them at all cost. I've tried donuts and they are not worth it in my book, I just avoid them. I still love the foods I love, I'm hard headed I guess.

    With anything new, it will be different. Don't expect it to be like being with your ex and just enjoy the experience and have fun.

    Sex

    Texasgirl1966 replied to MSMAURANY's topic in The Gals' Room

    For me we waited about 9 days after surgery. We did it standing up in the shower. I got him all worked up and then we did a modified doggy style, and it didn't cause me any pain . The next time we were lying down at less than 2 weeks and I had a BIG O and that was painful. I was sore for a while afterwords. Everyone is different, but the main thing is to take it easy the first few times and give yourself time to heal.

    constipation since band

    Texasgirl1966 replied to sheemac32's topic in The Gals' Room

    I am so glad to find this thread. I had my lap band surgery on November 18th, and immediately had the runs, now that problem is fixed I continue to be constipated. I was just about to the point of calling the Dr's office if I couldn't find some info about fixing this problem. Thanks for all your help, I'm going to try the miralax, colace or MOM this evening.

    How are things going for you since surgery? I am doing well, I went for my 2 week follow up appointment today and everything looks good. Begin mushy foods today too. Keep me posted on your progress.

    How's it going? Just thought I would check in and see how you are doing? I am doing well, sometimes I am a little sore on my left side but getting around good. I went for my 2 week check up today and changed to the "mushy" food stage. Hope everything is going well for you.

    Texasgirl1966 replied to ~MyNewLife~'s topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    I am 3 days post surgery and am doing pretty well. My stomach is sore and I have gas but it is tolerable. Rest when you can and walk, walk, walk and it does help. I am still getting help getting in and out of the bed but otherwise I am getting around pretty well. Each day is a little better. As far as being hungry - no, I am not. I have to take in 50 grams of protein a day and all the liquids I can handle and that's hard to do, I just don't have an appitite. Good luck on your surgery.

    I just got home from the hospital . I had surgery on Tuesday morning. The surgeon discovered a hiatial hernia during surgery that I didn't know I had and had to repair it also. So surgery took longer than expected. I'm doing good but real sore. The worst part of the entire experience was having the upper GI procedure to check for leaks in the hernia repair and to make sure the band was working, it tasted so bad and I was so close to getting sick, I survived the 1 and 1/2 hour drive and so glad to be home. Good luck to everyone else who was recently banded.

    7am tomorrow (Nov. 18th) I will be in surgery for my band:smile2:. I agree I am excited, anxious and a little nervous. Good luck to everyone else getting banded this week!

    I am down 10 + lbs and my surgery is tomorrow! 21 hours and counting. I am excited and nervous. Good luck to all the other November bandsters.

    what if you're on your period during surgery?

    Texasgirl1966 replied to plh2u's topic in The Gals' Room

    I was wondering about what they would do. I had 2 periods last month :thumbdown:so I really don't know when I'll have my period this month. I'll just bring supplies with me just in case. Thanks for the input everyone.

    Hey bluebird29, I am in Texas and I am also in the HR field. I will be banded on 11/18/08. Keep me posted on your progress.

    I met with the surgeon, dietition and did all the pre-admit stuff yesterday. Surgery is in less than 4 days! I am so excited and nervous too. I have been doing 2 protein drinks a day with one lean cuisine type meal a day. The dietition said I can have 2 lean cuisine meals a day if I like, and have an additional protein drink if I choose. WOW, I'm so excited that I can have a small piece of chicken and green vegetables twice a day up until the day before surgery. Isn't it strange how every pre-op diet is different and every dietition has different rules to go by. Good luck to all on the pre-op diet.
  16. Texasgirl1966
    I'm just curious, I'm on my pre-operation liquid protein diet, with 1 small high protein meal. I was wondering how many calories you consume in a day. I have been averaging about 600 to 750 calories a day. Is this average, low or high?

    Texasgirl1966 replied to losingjusme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I'm staying on plan today because surgery is less than 6 days away and I want to have a skinny liver!
  18. Texasgirl1966

    How many calories are you having a day?

    Texasgirl1966 replied to Texasgirl1966's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was wondering if I needed to increase my calories, I've only lost about 5 lbs since I started on protein drinks a week ago today.
  19. Texasgirl1966
    Yes, as a matter of fact. I am sticking to the liquid diet. I have been on it for 7 days and it is not easy, but it is possible with lots of determination:thumbup:. I want my surgery to be a success and I definitely don't want to have a "fatty liver" and have my surgery postponed. My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 18th at 7:00am. Good luck to you.

    First visit with surgeon.

    Texasgirl1966 replied to Policeman116's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My first visit to meet my surgeon I was also scheduled to meet with a dietition, nurse and financial agent all in the same building. The surgeon just asked what surgery I was interested in and why. He asked me some health questions and then he went over what the band was about and how it worked. It was an informative visit but I didn't ask any involved questions that day. I just wanted to meet the surgeon and his staff and find out more about how he performs the procedure. He was very personable and answered all my questions that I had. Mainly just go in and answer their questions and listen to what they have to tell you. Pretty informal in my case.
