    ok, thanks. there is a 'vitamin shoppe' close by. i'll have to check it out. i also bought some cookies & cream whey powder from drugstore.com. it's awesome. how is everyone else doing? my surgery was march 25th. i am down 15 since my pre-admission testing (march 4th). i don't get my fill for another 3 weeks.

    hi there, i just felt like posting a new thread (especially since the other one is 14 pages long). where is everyone from? and when is your surgery in march? i'm from northeast ohio, surgery is 3/25. i CANNOT wait !!!

    hi - it looks like you are copying the HTML code. i think you need to copy the bbCode instead. bbCode: (Message Boards code, FertilityFriend.com's boards, phpBB based boards, Invision Power Board, vBulletin...)

    ok, i'm confused (so what's new :wink:). i have to do the mushies from day 14 to 28. are soft cheeses allowed during that time?

    normally (pre surg), i had awful IBS. but since surgery, yes, i have had a few bouts with Ms. Rhea (diarhea - LOL). no normal stools yet.

    i guess every doc/hospital does it differently huh? i go for my post-op appt next tues (which is day 14). then i see the doc around day 28. i can't tell if my port is red or not because i have to keep it covered 3 more days. my 4 incisions have that glue stuff on them which is starting to come off, so the incision are red there, and have a little dried blood. are you on full liquids for 14 days? i am. it's about killing me LOL. :cool2:
  12. KarenInOhio
    you probably didn't make the wrong decision ! my doc waits 4 weeks before doing the 1st fill. remember, you've had major abdominal surgery. you need time to heal. and as for the woman who never feels anything, she is the exception, not the rule. a lot of bandsters don't feel hungry and have to be reminded to eat. so hang in there, give it some time. if you do "your" thing, it will do "it's" !!! take care, karen :-)

    hi - how is day 5 going for you? this is my first day without pain meds.

  16. KarenInOhio

    hi there. hey, thanks for the tea tip on gas. it's funny cuz the first 3 days my gas was in the form of little burps. and on day 4, it moved lower. i wonder how long *this* lasts. hah

  17. KarenInOhio

    hi there fellow-3/25-er !!! i'm doing okay. today is the first day i haven't used pain meds. i'm feeling a little better each day. i am still on the crystal light + protein shakes + yogurt smoothies + SF pudding. i am anxious for mushies, but that's 9 days away LOL.

     

    how are you doing?

  18. KarenInOhio
    same here ! i was banded on 3/25 and have been doing nothing but sipping down yogurt smoothies & Soup. never thought i'd say it, but i am looking forward to pureed meat ! LOL
  19. KarenInOhio

    annie, did you get banded on 3/25? if so, how is it going? i've been home since thurs night. it gets better each day !!!

    KarenInOhio replied to KarenInOhio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    i agree, you could probably use more Protein. i've been living on: * Protein shake (1 per day for my first week post surg) * strained Soups * yogurt smoothies * crystal light * sugar free Jello my doc also has me eating 1 chewable Vitamin a day. after next wednesday, i get 2 protein shakes a day. i can't wait for day 15 when i can actually have "food" (hummus, thin oatmeal, etc). how is everyone else doing?
  21. KarenInOhio

    hi there. i'm doing okay. i'm 3 days post op. feeling a little better each day. how are you?

  22. KarenInOhio

    hi there. i had my surgery on wedn, got home last night around 8:30. my pain is worst in the morning, probably since the meds wear out overnight. i'm up and walking around. all in all, i have a little better every day.

     

    write back & let me know how you are !!!

    hi girls ! i got home last night. the pain isn't too bad. the liquid painkiller helps take the edge off. walking around is not hard at all (i was expecting it to be). i'm wearing an elastic band around my waist. i've never sipped so much in my life LOL.

    where did you find those 42g protein bullets ? and did you start taking them right after surgery, or did you wait ?
