i certainly wouldn,t want to give birth again.ouch .did you try the heating pad ?take a demerol ,you will feel less pain. i had gas but not that bad .i took gas x and it helped a bit

dh. has to do it in the hosp. because family history of maglignant(sp)hypotherma and they don,t want to take chances. i was on solid stage on thurs. and fri. i went for fill, and i thought i am going to eat something good before i am on liquids again. they say to eat something light before fill.dd. took my husband and out for supper and i ordered chicken breast melt and salad and all i ate was half of chicken and a bite of tomato .i was to full. i brought it home. it was awesome .how long will that restriction last?

sorry to hear your dilema yoda.have some patience .maybe you are exercising to much.

yes dh is getting excited.we went shopping yesterday and he bought 3 big bags of chips and dip. he said these are my last for awhile. he starts his pre op on aug 18.we had a scare ,dr joffee called to cancel it as hosp.needed that spot for a cancer patient.postponed till oct 28 .dh was so disappointed he said i might as well cancel it as he starts his schooling in sept. and his mind was set to go in august then they called backthe next day and asked if he wanted that date back as they juggled it around so we have to be in hosp. for 6 in morning oh well i am glad he is getting it done in aug.hopefully.

i used the heating pad ,gas x .walked around and used my demerol for the first 4 days .that seemed to help me .

buffie it could be a cold and sore throat coming on.it is going around.i have a swelling gland and sore throat also.

congrats.kim you are banded now. everyday you will start to feel better. just follow the post diet tblc gave you.

:think Does anyone have any advice for constipation.? I have irritable bowels,and was taken zelnorm but since i had surgery i can.t take it anymore it makes me feel sick. so i have been very uncomfortable lately. i don.t like prune juice.any advice would be very helpfull. thanks

i only did 15 min on treadmill all week. shame on me .

hi yoda i am doing good .the only problem is my bra rubs on the port incision and is a little tender.(yes i definently need to wear one ),also i need a fill ,going on willpower and puree food. i go for fill on aug. 11 and dh goes for pre admission on aug 14 then gets it done aug 28 .right now he is getting his fill of poutine (mmm)and potato chips .i would love to have a little bit but i know i can.t

i am glad you had a good trip yoda. that was a good buy .i like bargains like that too.your meal sounds good to. do you have restriction now.?

hi kim are you buying fatfree yogurt and fatfree or 1% cottage cheese. nisreen (sp) said no fruit bottom only artificial(sp) sweeten. be patient kim .

yes the 1 month sounds good to me too.thanks argon i better wait for another few weeks.

sign me up too cloe .i will exercise 3x per week for at least 30 minutes.i want to join a aqua fit class .does anyone know when you can swim after surgery?

yes i work in a factory and i thought i needed something more solid to tie me over for the 8 hrs. my husband and i were in for consulation with nisreen when a lady on the phone was in a panic about starving so she advise her she could have a chicken breast. 1 breast a day if need be .i had a small one everyday with yogurt too. i lost 17 lbs so not to bad.

tblc told me if i was really hungry i could have a chicken breast (spices only)

kimmason lol about the container. it gets a little better 3 or 4 days. i was on it for 14 days. i am finally on puree food yeh .

well said yoda keep up the good work cloe always a few negeative people in the crowd. if i get a craving for something i am going to eat it too. this is a life long tool .
