I am only 10 days post op and my son has the flu. Hes been couphing and puking all night. Im terrified Im going to catch it. What if I do?

Does that stuff really work?Because I have some he gave me I just didnt know it worked for the flu

I woke up from surgery with 7 cuts.Isnt that 2 too many LOL I forgot to ask the doc if anything happened. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

So Im 11 days post op and it was my 11 year old twins B day today and I did awesome just a bite of ice cream. well tonight I talked myself into having a small piece of Jello cake ( poke cake with whip cream on top) Now Im so mad at myself.Not because of the calories but because Im not on mushys for another 4 days. It was very mushy but I just dont want anything to go wrong!

Wow dont be so hard on yourself. You dont have any fills yet.

Yepper My husband is a boilermaker and he has CIGNA and some plans of CIGNA covers it and some dont....well his plan didnt cover it so we just payed for it out of pocket. I couldnt wait any longer and as the above post mentioned ya cant even by a new car for the price of lapband. A car is just a car but the band can give you a longer life

I know I can have mashed potatos and egg salad and stuff like that but was wondering if hamburg gravy would be OK and what about very soft meatloaf?

there it is Thanks for explaining how to do it:)

I need to post to see if I got the ticker right

I just cant figure this out. I copyed the code but how do I bring it back to this forum and paste it?

I dont understand something before you get to the sweet spot everyone says its banster hell. when ya dont have restriction does that mean ya can pretty much eat like ya used too.and if so is eating too much dangerous?I mean I know we have to be on liquids and all that but when we can finally eat real food and dont have restriction will ya be able to eat like the pre band days?

My doc postponed mine for a few days after I had been on a 21 day liquid diet cuz of a cold.I was so upset.I did not want to drink those shakes anymore but I did . Anyway I went in to surgery feeling fine just a phlemy couph in the morning well he said we should have waited a couple more days cuz i started couphing really bad when I was put under.It sucks to wait but if you do have a cold at the time of surgery you better tell the doc just to be safe...Good luck hope youll be OK

I take sooo many pills and was wondering how they arent going to get stuck one of these days. I take 16 pills in a day 20 after I break the horse pills up. Some are big that I cant split. At the hospital they acted like it was no big deal and gave me a shotglass worth of water to take them all with. I about gaged. I just know when I get a fill Im going to have trouble. I mean jeez ya cant swallow food that isnt chewed why do they expect me to swallow a bunch of pills unchewed

Ok I got banded 3 days ago and am having no problems getting enouph protein and fluids in. Im wondering if I am drinking to fast. I can have cream soup and I add milk and powdered milk to it to add extra protein to it. I can down a cup of that in like 15 min. Is that to fast? I can sip on a cup of water in 15 min. Is that too fast? . It doesnt feel funny in my stomach. Am I at risk for stretching the pouch?I feel really good

Im still doing good but when I burp after I eat or drink its just a little painful (can this hurt the band?) and im starting to get hungry all the time. Im not over eating Im just not sure if Im eating and drinking to fast. I try to go slow. Also I have 7 cuts and they are all healing great but my port is more sore and a little bit bulging but no redness or anything is this the norm?

I need to get between 30or more grams of protein in the first 2 weeks and 60-90 grams after that. the nutritionist said to use double milk( Thats what she calls it) or my carnation(YUK) or unjury. So its been very easy to get in the protein.

everything went well the doc said and I feel a lil sore. I have so many meds to take and that is scaring me a bit. Im scared one will get stuck. I havent went #2 yet is this normal? I took stool softner yesturday and today. So about all the meds. They prescribed none that are liqued and the biggest one is the size of a m&m is that too big? It just seems big to me. They said that they all are fine. I dont get it

Ive been on the preop diet for 9 days now (6 carnation shakes a day) well I just had a piece of pizza:( I dont know why .I just did. I have 12 more days left on the preop and intend not to cheat the rest of the time.

In the morning Im 5 -6 lbs lighter. Its driving me nuts. What is my true weight?So Ive lost 23 lbs in the morning and only 17 at night grrrrrrrrrr. Thats a big difference

The only symptoms I had was stuffed up nose and a mild morning couph.It could of been allergys.

They did mine. It was supposed to be on monday now its for wed if I feel better

I am self pay but that didnt matter i still had to attend 3 meetings and it took forever I had to do all kinds of testing. It took about 10 months for me

Well I called dr yesturday and the nurse said they should postpone surgery and the next available opening was 2 weeks away well I started crying and she got the doc on the phone and the dear soul is squeezing me in on wed. He even agreed 5 weeks of nothing but carnation shakes wasnt good so thank God. I shouldnt even of called cuz Im already feeling better but better safe than sorry. Ive lost 30 lbs in 18 days whoo hoo.

I knew it would happen I feel run down. I sneezed 100 times yesturday and thought it was allergys well today I woke with a phlemy couph. I would call the doc but they are closed on wed. Do ya think they will still do the surgery?
