I am post op day 2 and am allowed some full liquids. While they stress getting plenty of liquids and protein,but yet only allowed 2-3 oz at a time, how does one do it? do I worry about protein yet? Also, my gut sounds like a tornado when I take anything in? what's up with that?!:toetap05:

good luck to you tuesday! I will be thinking of you and how kind you were to take the time out of your day to respond to me. I went to a party saturday night and really mentally struggled. even if was sticking to weight watchers, i could have at least had a light beer and nibbled on specific snacks. it was rough drinking water with lime and chewing gum like crazy. luckily, we started playing euchre and that was a distraction from standing around the food table where everyone congregates to talk. very few people know of my surgery and i was not about to discuss it at a party.\
i am sick of the shakes for sure, but i have not put a morsel in my mouth. best of luck and keep us posted,peg

Well, insurance gave me the go ahead and I am getting banded on Feb. 3rd. Scared, excited, all mixed with a thousand different emotions. I am on the two week pre op protein shake diet. While I can't say I am enjoying it, I am determined to succeed. I am mostly concerned with the recovery diet, when I can advanced to full liquids,etc. How do you get all your nutrients in taking 2-3 oz. ? I need suggestions. I did buy some vanilla whey powder,yet I am not sure what I will do with it. Any help is appreciated. Peg

Can someone tell me how to set up a personal looking blog, like with the ticker at the bottom? I am electronically challenged and hope I can put my own little progress ticker under my name! Surgery Feb 3rd, now on the preop diet. Yum....not. :thumbdown: -

Thanks for the helpful hints and encouragement,LaurenLCM. I really do appreciate it. I may ask for your wisdom in the upcoming period. Are you losing ? I am so scared of failure.

jaffa steve, i too could benefit from a bypass, being 130 overweight. i am waiting for my late jan banding date. my surgeon also thinks i would do well with the gb but as an endoscopy nurse, i have seen all the train wrecks and i cannot erase that fear from my head. my brother also had a gb, did well for a while, and now is gaining it back. i know we can undo anything a surgeon can do to help us, but I want the lb to work so much. i am so sorry about your brother and your loss. peggy

Anyone getting banded in January
peggy n replied to Peanutband's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am anticipating getting a lap band in January, after my insurance changes to cover it. I am scared,excited,a little embarrassed to admit I need surgical help. But I will just have to get over it and dedicate my emotions to healing and getting healthy. I know my relationships with friends ,family and food will change. Let's face it,everything we do together is based around celebrating with food, dinners ,parties, etc. I am scared but ready. My brother had a gastric bypass about three years ago and he did great but he now is gaining it back. He never addressed his emotional connection to food and this scares me to death. I hope I can find friends and support through all of you.
