HI Need motivation buddy
Kareen022 replied to nanadi1118's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well Howdy Ms. Diane, My name is Kareen (car+een). I myself am only 20 and live in Texas! But I would love to help encourage you in any way that I can. I know how hard it is to stay on track, but you can do this! Congratulations on your new grandaugter by the way. I bet she is going to be just gorgeous. I want you to live a long time to see her grow up. :thumbup: As far as your doctor, he obviously doesn't know patcients. I know he was frustrated, but when you yell at people for gaining they'll do just what you did. But don't be discouraged! You can do this. You first step you already too by coming on here looking for support. I am ready to give it to you! My second peice of advice is to call around and try to find a new doctor and explain the whole situation to him. Now, the other part of this though is realizing that when you do gain--you might get yelled at. Now this Dr. may have been off his rocker, I wasn't there, however I do know that he was probably just trying to keep you on track. But lets do this for you and for your health!!! I would love to send you e-mails or just talk to you on here. Anything that is easier. Good luck and I can't wait to hear from you!!! :Yawn: -
Yeah, I know! Hang in there hun. Hydrocodine is amazing!!! You will be sore for a few days. I myself had a terrible time after my surgery. I couldn't sit up, sit down, or anything without help. It was terrible. Took me five days to get on my feet. But I am a whimp
But the sorness will stop--promise!!

Getting banded Dec. 30th!! Pr-op Liquid Diet, HELP!
Kareen022 replied to claire0823's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey Girl!!! Congrats on getting the band! :wink2: I hope it all goes well. I just got banded December 18th myself. My pre-op diet was 2 weeks before my surgery. I had to drink 2-3 Protein shakes a day and cut out all soda, carbs, and sugar. They wanted me to eat lean meats and as much green veggies as I wanted. But remember, ever doctor is different--so just because I ate this doesn't mean that you should. Here is what I can eat now though! ON stage I (2 weeks after surgery): Protein Shakes (2-3 times daily) *I highly reccomend the Adkins Dutch chocolate or Strawberry* Snacks (2-3 times daily) Some examples are: -Baby food (I like banana) -sugar free, Fat Free pudding (I like Jello brand) -Sugar Free Jello -broth (I just drained the chicken Noodle Soup) -Sugar Free popsicles -Applesauce (be cautious--wait until you're gas is gone because it can cause it) -Light Yougurt (I like the weight watchers brand, because it cannot have chuncks of fruit in it). I hope that helps!! But just remember every doctor is different, so follow your Dr. Instructions! I hope it goes well!!!! -
