Tough Times in Memphis
nicanette replied to patrickgd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also banded on the 4th..but not in the memphis area. I tired a protein shake yesterday but that did not go over well. I wasnt hungry and being full of air....I couldnt tell when i was full so it took me all day to get one down. Then to top it all off my gas is stuck in my chest area despite walking or gas x that plus the loose bowels its been hard. My doc says that can start on full liquids today so I'm going to try another yougurt as well as a fat free cream soup..hopefully that will help with the hunger pains...hang in there..I know once we make it to the 1 week mark we should feel much better -
Help...surgery 3/4..liquid diet?wht to buy
nicanette replied to misslonglegs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey there...I too will be banded on the 4th! I'm the first surgery of the day!! Me and the hubby went to sams and stocked up on chicken stock, gatorade, yogurt, and soy milk. I also found a pretty yummy protein powder from my local organic store thats low in carbs and calories but high in protein...i think its called Spiru-tein...I mixed it with 1% milk and it was pretty good to me. My doc has said that I will be on full liquids for two weeks so I have also gotten a few cans of the cream soups and plan on using my blender often! I'm nervous but soooo ready. This site has been great to get ideas! Hopefully you have tried a few things out and found what tastes good to u...good luck and I'll be praying for u! -

Hi girly....well Im 28( will be 29 tomorrow!) I have been overweight all my life...so I was really comfortable with it. My husband is in the military and we had been talking about having kids on and off for a while now. I had been putting off the idea because I was soo not trying to get pregnant and end up like 300 lbs.
I have been thinking about the band for about a year now and seeing as how my family has a long history of diabetes, high bp, and etc..the list goes on....I had to do something. I have high bp myself and I do not want it to progress into anything else..nor do i want to take pills for the rest of my life! I found out my surgery date is 3.4.09 so I am ready and pumped. I am just ready to loose the weight, become healthy, and have that baby me and the hubby have been waiting on. Im sorry if i ramble on at times ...so i will chat with u soon!
