First Day Liquid Diet
1RockinMom replied to xandriacharlee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can do it! Kudos to your hubby for doing it with you. Just keep looking forward to that surgery date!! -
Ibuprofen and aspirin can cause ulsers in the pouch, thats why they ask u not to take them. Try before u have ur band, Tylenol Extra Strength LIQUID, its awesome. I used it instead of the pain meds the dr prescribed for after surgery. Good luck!

nausea and dizziness
1RockinMom replied to vjflores's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, that patch is a biiig help, they used it on me right before surgery so I wouldn't get sick from the anesthesia. It's called Transdem Scop or Scopolamine. -
Crazy amount of Hair Loss, Please Help
1RockinMom replied to Morkiecoco's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't had the hair loss issue with the band because I just had it done, but years ago when I was on the Phen Phen my hair fell out from loosing that weight rapidly. I took Biotin and used Biotin Shampoo. It helped me maybe its something u can look into... Michelle -

Protein and the first 2 weeks
1RockinMom replied to inklot's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Ink we were just in the chat room. I have a very good list of foods my Dr gave me. I'm doing the Isopure instead of the shakes for the first week. But if you cant handle the isopure that's cool to do the shakes. You can also have sugar free jello, clear 100% fruit juice,Popsicles, Gaterade, Decaf coffee, diet Snapple, propel, Fruit 20 and water. He recommended sipping 6oz of liquids for every hour u are awake. hope this help you. -
Scopolomine Patches... Please Read!
1RockinMom replied to BEK1986's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow.. I had that patch put on by my anesthesiologist and he made the point, about 5 times, to wash my hands if i touched it. My surgical nurse told me about 6 times to be careful. I cant believe no one told you??!! Bummer..... I think I'd be looking into the matter on who's responsibility it was to inform you. -
Lap-band surgery vs c-section
1RockinMom replied to catho72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No comparison, I've had 3 c sections. I was up and around no problem. You will be fine. -
This is a different kind of hunger...
1RockinMom replied to oyesican's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Help! Scared to Transition to Real Food TOMORROW!
1RockinMom replied to Miriam's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi There! oh you are so lucky!! Wish I was eating soft food. Im still on the liquid as i have only been banded since weds. But I have a really good booklet the Dr gave me on some food ideas. This is considered "transitional foods(soft solid diet)"..soft scrambled eggs,finely chopped meat, chopped cooked vegs, baked or mashed potatoes, Hot cereal. .cream of wheat, grits, oatmeal,soups including chili, cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding (sugar free). Hope this helps, if you have any ideas, let me know!! Good luck! -
Just need to vent at how slow this process is.
1RockinMom replied to justme2u's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gurl....Haters:sneaky: are everywhere! You just need to concentrate on YOU and forget about what everyone else thinks. 28 lbs is awesome and I bet your co-workers can tell. If they aren't encouraging you and helping you, then find someone that is. You need positive people, not negative people in your life now. Like the old saying goes.. Misery loves company. Get out of their zone and into a positive one! Good luck to you.
