Hey,
Thanks for being intouch. This is my first time on this site for a while now. I was banded the 24th of July and also stayed overnight. Lost 14 lbs and have plateaued. Except for a few days, I've been able to eat pretty much the same as I used to. How are you doing?
-
How are you feeling? I was banded on July 30th. I had to spend one night in the hospital for observation. I am on my clear liquids but it's starting to get boring. I have to stay positive and think about the future. I am drinking my water, apple juice and my crystal lite.
How are your incisions healing?

Good to know about the Muscle Milk and adding fruit, too. Maybe I'll pick up some of the MM when I go to return that God awful GNC cookies and cream protein powder. Anyone know if you can get those prot shots anywhere besides Costco? I can get to one, but it's a little drive for me. Tried Whole Foods. No go.:juggle:
-
Thanks, Supermom. I'll definitely try those shots. That'll be a lot of help. I'm having so much trouble trying to stick to shakes, jello, popsicles, broth, etc.:thumbup:

Hey Everyone!Glad you're doing well. I had my surgery yesterday and got home today. Doing well-pain meds are helping. No probs with gas really and everything's going down fine. Even had a banana and piece of toast, which I know I shouldn't have, but am getting sick of jello, popsicles, and shakes,which I'm supposed to do for another 6 days, already! Nothing's gotten stuck so far. And am able to drink without sipping. will have fill in 6 wks. I've gained a few lbs, too, but am very bloated. Keep on keeping on!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Just got home fr hospital today-banded yesterday. Having some pain, but I guess that happens when someone cuts you open several times.lol My band won't be tightened for 6 wks, so everything's going down fine now. Finding these shakes, jello, etc. very sweet. I guess putting in something less sweet like strawberries could calm that. Anyone have other ideas?Oh-had GNC "cookies and cream" tonight with milk. It's really cookie dough and way too sweet for me! And I'm definitely a sweets person!

was your tummy swollen afterwards?

I just got banded yesterday the 24th and feel like I'm pregnant! Puffed up just like the rest of you-also good for me to know! I also gained 2lbs since the day before surgery! -
Kartman, I completely agree with you. It's a medical condition (obesity) for most of us, and should be treated as such.

That was funny.... No, I haven't heard of hemp protein myself. Still testing the proteins. Liked the Carnation sugar free instant breakfast, but I did mix it with a bunch of other things. Unjury unflavored mixed with coffee and 1% milk whipped up in a blender was yummy! Bet the chocolate woiuld be, too.
-
Good luck to both of you! Keep us informed and be well.

Good luck to you, too! I hope all goes well. Let us know.Go Mass women!! :smile:

I'll also be July 24th(this Fr!!) along with cantb2noty. Considering all the people from all over the place who use this list, it must be very hard to keep up. Thanks for doing it, though.

Hi Kev, I must say you look awfully happy drinking that shake. And all those flavors... Almost makes me look forward to the liquids/shakes period of 2 1/2 wks (for my doc)! Thanks so much for your input. Cheers!
