looking good!! -
Here's some things i've tried/am going to try since I've just started my mushie stage... Mexican Beans Use on package of taco seasoning for one can of Fat Free Refired Beans, stir together and store so you can use the beans as you need them. Bean mixer on bottom of bowl sprinkle fat free cheese microwave for about a minute add some salsa tablespoon of plain greek yogurt yummy!! Wanna Be Canoli Cream soo I'm italian and learned how to make canoli cream, here's my little alternative. 1/4 cup Ricotta 2 Slenda packets few drops of Brandy extract ( can use real brandy if you'd like, but only a drop or 2) mix all together and enjoy!!!:w00t:

Hey it's going good, i had my 2 week post-op appt today and i'm down 15lbs which is great! i'm allowed to have one mushie and 2 liquid meals for the next two weeks until i move to all mushie. So amazing being able to have really mushie chicken salad lol! anyway yea the gym i can start Monday because it will be exactly two weeks from my surgery! i cant wait to get that muscle feeling yay for you!!! how did the fill go? i'm seeing my doctor again in 2 weeks and he may do it then, i think he wants to see how much more i can lose with the band empty. but congrats to u on ur accomplishments!

AmandaC86 replied to wrk-n-prgrss's topic in Rants & Raves
I am newly banded and have been on this site researching for a while before I even had the band....i do agree that there are just some people that don't know what they chose to do fully. Seeing posts of people that think the band is a magic tool is annoying i agree. When i was at my pre-op class i was amazed at some of the people's questions they had just days before surgery that were truly questions that they should've been asking months before deciding to even get the surgery. I've wuickly learned that it's not my thing to read posts that just are so ridiculous and that are extremely negtive when it's the individual that should've been more educated. just ranting :cursing:lol but everyone else is a great support:thumbup: -
okay so im kinda going crazy....i can't wait to be able to get out of my house and move around again! i'm def getting cabin fever. I'm really itchy everywhere and sometimes i feel dizzy and sick to my stomach...i feel like im ready to cry! my back is killing me from sleeping on my back and sitting in a chair, i'm walking around as much as i can but this hip cramp wont go away!!! ugh really upset and just want to be healed!:crying:
-
they are so good, i had them before I was banded and it was recommended that I switch after but i just can't get the other chewable down so these are gunna have to do for me and ill just make sure my levels are up to par! i just chew them really well :sad:

yay ur home! now we can start the journey lol! i think im doing pretty well, sore but besides that it's getting less and less everyday! i had soup this and a lil protein shake for breakfast, besides that just decaf tea and water, sf ice pops when i want a lil change. how many incisions did he do? i got the pill hydrocodone for pain but im trying not to take it right now, i might switch to just regular tylenol which they said would be okay. I'm feeling kinda weak right now but im doing okay! it should get better each day for u! glad to hear ur healing well
-
OMG im starting to freak out! im soooo soo nervous for what to expect after....i kno ive done as much research that i can but i won't fully understand it all until im banded! that all changes tmw can't believe the time is here for me to get ready for the hospital! i have to be there at 8:30am! wish me luck! see you on the other side :crying::thumbup:

I just had the SILS 3 days ago, my surgeon just used the belly button scar tissue to go through so it will just look like my belly button!:thumbdown:

thank yous o much! yea im doing pretty well, my friend came to visit me and his sister had it done and supposedly she had it a lot worse when she came home so i'm happy I'm not having such a problem, just some back pain from how im sleeping in the same position. I can't wait to notice myself different! sometimes its hard to think like I already had it done and now i'm going to change how I look, it's really hard to imagine not being heavy because i've always been heavy my whole life! soo excited tho! can't wait to beback on my feet and sleeping normally. How are u doing?
