Thanks everyone! It is getting better, i drank 2 protein drinks yesterday, went for a walk yesterday and a 2mile walk today. I had to mix protein shake with skim milk instead of water to drink it. my moms cooking steak for the kids, i'm dying!! I'll be fine though. My mom has been my rock she is on a fast with me, not eating, jst doing liquids, taking vita. and walking with me. I love her.

After my battle with my insurance company, I was approved. Initially I was told that because I had given birth to twins in the last year, that more than likely that was where my weight gain came from. After they recieved my medical records they saw that I was infact pounds smaller after the birth of my daughters. I had this surgery to improve my health, I have horrible cycles, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and I'm just out of shape. I need to be in good health to take care of my daughters. It has been a struggle for me. The pre-op two weeks diet, i did in moderation, i kicked candy and sodas but i backslide on small portions of food. After surgery on the 28th, i'm scared but a burger sure sounds good. I can not wait to lose this hunger feeling. the only thing keeping me going is the fact that i went through so many doctor visits to get here to screw it all up and I dont want to make myself sick. I'm struggling! I hate the protein drinks! can't drink no more than two, bare drank one today and that was because i put it in coffee. I'm dying for some grits or potatoes. My head hurts alot. taking multi-vit. drinking some water, not really thirsty. I have gas moments and it feels so good to burp. No bowel movement yet. I have consumed a few oz. of chicken broth over the last few days. Any advice?:scared2:

Hello All! I Just got the Adjust. Band on the 28th of Oct. I'm having a hard time drinking protein drinks! I can barely drink one. I'm starving, but holding on. I added slim fast to plain coffee just to help me get it down. I'm also very sore. It hurts me to lay on my side. Does this have anything to do with the removal of a hernia that was found during my surgery? And my back hurst like hell!!
