oops I mean a couple days.. LOLLLL

Yeah I have noticed that as well. Just talked with my nurse and she said that was normal.. I am also still in pain near my port especially if I bend down.. I think it is cause the swelling from the surgery has come down now... The nurse said that the port is attached to our abdomin wall... So hopefully in a couple weeks this will have passed also..

Yeah my weigh in at my doctors went good. I am officially down 16 lbs since November 18. That is 20 days and 16 lbs lighter. I am so happy and this is just the beginning. I love my little DIva.. LOL

Ok now I need in on all your little experiments since whey protein is going to be my friend for the rest of my life.. hOt coco and pudding... Help a friend out... LOL

Wow that is a lot of different meds.. My doc gave me a script for t3's and that is all. I was in a lot of pain by the next day and went into see my family doctor and he put me on liquid morphine for 2 days... Feeling ok now 6 days out but still a lot of pain at port site especially when I bend or turn funny.. I can feel the port moving weird.. LOL I am interested in what the name of the patch is for PBing might be something I can use as well. Hope all goes well on surgery day for you..

Wow I could use some decorating tips from you.. We have a little 4 ft tree and snowflakes on the windows.. LOL Looks beautiful...

Awesome.. 12 lbs.. I am so excited that I am down 7 lbs in 6 days.. that is so amazing way to go...

I feel the same way... I am more scared of the fill then I was of the surgery.. Freaky LOL.. Let me know how it all goes...

way to go. Congrats to you...

I am so excited for you... And all the good things that will be waiting for you... Yes think positive... Keep us updated...

I have named my band officially my Little Diva because this band is going to help break out the Diva in me.. Something that has not shown her little face in a long long long time.. Also if there was a time spot on her you would realize that I am typing this at 3:30 am and without my glasses.. I must admit that I must have over done it cause I am sore tonight and having a hard time sleeping. (Yes Crystal and Chantal I am admitting that going to a movie was not the brightest decision) I am also worried about the fire as it is getting cold out there. I dont want to wake up to a cold house. It is so quiet in the house. All I can hear is the sound of the fire.. I am sitting here drinking a isopure drink with 60 calories 15 grams of protein and also added a 3 gram packet of benefibre on the go packet. I need to get my fibre up so that I can get my digestive system on all systems go if you know what I mean... Not sure if that is possible when you are only having liquids... Any who so I have named her my little diva. I think that is a great name. Now I am going to google how much fiber I need in a day and get to that in the am.... Goodnight all or should I say good morning..

The two week liquid does suck but when I was at the one week left part i was like yeah half way there and the time just seemed to fly by. You can do it.... Keep it up...

Well I am doing ok... I would be a lot better if I had not have gone to a movie with with my family... I also walked around walmart longer then I should have. DId not use any pain meds until I did all of this... So instead of popcorn I had a bowl of cream of brocoli soup from subway. I can only eat a bit at a time so had about 1/2 of the small bowl.. 3.5 hrs later i had 1/2 of a small iced capachino... Came home and my hubby made me a chocolate shake with a banana... It is yummmy... So secret to this post is do not over due on the 4 day out of surgery... I learned my lesson.. Just wanted to spend some time with my family...

i am going to have to buy this as well.. Sound awesome...

Yeah I have a rash but only where the bandages and stuff were around the incisions were. I am allergic to the bandaids and sticky tape. SO I am a mess and soooo itchy... I still couldnt even think of solids. I am tooo freaked out. Maybe in a couple days but for now I am loving the liquids.. I am so scared to get something stuck.. LOL I am going to be like that forever.. I say good on u for eating just one cookie.. I will not be restricting myself from everything when u do that things fail.. I will be watching what I eat but this lapband is all about restriction for me. I will still eat the foods I love but in moderation now.. You are doing awesome....

Yeah last day of liquids for me.. So excited... What more can I say.. LOL

Well I am feeling much better today.. I crawled into bed today and slept another 4 hrs. That felt good. I have only been getting in under 500 calories a day.. Hopefully that goes up in the next few days.. Enjoying this stage of liquids but get filled up fast and then definantly have pain until I burp.. I get up regularily to get the gas out. I am still so happy I did this.. Loving my new life... Still feeling crabby and iritated easily my poor kids but I feel that as I feel better I will be better... Anyways life is good. Hope everyone is doing well...

I was banded the same day.. I am not really craving any solids love the liquids and have noticed if I eat to much of them I get upset belly.. I think that is why I am not craving anything... I think i am loving the liquids because my preop was so strict and was just allowed shakes and two cups veggies a day. I am loving the Jello, custard, chai tea, Soup broth... and so much other yummy flavors. My doc has me on a 4 week post op liquid diet. Will see how that goes.. LOL

Good luck and you will do well....

congrats t all who have been banded... I am doing good just feeling really tired on day 3 out... Might have a nap again... Take care...

yeah I am day three and definatley feeling the same way with liquids. All part of the healing I guess...

Yeah that is common it is from all the gas they use to pump up your stomach for the surgery. It is important to walk around a bit to get the gasses moving and get them out.. HOpe that helps..

Well I am home.. I feel good... Not great but good. Pain meds are working.... I did well doctors said I did great my Liver was good. I was released 2hrs after surgery because I was up and to the bathroom. I am so happy for Lynn and Suzanne. I got to met Suzanne so that was good. Get to keep in contact with her and have a good buddy... Thanks for all the support... I was so excited could stop talking about all the things I will be able to do... Thanks again will keep everyone posted...
