Hey TMG33,
I'm doing good!! I'm down 6lbs from surgery date 11/18 and I don't have any pains from the procedure, just every now and then depending on which way I move, but other than that I am ok. Still struggling with "head hunger" but this too shall pass.. I go for my 1st f/u on the 17th, hopefully I will get a fill.. we'll see. How is it going with you? take care!! keep in touch

Hey PickSap.. I accepted your friend request.. Thank you! I am doing good. I have no pain actually and I am on my pureed stage. I am actually eating mashed potatoes and applesauce. I have lost 6 lbs since surgery on the 18th, so I'm pretty excited. It is hard though cuz I do still struggle with Head Hunger...Yes it is good to see people like TMG33 to keep us focused.. Well good luck and keep in touch!!

anybody know the protein smoothie recipie?
tipzntoez replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
oh and the isopure Protein drink, do they taste good? Hello, I don't have any protein drink recipes, but I did purchase the Isopure Nutritional drinks and they are pretty good! They would put you in the mind of Gatorade, not a bad taste at all. I was pleasantly surprised!!! :tongue2: I actually bought them from CVS. -

I know what u mean... i have had the same thoughts...I will be sooooo glad to get back to "normal" whatever normal is!! I have graduated to puree foods though. just trying to take one day at a time. It's so very hard though. There must be a light at the end of the tunnel. Im gonna keep on keeping on. -

tipzntoez replied to PrincipalsOffice's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey Yall I was banded on November 18th as well and everything went smoothly until I got home and started feeling my sore throat!!!! where did that come from? I have found out since then that I was intubated(sp)....So, after the sore throat goes away, Im still dealing with the gas pains... and just when ive taken all the GAS-X strips I can to get that under control... tada here comes mother nature!! Arrrgh... give me a freaking break. Having a hard time taking in all the required liquids, cant stand the smell of protein anymore, so i have just been sipping on Isopure Plus, Gatorade (clear) and applesauce,,, my follow-up isn't until Nov 8..hope I have at least lost something, but not too sure. I struggle with wanting to snack, but I try to remain strong... very very challenging though.:thumbup: any encouraging words are soooooooo welcome.... -

Anyone Banded Yesterday, like me?
tipzntoez replied to mrmrslamb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I was banded on yesterday, and the gas and sore throat is really painful. I pray that relief comes soon. I have taken tums and baking soda(old south remedy) and it has helped some but not all the way. I've tried to walk it out as suggested but that seems to worsen it. i dont even have an appetite for clear liquids either, i just want it to leave.:confused::crying: I hope youre feeling betta!! -
Hey TMG33, I was browsing thru and saw your progress pics and u have done an awesome job. I would like to add you as a friend to stay motivated by ur progress. My band date is set for 11/18, Im going thru the liquid diet stage now... so any amount of motivation helps!!! keep up the good work!!

Any November 2009 Bandsters??
tipzntoez replied to 120inside's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello All, my surgery date is set for Nov 18th, so I'm on my liquid protein diet right now and the first 3 days were a real challenge. the forth day is not so so bad. Any ideas on more ways to get my protein in by liquid form. cuz i am almost burnt out on the taste of protein powder and 2% milk, lite orange juice etc.
