What a treat! I loved DLites ice cream before I even considered surgery, but never really paid attention to the nutrional facts. Here is the link, I know there aren't many chains open yet, but I hope there is one near you. The small is more than enough and its only 50 calories! Check out the information under nutrition, let me know what you think. So Delicious! Welcome to D'lites Emporium

Hey Everyone, I have glue covering my incisions. I had surgery 5 days ago. My glue is starting to lift on my main incision. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it a problem? Everything looks like it is progressing normally. The glue coming up seems natural, but I am not sure. Any advice?

We have similar stats and a similar surgery date, we should chat along our journey to see how we are progressing. start weight 228, goal 130, banded 11/23. I am worried about the skin thing, too. But I am 29.

I am on day 5 and I took one ducolax last night. It worked in the middle of the night, but at least I went, right! I am planning on seeing how things go today and if needed taking it again tomorrow night. The ducolax was way more gentle than the colace I have tried in the past. Good luck!

Thanks! I am in bed now and feeling much more comfortable with the support on my left side. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am starting to love this web site!

Ok here I was thinking, wow, she and her husband are so smart, I feel the same way!!! I should share, but then look how many people agree with you. I was thrilled to scroll down and see so many people with the same feelings/emotions I have. I was banded on 11/23 and of course, Thanksgiving was tough, but I ended up having a great day and really taking time to enjoy my family. In only five days I feel so empowered.

Strange, my doctor told me I could take advil right after my surgery and didn't give me any limits on any over the counter meds.

I was banded on Monday, 11/23. This made Thanksgiving a little difficult. I had a lot of gas pain in my shoulders, gas x strips really helped and the heating pad was a life saver. I was in a lot of pain the third day, Wednesday, but I feel like a new person today. Still a little sore, but not gassy. That, I think, was the most painful part. I am having a little trouble getting comfortable in my bed. Does anyone have any tricks? I am thinking I need to get a body pillow or something. Anyway, the sugar free ice pops are amazing and I do seem to be able to tolerate almost everything I have tried, all liquids of course. I am looking forward to eating scrambled eggs tomorrow or Monday!
