A Bad food day
ElizabethNYC replied to FeelingGroovy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a hard time this weekend as well, well Saturday and Thursday. Both days I had sweets and I don't even like sweets. I need to start adding fiber to my diet as well because on Friday night into Saturday I was pretty much crying because well I couldn't poop....it was pretty bad. I'm going to try the gummy fibers and eat more veggies, hoping that helps! -

ElizabethNYC replied to options123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told absolutely NO carbonation. -
Is this common?
ElizabethNYC replied to healthyroad69's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am over a month banded and I still can't get the full 8-10 ounces down at a time. It takes me pretty much all day to finish it. -
MARCH 2011 BANDSTERS!
ElizabethNYC replied to MarcyLoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey all!!! Happy Monday (ugh not really). Hope everyone had a great weekend. I went to physic this weekend and she told me I'd be married within 4 years and I'm going to meet him at a support group meeting. I found it entertaining! I can't wait for my fill next week, little nervous about it but I know I need it! I had a cookie on Thursday and a brownie and a half on Saturday (not good!!!). April 27th needs to get here quickly. I'm also looking forward to my vacation to Disney, that needs to get here as well. I'm still a little nervous about fitting into roller coasters, the last time I tried to get on one it was embarrassing :-/ Anyway, hope all is well all around!!! -

You're probably fine, my stomach looked like I was preggers for a few days but it's gone down. It's all the gas they've pumped into you. -

Yes both are normal, I had both done before hand. -

You're going to be do fine. The anxiety you're feeling is completely normal. Good luck with everything!! -
I was extremely picky when it came to Protein drinks, I hated them all! The only one I really like is Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein powder, the chocolate Peanut Butter flavor. They sell is at Walmart and it's $13.00 for two pounds and it tastes pretty good. Before surgery I had to drink 4 medifast shakes a day.

Good luck with everything and congrats!!

Just wanted to wish you good luck!! Check out the April 2011 thread, might find some people there who are sharing a date with you. -
I've had it and it's not so bad. I didn't like the protein shakes from Unjury though.

ElizabethNYC replied to Woodslass's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the first few days I had to hold my breathe while getting up off of chairs or beds but now it's fine. It sounds like the port site that's bother you still and it's normal. -
Pear shaped body and extreme weight loss
ElizabethNYC replied to hiddnstar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've always heard that since we lose slower the skin has more time to keep up and it's not as saggy. I was also told that if a tummy tuck or skin removal was needed to wait a year after reaching goal. Hope this helps a little. Good luck! -
My port site still hurts sometimes too. And my surgeon was the same was about the NSAIDS. Hope you feel better soon!!
