LOL! I had it a couple of days out and I guess still under the medicine cuz I DID NOT drain it and it got stuck!!! :scared2:First and the last time!!! lol! So just drain the chunks!!!

The GNC whey protein in chocolate is really good!

Congrats! on your weight loss! I had my first post op appointment yesterday and all went well! I did tell him that if I had to drink one more protein shake I would not be able to stand myself! So he put me on mushies too! It is truely the small steps that get us through this journey!:sad:

OMG!!! I was banded on June 28th...My hubby took me to Taco Bell today and I ate half of a soft taco and I wanted something other then water to drink, so I got the frozen strawberry margarita drink, well half way through I had a thought that the drink might be carbonated and asked the hubby to try it. Well guess what it was! Feeling kind of full we walked around the grocery store then all of a sudden, I had to through up, running through the store I get to the bathroom and NOTHING, just a HUGE burp and some white stuff. I felt so much better afterwards, but then 15 minutes later it happened again, then again! I'm wondering what caused it? Was it the drink or did I get something stuck...Let me know you all's thoughts are, cuz I definitely DO NOT want to go through that again!!! Thanks guys!

Thanks again, for all of your suggestions! Again, I wouldn't be me if I didn't try to push it sometimes! lol! I'm feeling alot better today, still doing the mushies until I talk to DR tomorrow, I'm so scared he is going to fuss with me, but if he does then I will just have to take it! :grouphug: But lesson learned, it seems the only way I learn stuff is the hard way! lol!

@mommy2P's LOVING THE EDWARD!!! No I haven't had a fill, and I frankly can't see me needing one. I am only able to eat a small amount of food. I have just taken it easy the last 2 days and only doing liquids. I have a check up on Wednesday, so we will see how that goes!

AMEN!!!!:thumbup:

Thanks for all of your responses! I tried some yogurt this morning and I have had the same feeling, I'm just hoping that I am sore from yesterdays episode. I guess I am just going to be on liquids for a couple of days until I feel better! I just hope I didn't mess anything up!

OH NO!!! I can't do that again! I thought that I was going to die! That so horrible! Does it happen often, what brings them on??? Oh by the way, I just don't know what I would do without this site! Thanks!!

Thanks guys for your response! Whatever happened I do not want it to happen again. I was told that as long as I chew, chew, chew, I could eat soft foods and a soft taco would be okay if I could handle the wrap! I guess that is a no! Anyway Taco Hell is not in my near future! Thanks!

I was like that about day 4-5, I was soooo hungry, so my hubby went and bought some mashed potatoes and gravy, I had about a spoon full and I was fine, you need to make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Good luck!

Try the Amp wheybolic protein mix from GNC I love the chocolate, I mix mine with 2% milk, taste like a milk shake. I can't do the other protein shakes!

I was banded the same day you were. My doc is not liberal with my diet and I have 2 weeks liquids 2 weeks mushy then reg food. However my moms Dr. was like yours, she was able to eat after a couple of days. I can see the difference in my weight loss and hers. I am loosing fast where she is slower, but when I start eating reg food again, I am expecting to gain some weight back which is fine, cuz in the end it will all average out. Just be patient and it will all be worth it!

I am sorry for you loss! I am by no means trying to down play what your doctor is telling you to do or what everyone else up here is telling you. But I do know that each doctor is different and my mom had her Lap Band done in Nov. 09. Her Dr. only gave her 3 days on liquid and then on to soft foods. My Dr. however, is has me on the 2 week liquids, then 2 weeks mushy. I think that if you had done any damage by eating foods, then you would know it! I hope that all goes well with you and you have a safe trip back home!

Well!!! I was banded on Monday also! june 28th! I was starving yesterday, well my wonderful hubby brought me home some mashed potatos and gravy from Bojangles, WELL.....I fixed a spoonful with about 3 spoons of gravy in them. I mixed it up and it was the consistancy of my protein drinks that I have. So I hope no one yells at me on here for doing that. :tt1:

I was banded on monday, June 28, I was like that yesterday was not a very pleasant event! But I am much better today, but I am having to down gas x like candy today!! :tt1:

I really don't like Protein shakes but Chocolate Amp. Whey from GNC is really good!

I met with Dr Naziri, on Wednesday, very nice guy! My op is scheduled for June 28! So excited but yet nervous at the same time! =)
