Well after a loonng night dealing w/ the gas pain I feel a little better. This go round I decided not to add skim milk to my protein shot, just a few cubes of ice. I'm feeling okay, for some reason I'm trying to face the fact that I have the band inside. I must admit, I have said why did I do this...but I know why. Maybe I will feel better once the liquid phase of it over, until then I will try and get it together. My sister and brother-n-law was trying to tell me it will be hard the first few weeks of getting use to this new lifestyle, but that isn't sinking in. Oh well...what's done is done. As for right now, I'm not too happy with my decision.

Between the 6oz shake I had today and the water, one of them gave me a little gas! I was in tears!!! So I went straight for the Gas-X...it's workin a little. Man! I was upset at myself for having the band put in! A friend of mine had it done and reassured me that it will get better. I've walked twice today for a total of 20 minutes to ease the pain and it helps. So tomorrow I won't use skim milk, just to try and pin point the cause. Other than that I am fine, no pain at any of my incision sites. Thank you JESUS!! Be Blessed

Me too! Thanks Tammyj.

Hi Audree, I'm doing good, considering the gas pain. It's trying to go away (thank the Lord)! I'm ready for the next stage which is puree, then mushy and FINALLY solids!

Oh yeah I use a heating pad and Gas-X too. Be BLESSED!

Well yesterday I had my first episode w/ the gas pain and it was very uncomfortable. Surby is right walking REALLY helps! Even though I walked on the treadmill I was still in a little pain, but I feel much better this morning. I was up during the night trying to get rid of it. I hope it goes away completely. Hope this helps. Be BLESSED!

I got a mushy stage and I can't wait!! I've got a lot of mushy stage receipes from this site!

Great job Telly!! There is hope for me!!! I see your guns girl!!!

Today is okay, I'm trying to get the shakes down. I mixed the 3oz. protein shot w/ 3oz. of skim milk,Splenda and two ice cubes together in the blender. I could only get about 60cc down. I will keep trying...next time I won't use the blender. I think the blender makes it too thick. Other than that I am good. I'm not in any pain what so ever. I am ready for the puree stage, oh yeah and the mushies!! Be BLESSED!

I am home finally, everything went very good...no gas pains or shoulder pains. I'm a little tender at my incision sites and that's it. I'm glad to be home! My doctors were great! I haven't weighed myself yet, so I'm hoping have lost at least two pounds. Well I am going to lay down and rest. Be BLESSED!

Thanks girl so far, it a little hard drinking the shakes. Other than that I'm good.

I'm glad you're doing good. I'm glad to be in my home! I will keep you posted! BE BLESSED!

Great I know you are excited!!

Hello everyone, I am home!! It wasn't bad at all no gas pains or shoulder pains. Everything went very well...I'm glad to be home. I walked around about three hours after I went up to my room. I also got up at about 5:30am this morning and walked for about 15 mins. Overall I'm doing okay, thank the Lord. I hope everyone is doing good. Be BLESSED!

Hi Audree!!! I came home cleaned a little and laid out everything, so I'm ready. My Papasito is on his way home from Pensacola, so I'm ready!!! I'm not nervous, my friend told me it gonna be a HOT summer! They all think I have a foxy shape and now that I will be banded, they think I will be foxier. Be BLESSED!

Well my time is almost here and I am somewhat calm (surprisingly). I feel good! I'm going home and clean a little bit and get my hospital bag together for my two day hospital stay. I will get there at 5:30am and I'm guessing the sugery will be at 7:00am. That's about it...so no stress to because I'm too BLESSED! Sheila Be BLESSED!
