my doctor told me specifically no straws because you can get more air than you should... I'm two weeks out from being banded and joined some old high school friends for lunch on Sunday... first time in forever the waiter brought me a water with the straw ALREADY in my drink! I almost, out of habit, started drinking, but then remembered ..and removed it.. it was actually good to have something to play with while my friends ate their meals! :confused:

May 10-14 2010 Bandsters
sillysallysunshine replied to lisagus's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am doing much better now that I feel more like myself again!! honestly, it took about a week and a half to get here.. :cool: I am down 12 lbs since banding... I am going in for my post op on the 1st and then back to work (got a little vacation.. lol) can't wait for my first fill on the 14th! I have four incisions and three are pretty much healed.. I still have the steri-strips on the port incision. My clothes are a little looser AND my rings go on without a battle.. I love it! can't wait to start working out... I am cleared to do the elliptical for 30 minutes a day starting when I go back to work... I've been walking every night and am up to 1 mile and making it in to a family thing! :w00t: can't wait to hear how everyone is doing! -

why do you need to shrink the liver?
sillysallysunshine replied to kurby's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This was an important question that I asked my doctor after reading about it on this forum... his answer? I have never NOT done a surgery because of a fatty liver... in fact, he went on to tell me the pre op diet is given to help you lose some weight (which is helpful for any surgery) but also so I could get used to the post op diet and way of life... all doctors are different though.... -
Weight Loss Supplements?
sillysallysunshine replied to jingleboob's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took healthy trim for a while... it is another weight loss pill that hypes you up and you will lose a little on it...never stays off, at least for me. My doctor told me no supplements during my pre op diet.... -
May 10-14 Banders--How's it going? Share.
sillysallysunshine replied to anglov's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on Friday the 14th. Today is the first day I have felt like myself since.... My incisions are healing nicely, but the gas pain is horrible. I don't really have it in the shoulder, but mostly in my chest ... I can't burp either... it goes in, but doesn't come out which just makes it worse! Any words of advice how to get the burps up? I know that it would be the cure to my ills! Yesterday I was allowed to add yogurt to my diet and man! I needed it! I haven't really been hungry (although my stomach grumbling begs to differ), but the yogurt hit home nicely. One thing I am having issues with is drinking enough Water... I am forcing it down, but I think I'm subconsciously am afraid I will gulp it down or take too big a swig. Today I did get enough and I feel a million times better. I have been walking... started with 10 minutes and tonight will be up to 15.. I am actually going to venture to the market ... with my family.... in my pajamas! LOL I have never done that, but you know what? I don't really care.. I want to get my walk in and this way we can kill two birds with one stone! I know it's early, but I have already lost 11 lbs since surgery day.. I am sure that it's because of my liquid diet, but that's okay.. it's making all the pain and discomfort worth it! -
my doctor said 1 week no swimming... we're in Arizona so it's almost a necessity of life here. haha

what are you most looking forward to after your banded?
sillysallysunshine replied to BeautyandtheBand's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am looking forward to going to Victoria's Secret and not having to stick to the perfume section... AND not having them look at me like I just let out a rude noise!! you all know that look! LOL wish me luck.. my day is tomorrow! hootie hoooo! -
omg.. sooo flipping out here.. one more day of work and I"m done until the beginning of June! Can't wait!!
-
We're getting close!!!! Just gotta make it through tomorrow- I went today and got my blood work done. My BP was 166/106 :o/ SUCKS! I have to try some relaxing techniques or something cause if is high Friday, they won't do the surgery. I have anxiety, so anytime I go somewhere like that, my BP goes through the roof.
How excited are you??? I'm flippin out!!!!
-
well howdy yourself! today was tough for me too.. I couldn't seem to get enough food! I'm off on Mondays so I kept busy by cleaning.. I told the family it better stay clean too! I don't wanna be up in here recuperating in a dirty house!! lol We only got three days left my friend!!! hootie hoo!!! I am excited, but I have to admit ~ a little scared too!
I can't wait to be past this and watch the weight come off!!!!
I hope you had a great day!!!!!
-
Howdy
) Damn today has been hard as crap! I have been wanting to eat all kinds of stuff- I cheated a bit, and had some boiled peanuts. They are my biggest weakness by far. Full of protein, which is good, but also high in carbs. I really hope I wake up stronger tomorrow!! Right now, ice cream is calling to me :o/ Maybe I'll have some Jello. Lol-Hope your Monday has been well Miss Sally~!~

Going good sillysally! True Results has been great so far. I seen the most weight loss during the two weeks prior and the two weeks after the surgery. I am kinda of at a stand still right now. Just have to watch what is going in.
