Protein Shake
breathingez4u replied to BandedKraut's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went home on full liquids which included yogurt and YES protein shakes! -
It may be reflux from the restriction. I use TUMs and that relieves it

Does this sound normal?

Woke up with Rash
breathingez4u replied to use-to-be-cute's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your doc was right. I had that same rash two days after my surgery and still almost a week later, have it! I was told it was from the surgical prep and would just take time to go away! Hang in there! -
I have been having problems with nausea and a rash on my belly from the pain medicine. So Ive switched to just tylenol. I have no appetite but force myself to eat a little and drink fluids constantly. Other than that all went well. I have only lost 4 pounds since surgery.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow and know that, yes, it is all in God's hand from here on out!!!

Hi Daisy, I started this journey in December 2009 and felt that this time was never going to come. But, come Tuesday, July 27th just one day after you, I will be having my surgery. It is with nervousness and anticipation that I am feeling but reading the posts I know this is only normal. I wish you success and keep posting so we can keep track of each others progress!!

Do you still have these scrub tops? We just went to dress code and I would be interested.

What to do with too-big clothes?
breathingez4u replied to lauragshsu's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
During one of our support group meetings, we did a clothing swap because everyone is at different stages in the process and some are gastric bypass patients. Maybe suggest this at your next meeting and you could get some cool things too!!! -
Any July Bandsters??

In Need of Prayer.........Waiting on Appeal
breathingez4u replied to ebeeze824's topic in Insurance & Financing
Is your physician's office helping to get you approved? I've been on my journey since December 2009 and just got approved last week, a week before my scheduled procedure! I handled none of the pre certification, the process was handled by the physician's office who eventually had to have the physician speak with the "higher ups" of my insurance company and that's what got it pushed through. I will continue to pray for your success. -
I had my surgery July 22, 2010
breathingez4u replied to craigmorganfan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats on your success so far. As for the pain in the shoulders it is from the anethesia for they fill your stomach with "gas" and it sometimes takes awhile for that to dissipitate, its where the "pain" settles in some people post op. I am scheduled for Tuesday, July 27th but am nervously anxious! -
Dying for a Diet Coke!!
breathingez4u replied to Mamarotten's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its my favorite drink but havent had any for a month. The reasoning is that it produces more gas in what is now a small stomach and may lead to band errosion. Sorry but hope you find something else to satisfy your need, like for me, peach tea, decaf of course:thumbup:
