jasonj69 0 Posted June 19, 2010 Banded June 17 2010 Yesterday was a little painful getting all the gas out. Woke up this morning feeling great lots of energy and looks like the swelling is starting to go down. Had a half bowl of cream of wheat and feel full. Suprised at the amount of energy I have. I actually want to get outside and do stuff. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolD771 1 Posted June 21, 2010 I'm next Monday and very nervous. They gave me a shopping list and it's 5 pages long... do they expect me to buy all this stuff? Hi Barbee, :Banane20: I go to the 60's group on occasion, they are not as active as the Pre-op & post-op forum but, we can ask questions for our age group. I bought some different brands and flavors of prepared shakes & powders to see what I'd like and to be prepared. You will want a week or two supplies on hand. Good luck!!!:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
