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:

Hi All,

Surgery was Wed. 6/16 and is behind me now!!!

I'M BACK.:thumbup: I'm feeling much better:thumbup:!! I was in a fog the next 2 days. Dr. had to do a "substantial" Hyatil Hernia repair:ohmy: and band. I was on the table for more than 3 hrs :lol: Hubby was anxious :smilielol5:. Wed. was a complete blurrr:confused_smile:.

Thu. was long and very hectic:willy_nilly: but, I still wanted to go home, so I Jumped thru all the hoops & was discharged about 5:45pm and home @ 8:30 pm.

Fri. I hydrated, slept alot & got my Protein in.

Sat. I acually feel human today, just tired. I was up early and watched the Sun rise on my new Life. It was a beautiful warm summer day. I walked in my yard, out to my garden.

Thanks for everyone's support!!

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:

Cream of wheat already??? Is that allowed? I love Cream of Wheat. I've been on Phase 1 of South Beach for 2 months and I'm so sick of eggs...

Oh Melissa!!! I know exactly what u mean, I had to shut that down months ago. I only look at positive videos....not that I'm putting my head in the sand regarding any negative aspects but i'd rather soak in the positive.

best of luck to u!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
