banded_for_life 2 Posted April 10, 2006 Shawn, I haven't slipped...knock on wood..I just have more of a stretched pouch then the fill dr wanted to see. He said if we didn't get a handle on it now. It could lead to a slip in the future. Currently...my tiny fill and the liquids really seem to be working for me. Although my family reunion yesterday was really hard to get through.

KSWAN 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Well, this is my first posting. I was banded Thursday 4/6/06 after a year of researching. I am now a BMI of 29 (was 31 last week). I am very glad of the questions and answers on this site as I am sure I will have many and at least now I know where to go to find the answer. First question, as I am in 1 week post op, can I have sugar free fudgesicle or will this cause enlargement as well. Is this really a liquid if eaten prpewrly? I have hung tight to broth and Jello and apple juice, but was getting sick of that and needed a little something. Also, should I still have shoulder pain? I am taking tylenol but about every 6 hours it comes back. Nothing too bad just alarming. I am also walking treadmill at lowest .09 (lol) speed about 4 times a day for 5-10 minutes. I appreciate any and all answers, this was a scary but positive step for me. Godd luck and God Bless all of you.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banded_for_life 2 Posted April 11, 2006 Yes, the fudgesicle will go right through you shouldn't have any problems that. It is when you get to regular solid food that you have to pay attention. Welcome to bandland kmarie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
