BrendaKay 1 Posted September 14, 2007 Hello Everybody, I just got out of Tampa General Hospital. My band slipped but everything is fine now. I got to start over and go on liquids again, but that is okay. I'm still losing and very happy! Good luck to all!

BrendaKay 1 Posted September 17, 2007 I was unable to keep ice chips down or small sips of Water. I kept vomiting. Thats when you better get to the hospital asap. I went to Tampa General and they done surgery the next day, I had blockage. They were able to save my band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave01 0 Posted September 25, 2007 Lou, Where are you getting your surgery done? Also, Please let me know what you have been told about your after-op diet ( liquids, pureed? ). Mine was full liquids the day after surgery for 2 weeks, pureed for 2 weeks, soft cooked for one week then normal meals. Walmart has a whey Protein Powder, choclate, that is pretty good. 2 of these a day with one meal has worked real good for me, with no hunger at all. Take care, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
