Hi everyone. I'm new to this, but would love to meet other bandsters. I will be banded on 6/13/06 by Dr. Shawn Garber on Long Island, New York. Anyone else?

I'll try and figure out the ticker too. I've tried and failed before as well.

My husband and I will both be June banders.. We both have surgery June 23rd in Monterrey. We will let you all know how everything goes as soon as we get home!

Well, got banded 6/6. Feeling much better now. 3rd day was the worst. Really not bad overall. I'll be on liquids for 5 weeks, so i'm doing cream of chicken, Protein Shakes and the like. I do notice that my stamina has been affected... I guess it will just take time. Now, does anybody have any good ideas for low cal liquids that taste yummy?

rebndave: There is a "sticky" on the food thread with some liquid ideas.

The best thing I have found is Gatorade, Shaved Ice, Mock Tortilla Soup, Cucumber Soup (you can search that and find the receipe), and Isopure shakes.< /p>

I have tried baby food, broth, Jello, pudding, but nothing beats that shaved ice... even with nothing on it, it is so easy on the tummy!

Barbara,

I don't know about Cindy's dr but my dr. only makes us do liquids for 24-48hours and then it is soft diet after that for 4 weeks. Melissa posted a list of soft food on one of the earlier pages that is very helpful.

It's good to see something on here from you. I was getting a little concerned. I've not heard of dilated pupils from anesthesia.

I am still dealing with dizziness. I thought it was getting better but this morning it's bad again. It's causing some nausea but not unbearable....yet. Any thoughts from anyone out there will be appreciated. I ate a few bites of oatmeal this morning with real sugar. Someone had suggested that I might need the sugar. I willing to try most anything at this point.

Happy Monday to all. Good luck to who are being banded this week and to those of us who are still recovering.

Sissi,

I had problems getting the ticker to work also. I had to try one of the other options other than HTML. I think it is the "bbCode". Also, if you do the preview, it will show you if it worked or not before it sends. Good luck! I hope this helps.

Sissi,

You're getting the same thing that I get. Let me know if you figure it out, I am tired of messing with it too.

Guys/Gals: If you search "tickercentral" in the search section it will bring up about 10 threads on the ticker thing. I went to tickercentral.com copied and pasted the bbcode into my sig... and it worked just fine.

Now for my update.... I am sooooo hungry!!!! I am worried, cause my whole shake went down with no restriction this morning... no pain... Oh goodness... I am going to attack some mashed potatoes or something!!! ***deep breath*** Goodness... I never thought that mashed potatoes would sound so good!!!!
