Yeah, Beth! It worked!!!

I'm on liquids all day today because I had my fill yesterday. It felt tight yesterday, but this morning when I woke up I feel better - I must be "adjusting" to it! Bwaaahhaaahhaa!!

I glad to hear that. I hope mine goes well next week. I know to have liquids ready ahead of time so I won't have to worry about it on that day.

Where are those Bingo words JMO?

Had my fill today and what an experience that was! lol I was my doc's "guinea pig" cuz he never did a fill before.. after sticking me like 6 times, he found it and I was filled.. they put in 2cc.. he said I have a VG band and will probably have to have another one in a month or so.. I lost a little weight which was good he said since I was wide open. He said he doesn't get very many patients who lose wide open so I must be something right! So that was very nice to hear! I have been trying so hard. So today I am on liquids and he said puddings are ok too but eat very very slow..

the fill wasnt too painful.. just annoying cuz he couldnt hit it right away.. He told me when he was done that I wasn't a "virgin" anymore.. I laughed and said "was it good for you?" and he laughed and said he needs to keep it down cuz people will think that something is going on!! LMAO.. He said he didnt want to go to jail! LOL It is great to have such a nice Doc!

Hope everyone is doing well..

HUGS,

Donna

I am a teacher. We had a new wing added to our building this summer so we are starting later than usual on 9/11. NJ schools usually start day after Labor Day which was a huge change coming from Georgia starting in August. Wish I could say this has been a great summer what with the banding and my achievements with it but unfortunately my DH's caregiver of many years suddenly quit and I have spent time and effort trying to find a replacement. It's like she waited until I had my surgery and boom.....she quit. Why??? Don't have a clue. Was brokenhearted and DH is still so upset he doesn't even want me to call her. Anyway---sorry for venting--I need to have things set before I go back. :phanvan

Aren't you glad I answered your question Baylormom??? LOL

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
