Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I live in Ireland and we dont have GasX strips. From reading your posts these really seem to help a lot.

Anyone any advice would be so good. Brenners x

Hi Brenners!

I would be glad to send you some Gax-X Strips -- just PM me your name and address.

I found Tums helped with the gas and bloating feeling as well.

Have a great day!

Gina

I made egg drop Soup for my dinner tonight........ I'm just too chicken to eat mushies so soon.

If it makes you feel any better, I've done well on mushies. I haven't hardly been hungry at all, so I've attempted a about 1/4 cup of milky cream of wheat and splenda...it was warm and sweet...after all those liquids, it tasted like heaven lol!

I've also pureed split pea soup from a can, which had a lot of Protein. Low fat cottage cheese has went down well and it has a ton of protein too. Baby food bananas was a great treat. I also bought some sugar free syrups and made shaved ice cones...omg they were yummy! no nutrients though they were good for my Fluid intake. :clap2:

Trust me when I say, I am the BIGGEST chicken ever, and I've done good with mushies so far. Everything tastes DIVINE! LOL

The last thing that I want to do is PB!!! I hate vomitting and I do NOT want to get anything stuck. If I can do it, YOU can do it! :rolleyes:

Since we were all banded in April of 07, then we need that to be part of our name.

As in:

Shrinking Violets 4-07

or

Shrinking Violets April 07 Bandsters

Of course we want that cool look that TeachLady has for the Shrinking Violet part.

Anymore ideas?

Again to give credit where credit is due.. Kity did the original Shrinkin' Violets thingy. I just copied and pasted!!! She's the creative one.. I'm the thief. :spy:

I have an idea....if we can't rename this thread, why dont we ask that this thread be locked and then the last post can refer readers to our new thread...Shrinking Violets of 4/07 (or whatever).

I can't wait to get filled on Friday...I haven't even bothered to count calories the last couple of days because I've eaten so much! Well, that's relative, of course. Probably still no more than 1200 calories but it seems like SO much compared to 600-800!! Wierd, huh? scale is still bouncing between 201-203. Boring Boring Boring.

Post surgery diet is strickly liquid for four to six weeks! I know I can eat soft mushies but the doctor said I can't. I had some soft foods on my son's birthday, but didn't over do it. I was very careful with portions and type of foods and chewed it well. Then went back on liquids again the day after. But prior to the party I felt I hit a plataeu and stopped losing. The scale seems stuck for some reason. Anyone else having this probrem so soon after their banding? It's been 2 weeks and I'm starting to get hungry now.

Judy, I am happy to share...anytime!!!

Terri, I can't wait to hear about the fill. We want/need all the details. I am a little jealous, I must admit...I am so tired of being hungry. I was in the psychologist office today, in session, and my stomach growled sooo loud, he initially looked out the window. I told him that was me, and he laughed and said, " oh, I thought it was thunder." Anyway your lucky to have your fill!

HAPPY MAY 1ST EVERYONE! ((BIG EXHALE)) WE MADE IT AND NOW WE ARE ALL ON OUR WAY! I COULDN'T BE INVOLVED WITH A BETTER GROUP OF PEOPLE!!! THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME THROUGH THIS. I LOVE YA VIOLETS...

Sounds good to me Terri.. but I'll let Tracy decide. This thread is her baby and before we lock it down, we need to know it's ok with her.

I'm headed to bed . Everyone sleep well and if you're not there already.. in a couple of hours it will be May and we will no longer have countdowns til our April surgeries. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE ALL MADE IT!!!!!:clap2:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
