March 2014 Bandsters - Let's Do This!

I saw a YouTube video where someone drained the broth from chicken noodle Soup. The broth is a bit thicker and much richer than regular broth. She said it was filled and tasted like fried chicken. Lol.. I hope you find something that works. My date is in 3 days! I have to do 2 day clear liquid before date.. I'm gonna try that liquid fried chicken!!

That's how I felt, and still do almost a week post op. I flipped out on my husband for eating in front of me. You just have to keep your eye on the prize and remember it's only temporary, and for you own benefit. I tried different things like juicing, and broth.

I feel the same way. The best thing I've found is Popsicles, Greek yogurt & oatmeal to help with the craving to chew & to fell full. My surgeon said that Soup broths are good too so I've done the fat free Tomato Soups or broth drained soups. Keep it going, you've got this.

Ok..feeling pretty good 2 weeks out from surgery. ONLY ISSUE is every now and again I'm getting dry heaves nothing comes up but air...then feels like a monster on my stomach. Only last about 1 minute.

Anyone else had this?

I'm currently in my room at the hospital and was banded a few hours ago! I can't believe it's done! I'm sore & experiencing the shoulder gas pain but I'm getting up soon to walk around & start letting things break up (hopefully). Woohoo

Hello

Hope your recovery is as uneventful as mine and all goes well. Just stick to the plan one day at a time. 1/2 lb a day...seems like a little but I will take it in the long haul.

Keep your eye on the final results and this time next year just imagine the after pictures we will be posting

Good luck

Kim

Congratulations! It was a relief to me when it was all done as well! I hope you have a speedy recovery!

I know people posted it somewhere else - how do you deal with gas pains? I'm considering going to the gym to help with it but don't want to push 24 hrs post op?
