Kathy- I used to have the worst neck pain and headaches ever. I took excedrin every day for years. Then I went to the chiropractor and in 2 weeks I was cured! No more excedrins for me.

Lynette- I can't wait until I can eat mushies to try out your recipes. Yummy!

Dmjet- we have not hit a 100o degree day here in TX. Hottest we've had was 93. Amazing, PA is now warmer than TX!

Gladster12- my dr. said I can do it when I feel like it. Right now I think it will be a while, my tummy is sore and super un-sexy with all these bandages.

Hi everyone! Didn't go to the movie after all. We went to lunch at Chili's and I got an order of plain mashed potatoes and picked on that. DH got the chicken tenders, and I had a couple of nibbles of one and it was delicious. Tonight, I ate one of his left over tenders, very, very slowly, no problems.

As to sex, the hospital literature says something like at your own comfort level. Well, this afternoon, me and my DH got comfortable and everything worked JUST fine! So, that hurdle is past.

As a reminder, my band date was 7/16.

All seems to be going fine! Good night everyone!

Oh and to whoever asked, the bad breath is due to the Protein and ketosis, I think it is called. It too will pass...

Can you believe how weird the weather is??? We had one day at that temp ... the rest have been low to mid 70's. Lows at nights in 40s and 50s. Just bizarre!!! I KNOW it will be hot and humid when I go back to school!!! Always does!!!! Just stinks!!!:lol:

Brandy,

Glad you got "comfortable" with your Honey, lol!!!! Nice to know everything works, how 'bout it? I still get a little nervous, because if he puts pressure on my upper abdomen, I get pressure in my chest from the port!!! Doesn't feel too swift!!!!

My husband had a knee replacement this past Weds. so I haven't been posting. I was very gassy and bloated until yesterday ( I was banded on 7/17). As of Thursday I've lost 14 lbs. so I'm pretty thrilled. Don't yet feel I can get into full exercise mode yet. How are others doing? Anyone exercising yet?

We always go to Starbucks after church on Sunday, but won't be going to church tomorrow as I'm not up to taking the two kids alone and the DH and my brother are putting the finishing touches on the kitchen. So we took the kids to Starbucks tonight... my son is so obsessive!!!

So after we went to Walmart for a few things and I felt much better walking around. Still really slow, but not as achy as before. Also, my neck stiffness is receeding.

I do often suffer from stiff neck and migranes. I see a chiropractor monthly, which has helped a lot. I think this one was caused by the position I was in during surgery and the anesthetic.

Kids are now in bed, and I'm relaxing. No hunger, just head hunger. I'd love to eat a bunch of chips or something... but drinking my juice is more than enough to fill me up.

Goodnight everyone. Jeanie, thanks for the extra support. I really appreciate it. BTW, I feel your swimming pain. I'd absolutely love to have a pool, and if I did, I'd be really pissed if the pump broke and I couldn't go in. Make sure the DH of yours fixes it a.s.a.p.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
