Like BG said, talk to your doc.

Also what the hell are you eating? Tone it down like no caffiene, tomatoes, onions, peppers, vinegar and other acidic things.

Enough with the praise the rest of y'all.

Oh, and tomorrow night, I'm taking BG out to a Queer Country Line Dance Competition Fund Raiser at a bar. Should be fun. I'll try to take pictures. heeheehee,

Before my phone decided to be an asshole earlier I was saying that I just recently started listening to country so I don't know the dances.

But I could be some excellent eye candy for the ladies.

J - Today I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast, 1/2 Fiber One Bar for snack, a handful of raw soy nuts for lunch, the other 1/2 of fiber opne bar for snack. Then I stpped on my way home to buy the Omeprazole and got a pint of plain vanilla ice cream hoping that would help my heartburn! And that is all I have eaten.

I never eat anything with onions, etc. Lol. I used to love hot stuff, like the buffalo sauce and stuff, but since the beginning of the band I haven't tolerated that stuff.

Anyone ever heard of flat Stanley? It is a book and my daughters class is doing a project on it. Here is a link to read about it if you have not heard of it. Flat Stanley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They want each student to send out Flat Stanley to 5 different people. Would anyone like to participate? If you want to participate you would get to host Stanley for a few days and then send him back with a note telling about his adventures while he was with you. You can include brochures, photos, postcards, etc regarding his visit. My daughter would really appreciate help in this project and we would be providing all the stamps, envelopes and such. All we need is your time.

Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

ZZ,

I WYD said what I was thinking. Girl, you could do some damage if you don't get this looked at. BG had to get a slight unfil this past winter too.

Don't tough it out. You could hurt yourself. You're a nurse, be a patient. (did I spell that right?).

XO

Hi everyone! I GOT MY BAND!!!! I am still at the hospital, waiting for my doctor to come in and discharge me home. I'm a little painful at the port site, but what's worse is the itching I got from the Scopalamine patch (a little tiny patch behind the ear to ward of nausea). They've been feeding me Benadryl for hours now. Other than that I'm doing great! I got to see my band on fluoro....That was pretty neat!

I'll talk to you all later!

      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.
