2muchfun 8,927 Posted January 25, 2016 Debbie, so good to see you doing so well. You're an inspiration to all who take this journey one day at a time. So many(me) expect it all to happen in just a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted January 25, 2016 Just wanted to show you all the picture of me and Julian taken at our company Christmas party. I still have the picture of me at the party back in 2011 when I was probably 250 or so lbs. and had such trouble standing during the cocktail hour due to my knee and hip pain. I don't know how many times I can say thank goodness I got this WLS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphina Valentina 9 Posted January 25, 2016 Today I am 10 days post op Lap band. I have a few questions that I was hoping someone could shed some light on for me. First let me tell you a little about what my doc's post op orders are for me at this point. I am on thick liquids now till Friday when I begin mushys. I have been having a Protein drink for Breakfast and cream Soups for lunch and dinner. If I am hungry in between I eat SF Jello. My first fill is scheduled for 2/5. Here are my questions: 1) Will this gas in my tummy ever go away? Will I always be gassy and bloated? I don't have the pain in my shoulder gas anymore just in my tummy. 2) I only have a BM like once a week. Is this normal 10 days post op? Should I take a stool softener to help? I walk everyday now 2+ miles and drink fluids. 3)I have quit losing weight for 4 days now. I only eat about 400-500 a day and exercise. Just seems like the scale should move some. I love this site and Thank you in advance for any insight on these questions. I go for my 1st follow up tomorrow to see my surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharpie 3,306 Posted January 26, 2016 okay you northerners.. WE actually got snow flurries here in Sunny Florida.. You know we were freaking out. but they didn't close schools or interstates.. I am not a cold weather person, that is why I live here. I feel bad for you all when it gets to the point of closing cities and transportation. We have had that problem with hurricanes. I like the comments about what to stock up on.. I think I would have to do yogurt, cheese, eggs and definitely coffee.. p.s. Debbie your son is very handsome, I know you are proud of him .

I ran into a friend in Walmart today she walked past me.. I had my boots and a fringy sweater on (I thought it was cold 45 deg. lol) she said omg you look wonderful. made me feel good and I told her honestly I feel great except coping with my husband's death day to day . She said you have never looked better.. yippee.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
