I was just banded last week but I was able to eat an entire footlong Subway sandwich today ... is this normal?? :rolleyes: :biggrin1:

It should be ok as long as it didn't have cheese on it. Cheese can make you gag!!!!!

It's only normal if you add a half cup of nails to it...

Hey travelgirl...the nails came up on dwlz.com. I know it's translated to weight watchers points but i think it comes out to like 2 points per half cup...

During his info seminars my surgeon has part patients come up and share their story. No shit, this is what a bandster shared with us the night I attended:

I really had to debate which surgery to get, but I'm really glad I went with the band. I can have cake, Cookies and ice cream whenever I want them, and I know I wouldn't have been able to do that with the bypass.

When asked how much weight she had lost:

I'm down nearly 30 lbs so far, I will be a year out next month. I wish I had lost more weight. I think I just need to focus on Protein first - eat the tuna BEFORE the ice cream, instead of AFTER.

During his info seminars my surgeon has past patients come up and share their story. No shit, this is what a bandster shared with us the night I attended: ...

Your doc isn't bucking for a lot of new business, eh?

My doc is doing his first ever seminar in AZ in a few weeks and he asked me to attend. Now I know what not to say. :rolleyes:

Actually, I don't want to talk. I have decided I am going as an observer only.

I'm glad this thread is here....

Faith: Maybe you should keep a tirade saved in a Word file and everytime someone posts something like that, you can copy and paste it into the thread? :)

I think there is something wrong with my port site. Yesterday it began oozing green pus. Today it is completely black and I think my intestines are leaking out. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I see my surgeon? :)

Nah... it's normal. It's stinky but totally normal. My doc said so when my own intestines fell out. It speeds weight loss.

Oh good! Glad to hear I am not the only one. :whoo: I figured that since this was the norm then pooping out my navel was common practice as well.:guess

      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.
