Hey everyone- I have been reading about some people that have suffered from allergies and have alot of mucous/drainage, and when they got their Lapband, the drainage made them really sick and they ended up throwing the drainage up... :smile2: so not only is that gross, but also very scary because of band slippage! Anyone with any suggestions or experience would be great!!!

I have bad allergies and have been suffering the last couple of weeks but I have not thrown up or PB'd since I was banded.

I worry about the same thing, but so far it hasn't been a problem for me. Would love to hear if it has been a problem for anybody with bad cold or allergies.

I've been sick for the past month with a flu/cold/death? and it has not done anything with my band, drainage has done what it always did pre-band..

I have been on and off (mostly on) allergy shots since I was 16 and have been on allergy medication since that time. I've been banded since November and have not noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks everyone for your responses... Maybe I was just assuming it was allergies, but maybe it was just sliming associated with PB'ing? Who knows, I'll just need to take it day by day. Thanks again everyone!!

      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.
