Hello Everyone.:lol:

I am a newbie. Banded on 8/11/09 by Dr Miles. Had to stay overnight due to Medicare. I am doing well with only minor pain every now and again. Haven't had to take anything for the pain yet. Staples come out tomorrow.

I want to thank Shawna for agreeing to be my Angel mentor. It makes me feel stronger to know I have someone that will reach out if needed.

I cannot believe that I haven't wanted a diet cola at all since giving them up. I was so addicted to them. Water with crystal lite seems to be satisfying me for now.

As soon as I figure out how to put all the "pretties" on here, I'll get mine up.:D

welcome and congratulations. i was a big diet dew and sweet tea fan but do not miss either one of them and am 7 weeks out from being banded. Good luck

Thanks for the welcome Kaninag. I went back and read a lot of the old posts and I am now beginning to feel like I know some of you. I am looking forward to getting support/advice from all of you that are ahead of me. Someday, maybe we can meet at group. Have a safe day.:D

I have a question: I am on full-liquids and can have yogurt w/o chucks. My poor hubby has brought home two different kinds. The yoplait smooth is nice but way too high in everything. The other is okay on the label but it is so bitter! Could someone just tell me a brandname of plain yogurt to buy? I hate to keep buying it and can't eat it or won't eat it. I love yogurt and think it will probably save me often when the going gets tough or something.:lol:

Got my staples out today! When Tracie weighed me, I had lost 17.5 pounds in one week. I told her that she was wrong and made her do it all over again. I couldn't believe it. I have never ever lost that much weight in a month..much less a week.

I ask about moving to a soft diet but doc said NO. Oh well, I'll be there sooner or later.

:biggrin:

they make several new yogurts that are like cheesecake flavored, orangecream flavored and they dont have chunks in them. Hope this helps!

Good Morning Everyone. I am sending you a wish for a good day, one that is complete in every way possible. At day's end, I hope you can say to yourself "It's been a good day".:blink:

I was sorta depressed when I left Dr Miles yesterday. He made me feel that he didn't believe I would be successful. I got up this morning and decided to look to my own goals, be happy, and just shake off the feelings I had yesterday after seeing him.

Maybe he was having a hard day...who knows.

Time to go get a Protein shake....see you later.:mellow:

Protein is def important and youre not going to get that from a one a day vit..is that what you meant by one a day?

You'll start feeling really fatigued if you dont get your protein in...SO you could try the Protein Shots from Walmart OR I got a recipe from Veronica on a choc Peanut Butter Protein Shake that is AWESOME!!!!

1/2 fat free milk

1cup of ice

1scoop of vanilla protein mix

1pack of sugar free or low sugar swiss miss chocolate mix

1 tablespoon of peanut butter (I add a little extra)

3 packs of splenda BLEND WELL!!

These are so good my husband likes to have them for breakfast!

Get your protein girl it will make you feel better!!

I can already tell how important the Protein Shakes are to us. The decrease in energy is evident when I don't get in mine.

I am going to try Kaninag's recipe for a variety shake. Right now, I'm on plain vanilla but my hubby puts a banana in his shake. He doesn't need to lose weight but he likes the shakes anyway. There are several people in my church that had the surgery and they use some of the different flavored shakes but I purchased the Vanilla b/c you can always add a flavor. As Kaninag said.....get your protein.:confused:

      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.
