Nobody watch South Park or anything else really funny if you were recently banded.....I was banded last Friday....It hurts so much to laugh right now, it made me cry it hurt so bad. Just wanted to let ya know.

I needed to sneeze today and I braced myself for the "port pain" - but it didn't happen - 10 days post banding I can now sneeze freely :-)

Haha, I happened to catch Robin Williams on Parkinson one night when I was in hospital after Eliza was born by caesarean. I had to turn the bloody thing off, I actually popped a staple.

Stupid thing is it was only funny because I was trying NOT to laugh!

A nurse suggested that I use a pillow. Hold it close to your stomach area when you are about to sneeze or laugh. It helps.

Omg My Sister ( Whpo Truly Is A Blonde ) Brought Me Home And Was Going To Make Me Jello Before She Left. Figuring She Would Do What Any Normal Person Would Do And Heat The Water In The Tea Kettle On The Stove ( I Later Found Out Hello It Was For Tea According To Her ) She Is On Of Those People That Only Uses Something For It Intended Purpose. Well Anyhow I Couldnt Figure Out What Was Taking Her So Long To Make Flippin Jello. She Had Out My Humongous Soup Pot To Boil Water In. I Think It Took 30 Minutes ...lmao. I Was In Tears I Was Laughing So Hard Then In Pain...lol So I Know What You Mean

The day I got home, My DH had made me some broth---I took a sip, and I have no idea what he did, but it was so flippin' salty, I must have inadvertently inhaled, and caused myself to choke---I coughed, and choked and gagged, all while trying to continue to breath as well as ----trying to hold a mug of hot broth, and my belly in several spots......NOT easy. Also highly NOT recommended..........yeah this is one of those proceed with caution times!!

      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.
