Jorjet · April 23, 2005

I was banded on Thursday 4/21 the doctor said Water only till I see him on4/26...is there anything I could have besides the water? I'm hungry ...:notagree

Are you sure you didn't misunderstand and he what he actually said was liquids. I've never heard of a doctor saying only Water. I was able to have anything that would go through a straw from the getgo. I would suggest you call your doctor back Monday, you should at least be drinking stuff like instant Breakfast or Protein Drinks.

I'll bet you ARE starving. You, well at least I could have s/f popcicles, s/f Jello, and all the liquids I could drink. Let us know how it's going and good luck.

I drank a quarter of a Protein Shake, that filled me up, but the gas is killing me.

I will call the doctor on Monday....thanks so much....I dont know what I would do, with you all the input from here.

Try some gas-x and try to walk as much as you can. Walking helps get rid of the gas. Glad you had some Protein. I drank wonton Soup, without the wontons and egg drop soup, just strained the eggs. Both were very good and healthy too. sugar free popcicles were also quite yummy, helped when you had that urge to chew on something. Please stay in touch.

Hey there Jorjet...You are allowed 3oz of dilluted juice, apple, white grape, gatorade..dilute half and half with Water. You should be drinking 1oz every 20 min, so 3 oz will last u an hour. For me, it was hard to drink , the more i drank the more gas I had. But Simethicone pills that disolve in your mouth are good for the gas. That pain is bad. You can also have chicken broth FF, low sodium diluted. sugar free popsicles.....Hope you are doing well. Just try to get that liquid in, you don't want to become dehydrated.

Hi Everyone,

I am feeling much better today, thank you all so much for getting me through a rough day.

I had a popsicle this afternoon, and some gator ade...what a difference.

I went to the grocery store with my husband, as he picked out his weeks supply of T.V.dinners...LOL....

I think the best part of my day was getting a shower...LOL.

Are any of you going to Mauri's support meeting tomorrow?

Thanks again everyone...

Hugs
