Hi,

I live on Smith Street across from Roche Bros.

What was it like when you woke up from surgery? I am just afraid that I will be in alot of pain like my other surgeries and it took a while to settle down. Did you get really nauseas?

Cheryl

hey, Cheryl! you're not far at all from me!! I pass by there prolly daily, lol!!! soo...no..no nausea...they load you up with all kinds of anti nausea meds...what I did have was pain in my shoulder which passed pretty quickly..they said that was from the anesthesia, and they also inflate your abdomen with gas, so they have room to do the surgery....I was walking around that day. it really wasnt a big deal for me, and I would do it again in a heartbeat....

banded living aint a bed of roses, but realistically, it was the best and safest option. its amazing to me how I dont get hungry, and get really full on a small amount of food.....you have to work at it, though, it is only a tool. I also go to the gym for about 2 hours a day most days, so believe me, this is not the easy way out! stay in touch with Adam, go to support, and work your tool...you'll do great!!

here's adam's email addy adam@massweightloss.com

Thanks for the info.

What gym do you go to?

I belong to Gold's and Mansfiel Holiday Inn, but I need a budy to get me going. I was a gym rat for a long time, but when I had half my thyroid out, it slooooowed me way down.

I have two boys, one is 21 and the other will be 18 in 10 days. Wow, that is cool you have triplets plus one. I am a twin.

I am going to Wednesday nights group. Are you going? If so, do you want to ride together?

Hi,

Well, I am 6 days post op. Finally starting to feel good. Wow, the gas in the shoulder the first night was awfully painful, but resovled by morning. Had to have a hiatal hernia repair adding to more pain in the incisional site. Have been off pain meds for 2 days now. Incisions feel better every day. Glad it is over and looking forward to the future.

Well, I have had enough of staying in. It is 8 days today. One of my incisions really hurt, but they look good. I think I am going to step on scale in a little while. I will go to the support meeting if you want to go. Call me 774-266-0106.

Thanks,

Cheryl

Yahhhhhhhhh!

I stepped on the scale yesterday. I am down 12 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never been able to loose more than 1 pound in 2 weeks. It really works if you follow what they say. I can't wait to go to the gym. I know the weight loss will slow down as I have lost a large amount of weight in the past.

      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.
