Ok guys need a little help



Recommended Posts

I got banded on August 11 and everything is going great band wise. I feel a little silly asking this, but how did you guys get the glue from the band aids off? It hurts to scrub, so does anyone have any ideas?

it would not come off for me either and I was about to get out the Goo Gone. I asked the PA at my surgeons office and they had a small pad that contained stuff on it that took all the goo right off. I think it's something that a lot of doctors offices have.

Rbbing alcohol or nail polish remover should do it.

Rubbing alcohol did it for me. There is another thread somewhere on this same topic and there were many other suggestions as well.

Good luck!

My incisions were glued together. When it started peeling off, the doc told me I could use vaseline to remove the rest. It worked.

I worked at it for a few days. I soaped up in the shower and gently rubbed the adhesive with a washcloth. I also used some alcohol swabs. It took me a few days of doing this before i got it all off.

      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?

      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.
