Hey February 2010 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Good luck everyone! Remember walk, walk, walk and gas x...seriously it says take up to four at a time, take the four! I have gone through three boxes since getting home on Saturday and they were totally worth it.

Justplainbatty, unfortunately too much is way worse than too little. When my Mom had her knee surgery the nurse on Saturday told my dad to keep pushing my mom's button for her every 15 minutes--she nearly ended up in a coma. My dad just kept telling my sis and I that the nurse told him to and she had the degree and for us to shut up they were professionals and knew what they were doing. Fortunately my sister and I never did listen to orders well, so off we went to the nurses station and all hell broke loose. Long story short always be careful not to overmedicate with the morphine pump. Glad you are doing better now.

Tomrrow is my BIG DAY! I can hardly wait. I will be banded at 7:30 in morning by Dr. Kim in Carrollton. It all seems surreal. I hope I can sleep tonight, yeah right. I live about an hour and half from the hospital, so it will be a very early morning for us. Good luck to everyone being banded on the 18th!

It looks like theres three of us going into "bandland" tomorrow... You, me, and "A New Me" I have to be to the hospital by 5 am for a 7 am surgery. I get to confirm that later on today. Wahooo I am excited and totally freaking out at the same time... Fear of the unknown is whats getting to me today. I am not really scared for the actual procedure its a short one. Just freaked out about whats coming down the road but kinda freaked out in a good way.... Is that possible? Any how GOOD LUCK TO ALL MY 18TH BANDITS!!!! I'm rolling with ya!!!!:(

Much <3

The last couple days were great....... felt very little to no pain and gas pains were few and far between, I started full liquids Sunday and energy was a little better.

Last night, all of the sudden, I have had pains in the front of my shoulder/right below my collar bone - sharp pains that made me cry for the first time since banding....frustration was part of that :(

I think it's still gas pain but it was at the back of my shoulder and center of my chest ..... Why does it have to move?!? Geeesh........ go away already!!!!

It will pass, it will pass......that is what I'm hoping, literally!

Here i am at my last day at work. I leave for San Juan tomorrow 6am to pickup my aunt who is going with me to Caracas. (She is from Caracas and the surgeon is a family friend). We leave for Caracas on Friday, some sight seeing and then tuesday 2/23 9am is the surgery. I am not afraid. Other than leaving the kids with my husband and mother in law in charge..hehe But for the first time in Lord knows how many years I am putting me and my health first. I will not be able to logon, but as soon as I return I will upload pictures and blog. Best of luck to all and God Bless. :D :thumbup: :thumbup: :(

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
