Most non-WLS people think the Lap-band is less invasive than a VSG or RNY so it must be better. it is reversible and there is no gut cutting involved so it sounds great....until you do your homework!       

 Good to know! Thanks so much!

I could crawl under my desk 'a la George Costanza and take a long nap right now.   I've been like this for the last 3 days.  Ugh!  

Okay,  just had to whine a little.  

 I hope my taste for yogurt returns.  I used to love it, I ate it all of the time.  Suddenly at about 1 week post op I hated yogurt.  I can't even stand to see it in the fridge.   Teh weird thing is I miss yourt but the thought of actually eating it turns my stomach. 

Are of the devil!!    LOL  I had about 2-3 tablespoons of them and they were sooo darn good and a wonderful compliment to the blackened shrimp I had.  I had to make myself push the bowl away so I wouldn't eat more.  Holy cow though..16 carbs in the little bit that I ate.   It's a good thing I am super low on the carbs today!    

After looking all over for liquid Tylenol I finally asked a pharmacist about it.  He said Tylenol pulled all of the adult liquid off the market due to some kind of problem with the manufacturing or storage process.  I ended up buying the Junior meltaways and they worked fine.  I had to use 4 to make a full dose.  I only needed them for a few days anyway so it was no problem at all.  

 Cool, thanks.  I just wanted to make sure you didn't mean 3.  LOL   I am going to give your method a try, it sounds great. 

 Up your water.   30-40 ounces of water with all that sodium just isn't going to cut it.  Even with low sodium it isn't enough.  There is no way you have gained 2 pounds of fat, it is all water.   So drink more, even when you are sick of it!   

 Hey! I was sleeved the same day as you.  I am stealing your ham and boursin idea, it sounds fab! 

 So today is the beginning of my soft/puree stage.  With much fanfare I scrambled one egg and added a little shredded cheese to melt on top.  It was the best damn scrambled egg I have ever had! LOL   I had about 3/4 of the egg and about an ounce of NSA apple sauce.   Yummy!   

 These stalls are why I took my scale to my friend's house before my surgery.   I knew I would weigh myself constantly and flip out if things weren't going the way I wanted.   I am resolved not to weigh until I go to the Dr. on Friday for my two-week appt. (it will actually be closer to 2.5 weeks).   Ignorance has been bliss. ;)

 Congrats!  Your weight loss is fantastic! 

 Congrats!!   Now take all the pain meds you need so you can stay ahead of it!
