Topic: RE: Sept. 15th
How's it going Perry? I feel for you , thankfully I'm aloud one meal and the rest liquid. The only problem is that all I think about is WHAT I should have for that meal. I think I'm more obsesed about food than I was before.
I was having upper stomach/chest pains last night and kept saying that I shouldn't be having that kind of pain since my reflux isn't as bad as it was. Duh... guess who found out what true hunger pains feel like. I always thought skinny people were making it up when they said their stomachs would hurt when they were hungry as I thought I was hungry ALL of the time and I never had pains.
Hang in there, we only have a week to go...HOLY CRAP

Topic: RE: help for the very discouraged and already banded
Ok...I am really new ...only banded 2 weeks.
Can you tell us how many fills you have had?
It is my understanding that the real results come post fill...and post sweet spot which can take up to a year to find!
I know that the band will NOT do it for me....I still have to think...plan...exercise....I still have to choose the protein first....not always what we WANT to do.
Personally, I would keep trying....keep bugging your dr. Don't give up until you have a solution.
Keep posting!

Topic: RE: HOME from sept 4th surgery - feeling icky
I was sick with nausea for over a week after I got home- it was terrible. My Dr. prescribed an anti nausea med (actually 2 different ones since it persisted) Also I promise that uncomfortable feeling goes away... I had the same thing... I couldn't stay in one place like I was running from the pain or something but it kept following me!! AHHH! It is frusterating. You will be thru that soon just hang in there!

Julie,
Feel free to vent all you want!!! That's what we're here for. Have you told your doctor how the pain medication makes you feel? Maybe he/she could prescribe something else. Atleast your surgery is behind you. I still have 3 weeks and 1 day to go.....but who's counting
.
Keep us posted on how you're doing!!! Good luck.

Topic: RE: Pre-Op liquid diet STINKS!!!
We are getting close. Sept 9. If you need to be on a clear liquid the last day, try Isopure, 40 grams protein, 0 carbs. GNC
or vitamin stores only.
We wrote to one another before, Good luck! I am waiting to hear for sure that hurricane Ike does not have a bearing on my surgery. Robyn

Quick don't die! Help is on the way. Atkins Advantage is abt 20 grams of protein and tastes pretty good. Zoic 21 protein, EAS advantEdge 17 grams protein 2 net carbs, and for the clear protein days try Isopure, 40 grams protein, O carbs, 20 oz bottle. Isopure is $3-4 I like grape frost, but it comes in other flavors too! If you need more suggestions, let me know.
