Topic: RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I was thinking of you also while I was laying there waiting. I am walking and sipping. You're right, it's hard to get enough in. The first few days, I could drink easily and I thought no problem.
However, now that I've started to add foods today, it was more difficult.

Topic: RE: I did it!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited and happy for you. I prayed for you right before I lost all memories, Can u imagine being so afraid like we were and now we have had successful surgeries? I wish I had prepared myself for the after Surgery phase more, I spent so much enery being afraid that I should of prepared myself for the gas pains etc. I am having really Bad GAS and poop issues but my surgery was uneventful and I was released from the hospital on Thursday so I am happy as of right now. Are u walking and sipping? Hard to get 4 to 6 lil cups in an hour though. Sandi please keep in touch so we can go through this journey together!

I AM HERE!
I was discharged yesterday evening and I am having gas pains and still need to poot. Sipping and walking. Still on full liquids until my post op appy on the 18th of Jan. I was so afraid of the surgery part that I didn't focus on how I would feel afterwards and for all of those who says this is the easy way OUT, they need to feel what I feel for 5 minutes! Can't wait to hear from the others. Let's keep in touch!

Topic: RE: Help! First day on Diet
I don't have any advice, I'm sorry. :( This is my second time around with the liquid diet, and all I can say is that it plays some serious tricks on your body. I was downing water left and right, and keeping myself full all the time but at the same time was starving. I'd call and talk to the nutritionist.
Topic: RE: Help! First day on Diet
I feel ya, I'm on a strict 4 shakes a day diet plus water and crystal light.
Topic: Starting my liquid diet AGAIN
I'm starting my liquid diet today for the second time. My original surgery date was Dec 22 and I had gotten a full week into my liquid diet and got sick. I went to the ER and found out I had Bronchitis. So my dr wanted to reschedule do to the meds I had to take. I got my new surgery date, Jan 22nd w00t. Now today I'm back on the protein shakes. No food at all, just 4 protein shakes a day, 1 serving of protein pudding and unlimited caffeine-free, sugar-free and carbonation-free clear liquids. *gag*
Topic: RE: Returning to Work
I had lap band surgery in 2008 and was off for 3 days. NO BIG DEAL AT ALL!!! You feel fine! I had the band taken out on Nov. 30th 2009, not an effective tool for me, I was out of work for 4 days, it was harder to get it out then it was to put it in. I am having VGS on the 20th and I plan to be off for 2 weeks. I think that I will be fine. I recover well, but EVERYONE is different. my mom had RNY and she was laid up for 8 weeks. Different strokes for differnt folks.
