yes, I got both. Flinestones chewables :) And I have a case of optifast shakes, vanilla chocolate, & strawberry. Then i got some protein powder from a local vitamin shoppe, it is chocolate as well but very yummy. I am waiting to get any other flavors until after surgery because I am a plain kind of gal and I have heard people say that your tastes change after surgery.
My actual goal is to be happy & healthy....doesn't matter what number that lands on.

Absolutely. It would be nice to check in with each other since we'll be going through similar phases at the same time! :) I only have to do liquids Sunday and Monday. Have you bought your vitamins and any protein powder yet? I'm trying to decide which kinds and there are a million of them out there!

oh wow, that is soon for just finding out. I guess we are as ready as we will ever be. I am not nervous (yet). Actually looking forward to it! I did a one week liquid diet in march, then one shake a day since then and a full liquid diet for a week and a half now. So I am looking forward to my hard work paying of. It has a little but very very slowly! Best of luck to you. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing!

I think I'm getting sleeved on the 31st too! What's crazy is that I just found out today! I thought it wouldn't happen for a few months but someone who was scheduled for Tuesday had to change her flight and they squeezed me in. This is surreal. Are you nervous?

Topic: checking in
Well, I had my surgery on Tuesday. I was pretty nervous about it but then friend hugged me and my husband kissed me and the nurse gave me some kind of drugs she called a margarita and that's all I remember until I woke up in recovery. I guess my surgeon even came by and I talked to him. I have no memory of that.
I spent much of Tuesday sleeping with some family in and out to visit me. I was not as bad off pain wise as I expected to be on Tuesday.
Wednesday I was a little more sore and had trouble walking. I was very unsteady on my feet. My legs felt as though they were jello. I walked a few times and finally was able to pee so they didn't have to put my cath back in
Today I am sore...so very sore. The vein my IV was in blew this morning and now that arm is very sore. I am a lot more tired than I thought I would be and a lot weaker than I expected. I am going to have to start getting some protein and calories in soon. I am not hungry, so I will just have to take it nice and slow.
It feels weird to be on this side of surgery. I did "gain" a few lbs being in the hospital but the Dr said its from all the swelling and water and that walking will help that.

Hello,
I am new to this...I had Lap Band on 7/18 and have done pretty well. I tried Pureed chicken 2 days ago & felt extremely full after eating less than 2 Tablespoons. My Drs office told me to back off from meat for now. I woke up this morning not feeling quite right, I am wondering if I was having an episode of low blood sugar..? I am drinking the 3 Carnation Instant Breakfast every day plus V-8 juice, SF Pudding, a Pureed Hard boiled egg & lots of water. I am struggling to get my energy back. Any Suggestions?
