hi all im getting the lap band on 11/25/08  i heard some one mention getting a catheda (TUBE TO URINATE ) do you know if that is normal routine if so ouchhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! oh no please no  thanks for feed back

Good luck to those of you having surgery tomorrow!  I'm right behind you on Fri!  Sending positive thoughts your way!  SG

I did both, i had the hiccups and burping, mine went away shortly after a few days!!

Thank you guys so much for speedy responce. Ok so pretty much my tummy didnt like that soup good thing I stopped when I did. I guess I'm going to play it safe and just stick to the packet broth from the store that says "no suger" and or if I make it myself, Its funny I love ice water and cant drink that now my tummy doesnt like it ... and that is the only way I drink water.

I dumped yesterday on a rtd protein shake by EAS.  It wasn't pleasant.  The funny thing is I didn't have symptoms until 1:00 after drinking it at 9 in the am.  I had abdominal pain for about 45 mins and then it worked its way up and I vomited about an hour or so later.  TMI probably but we are all learning right now.  I thought it would be a good choice to have when I bought them, they had low sugar/carbs, 17g protein, etc.  The only thing I can think of is that it was soy based protein and not like the whey that I have been drinking since I've been home.  I won't be drinking any more but will have to look at the label again to see if I can locate the trigger before I throw them out.
