Kinda funny- scarey story about my weekend...
So I had really bad heartburn all day long on saturday- couldent kick it! I tired everything i could get my hands on...So DH said we should go to the ER and just get something to make it go away... Felt really silly, buuut i was in alot of pain... so we get my Mom to watch the kid, and go to the ER,
The doctor there says he doesent think its heartburn, but he thinks i have something wrong with my heart...I was in SHOCK!! So we go thru all the tests, and all the Meds- they gave me nitroglycreen(sp) and that stuff droped my BP to 82/50 thought i was going to DIE! So they call an abulance to take me to tripler, to the ICU.... And after another round of tests and monitor and pokes and prods...
turns out I have Heart Burn!
They give me a bunch of meds- inculding some lidicain(sp) to numb everything up... and it worked...
So yea... a whole weekend spent in the hosbital, over some heartburn... but i am greatful it wasent a heart attack- I am to do a barrium test sometime this week to make sure my tummy dident rip open when my band sliped...
Just thought i would let you all know how wonderful my weekend went!!

I also got some Any Whey.... the flavorless powdered protein that can be added to foods. Everyone seems to have different tastes and your tastes can change after surgery, so I wouldn't invest too much in any one thing.
For a while, I found all the sweetness of chocolate, vanilla, etc. and even all the fruity flavors to be overwhelming. I felt like I was defeating my purpose because everything I was eating was sweet and sugary and flavored as such! Hard to think "Lose weight" when I was consuming all puddings and shake-like concoctions! That's what I was trying to get away from!
I was a big FF chicken broth fan. Sometimes I'd kick in a splash of shoyu for added flavor. SF Jell-o is also my friend. Hubby makes our own frozen treats using SF Jell-o, SF Kool Aid, and Splenda that are literally guilt free and count toward fluid intake.... and cheaper to make than the SF name brand.
Hmmm... what was the question?
Malama pono!!!!!!!!!
Congrats...
The testing part feels like it takes forever i know, but time will go by quickly....
They may try to sell you the bariatric advantage supplimites(sp) both my Mom and i thought they were awful! YUK! makes me gag to think about it! it was 3 years ago- maybe they have new flavors now, but they were nasty!!! centram makes a good chewable, not to awful tasting... and tums work for your calcum... GNC has a god awful vita drink- i think its strawberry flavored....YUCKKY!!!
once you get approvied i would start to stock up on that kinda stuff...get lots of diffrent flavors of protien powder- if you try to do just one you will go crazy...
Keep us updated- and let me know if you have any questions about anything!
