YES!! You are being paranoid!! LOL!! Its good to get rid of some of that air!! Doesn't it feel good!?? I have had huge burps since the day of my surgery, but I know what it feels like to reverse burp and thats nooo fun at all!!

GOOD LUCK!!!! We're all here cheering you on!! Keep us Posted!!

CONGRATS!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!! I'M SOOOOO JEALOUS!

Yeah thanks!! Haha!! Its all good. I have just the 17g of protein ones 110 cal. I just tried muscle milk, 22 g of protein and DANG good!! I'm soooo not a fan of any drinkable protein, but I know I need it. I have had the chicken caprese ones... that one is great... I think the Salsbury one tastes like crap!!! I will try the southwestern Chicken... THAT SOUND SOOOOO STINKIN GOOD right now!! 10 More days of soup! BLAH!! Thanks for the info! Wish me luck!

Thanks!!! I swear by EAS as well even tho I don't care for the taste that much! lol! I have had a few of the SB lunches... Which ones are the best?? I'm soooooo fricken looking forward to day 21!!

I lost 33 lbs pre op with little to no excerise... All i did was EAS morning and EAS for lunch and a south beach dinner (chicken one) for Dinner. The snacks I had in between were no more than 1 oz of jerky at a time, almonds and Peanuts. Definitely keep yourself busy. That kept me out of the kitchen!! Hope this helps!

Thats GREAT that you got to go in a day early!! That just means an extra day of recovery in TJ!!! Woot Woot!!! =D>

Definitely keep us posted... its sometimes scary to lose weight that fast even tho it feels good. Your other organs can't keep up. Good luck and let us know!

GOOD LUCK!!!! =D> Keep us posted!

YIPPIE!!!!!!! Welcome to BANDLAND!!!

Weird!! Amber, that is soooo cool, You are almost ready to drop your first # of your weight.. AWESOME!! Congrats! =D>

How the JUNK can feel that??? Weird! Is today the first day you have felt it?

Does anyone know if we are still supposed to take the chromium picolnate (sp) after surgery??? Like for the rest of forever, or just pre op?? Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! >

I used to EAS advantcarb shakes... Strawberry was the only one I liked... 17 g of protein and only 110 cal.

lol!!!! You still chattin?

We only had a 100 bucks. Which is completely fine, unless you plan on spending a ton on Revolution Ave. If you use your credit cards, they will charge you the exact exchange rate.. So whatever you feel comfortable with... Definitely cash for Revolution Ave. tho!! Good luck and keep us posted!

I agree with ya Anita. Dr. O told me that I would lose 30 to 40 lbs before my first fill. However, I have a lot more to lose than a lot of you! I think I am on the right track tho... I had surgery May 16th and I have already lost 14 lbs since surgery day!! woo hoo! =D>

Have you tried Phazyme??? Its over the counter. Gax x doesn't work for me. Try Phazyme! Also, another thing I startet on Day 4 was Dannon Lite and Fit Smoothie yogurt. Your body needs those enzymes!!! Try some yogurt, that will help a ton!!

That is such an awesome story!! I am sooo excited to know that if there is something like that that does happen, that they are there to help!! Thanks for sharing!

I lost 33 lbs on the pre op... here is what I did... Breakfast 1 Strawberry EAS advantcontrol shake 17 g. of protein 1 carb and 110 cal. Snack 10 almonds Lunch 1 Strawberry EAS Shake Snack 1 oz. of jerky Dinner 1 South Beach frozen dinner Chicken Caprease 240 cal. 30 g. of protein and like 15 carb. (You have to be really careful with lean cuisine's cause a lot of them have WAY too many carbs in them) That is why I did the south beach and the chicken one is really really good!! Drink lots of water... i wasn't really a water drinker until now, so I lived on Crystal light (strawberry banana orange flavor.. YUM). Hope this helps!!

Has anyone ever had fat free frozen yogurt (TCBY)??? Just wondering... might be an idea for post op diet on a hard day!!
