  1. During my second week post op on the liquid phase, I had horrible acid reflux. But i took prevacid and mylanta and after a week it went away. Then graduated to solid foods and EEK ITS BACK! Did anyone else have this problem? My stomach constantly gurgles and have gas. Is it the newness of solids after the liquids? I can belive I'm saying this but I miss the liquid phase (well the third week anyway) and no acid reflux.
  2. During the liquid phase I was terribly moody. Sad, happy, depressed. lonely, angry. oh my god And I couldn't concentrate on my work because all i had was liquid in the stomach. I really really wanted food. (and yes i cheated a bit) I was angry at everything. And then the next day I was fine. And then I was weak And its not just women.. cause I'm a guy. and im Kinda moody. looking forward to Wed when I can legally have food again.
  3. Here are some great ideas to keep the liquid stage interesting. Egg drop soup vanilla shake mix blended with cantelope and ice split pea soup lobster bisque go to mcdonalds or burger king and get a milk shake!! muslcle milk light diluted with a little water or milk and blended with ice in blender. Your husband may be a shit but you have to take care of yourself. David
  4. oh my god! only 4 more days and I can eat and not feel guilty. really looking forward to that. Trudy, I am going to have a hamburger (no bread), some vegatables, some fruit and maybe a baked potato when I can eat again I have not had the stuck problem. OK here goes. Lord (and lap band Nazis) please forgive me...... becuase duing the liquid phase I slipped and had a burger, farina and the wantons in the wanton soup. oh and also for the bread in the onion soup. oh and the croutons in my split pea soup which I asked the waitress not to put in but apparently she forgot. Oh well. It's just that solid food was the only thing to relieve the horrible gas and acid reflux i experienced during this liquid phase and post op. I called the center and they were not really very helpful at this point. Dr So said that maybe Dr Miranda can modify this phase for you because you are having trouble. Dr Mirnda would not budge. So I listened to my body. It's my body. I know some of you Lap Band Nazi's will really beat me up for this but It's too late; I already ate it. So get over it. And if you were able to do this liquid phase without slipping...more power to you. I have been generally good , except for the above but how exciting that in just 4 days... I don't have to feel quilty about a burger and croutons in my soupl Did I mention I was down 13 lbs? So there you lap band nazis! David
  5. I agree Muscle milk light is too sweet but if you dilute it with milk or water, add ice and blend, its truly fanastic, David
  6. Iti' s only been 2 and one half weeks. Down 13 lbs. Can't wait til the solid stage.
  7. I had it too. It seems to have gone away. Every now and then it comes back. Only 2 1/2 weeks post op. 13 lbs down
  8. Well I haven't been perfect but here are some liquid fun stuff that have kept me sane and somewhat on track. egg drop soup muscle milk light blended with ice and a little water or milk. split pea soup. lobster bisque atkins advantage shake in a blender (vanilla) mixed with cantelope and ice homemade chicken soup strained and when really really desperate and I have only done this twice but what a treat a Burger King Vanilla Shake and a burger king chocolate shake.
  9. These are for the liquid phase. Muscle milk light blended with extra water (cause its too sweet alone) and ICe--this was great Vanilla protein powder blende with canteloupe. And if I'm really really hungry Burger Kings Vanilla or Chocolate shakes. and Egg Drop soup was a lifesaver. no chinese noodles.
  10. Went and got banded myself. Was scared! But there was safety in numbers--- eight of us that day. You really don't need anyone. I met a girl who came down herself, we got banded the same day and we went shopping in Tijuana the day after surgery. You have nothing to fear. Think of it as an adventure.! David
  11. Thanks Natalie for being so honest. David
  12. Was good today and yesterday on liquids. Not really hungry. The reason I ate some solids was that it was the only thing that calmed down the gas and acid reflux. I hope i haven't damaged the band but I am going to be hopeful. Is anyone else having trouble with this liquid portion? The poster above with the mashed potatos---thanks for being so honest. A Burger King Chocolate shake was my treat for the day. david
  13. I too am two weeks post op. Trudy and I were banded on the same day. Then went shopping in Tijuana the next day . I had terrible acid reflux and gas for the first week but it seems to have gone away. I sometimes get queasy and now its just my energy level. I can't work as many hours as I used too. I have slipped on the solids. I have confessed my sins to Trudy but had a good day today. I am down 12 lbs. I am a bit worried that the solids I have eaten may have stretched the band.. but I guess I won't know for a while. I haven't been the best. Does anyone know just how damaging solid foods can be to the band? I mean what percent of people have trouble with bands if they haven't been perfect with the liquids for the first two weeks? I mean I had no trouble eating a piece of bread. ( i chewed it real good) Today had lobster bisque (no solids in it) at Whole Foods--nice treat. David
  14. HI TRUDY I am also being banded July 23 and am coming down alone. Maybe we can hang together after surgery and go shopping or at least walk. you can email me at davidgoldyn@bellsouth.net. I am also scared David
