Hi Fellow Bandsters I saw on another thread many lapband wearers have medic alert bracelets etc to notify medical personel not to stick tube down us blindly. I am cosidering it.What do you think?? Nicole

Hi I been using the unflavoured unjury powder and adding it to my veggie soups and cream of chkn soup.Its not bad and is 20g protein. www.Unjury.com was where I ordered it from and it only took a week to get to Canada. Nicolek

Hi Donna I was banded 6 days ago and struggled on the pre op I did 2 shakes( slim fast Optima) and a lean cuisine a day.I alsoate tons of green veg and mushrooms.Dr Miranda said you can have up to 4lbs of veg! I had lost 14lbs in two weeks with a couple of slip ups.I'm sure you'll be fine. I can't wait to have a protein shake today as I know they will help me with the head hunger!!! Good luck Nicole

Hi Hon How are you doing?? Nicole

Hi guys Thanks for the info. When can I start applying the vit e oil??? Nicole

Hi All I was banded 11 feb and i was wondering if anyone has used the scar healing creams or strips? I bought some yesterday however I think I should wait at least a week before applying them.Any suggestions?? Thanks Nicole

Hi I was banded on the 11th Feb got home to Canada yesterday and can't believe how good I feel!!! Today the shoulder pain from gas has gone so that could be it. I was amazed it only took 20mins for the op and that I was up walking around with my fellow lapbanders within the hour.We even went shopping to Revolution Drive the next day. I'm living on chicken broth and popsicles and maybe try a yop tommorrow (I'm a little scared). Anyone having the op soon don't be nervous The staff were fantastic and very HOT.We met up with long time bandsters coming for fills while we were waiting,They were full of good info and great before piccies. I can't wait to go back down again at the beginning of April for a fill as I know how much I trust them.Good luck everyone Nicole

Thanks Maggie Good Idea.I'm leaving for the airport now!!! Nicole

Hi I'm leaving in the morning to come to TJ.I have everything packed I think!! Gas x, scrubby on a stick to ease showering ,throat lozengers, chap stick,flip flops and books.Can anyone think of anything else???? My hubbie keeps asking if I'm nervous, however I'm actually not.More excited to have this tool to help acheive a healthier life style. See all you guys there. Nicole

Hi I'm arriving on the 10th Surgery 11th.Only 5 days to go! Nicole

Hi Girls Yes, this is pretty scary stuff but exciting too. I can't wait for this lapband help me make the right choices. I maybe traveling by myself also as my hubbie has to herd our six kids.A friend said she will try and come with me depending on a birth of a family baby. I sometimes think its better to travel alone, so if I'm in discomfort I won't want to "entertain" however it would also be nice to have the support. Either way I'm coming!!! How is the pre-op diet going???? What time do you get in on the 10th Debbie and what time do you leave Stacy? I was thinking the pool before surgery! Nicole

Hi Debbied We're being banded on the same day .See you by the pool! How the prop diet going? Nicole

Hi I've lost 10lbs in one week and can't believe I haven't wanted to cheat. I lie! I licked a piece of garlic toast and felt so guilty I went straight to bed away from the Kitchen,however the next day I actually could make cakes with my kids and it didn't faze me. If only I could have been this disaplined before. Only 10 days to go until banding I am SOOO excited. Nicole
