Day 3 Post Op (Reply to Tag from Star Achievements) 3/26/09

HI! This is my Day 3 Post Op Video and a response to the Tag I received from Star Achievements. I am feeling great. I had my first Post Op Visit with my Doctor today. I was cleared to move into Phase 2 of the Post Op Diet. .. Yay! I am super excited about Sugar Free Pudding and Yogurt. I am down 15 lbs since I started my Pre Op Diet 10 days ago. I asked my Doctor about Protein Shakes and he said, NO! He does not want me to get use to getting my calories and protein from shakes, cuz they go right through the band. The goal here is to EAT in order to get the needed protein, calories, vitamins, etc.. I'd love feedback from anyone who had a conversation with their Doctor about Protein Shakes, cuz i see lots of Bandsters on You Tube who drink plenty of them. Onward!

Hi! I know this was you more than a year ago. But, I'm day 2 post op and I'm watching every video i can find on this stage. Did you have bad gas pain? It's in my shoulder and chest. Everyone I've come across has said to walk, walk, walk...so that's what I'm doing. Any other suggestions?

Congrats on the weight loss. You have a great attitude. You are doing great in such a short time. Keep it up.

Woohoo! 72hrs!! Same band I have, except for the fill capacity. I'm glad to see you are feeling better. You look good! 15lbs!! You gooooo!! I am so proud!! lool. Take care and keep on watching!! I was starving soon after the surgery also. Hope you keep losing at a good rate!

Sounds like you're doing great and healing really quickly! That gives me so much comfort at 10 days before surgery. My doc feels the same way about NO protein shakes, I'm with Kaiser. They don't want us depending on them for our protein and would rather us start a healthy relationship with "real" food and get our protein in the old fashioned way. 15 lbs...you're kickin' butt! GO GIRL! :)

Great vid! Be sure to post this video response to her video if you haven't already. I didn't have a fill either. Mine is empty until April 9. You look and sound great! Congrats on the weight loss! Congrats on going on to phase 2. I went to p hase 2 a couple of days early because I was so hungry. WOW - 10 days? Man! That would be difficult. They used dermabond on my incisions. It's true, they want you to eat real foods - and that is better anyway! You are doing great!
