It's so humiliating when my stomach gurgles its silly post-op burps that sound more like "fireworks" than a genuine burp. Particularly when the entire room I'm in is silent. This happened during an exam a few weeks ago and my friend three rows over told me after, "I wanted to throw you a muffin, you sounded so hungry!" I laughed and said, "I was anything but!" (I'd scarfed down a few peanut m&m's the professor had passed out. Major mistake.) The second time was last night during Scattergories, as everyone was silent, trying to come up with words that started with the letter "R". My crush started laughing. (Thank goodness he knows about the surgery.)

Have you guys had any embarrassing stories about stomach noises or other such things post-op?

Do you have any suggestions for suppressing the ridiculous noises? ]]> Twenties doodleallday http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f117/embarrassing-stomach-noises-during-university-exam-105575/ http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f117/smoking-after-lapband-105439-new/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:21:53 GMT hi i havent had lapband surgery yet but i smoke about 5-10 cigs a day and will quite before my surgery but can you smoke after your surgery and do you ? hi i havent had lapband surgery yet but i smoke about 5-10 cigs a day and will quite before my surgery but can you smoke after your surgery and do you ? ]]> Twenties nightgangl7 http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f117/smoking-after-lapband-105439/ http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f117/pre-op-liquid-diet-my-suggestion-104944-new/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:43:31 GMT If you're like me and will soon be on a full liquid diet don't fret. The iSS® Oh Yeah!® Nutritional Shakes are really good. They come in 5 flavors; Chocolate, Banana and Cream, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry and Cream, and Vanilla and Cream. They are sold at GNC and other nutrition centers. They are on sale now actually for $39.99 this is for a pack of 12. they are 14 fl oz each with 220 calories 3g of sugar and a whopping 32 grams of protein! A regular at my local support group said he could go 2 weeks on these with no problem because after 3 days he wasn't that hungry because the protein keeps you really full. So try it out and hopefully it works for you. I know I will.

I have surgery this Thursday and I am excited and scared all wrapped up in one! I hope that because of my age and lack of major health concerns everything will go well. I am not very impressed with the support groups that I have been to because they mix the banded patients with the bypass patients. It should be great to get support here! ]]> Twenties http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f117/surgery-thursday-104429/
