Help

Is there someone out there that is having the same problem or had at one time this problem. I am hungry about an hour after I eat. I also can eat a lot more than I am suppose to with no problems. Sometimes I wonder if I was really banded, I can eat almost like I did before. I had my first fill last week, the Dr. put in 3cc. but when I sat up it was really hurting me and he took out 2cc and said I would have to take it slow for awhile. Now I wish I had kept quiet, maybe it only hurt initially and would of gotten better. I don't like feeling hungry all the time and I don't want to gain. I've lost 37 lbs so far. I was banded in Nov.. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, do you think the Dr. will give me another fill this soon? Help

Pre-op diet

Good Afternoon everyone. I am on my pre-op diet and would like to know how one gets a protein drink down, I have bought three different kinds and they are just awful. I am trying to drink Eas chocolate drink now and am having a very hard time. I used a straw and couldn't get anything in the straw because it was so thick. I added some skim milk and a packet of equal with it. I am hoping this is okay and not cheating, but I had to do something. Anyone else having this problem???

Finally surgery on Nov. 19

I finally recieved my date for surgery yesterday, the 19th of Nov. three days before my birthday, Happy Birthday to me. I like this gift but am really scared. Woke up this a.m. and first thing I thought of is "what the hey am I doing, this is so drastic". wish I could do it on my own, but I know I can't, have tried it many times. I just pray I am doing the right thing. I know if I don't do it I won't live to see my grandkids grow up. I am so tired of not be able to do anything because of my weight, and I want to do everything. My husband and I retired and now is the time to play. I can't so I believe I am doing the right thing, we'll see. :mad2:

Need Help ASAP

I am going to be banded the end of Oct. and need to know what me life will be like after surgery. You see I am retired living in Fl. with my husband and right now my health is such that I can do very little. We came to Fl to have fun and meet new friends, which we did. We like to have parties, go golfing with our friends, out to dinner, people over for cocktails and hors d'oeuvre. How will my life change????? Do I want this LAP-BAND®,absolutely, I just want to know if I can still go out to eat without worrying about getting sick. Can I still have a glass of wine or two when we have people over. How about a nice cold beer after playing 9 holes of golf. Will all this come to a holt? I know I have to eat in moderation, I don't have a problem with that, I just want to know my life won't change that drastically. Can any retired person out there with a life similar to mine help me and answer my questions? I need to know ASAP as I see the Dr. tomorrow.   Thanks everyone. I am not a nut case, just someone who needs desperately to lose weight and enjoy what ever time the Lord gives me in this world, I don't want to walk into the Pearly gates, I want to slide in.:thumbup:
