Congratulations Amanda, you are perfectly normal post-op! Everything you described happened to me and I have read about it happening to others here on these boards. I've lost 130lb in almost 12 months, so I am guessing you would be happy to be declared normal.

Great thread and yes glad she used the word tool.

loved it - it was surprisingly positive on lap band in general and she didn't sugarcoat it - they called it a TOOL not a magic bullet which i liked!

I have been on a salad kick. Like tuna salad, ham salad, chicken salad and egg salad. I just made some egg salad with cottage cheese mixed in with a bit of bacon bits and a little shredded low fat cheese added. It was very filling and was 15 protein grams for my serving. Yum.

Great news Jim! Congrats. You're on the road to a healthier YOU! I'm so happy for you!

Just want to second that you seem to being doing just fine. I had the same experience with chest "pressure" and feeling like I had to burp. Keep up the good work!

from what i read here it seems that the band is very sensitive.. to time of day... even time of month, air travel, even road travel where there is elevation ... so stress would definately be a factor id say... what do the others here think?? ..a bit more here. why not just go back onto liquids for a day or so??

Normal yes but you need to stop using it as an excuse to eat ice cream. Buy some ready to drink protein shakes or some powder.

Well Done! Keep at ..................you are an inspriration to

Good for you tracey... I hope everything goes well with you. Follow everything your dr. tells you no matter how you feel! Hunger is a temporary feeling and most importantly it is most times a head feeling. When it comes to putting food in your body from now on, listen to your stomach! And I am feeling much better today... Depression, just like hunger should be temporary... I'm watching it tho' cause I've heard its common. If it continues, I'm the type who doesn't mind sitting infront of a counsellor. No prob about the spelling..lol..l I'm a teacher, I'm used to class clowns. lol Again, All the best!! Keep me posted...
