Awesome!!

With all due respect, we do understand carb cravings. Many of us have them. If it's something specific to PCOS then no, we don't understand. But if you're posting about it on a Lap Band forum then you can't expect us to "have a clue" about PCOS. Any advice you get here is going to be based on what we know about the band, not PCOS.

I never can keep my stories straight, so I tell anything to anyone...

Your milkshake experience sounds a lot like dumping syndrome. Probably too much sugar for your system to handle!

I have head hunger, but when it comes time to actually eat I rarely enjoy it. It's an interesting paradox.

This was a one of the greatest descriptions of what you can expect to feel about food after surgery that I have read so far! Thank you for sharing this. I pray that my recovery is the same and I feel the same way you do about food after I have my surgery. It really give me hope for a more "normal" life after vsg.

dont be afraid they sewn the band onto your stomach and it would take a good bit to make it move in that fashion...why it is best to follow the dr's instructions in regards to the amount of food you eat, carbonation etc....to make sure this doesnt happen...sure some things do happen, but why worry about something that may or may not happen..... i am 13 months post, no issues (never stuck or anything) and there are plenty of others way longer than me with NO issues dont worry.....enjoy this new life you are beginning. (again)

Thanks for sharing, I too am 6 months out. my biggest hurdle is chips. Nevet ate them much before, but sure sit and eat a half bagg if I let myself. I noticed after my surgery i craved more salt than i ever had, so I have to be careful.

I hear you!....Im going in Monday....Nervous and excited at the same time.

I know how you feel. i am having surgery one week from today and last night i did wake up in a panic. with a million questions...........will i always have to sip my water, will i alwyas have to chew my food 25 times before swallowing.........will i be able to eat regular food after a while. am i going to be able to get all the water and protein down after surgery. i know that i am totally making the right decision, i guess it is really the fear of the unknown. good luck to us all!
