lassie

you need to be able to get enough water and protein. If it is not any better by tomorrow I would call the doctor. Hugs

welcome to this forum. I wish you all the best in your journey. Hugs

will keep you in my prayers Hugs

Yes, I was talking to myself saying what the heck have you done, what if I cant lose and look like a fool. Guess what I am still talking to myself LOL , hang in- it gets better we are all here for you, Hugs.

you might have over done it, how far did you walk? Five days is not to early to walk around the block then build from there if you are ok. Hugs I hope you feel better soon if not call the doctor.

did you call and what did he say?

It will diminish over time try and keep yourself busy, walk, read, do something to distract the hunger, hugs.

Glad to have you on this forum, we all need to vent somtimes but the great people on here keep it in perspective and help us through it, no need to come down hard on anyone we are all in the same boat ( so too speak) hugs and welcome.

It shoud not hurt to breathe maybe a call to the doctor is in order. I would say it is gas rather than hunger. hugs

I would go with the salmon or chicken, beef could be a big stuck.

Nice job

I loved your post it will inspire us who have had the post a short time. (5 months for me) it will also help teach the newbie’s that we have to work at this because the band is just a tool. I have been stuck at the same weight for about a month and can’t seem to get past it, I was starting to feel sorry for myself but now after reading your post I will work harder and get past it. Hugs to you and good luck on your journey. I look forward to your future posts on how you are doing.

I was born In Britian ( Scotland) I now live in Oregon. It is going great are you a new bander? Hugs

Congrats to all of you

Hugs to you also, the first few days is different for everyone mine was pretty good except for the gas pain. Keep in touch and ask questions. Woot Woot another banded sister

welcome, hugs

HI my surgery was May 24th so I am 5 months in to this and I have lost a little over 40 lbs I still have some to go but i am glad it is coming off slow. I am so glad I did not have the by- pass as my doctor tried to talk me into. I am doing just fine the way it is. Hugs

Whoot Whoot you are an inspiration to all of us. Hugs

My doc said as soon as I was ready I would know, it has been 4 months I think I am ready just kidding.

Ditto

I also had Tri-Care and it took a year to get everthing done. I went on the 6 months nutrition classes and lost enough weight that they said i was not heavy enough. After gaining back some of the weight they approved me. Good luck with your band and stay on this forum it has been a great asset to me. hugs:)

Congrats and hugs it will be a great journey.

I also have tricare and it took a few times sending in the paper work, so do not give up if they turn you down. Just do what they ask and the time will fly in. Hugs

yes you CAN. We are all here to help you, stay on this site and keep posting your concerns. Even if I do not post I get so much from reading the wonderful answers from the people on here, it is kind of like a drug for me. Good luck to you and lots of hugs.
