And I like it like that! My baby is driving me like a five speed on the floor!

Recliner worked great for me for 4 or 5 days! Liquid Morphine and Gasex did help alot. I was told to walk every couple hrs so I would walk and take the pain meds and sleep

Funny!! I cheated times on the preop diet Drinking Beer!!

I lost 23 lbs on the preop diet

It took 4 fills for me to have restriction and now after 2 months it very rare that I feel restrictions

A day of golf and a couple coctails is what my sons are doing for me today!

Ok I now understand "Stretched Pouch", So with that I want to ask another Question. I currently have 9.2 cc in a 14cc band, every once in a while I get food stuck and it wont go down wont come up so I ahve found that drinking water to push it down work albeit painful. How do others deal with this?

Duck Faces and farts!! That is so Friggin Funny!!!!

You will be just fine! But it sounds funny to lick the chips!! You will probably not feel any restriction for a while it took me until 9.2 cc in a 14 cc band to feel that and it has been 2 months and I not longer or rarely feel restriction. You will see in other posts about the green zone and suff like that! About a month after surgery I even went out with my Girlfriend and had a Ribeye steak with all the trimming but was able to eat only about a quarter of the meat. Its all a learning process you will figure it out as you go!

I was given liquid cherry flavored morphine upon discharge and used it every 3 hour for a couple days! The real pain for me was the gas pain in my shoulder!! Got to get up and walk so you can fart and get that gas out of you!

I use the chicken Broth from Unjury it tastes good but make sure to use water that is not to hot as the powder clumps up really bad!

I don't really get "stretched pouch" could you explain more on this subject?

It certainly is discouraging although I didn't have that problem. I have seen several others post the same thing. I was on Liquids for 2 weeks after and then mushy food for an additional 2 weeks and managed to lose another 20 lb during that time. Now after 10 months I find myself going to protein drinks if I gain a few "pounds" and it seems to work. Goodluck

This is an interesting Post as I have that problem! I few week ago I started taking softners because of anal fissure, It took several days to heal. Way gross!

Gained 7 lbs this weekend!! Back in Lap Band hell!!!

It just Pisses me off, I lose 13 gain 2 or 3 and the lose it back but 7 lbs is way to much. Yes it may have been the Mexican food I ate but 2 or 3 rolled Tacos can't be that bad!!

OK this may sound gross but I would like to know! The last few days I have noticed after a BM that there is bright Red Blood on the TP. I suppose it is probably Hemroids but was wondering if this could be a indicator of band slipage?

It's a learning Process. I can eat most anything but bread is definatly out! Some pastas I can eat and rice is good to go for me!

You will be good to go for the early fill! You probably will not notice much of a dif as I didn't until my forth fill!

I am a Man and do 2 Flintstone chewables every morning!

I avoid Pop Big time after I went and tried it a few times!! It had me blowing busters like crazy!!
