    Not the Flu! It's a Baby!

    wow! congrats! i'm hoping to start family soon too. I have polycystic ovaries and have never been regular. I can go years without my period without being on medication. I too have the same worries as you! hopefully somebody can shed some light!

    congrats! I finally got to the last possible notch on my belt.... i have to buy a new one! yay for me!
  4. I eat really slowly. I actually have a timer on my phone and i take a small bite and chew for like a minute and wait 2 to 4 mns n between bites depending on what i'm eating ... i.e. soft foods, or solid foods. i chew very thoroughly and still get the burping. Even after drinking (but not during meals) The doctor says burping is normal but i dont feel its normal. I never burped like this preop. I'm hoping i'm not alone in this....
  5. Hi KoKo I had the same problem you did when i first got banded. All i can say is it will get better. The only thing my doctor told me to do was walk. And I did at all hours of the day into the night cuz i felt like I was gonna blow up!! I was also very constipated by the 4th day and that added to the discomfort. It was so painful to even walk anymore. I tried the milk of magnesia as well and didnt help. You have to drink a whole glass of Water right after the dose and being that you can only sip that didnt help. I had to succumb to the Dulcolax suppositories to relieve my constipation and within an hour i was feelign relief... The GAS X pills helped alot too the first week. Ive heard warm compresses on the abdomen also help relieve some of the gas. But try and walk as much as you can. The second week will get better. and so on. Good luck!
  6. Hello all. This is my first post. I was banded 8/15. Even though i haven't had my first fill i have lost about 40 lbs to date. With cardio exercise (treadmill 30 mns 5 -6 times a week) and the fear of PB, sliming, and vomiting I have managed to learn Portion Control. I eat about a cup of food, never only Protein, always including vegetables at every meal. I dont know if i can eat more for fear of pain and discomfort so i dont. But i do eat only when i get hungry, So everything has been coming along nicely.... except for the burping... I burp at all hours of the day, whether i eat or not, whether i drink or not, i just always burp. Sometimes i'm burping so excessively that i get slight discomfort at the back of my throat as if i had something stuck there, or like swelling. Sometimes i feel so uncomfy that if i'm sitting and i bend over and open my mouth a loud unforced burp will come up that usually brings some relief but few moments later i'm still swallowing spit and burping. AM I DEFECTIVE?!?! I also get the hiccups like others but i used to get those preband. They used to and still do come out of nowhere sometimes... If I could get rid of this belching i'd be a happy camper... Also really quick.. if i'm doing so good at my weight loss do I HAVE to get filled or will i eventually plateau and NEED a fill to get back on track? Thanks everyone for taking the time to read my long winded rant Ü
