Japaneese Steakhouse
CHEZNOEL replied to LizAndrews's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tough on non solids... I took shakes with me to drink while my dinner partner ate. They never minded. -
Are you also constipated, that can sometimes show up as more gas. I also seem to have more, but I am always constipated unless a eat fresh peaches every day. Tough to do in the late fall and winter!

I Can Finally See It!! Welcome To The 200's
CHEZNOEL replied to Thamm's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations to both of you! Great feeling and great success! -
So sorry to hear about the second surgery. We wish you well, and continued success afterward. Bummer!

I know that the doctors want us, the patients, to do the heavy lifting, but if you can eat more than 1 cup and get hungry in less than3 hours, it sounds like a fill might help. The caution is to expect all the work to be done by the fills. This is a life style change and it is going to go on for the rest of your life. Plead your case and show the facts! Good Luck!

Good luck next time... Keep trying and buy chili powder! LOL.. Also... there is such a thing as white chicken and turkey chilis! Don't worry about the color!

Steroids are notorious for bloating. Don't panic, I agree with Missy's advice. Drink lots of fluids! -
Stuck, Slipped, Or Normal - Am I Fighting Myself?
CHEZNOEL replied to JimR915's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hard to tell what the right answer is. It could be a lot things. I would carefully watch bite size and chewing time. I got a little sloppy at the one year mark and had similar problems. -
Commit to change your life, not just your diet. Eat what was prescribed on your pre-op and find other things to do with your mind. Start a new hobby, walk around the block, drink SF drinks to fill you up! You can do it, we have all been where you are now! Your health is the most important thing you can give yourself!

Should I Be Worried?
CHEZNOEL replied to Banditiff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The rash could be a reaction to the sticky in the steri-strips. I would definitely check in the the doc today. -
Congrats on your loss and good luck with your fill. Doctors vary, so ask yours what you should eat immediately after a fill. Mine is liquids for 24 hours, then soft food for 24 hours and back to regular meals. Yep... 25 pounds can make a huge difference!
-
Sound like time for a fill.
-
Consistency for me!
-
Talk to the doctors about your situation. We cannot help with complex medical questions, it just would not be fair to you for us to guess or speculate.
-
Sounds as if you could be a bit too tight. I would check in the doctor.

Is Anyone Else Having This Problem?
CHEZNOEL replied to Banditiff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc had me on 2 oz of protein shake at the top of every hour, and sipping other liquids the rest of the hour. If you do that all day. you will get all the protein you need during this recovery phase. -

Brand New To The Lap Band World.
CHEZNOEL replied to jamisamples's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Everyone has different skin, some more elastic than others. I would wait until the weight loss progresses and see. Most people will have some extra skin, but it sure beats too much fat! -
My guess would be dehydration as well. Could also be positional blood pressure changes if you are sitting a lot.

I agree with AJ.

Question About How The Band Physically Works
CHEZNOEL replied to audreycat123's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Most bites you chew properly will sit in the band for less than 1 minute, which is why many docs recommend waiting between bites. It all moves down to the stomach, just slower. The point is that it can trigger you filling full faster. Slider foods pass right through, so have little effect on satiety. Ice cream is not a good food in general, high calorie, high fats, low Protein.
