I FINALLY understand "bandsters hell!"
CHEZNOEL replied to koolkel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear you have discovered Bandster Hell. We have all been there, and yes, it is more work than most ever imagine. Hence my signature line. It is just a tool, you do the work. Never let anyone tell you that you took the "easy" way out! You have my permission to smack em up side the head, and you may want to! LOL -
Happy Easter to you as well. And Spring... Hurry up!

Dont understand whats going on.
CHEZNOEL replied to mechelle80's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Emotional is not unusual. Hang in there, you will soon be on the road to recovery! -
I agree with Maddysgram, smaller amounts, and don't lie down right after eating. Call you doctor if this continues. Many put some fill in the band when it is first placed, and yours could be too tight with swelling.

Amen! Happy Easter Sharon.

First experience with scrambled eggs
CHEZNOEL replied to nicolelmartinez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Even scramble eggs get chewed. One is enough for me! Enjoy introducing real foods back into your diet, but take it slow and don't forget to chew it mush. Keep your fluids up as well. Doing good... Keep it up! -
I survived my first dinner lol

Major accomplishment! Good for you! -
Met my Surgeon and Office Staff
CHEZNOEL replied to KarenElaine's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Cutting down carbs to that level will probably entail eating nothing white. Bread, rice, pasta, potatoes especially. Are you also on a liquid diet? If so make sure your protein shakes are low carbs. Some are not. Good luck. The work is worth it in the end! -
Question for those who been banded for awhile...
CHEZNOEL replied to Anume 937's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I don't use a straw. Doc said not to and I said yes sir! -
You sound stuck to me.

I averaged 600-700.

I had the sx, but it is all about his diet - venting
CHEZNOEL replied to vickisgrey's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Men are insensitive at times. Tell him you need his support. Congratulate him on his success and tell him you want to lose with him! Be proud of every pound. Everyone loses differently. Make sure you are weighing or measuring your portions and feel satisfied after a meal. If not, contact you surgeon and discuss a fill with them. -
Happy Easter Sharon, and thanks for the great Easter quote. Blessings to you and your family!

How long after surgery will I be bed ridden?
CHEZNOEL replied to hockeymother's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hopefully not at all. The quickest way to recover is to be up and around. You may sit and rest in a recliner, I was only in bed to sleep. -
Strong gas pains the worst, but none of it is as bad as your imagination may tell you! Try to relax and you will be fine!
-
The airplane is pressurized so you should feel no affect on the band while flying. Skiing at high altitude may be different story. Take ti slow and you will be fine. I have never felt tight on any flight including 8 hour ones!

Barium Esophogram (hope i spelled it right) lol
CHEZNOEL replied to Longislander's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Who cares about spelling? We get the message! You are getting back on track! That is the important part! Best wishes to you! Come back if you need support. You can do it if you WANT to! -
Freaking out a little
CHEZNOEL replied to MissManders's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Allergies can definitely affect the band. Start the morning with warm liquid... teas or hot chocolate, and then progress to mushy. Keep the bite sizes small!- 1 reply

I no longer feel my band? Should I be worried?
CHEZNOEL replied to Suzzie81498's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like the heal9ing cycle is progressing nicely. Things are as they should be. You should not be able to feel the band, just the restriction when eating and that may not come at first until you have had a few fills. Just eat the right stuff in the right portions. You are doing fine! -
Sounds good to me. I love cream of chicken and cream of celery!

I am 50 and i have my appt. with surgeon 4/19. Am i too old?
CHEZNOEL replied to buckeyegirl4's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I will turn 64 in 3 days. Had my surgery 17 months ago. Best decision I ever made for myself. Many off the folks on here are your age or older. Keep faith. If you want it, go for it, but be prepared to work for it! -
Normal banded weight loss?
CHEZNOEL replied to Hip2bFITT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Weight loss is a cycle. Over the long haul if you are exercising and eating the right amount of the right foods you will lose. Don't lose faith. -
Nope... Sounds dangerous to me.
-
Add oatmeal to the ensure! LOL You will get the hang of it!
-
I think it is dangerous to do the fills yourself. Too easy to pick up an infection.
