Not wise to be on solid food so fast. You need to let the surgery area heal. -
The photos were amazing! I hope your insurance helps you re-open!

Good reminder Alex.

Sounds like a tad bit too much. Hiccups is a sign things are not going down well. I would go back for a slight unfill. It often takes very little out to make a huge difference.

So sorry, I had a major house fire years ago, and lost everything, but it was pre-band. Be good to yourself. It is a major shock to the system! Best wishes.

Salmon in white rice, mashed potatoes and two Desserts. I called them on it in my remarks! LOL Told them all to use LBT not OH!

The dreaded BM talk
CHEZNOEL replied to cole&matt'smom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never got any relief from MOM, ducolax or benefiber. I am now on DAILY half dose Miralax. It also helps if you walk at least 2 miles a day. -
Warm and fuzzy it is!

Plication is when the surgeon folds the rounded portion of the stomach in on itself and then stitches it together. The result is a banana shaped stomach. It involves no cutting away of stomach tissue, and test results have shown that when done in addition to the band that weight loss results approach the levels of the Gastric bypass, without cutting. I have been very happy with mine. It is all done at the the same time.

First month completed and still confused
CHEZNOEL replied to Linda H. Garden Grove's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good advice Dawn... You must take small bites and chew thoroughly. Think pinkie nail size. We got used to stuffing in and swallowing to get to this point, but that eating style is no longer possible. Good luck, just small bites and chew, chew, chew. Liquids for the rest of your life would be no fun at all!. -
Carbonated drinks? Are they really that bad?
CHEZNOEL replied to Harrier's Woman's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If it is the flavor... Shake them up, and let them go flat before drinking. -
That is very high in carbs, so you are unlikely to enter ketosis. Look for shakes that have far less carbs, and more Protein.

How long will I probably need to be out of work?
CHEZNOEL replied to Krista74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely need longer for heavy lifting to prevent stuff from straining in side. -
How do you respond to people who say "You're Not big enough to need surgery?"
CHEZNOEL replied to dolphintattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just laugh and tell them they have not seen me naked! -
Great idea... thanks Alex.
