It depends on the person. I drink soda daily (1) and haven't had any issues. I know some do not handle it well.

I am not a teacher but when I get stressed my band gets tight. When I cry my band gets super tight

I have a very simple scale. its a health o meter but it matches my surgens scale every single time. Like I said though its not fancy.

I have mirena and so far no issues. I really like it

I have had the opposite experience with water. I need the water to get unstuck...either it helps bring it up or washes it down...depending restriction level

Dawn checking in at 172.6..

When I first woke up my ? Was "did they do it" lol

Dawn checking in at 174 again. I don't think ill ever make it out of the 170s..sigh

I was out walking the day after surgery. Walking very slowly but walking none the less lol

Sorry I'm late. Checking in at 174

I eat pizza about once a week and not thin crust either

I don't know. My dr told me no soda at all. I drink one per day for the caffiene. No problems as of yet

I am always very hungry the week before my period...the band has done nothing to help. I do eat a lot more during that week but it has no long term negative effects on my weight loss

I take a fiber supplement to help with that...works wonders. I take the cvs gummies but any kind will do

I was on hydrochlorthizide (sp)? And that was the best ever. I was on that due to high bp as well. Now since I've lost all this weight my bp has returned to normal and the drs arnt sure they wanna give me that pill. I plan to make an appt with my dr again to talk to him about this issue but I wanna try something in the meantime as we all know how long it can take to see our drs. Lol I do tend to have to much sodium in my diet so I know I need to watch that as well. I really do have a problem though. I can drink 5 or 6 bottles of water and never need to use the bathroom.

Does anyone know of any good otc water pill? My body holds so much water and I can't seem to get rid of it on my own. I have been trying dyurex (sp)? The last week or so and its not really helpful.

I liked the idea of the "adjustable band" I have a good friend who had gastric and she had many complications that continue till this day. She regrets it and always tells me she wish she had gotten lap band

I'm pretty sure it was all just water weight from eating to much sodium last week. I went back home for a funeral and it was all just ham and ham and yes...more ham lol

I am allowed to eat regular food the day of the fill. Then liquids for 24 hours and pureed food for 24 hours

Dawn checking in at 173.8!

4 months after I had my band placed my husband decided he wanted a divorce....idk y wls has any effect on marriages but maybe there is some truth to it
