I also had to post pone my surgery but had it soon after better safe than sorry.

Sometimes the resuratant give the senior discount which has smaller ants of food but not kiddie food with nuggets ect. B

Get your shopping done I bought gas x strips. Btl water ,premier protein drinks 30 gram protein at SAMs club only , special k protein mix. Greek yogurt/ cream soups for later. Broth, pop sickles auger free. I got my pain and nausea meds on way hm. I had hot pack and ice packs ready I used hp on left my port side laying on right side and ice prn on stomach Lots of pillows on bed to find comfortable place. Hope this helps. Good luck to all of you!

You sound like you might be ready. Read lots of post understanding the good/ bad and sometimes ugly can help you be prepared to succeed with the band. It's important to have your mind in the right place Good luck. Byw I love my band.

I had my doubts. I had fears that I wouldn't succeed and would look bad because I failed again I still have to work at this it's still a diet although I thing of it as change of life style like an alcoholic In a way I still get to part take in my drug but I cannt hang out at bar or in my case the fast food place. I still have to fight to push back fears. But wow. Is it easier!!! I'm sooo happy I did this. It gave me the confidence I needed.

Truth be told I would gotten the band at 160. If I could have then I wouldn't have put my body through so much. That's me though. And of course it's not allowed at that wt. I wonder some times if stars don't find away to do it out of states??

I have had one every now and then. I drink it slow haven't had any problem. Maybe different for others

Thanks this helped after a couPle of try's

My app just went black nothing?? I have iPhone downloaded it today it was working but now nothing opens to black screen?

Could be your full signal but would check with your reg or lb dr to make sure since it can be sign of many things

FYI. Pretty fonts are very hard to read on phones. I use my phone mostly and can not read some of post due to pink/ purple ect hand writing fonts.

It's sometimes a sign of over fill. I also had this feeling and I have had some purging after eating. My dr said to keep going back to soft food im 2 wks Now and have good restriction but still careful of what I eat Waiting between bites. And finding that food I ate before fill longer agree with me.

I THINK. That alot of other WLS people have either failed at lb or have listened to others that have failed. Lb isn't easy you and I knw you have to work at.

I have only lost about 2 1/2 lbs in weeks but have lost 2 1/3 inch in waist So things are shifting. Ha. I have been being very carful following 1200 a day cals. But was unable to exercise due to foot surgery. I now have full wt beating on my foot and can start walking slowly. Yay. Hopefully this will kick up my wt loss!!! I was also cleared to go back to work where I walk and lift a lot.

The restaurant should be held liable the state in their names prior knw of risks. I have been shocked at some items in restaurant menus one is a vegetable omelet at Ihop is around 1200 cals they put pancake batter in their omelets. I thought all restaurants had to post cals somewhere or provide a list of cals. I'm going to check at next place I visit

My band did get tighter. I flew short distance then drove. I think it was more to do with going from sea level to mountain level there is a big change in pressure between the two. I had to eat soft foods while gone. I sure if I had stayed there I would have assimilated.

I used benifiber powder in my drinking water. Be careful though. Some people including me end up having a day or two of going too much

I traveled I'm car from sea level to mountain level and my band got very tight. Glad you are going to dr hope all goes we'll. Let us know?

Nsv!!!! Good job!!

Congrats. I was band same day I've loss 2 inches in waist. Would love to be where you are. I'll be able to start exerciseing next month so hope it will start coming off then.

. Are you going to have iPhone app?

Has anyone on here been banded over 5 yrs if so how are you doing? Any problems ?

I too would check with another Dr. If he says 7cc then 5. You may have a leak if I understood your post correctly. Everyone is different but we all were told high protein diet after the band. The protein is key to several things. Longer feeling of fullness, healing from surgery, and to decrease muscle loss over fat loss. It is a lot of work still Good luck hope you figure it out

I feel like getting banded is best thing I have done for myself. I knew going in that there are some side effects. I have gas pains ,burping, and since my first fill a I have purged some food. Learning I don't think of any of this as neg.s. it's just new parts of my life. I feel very happy I'm starting to lose wt again after fill and so happy to be restricted with 2 cc/s. I love my tight band. Cannt wait to be able to get back to gym.
