fast food doesnt make me sick..i just dont care anymore....i am enjoying wearing smaller clothes and being more mobile and love having my hub having trouble keeping his hands off me that those little things help keep my mental attitude on straight..

well just ask the dr and or nurse and demand to know if you truly want to know i read my chart and asked my dr on my first 2 week post op..

i you are in (intense) pain as you say, you def need to call and or go to the dr and tell them what you just wrote having this majority surgery will cause pain and it is uncomfortable..i was very sore for a couple weeks but at two weeks out, i was back at work and moving on.....you poor thing..feel better and tell your dr

are you regretting because your hungry and your sore? if so, please understand it will get better...pre and post op are tough, there is no doubt about it.....i dont know whom comes into this and think its a cake walk...i have read one or two who are fine but for the majority, its difficult..keep sipping and resting and move about as much as you can...this is and was a wonderful thing you had done, once you start feeling better, you will realize it also..congrats on your surgery

you are still very swollen...so continue to get in as much as you can.sip and sip and sip some more..its vital to stay hydrated and the protein feeds your body so do as best you can..as the days past, the swelling goes down, its easier to drink and then eat....do the best you can

hub and me cook out at least 6 days a week we eat chicken and beef.....nothing like smelling food on a grill i advise to eat slow.. eat your allotted amounts and eat what you like, good quality foods and enjoy..dont over think it...food.. summer, friends, bbq'ing is meant to be enjoyed

you are worthy you are beautful when someone says something that is a compliment smile and say thank you

hm. i dont know if it was me, id call and get my dr's opinion i sure hope you feel better

this is so weird as about 330 today, i had one of these little 100 cal packs... yummy and tastes good (this is an every so often food for me)

best of luck to you..

i didnt see a category for surgeon being handsome as i would have picked that one... but def to me, knowing he had done these surgeries before, (me researching him) licensed etc and that his office staff was a helpful prior as they are after (as i found out) also helped me make the decision...but i also chose him as that is whom my ins said to use which was good enough for me.

must agree with mis and gram as i also feel the and itself is inside us, under skin, fat etc when i first got my port, i couldnt feel it because was so obese..the more i lose, i can feel it..and its sorta visible...and its neat putting my hand on it and feeling it when i walk...i call it little buddy good luck at the dr

the only fear i had was getting bigger (and not being able to buy clothes in my size).......that fear led me to have the WLS and do what they told me to do in order to lose weight....dont be scared....this is your life that you are taking charge of. very proud of you.

well good for you honey

to gain weight, we must eat more calories than we burn off that is how i got super morbid obese. (even when i was just eating a wee salad, it was the huge amounts of the stuff that came out of the bottle that was not very good) or a baked potato (oops dont count the butter and gobs of sour cream etcc) and to a point that i could hardly walk. after surgery, i could barely walk (5 feet) without giving out or fear of a heart attack...so just be eating better foods, in smaller amounts (thank you band) you can lose weight..eat lots of lean Proteins, veggies and fruit and drink alot...and you will lose weight..

yup yup yup, seeing a nutritionist who can explain the better types of foods to eat and maybe help you understand the amounts..some doctors are different although eating 1/4 cup seems small, you may want to confirm with your doctor.. grammy was right, all about if you want to lose weight and get healthy or not.. there is nothing wrong with you...you choose to eat junk/easy/slider foods....you have to make up your mind to choose to eat better foods and the amounts that is required. for the band to work, you must help the band. good for you for exercising...you just need to eat to lose weight...no food is off limits and when its my birthday in nov, i hope to have a bit of cake but for now, its all lean proteins, veggies and fruit and drinking alot.....and a bunch of want power.

could be eating too fast, too big of bite or your bands sign of saying, we had enough and stop eating,,,,,,happens to me also

i agree with T as going to the dr (post op) on a regular basis is vital..this will help the dr (in turn) help you and answer any/all questions you have..you have done well on your loss so far....congrats.

happy friday sharon and LOVE all your posts and find myself looking for it when i first come to lapband talk every day.....

what a great post how refreshing to read (positive) for a change.. its all you GF.. me and this whole lapband forum is so proud of you. YOU are the queen today....happy 1 yr anniversary dear

no kick (dont wanna hurt my pedicure polish) only sending lots of love..you can do it...just begin (again). we all have the ups and downs,,its life..so put a smile on that pretty face, strap them high heels on and shoulders back..and get on with it

i like your comment to this post alot.... and its true (in regards to wanting to eat better foods and asking for help)..i dont have any fills but the band/plication does restrict me. my dr told me some people have restriction with the band alone and some dont..i guess with all things, it varies.
