what does your post op surgery instructions say? if its mushy go soft...and chew alot and go slow..

remind me not to call you a b***h

this is off nags head, nc

we did hugo back in the day when we were in sc.....no fun and total respect

reading my mind...........

i feel bad for the ones farther up the coast.......

well, i would love to say my desk job makes me eat more or that my pms time makes me eat more but in reality, its my right hand that brings the food to my mouth to eat...not anything else. like you, i get hungry too but you gotta work this band to make it work. if you are hungry, eat but eat good, healthy food and do not make excuses to eat junk food....thats why we got the band in the first place....

now that is funny i knew i liked you BB

it will have to work its way out..i hate to say that to you...mine started about day 4 to 8 or 9 i found hot showers on my shoulder felt so good it will get better, i promise

my dr said for me to do chewable gas x i wasnt very mobile due to my size but walked as much as i could but it worked its way out the only way it could........you know.....

both can and both does and both will

if one follows their dr's instructions and listen to their body's for signs of something wrong what else can one do?..... things happen. all surgeries have complications. the band can fail or whatever. some people have problems and some dont bitching to each other about whose right or wrong and spewing hogwash solves nothing. each of us are different and each of us have different dr's and we all just gotta do what we intended to do when we had this surery get well/healty and lose weight. maddy, you can call me sweetheart anytime.

let me say that this forum is a godsend to me there is another forum that chewed my happy (never never land) butt up and spit it out.. why? how come? because i had the nerve to say i was getting banded... someone referenced snide remarks to the newbies or prebies let me say....far be it from me to judge ANYONE. and if anyone thinks i have or am.....my apologies here and now. i am one of the big bmi's. yepper...the biguns you all read about. and id kill to have only to lose what some do (the lower bmi's). this does not give me the right to cast judgement or be a ass to them. i do however say, if i feel they are not following their dr's instructions (or suggestions) that they should be. you damn right. why go through all of this to just (eat some pie a few days out and say it was soft so what is the big difference) take care of your body take care of your body eat good foods no food is off limits but sometimes some foods just not need to ate eating those foods in the past made us need WLS so eat what you want but dont blame the band and say its not working ...i have to hold myself accountable to me and my dr ONLY sure i can come here and say i eat lettuce only... are you serious?...i have lap band surgery, apparently i had trouble eating in my history. i promised myself to be open (100%) and honest in all that i have/encounter with this band/plication new life journey. that includes TMI info at times and the good and the bad....... this forum has some good/great people i am honored to know them and encourage them and have them help/support me. i will always help anyone i will never say told you so or see what you done..... i will however be firm in saying you need to follow the rules: eat right eat healthy choices exercise (do what you can with what you have) make no excuses follow your dr's orders (follows ups) if something is not right---call the dr dammit (hate seeing posts that say should i call dr).....if you are thinking it, then you should.. well, please note i respect and adore any and all who have had this surgery please do what you need to do to get well if you keep doing what you always done (and needed surgery because you are fat/obese) then you will remain just that. and that goes for me too.

deedeee...........maddy is now saying p word..............i am so telling

you all can pull me in this..

a pic of maddy and aj...........

well not really..i know of a few who had to do a month liquids post op sux that its that long. i had 2 week post all liquid, then mushy, then soft and then as i could tolerate and fyi, i was using your thread to reinforce to whomever, to follow your dr's orders and its vital was not saying you would. if you thought that, sorry congrats on your surgery. your going to do great

id say to follow your dr's instructions as they are in place for a reason. all dr's are different and have different post ops. yeah, its hard to think how long the post op is, but if you eat too soon, you could hurt your healing. best just to do what anyones dr suggests. ones health is worth more than a bite of food.

i dont think there is nothing i cant have or are is considered off limits... i just choose to eat better quality foods i just chew alot, take very small bites and eat slow.

your dr and ins company is most likely the ones to answer your question the best

* *love you shr*

mine was (remember they put gas into your tummy to blow it up to do the surgery.. it's gotta come out worwork its way out......congrats on surgery
