called iplication or implication i had it in june and never looked back 100% recommend to anyone

just be yourself. no one is (upset) but you being banded just a week ago and asking about straws and eating solid food and now dumping and the list is continuing, just seems weird that you dont know these things and how to live with a band. i care you being well the rest i dont give a crap about if you are happy and healthy that is all i care about

just some posting alot of crazy things that make no sense.

sorry , but that is 100% incorrect please get your facts straight before some prebies or newbies actually believe some of the stuff you have been posting.: No Dumping Syndrome with the LAP-BAND® Rapid gastric emptying, or dumping syndrome, often occurs with gastric bypass surgery but not with LAP-BAND® Surgery. Dumping syndrome, an intolerance of sugars and some carbohydrates, happens when concentrated and undigested foods such as sweets enter the lower intestine (jejunum) too quickly. Symptoms of dumping include nausea, vomiting, cramping, dizziness, and weakness. Dumping syndrome does not occur with LAP-BAND®, but it is still best to avoid sweets in order to maximize weight loss and the nutritional value of your diet.

hyroid issues, possible pnuemonia......gosh girl, you need to take care of yourself....seems you have alot of issues and not just using straws and eating tuna from subway please if you are for real, take care of yourself and follow the dr's orders to the letter. i dont want newbies or prebies to think of this or any WLS as a joke. none of the LBT friends/members on here are rude or trying to be mean. just really tired of dealing with BS trolls and people who make sh** up. hope you are feeling better.

i asked my surgeon that very thing (am i getting the lapband or realize) he stated he used the lapband. i figured since he was my surgeon, he would know what was best for me. i am sure there are different reasons/issues why either or is used. but i guess, its up to the dr you have (as tom stated).

def take the tylenol and it wouldnt hurt to jingle your dr just to keep them in the know if it gets worse, id advise to go directly to dr. all the best

all hail queen jean......... :wub:

yeah i know i am sweet and gorgeous to boot call and get them on the phone and dont hang up until you are satisfied with the answers

what a great attitude i love it you got this, and with the help of a great hubby and us on this forum (including me), we wont let you stray. you can do this

my doctor uses the lapband not sure why, but if he feels it is the best choice, that works for me (as he knows best)

that sucks to be sick just after major surgery (what a horrible thing) my heart hurts for you just keep them informed regardless (of what they say). dr enochs office knows i will call or come in (any time) i feel i need to and i have no problem calling to ask a question so you do that also. this is you. and its the only one you got

I cannot rely on my own free will.----- those are your words. they are incorrect. you must rely on your free will and change your thinking. its not will power you are after but WANT power. if you want something, do what you have to do in order to make it happen. dont focus on the surgery. go day by day or hour by hour. but as long as you go, you will get there hang in there and know you are not alone this forum is a great place to come too for support/understanding

my bmi was just into the 60's i think anyone who wants to lose weight with the band must realize the band is only a 3inch plastic band that goes around your stomach and will help you feel fuller with smaller amounts (its up to the person to change what and how much they eat) sure there are banders who drink/eat slider foods high in calories and fat and then wonder why they are not losing weight? same with eating processed/high salt foods and again are shocked the scale is not moving its def a you either want to lose weight or you dont eating more calories than you burn off (whether you are emotional, a grazer, a snacker or a midnight raider) is the same.

your body just had major surgery and the insides are healing. why would you (want to cheat?) cheating on diets is what got people to need WLS surgery in the first place. the put you on liquids to (help) with this process. sure you get hungry (drink Protein and all the other items on your list they gave you. i was on a 2 week pre and post op and it was hard but cheating on it was not an option as i wanted this surgery and told myself if the insurance approved it, i was gonna do everything i could to make this a success. also, cheating on it could prove damaging to your health. its just for a couple more days, you wont starve. sounds like you are healing nicely as you are getting your appetite back. i would suggest not to get off course from your doctors orders. just my opinion but the dr's do know what they are doing and its not worth it to (cheat) just because you are hungry. hang in there (sip sip sip protein if you are hungry, that is your fuel until you are off liquids).

hey GF, wouldnt hurt to call the dr's office (and speak to a nurse) to let them know what is going on...hope you are feeling better we had 3 people out here at work with a nasty, nasty (cold/flu/virus) so be careful.

you wouldnt be (dying) that is your mental thinking. if you wanted this surgery (you would do what you had to do) in order to get it. you are very much stronger than you know have a great day

doing great, down 62+ since my surgery, and like you, no fills i am full after about 4 oz of food but dont eat over a cup at any time i am incredibly happy i got my life back

i am now at at 52 or 51 but each day we get better:) hang in there

when i had surgery, my bmi as 61 so you not alone

sounds like fun, best of luck on your post op

well yes and no (but this is only my opinion) you really should follow the doctors orders in regards to eating so you can heal but you ate what you did and its most likely already gone..i like that the chicken was ate as that is Protein but def could have done better without the rice and well we wont talk about the sodium...but that is just me. you were recently banded and still are healing inside. i am sure you are okay. stressing about it now wont solve anything. just continue on your path and keep up the great work

well said scorr i couldnt agree more with what you wrote (those miniature candies are wonderful (nothing wrong with having one a day if you want)..and salt, id def go for pretzels..(those rods are so good)
