men's fascination on their winkies

sip and sip and sip and sip more use your protein and free food guidelines for your stages and stay busy popsicles saved me

if you gonna munch choose protein/healthier options ..plan ahead... not that id know....

15 months, no sick, no vomit, no vomit...no problems for me go slow, small bites.......make good choices...some people just choose to wing it

very well said

like my friend dan, i chew alot, take wee bites and take my time and at 15 months post op, no issues what so ever with eating anything....i just now eat very different things

sorry to read your post all the best for you in the future

look at me in green (before) and me currently in black.... you have my answer to your question.

i must be (lucky or weird or both) there is nothing i cant eat...i just choose now not to eat some things as i now eat different than before...healthier proteins/veggies/fruit.. no issues with eating what so ever..i chew alot, take wee bites and go slow...reading before banding about stucks, slimes scared me enough to do what i am suppose to in order for that to not happen..knock wood so far.

if you are worried or concerned, please call your doctor and let them advise you....if need be, go in and have then check you and the band itself out under fluro to ease your mind....congrats on the weight loss btw...great job.

if you got the band, why would you want it removed? its not something to use, lose weight and then take out... any WLS will help and can give the patient better health and a longer life...but unless the person changes what they eat (from processed to better options) and also exercise and make a complete lifestyle change, no surgery will work...i agree with sharpie, research and ask alot of questions..if you get any WLS, it will take work and being consistent...its not overnight and its not a sure thing...as with all things, success varies by person...hoping you make the best decison for yourself. good luck and have a great day

the muscles were (cut) and sewn (larger incision) sounds like it was the scar tissue forming and gave you that sensation....as long as there is no blood, puss or heat when touching..i think you will be fine but always refer to your doctor if you are truly concerned....i am 15 months post op, and sometimes after step aerobics, i get a tender feeling....congrats on your surgery...just go easy

......as long as the hole is found is my comment......... winkie or not...and i believe batteries at walmart are on sale..... just saying......

aj texted me at work to come read this...

...and i missed all the fun for a freeking phone conference call at work???

if you are losing, then what is the issue? there is no problem....you lose quicker on liquid diets...you cant expect to lose 5 pounds a week all the time..its a journey, a process.. accept that a loss is a loss is a loss.....if you lose inches, you are losing weight..please accept that you are doing well....slow and steady weight loss is more likely to stay off.....

scales go up and down all day long.. heck you can pee or poop that out...and could be salt/water retention so drink alot....if you are losing inches you are losing weight....and that is what it is all about...you are doing great....focus on the big picture, not just what the scale showed one time...

i am 15 months post op no swallowing issues (i chew slow and alot and small bites) no coughing and no clots (they gave me a shot for two weeks after surgery to help prevent this) ....complications come with any medical procedure not just WLS....sometimes it happens and sometimes it dont who can say.......but if you research, follow your dr's instructions and do the best you can, you may just improve your health with wls...its not a sure thing and results will vary from person to person... best of luck

if no one wants that measly pound, ole girl here will take it......

reading your post made me think of the word b*itch NOT YOU but i made the words different bandie in total control of herself
