March 19 I Was Banded
yellowrose88 replied to 333jamilee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Walk for the gas pain! I know it is the worst but walking really does help. You may want to change from gummy to liquid or even childrens chewables. I had problems taking the gummies at first but I can take them now (banded 2/3/12). The gummy seems to stick together and that could be a problem when trying to pass through the band. Congrats and Good Luck on a new you!!! -

Drinking While Eating?!
yellowrose88 replied to bandedgorJESS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here is another reason not to drink while eating. If you don't chew your food well and something gets stuck the first thing you will do is grab a drink. This will only make it worse because. I have not experienced this but this is what my doctor told me. It was difficult at first but I just don't bring a drink to the table anymore. -
Anybidy Else Having Trouble Peeing?
yellowrose88 replied to Mnt4ever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you drinking plenty of water? If so I would call your doctor. Good Luck!! -
Couple of questions: Are you eating slowly and chewing your food well? Are you eating your protein first?

Make sure you tell them you are nauseated. They will give you something. This happened to me and they put something in my IV and the feeling went away immediately.

Congrats and good luck! I am in Dallas. -
It is totally normal to feel anxious. I think everyone does. My appoinment was scheduled first thing in the morning and I was called back within minutes and before you know it you are getting your cocktail and then waking up. You will be fine just keep yourself busy and not ponder on it too much. It it worth! Good luck!!

February Bandsters?
yellowrose88 replied to mrsmyers2010's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow I will be going to the fill station. Can't wait to see what they have to say. I didn't have a fill at my first appointment so it should be interesting. Also can't wait to update my ticker with my new weight loss. Hope everyone has a great week! -
I'm back from vacation! I had a great time and I did pretty well while away from home. I have a fill appointment tomorrow so I'll see just how well I did.

How Did You Tell People?
yellowrose88 replied to lbugher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My SO was very supportive and nervous at the beginning. Just be honest and let your SO know exactly what you are feeling. -
I will be headed to South Carolina tomorrow. This will be my first road trip since being banded. It will be interesting trip but hopefully my husband will drive most of the way and I can sleep. I don't want to be tempted to snacking. I just want to keep with my three set meals a day. I know once we arriving in SC I will be fine. I'm just worried about the actual drive there and back. Wish me luck!

My first mashed potatoes were awesome! Our diets sound pretty much the same with the cream soup and yogurt. I added avocados because they were just as awesome as the potatoes. You can also eat baby food. Also so you don't eat too fast put your fork down for a least a minute before you take another bite. Good luck moving forward!

I don't think you are eating to much. I myself do not any sort of bread so no tortilla and I don't not eat any chips. I only eat 3 meals a day and nothing else except for Protein shakes. I have only been banded for 6 weeks as of today and have lost about 28lbs. Do you exercise?

Is This Normal?? 3-Days Post-Op
yellowrose88 replied to kr8160311's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
it is normal. My doctor told me over and over sip sip sip sip... I have always been a heavy water drinker and use to gulp it down. It is a mental thing I also think as soon as I pick up the water, sip sip sip. It will get easier hey you are only 3 days post op.
