I feel something when I bend over but when I come back up it feels like it adjust maybe not popping I just try not to bend that way. Only when I bend from the sides. I thought it was normal? It's not?

Hey Tray never be sorry for venting. That would be kinda frustrating for me too. All of my friends are skinny mini but are so supportive of me. My bestie is naturally a size 2 and she is so gorgeous however she is now pregnant and I joke around with her while Im losing my weight your will be gaining it and I love it lol. I say if your happy be happy and do what you want to do and dnt listen to you friends. I can't wait for that day i can go into a store and not have to ask where are the bigger sizes or have to pay extra becuz its a 2xl. My work clothes are starting to get real loose on me and I love it. It feels great. 7cc that sounds like a lot are you still eating mushies? What exercises are you doing? When did you start buying new clothes? Im so happy for you!!! Congrats on all your weight loss. And whenever you feel like venting or ranting about anything and everything we are here for you.....

Hey Twin yes I have 3 days of each but today I was able to eat something real and still had yogurt for breakfast and mashed potatos for lunch and 2 protein shakes but for dinner I made myself a turkey lettuce wrap. It was so good and so filling. I made another one 4 lunch tomorrow. I CAN'T have any bread, rice or pasta my dr told me NEVER! Its really sad but I have to do what I have to do. Doesn't mean I can't act like a brat and throw a tantrum about it lol. As far as carbonated drinks they told me not to becuz it can cause alot of extra gas in my tummy and make me uncomfortable. My dr wants to c me back in 2 weeks to check my incision but didn't say to much about a fill. How much are you paying for your fills?? Is it just a co pay or is it free? I think mine said I was still global whatever that means so it was no charge YAY. Haven't really been consistent on the exercise thing. I have been getting light headed when starting my work out. I have been trying to take it easy and ease into it. Hope your doing good....

Oh wow! Well 1st off I appreciate reading about ppl exp with certain drugs whether it be otc or rx. Nobody on here is a dr and we know we should check with our dr they are just trying to help. Plus it's a forum you can post whatever you want. Just because you dnt think it's right doesn't mean everyone else feels the same. And I would be glad to take some advice from Elcee anyday......

Congrats on getting banded!!!!

Hey Twin when did your dr say it would be a good time to go back for another fill?

Hey Tray congrats on your weight loss thats AWESOME!!!! No more plus size clothes for you... What is your fav food to eat? I dnt have a problem with lettuce yet but I have really only had it once. What r you doing for exercise?

Yes Twin baby daddy has something coming for him... Im doing this for me but going to love to show it off when Im done with the new me... They rubbed something on my tummy to numb but still felt a pinch. Im on mushies now but from Friday to today I have lost 5lbs so Im hoping this is a good sign. I actually had a string cheese today just to see if Im able to eat it, it went down with no problem i chewed until nothing was there. Guess what I was full and satisfied after 1... I was like wow. But so far so good. Im not really sure what a stuck feeling feels like yet and I don't have ne foods I can't eat yet besides bread, rice and pasta...... no bueno still dealing with that break up. But as far as soda becuz I was a huge dr pepper fan, I dnt even crave it anymore so thats good.

Hey Tray how ya been? When were you banded? Im glad your doing ok sorry to hear about being so restricted? Has the scale been good to you? How r you doing on your exercise? HAPPY 1 MONTH BANDIVERSARIES MARCH 23RD PPL!!!!!!

Hey Twin the scale has been behaving pretty good haven't lost that much weight but I haven't gained any either. But thats about to change I was cleared for exercise so I need to kick this weight off. I need to get in2 kick boxing or something I have alot of aggression due to my baby daddy lol. He's such a jerk. I dnt really talk to him becuz he's mean. So I using his words as motivation so it has been working for me. He wnt b able to call me fat names anymore. So since my pre-op on 3-20 I have lost 23 lbs and counting. How have you been doing? What are your fav foods to eat? I find myself eating real food once a day and then rest is snacks or portein shakes. I think im just scared. Maybe I should see my dietician?

Hey Manda I do suffer from anxiety and have been for many years. Unlike you I take medication to control panic attacks however since being banded I have not taking any medication or needed it for that matter, I was banded on 3-23-12 and have been doing good. Exercising helps me also. Congrats on getting banded!!! I worked myself up right b4 my surgery and then afterwards I was like I worked myself for nothing. But I do understand it's the fear of the unknown. you dnt know how you will be or feel. But that's y this website is here to help you and for support. If you have any questions or you need to vent or freak out just come on here and do it. If you have any questions or just wanna talk message me...Good luck

Now im on 3 day liquid diet and then mushy's for another 3 days and the real food with restrictions. My dr said be prepared to lose some weight now. Im so stoked.....

Hey Twin well here's how it went for me.... Dr requires me to bring a bottle of water. Then he rub something on tummy and all I felt was a little pinch and it was over in 2 sec well it seemed like 2 sec then it was off to get an xray. After that you have to drink the water to make sure it goes down ok. then you done. Nothing to worry about your going to do great and I think it will def give you the restrictions your wanting. He said I can come back in like 3-4weeks.

Ok so everything went great. I got my 1st fill 3cc in 11cc band. Im super excited and maybe a little light headed. Dr said my incision looks better he wants to keep me on antibiotics for 10 more days becuz it's still infected but not as bad as it was. Dr said im cleared for cardio just no tummy exercises which i get. He also said I should start losing alot more weight now. I go back in 2 weeks for a check up on my infection. How is everyone else doing?

Hey everyone hope everyone is doing great. Im doing btr my incision is still infected there's not pain thank goodness but it doesn't look pretty. I have been doing good eating still a little nervous about eating so I only really have real food once a day everything else is a snack or yogurt or protein shake. So tomorrow is my 1st fill kinda of excited. Im hoping my incision being infected doesn't stop me from getting it either. Hope everyone has a great ni gth.....

So tomorrow is the day my first fill. My incision is still infected so i hope I get 1. Then my dr request me being on a 3 day liquid diet. Hoping everything goes ok.

I use bio oil it works like a charm. I used it my whole pregnancy and on my c-section scar.

Add me on mfp CurlyQ1095

Yes Twin i called the dr to tell them about it leaking like it has been and they told me that it's my body pushing the infection out. So im hoping it get btr fast. Yes I agree with you about the scars as soon as everything heals im going to start putting bio oil on my scars thats what I did when i was prego with my son on my stretch marks it did help. But as far as my scars im going to look crazy all marked up I already have a c-section scar. Im hoping once I get to my goal weight i want to get a really pretty and personal tattoo saying on my rib cage. Something like unbreakable or something. My older sister has a scar on her tummy where they took her gall bladder out it kinda looks like mine and it has faded and not very noticeable so hopefully we should be good.

Hey Larch thank you so much for the helpful tips. I wrote them down in my food journal. I have my 1st fill on 4-20 kinda nervous considering my incision has gotten infected so bad that my dr had to call in a antibiotic for me to take for 10 days. So im hoping that I have healed by then....

Hey Twin yeah it's bumming me out. I checked with the Pharmacy and that med doesn't come in a liquid form. And now my incision went from leaking green stuff to soaking my bandage so Im having to change it more often it's annoying. Although the pain is not really there anymore I still have trouble bending and the only exercise I have been cleared for is walking. Im forcing myself to eat something even when Im not hungry just so I can take my medicineugh. Im not the kind of person to complain alot and this has turned me into one of those ppl. Im trying my best to stay positive but all i can think is that im getting a fill in a week I hope I can still get it and my incision heals fast. p.s. I ate a super thin crust pizza well a slice and half it was like heaven in my mouth. It filled me up and satisfied my craving. It was like a reward for my tummy for doing such a good job for the past 3 weeks. Im not going to do that all the time but I sure am glad I did it. After I ate my job and others were sponsoring this thing called relay for life for cancer it's on a highschool track and it's an all night walk. I went to it and walked for 2 hours it felt great.....

Seanta I know what you mean about the chocolate i dnt know if your on the mushy stage yet but there is chocolate pudding that is so good and sugar free or whipped mousse pudding 60 calories they are both really good and a replacement for snicker s or cookies. Thats awesome about getting a gym membership and starting zumba I want to do that so bad but I want a buddy to go with me. I wished you guys lived closer....

I hope I get over this soon it's got me in this funk....
