congrats!!!

Hey all i wanted to share that i reached my first mini goal since surgery (4/18). i was always exercising and dieting before the band..i would loose 25 and just stop loosing at a certain number..no matter what i ate and how hard i worked out...i even thought i had something wrong with me b/c i could not get the scale to move in a year...gave up and i all came back hense the reason for lapband....that being said today i finally am one pound below that weight that wouldnt budge!! feels great to beat that scale for once...so far ive lost 33lbs and i now im on to the next goal!

Congrats!!

Hi scooby..yes i experienced the same thing...i explained as a cramping feeling u get when u eat and the swim...i waited like three days and saw the dr who sent me for ultrasound and i found out i had small gallstones n gallbladder will have to come out...the pain stopped ironically the same day and i havent had it since. My doc said if i have another attack i would have to have it removed. I was also a week post op and just didnt want to do surgery again...hope u feel better!

Im still on the soft stage and i am noticing that i am getting hungry at least an 1 1/2 hours after a meal. I think its cause swelling is gone and we r loosing weight. I already had 6cc put in 10cc band on surgery day. Cant wait for a fill!

I had my surgery on april 18th. Thw first week i had a xouple episodrs of diarreah so i took some imodium. Then i couldnt go for awhile so i stopped. Had maybe a week of normal stool and now bam! horrible gas pains and diarreah for two days! I had the chills and i thought i was gonna throw up at the same time (thankfully i didnt) ..anyone else go thru this? is it normal?

Ive been using vasoline without a bandage n mine are almost skin color

Yeah im gping to a meeting tonight..maybe i can get some answers...thanks for helping

I take multivitamin in morning and calcium citrate after shakes

They say lactose free..i drink muscle milk light

I had my surgery on 4/18 n last sunday had horrible pain on right side. Did ultrasound n i have small gallstones. Since then the pain has stopped but it will have to come out eventually...trying to wait as long as possible...im not ready for another surgery yet

Im 4/18 as well n my port has aslo started to hurt...more like a tearing pinching feeling

I gave up coffee a week before surgery so i would detox before hand...it was a hard three days nd so far its been two n a half weeks without it. I can say i actually feel great waking up now n when i can drink it again next week i will be using decaf..one less stimulant in my body...n fyi caffine is a natutal appetite stimulant

Ive had multiple dreams of food...i could really taste it n feel the texture..i thought i really ate it when i woke up lol
