I think if you truly gave up you wouldnt post that you gave up. It sounds to me like you have not started. You agreed to see your dr Regularly you must do that. Tiny bites, tiny sips, no straws no spoons and you will be fine.

I had 3 ccs put in my bamd at tge time of surgery. I was,told that the purpose was because my band holds 14 or16 ccs, I dont remember which.

I am having a hard time finding food that does not give me gas or loose bowels. I seem to be lactose intolarent, peanut intolarant, grilled chicken breast stuck on my Saterday. I have a food list from my dr. But most items on the list are being stripped off for variaing reasons. I am not complaining, I just need ideas!

Thanks for the suggestions. Making your own is great if you dont work 60 hours a week!

Very positive to see!

I love it!

My surgery was on June 8, 2012. I woke up the next day with horrible vaginal pain. It felt like I had been having sex for 48 hours straight. A few days later I started with surface bleeding. Now, I still have severe surface burning, itching, and pain. A small bump has formed above my clit. I have never felt such awful pain. Tylonal does nothing to help the pain. I am currently on an antiobiotic, I have used Monistat 1, vagisal (only helps for about 30 mins), peperation H (helps more than the vagisil), and cow salve (stopped the bleeding part of it). My pharamisists said my pro-biotics was probablly low. I am not chewing 4 Sustenex chews a day and increased my yogart intake about three days ago. I expected all the other issues that I have the last 10 days, but not this one. Has anyone else had this much pain? What did you do to get rid of it?

Okay, so I knew it was a possibility. But, really? a reality? I keep having bouts of diarrhea this last week. To be honest I started having issues with it before I became banded. I went to the Dr. and she sent me to specialist. No ever thought about my issues being from milk products. When I became sick in the classroom yesterday my co-worker said, okay what did you eat today, then what did you eat yesterday. The common ingredient was milk. I have learned to like cottage cheese and l love Greek yogurt. Apparently they don't love me and just want to run away. As a matter of fact I have been not well since Saturday morning I decided to make my protein shake with milk. My tummy was not happy. A few hours later I ate Weigh Watchers Grilled Chicken breasts. Then I got stuck, then I vomited and well...this week has not went well. I guess milk and I no longer agree with another. I am still loosing weight properly, just irritated about the irritation. On the other hand, I can't eat ice cream or chocolate without making myself ill. http://tinkrisegrind.blogspot.com/2012/08/lactose-intolarant-i-cant-even-spell-it.html

I couldn't imagine going through this with an unsupportive spouse. I hope things are better for you. If not do what you need to do for yourself!
