Banded on 7/26...feel completely back to normal and healed which is good. However I feel like I don't have a band. I'm hungry, I can eat whatever although I haven't eaten bread, rice and pasta. Will my first fill get this party started???

I was told not to eat rice but does that include brown rice too?

I want to eat sushi...

I felt the same way! If I could have hit an "undo" button I would have but I'm super happy I did it. I was banded on 7/26. It does pass! Hang In there!

Not joking....I'm speaking in regards to my friends and you would have to know my sense of humor. I'm by far a reformed fat person...

So far...I just let everyone else know they look like pigs and they should come up for air! LOL

Did u tell him be was being a DB?!?!? LOL

I felt the same way!!! If there would have been a "stop" button I would have pushed it! I started my creamy soup stage early and the mushies a little early but I was very careful, ate slow and very little. I feel like that's what's brought me back to life. I went back to work after 4 days and was nauseous by the end of the day and had to use my medication a few times. I was banded on 7/26...it was probably a total of 2 weeks before I felt normal again. Hang in there! The emotions mixed with the physical weakness was brutal but t passed!

There's gotta be a surgeon somewhere that will help you. I have a friend that had hers done in mexico and she found a doctor in Dallas, TX (US) that takes care of her and has been for years. I used True Results Weight Loss Center here in the US and they have several locations thru out the US. Maybe you should contact a large group like that. I do think you should get on this ASAP because you don't want anything else going wrong inside your body of there is still an infection present. I'm so sorry you are going thru this!! This is scary!

For my Prevacid capsule, I take a spoon and put a little applesauce on it, pour the contents of the capsule on the applesauce, then put a little more applesauce on top and swallow it fast...kinda a pain in the butt but it works for me! The granules don't scatter in my mouth and I dont taste it.

I was banded 7/26 and had a glass of white wine this week. Didnt feel a thing (would have actually liked to feel a little buzz) I'm very stubborn and usually break all rules in some way. Im just bad like that but I try to be good

I think I'll go with b***h...cuz b***h won't let me eat all the time!

Best news all day!!! Thanks!

Awesome!!!!! I'd love to see a before pic! How much have u lost total?

Confession: I was visiting a customer today and she was eating lunch. I grabbed a chip from her desk and licked all the flavor off in front of her! LOL I hope this at least gives everyone a good laugh!

Congrats!!!!!

Use a hearing pad too! I was also banded on the 26th. Today was my first day to feel normal with some minor pains but I'm hungry like a mofo!!!!

Walking and the heating pad was the best relief!!!

Congrats!!!!!

I'm counting down to Thursday like a crazy person!!! It will be week two and I cannot wait to get some creamy soup in my belly!!! Please share any good healthy recipes because I know that broccoli cheddar soup from Panera Bread isn't gonna make the cut LOL!

I will definitely email you tonight! I haven't set an actual number for my goal. I'm just gonna base everything on the joy of buying a smaller size jeans, lol! I don't wanna get overly obsessed with the scales. I started at 260 before the two week pre-op diet and this morning I was 245! I know it will slow down when I get to eat but I'm excited so far!

I went back to work on day 5 and it was rough. I had to come home and take pain meds and phenergen. It was mostly being in the car that made me wanna puke and I just feel weak. Just don't over do it! Good luck!

Also...if you want me to email you the post-op diet and other paperwork I have just shoot me your email address. I'm only 6 days out so I'm a new newbie too!

That's all gas and it sucks!!! You can take several gas x chewables ls a day and it won't hurt you. Supposedly walking around and moving helps get rid of the gas but it's hard.

I thought I wasn't suppose to be hungry this week?!?! I'm doing the protein drinks but it's not making a big difference.
