I don't count the sodium, but I know I need to! I swell up with too much and gain weight!

My doctor said NO and NO carbonated drinks at all! This is the hardest thing I've done!!! I have to keep in mind that a soda isn't worth me wasting all the money I have put into the surgery.

I was told not to do any abdominal workout

How is your band going ?

You may experience shoulder pain from gas. I am one of the few who got sick with anthesia and nausea for two days. Once the anthesia wore off I was fine.

Wow! That is a wonderful amount!!!!!

Imaleaf!!

Do you think I need a fill?

I had my surgery July 31st, but I feel no restrictions when eating....,, I just have to tell myself to stop

I think I will lose more weight when school starts back!!!

I thought about going back to liquid diet too for a few days, that is when I lost mine!

I am very thankful for my band, but I really wanted the sleeve. My mother-in-law had the sleeve done and a friend/coworker and they both have lost so much with little exercise. I did not get the sleeve. Because I would have to pay $12,500 compared to the band/ plication at $5,500. I am still happy.... I had my surgery on July 31, 2012 and weighed 197 when I went in and today is August 19th and I weigh 180 . I can't complain! I do feel my band and I am scared of something happening or me doing something to strainous that could damage it.

My appetite and want for food is still here!!!! I still have the want.... But I have to think about where I want to be!

You can buy tea that is all natural in the tea section of the grocery store that helps!!! All natural! Drink a cup of this warm tea before bed and the next morning you should go! The tea is called, Smooth Move. Look at HEB and I know Brookshires have it with the herbal tea.

No, not yet! I go for my first visit in two days. Tomorrow will be a week

I am also using Dr.Wilkenfeld. I do not have anything negative to say about his office yet. I go for my first appointment in two days. I will update later

I was banded July 31st

I am knew on here too! Hello!! I was banded on July 31st! I have lost 13lbs. My stomach looks larger today than it has the last six days. Anyone know why that could be?
