gas, gas and mo GAS!
Debbie3sons replied to starfish n coffee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's nothing your eating it is just the band getting used to not having so much food , I am almost 2 yrs out and still have the gas issues , I just tell and warn people that the and will be playing music and I have no control the music it plays, but it is my band lol, and you will also get some rumbling sounds sooner or later it is not because you are hungry it is just what it does, sometimes , it will tae a while getting used to and oh the mind games we go through is rough but we get through as long as you follow what your doc and post op diet says then you will notice change before you now it . Thanks Bandista. I have the burps too, which I have to weirdly admit feel awesome! Lol! My husband is like that's real sexy, I'm like hey it comes with the band. :-) I plan on calling my nutritionist on Monday. Maybe it's something I'm eating. -
first goal reached,
Debbie3sons replied to terrydumont46's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I total get this one as my Mother is very obese and I wish the best for her , and I worry about her as we are only 16 yrs, apart , and we did ask if she would be canadate for wls , but her docs say her heart would not be able to take it so they won't do it and is diabetic and has to do insulin twice a day and take her pils 3 times a day , including asprin 5 times a day so I get it , eat to hear for you , I bet you are real happy that you don't have to do the insulin any more , pretty soon it will be just vitiamins for you Yeah ! -
How to burn 800 Calories in 30 Minutes!
Debbie3sons replied to 2muchfun's topic in Food and Nutrition
LOL I guess you burn and save for the good calories at another time . -
That is why most of us don't even grab a Water bottle or ask for anything to drink at resturaunts or even get a glass until after we eat and wait for 30 -60 min after then we take a SMALL sip to see if we can drink and make sure it stays down , it is a real learning process and that is what they call being stuck and if there is mucas involved that is known as sliming & does not feel good , so just try and remember Protein first then wait to drink a small sip , hope this might help you and for us we can not guzzle any fluids as it will come back up , right away so we have to take our tie and we are so used to not taking time that we have to learn how to good luck on your journey.

I click on my own profile then I go to where it says settings or gallery or go to the top of the page and it will say upload then click on that , then scroll down to the bottom and you will see where it says browse and choose file then choose select and review & publish , and it should get what you want it to do also there is some where it says before and after , sometimes I forget bt you can load your before and after pics, also you have to make and name your albums , so choose one o the albums and see what happens , it takes me a while but these are suggestions that I try , good luck and hope you can figure it out.

Not taking liquids is that ok?
Debbie3sons replied to Nat1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you got the pre op instructions from your Surgeon ask for the post op instructions it says what to do and if not you can find it on the e where and follow that for pre & post op , I know for me I think it was either 1 or 2 days 1oz of Water everf course it was hard and it had to be room temp or I could chew and suck on ice chips , then I could do clear broth on either day 2 or 3 if your never sure about anything , always please ask your surgeon. -

Debbie3sons replied to Nat1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Remember terrydumont she is only 2 days out of surgery so the oz, of Water every 15 min, is what is normal , I am not sure if she can have more on day 2 or 3 , hopefully she got the post op directions fro her surgeon, it says what to do, just saying , then again different doctors do different things . -
Lisacaron , like I said I had to buy at least one pair of jeans as I didn't have but 1 pair and they are way to big for me now , so I took 3 different sizes of the same and started with the biggest se that I was used to , and they were WAY to big so I kept going down till I felt comfortable in the size that I could bend or what ever and not feel restricted , wow what a journey we are on , but it felt so GREAT knowing that I could NOT fit in the bigger ones and that they were to big , now I know my size right now , who knows what size I will be in week , month or future but that's ok because I a losing and that is fine by me , sometimes not scale wise but those inches are coming off every where , the only thing I didn't like is I noticed the thighs were looking awful and that was the only place that I want to Really change Right now even though other things are hanging yes I will leave that to any ones imagination lol, so try a few things on it will make you feel better watch and you will have a moment of different emotions , I have and you will also.

How things have changed in a year
Debbie3sons replied to readysetg070113's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Isn't it a great feeling , it sure is a good day for us I love the change in our minds , body and our nsv's fro where to now and where we are going and the things we can do , that we could not even do before whether it be small or big , yes I say big lol , I a loving being able to just have energy and not say no when some one says let's go here or there , fro being tired all the time or not being able to just breath, yes I know most of us were out of breath , just trying to move sometimes now we do all that we can do and just try to do a bit more than before , so we will keep on going, and won't worry when o last breath might be, cause we chose to better our selves, by being healthy and making choices on eating and drinking healthy. -
My husband is way too thin
Debbie3sons replied to pomg4ever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When and how long has your Husband been banded , and how much did he weigh before and after being banded ,it takes tie for our heads to wrap around our images of being healthy and if he is excusing his self ask hi why , is he getting stuck , sick or eating to much , we all have different signals that let s know not to take the last bite and also , most of us have to take tie to eat , and also for some of us we are not able to drink with or meals and we do forget , most of us have to wait a while just to take a sip of a drink so things don't come back up sort of speak, well keep us updated and some of us do look unhealthy if we don' take care of our selves , hopefully he will look ore healthy , he is your husband , talk to him abo our concern . -
I totally understand and I just posted in banders 5 and let CG know it was a good Friday , heck even just a good day for me , but I know that feeling , but I couldn't deal with my comfortable shorts I wore before being banded any more because now they want to hit the floor if I get up or walk now , so I had tome in expensive clothes it was finally time.

Every time I read your post about what you have or are doing I get a little out of breath as I ll walk , and dance to the oldies , by Richard Simmons, and I even tried to do the dance game with my son his box is down but I still do what I can do , but it just takes my breath away to read your post of your exercise , great job do for your self , applause.

Well I went to y pcp my reg, o s back , now I have to get a mri for my shoulder and back , then I have to see a ortopedic surgeon to determine if I need surgery or not, , but why I was there and she was checking me I was standing kind of bent over on a counter and said weight let me check your weight , then she replied I notice your bone I said what and she was talking about something on my back then she she said let e see what you weigh , and she got ed and said I noticed something diffre...

That's what I was going to mention , does your pcp no about your band first and let them know , what you can and can not tolerate , also I don't know what else you can do for the respitory problem but to ease nausea I go to the pharmacy like Wallgreens or any pharmacy and ask for Emetrol it taste nasty so I take it but have a sip of water handy to make sure it stays down , all I know is it works really well for nausea , but you have to ask for it because they don't sell it over the counter any more , used to be you could just pick it up , buy it and go , but now you have to ask for it.
