I've been having the same issue this week!! It's driving me insane and making me depressed. And I still don't understand the concept of water weight??!

So, How is it possible I gained 3 pounds in 24 hours after I was just on liquids for 3 days after a fill?!?! Im really upset and depressed over this

Just felt the need to share the good news! I weighed in at 238 lbs. today!! That is a total loss of 73 lbs!! I can't believe it!!

Definitely call your doctor, they told me port pain will happen off and on, but it effects everyone differently, but definitely call your doc. They told me to put ice, that's all. I hope you feel better!

Thank you all for the good vibes and support! I was banded 12/17/12. My Dr. said the pain was from scar tissue at the port incision site, as well as the port pain caused by weight loss...does that sound right? :/

Thank you so much for the feedback....guess I'll have to see what doc says...what do gallstones feel like? I started at 311..then was 288 day of surgery 12/17/12.... now Im 238...is that alot of weight? I don't even know anymore! Lol

Banded 12/17/12. The past few weeks I've been having unexplained discomfort/tingling/pain on left side. I have docs appointment on Tuesday to adress this, but was wondering if anyone else felt this?

that's bad...I can't live my life being sore everyday! I love to exercise....it better go away or this isn't going to work out! I appreciate the information though! Why do people have their gallbladder removed?! I really can't handle another surgery...sheesh...I do have some vicodin on hand. Kinda sad about this. I've lost 73 pounds, but I don't like the idea of being doped up to deal with this pain! That is not the quality of life I had in mind when I got banded...

Port is on my left side right below my rib cage..I have been exercising

I had similar feelings when i moved to soft foods. Listen to your body, it will tell you when it's full. Everything is brand new for you now. Greek yogurt (plain) is the mos

It's nuts! congratulations on your surgery!!

Im having the same situation. I've dropped 2 pants sizes within less than 2 months. Thrift stores are absolutely the way to go!!! Get a variety of sizes, so that you have something you can fit into as you continue to lose.

Hey! Im from Chicago too!! we should start a Chicago group!

I had 2 cc put in...is it bizzare that I enjoyed the experience? Just the whole notion of having the ability to add/ take fluid out is so fascinating to me. I always had so much anxiety when I thought of getting a fill, but I already want another one...oh yeah, and I've lost 34lbs since my surgery 12/17/12..57 lbs total from pre-op diet ..also an awesome feeling...

I literally felt NOTHING..the only thing I felt was a slight snugness around the band. I definitely feel a little tighter, but it doesn't bother me...phew! So relived! Good luck to you!

Congratulations on your surgery. I was banded 12-17-12. For about 5 or so days after surgery, I was an emotional mess. It's normal...I was also having major anxiety...just focus on your healing...I wish you the best!

Long story short, I was informed less than 48 hours ago that my health insurance will terminate on February 15! I was banded on December 17, and no fill yet. My weight loss has been good, but Im thinking I should get a fill tomorrow so that way I have enough time to re-adjust if needed before the 15 th...what do you think?!?

Anyone tried raspberry ketone or any other weight loss herbs/teas? I want to add something to the mix...

Im having my first fill soon, and when I hear stories like this, I kinda freak. Hope you are better!

I don't eat land animals, only fish. Anyone have any good fish recipes? Or sauces to go with fish/tofu?
