What is reason for not drinking with meals?
chantelleb816 replied to seeme1954's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I hate this rule and struggle with this rule. I've lost about 10 pounds for the past 2 out of three months and I drink when I eat if I'm super thirsty or my food is spicy. Last month didn't lose so well but I maintained my weight and went on vacation for two weeks. Best advice I can give is try to stay away from drinking with meals but if you must only take a sip or two :/ -

I had a horrible time in the beginning with the band I was throwing up couldn't eat couldn't sleep I was miserable. Now 3 months out I'm doing a lot better. Call the doctor if it gets worse and try to hang in there -

My symptoms Basically went away. I didn't take pain meds and now I've skipped a month. It's very weird I'm used to bad cramps and regular periods. -

I had a rough time for about a month with adjusting to the band. I was on nausea medication, anti inflammatory and something to get my digestive system moving. I hated broth so I didn't do that but I made sure I sipped my Gatorade and water as much as a could tolerate. I also had to at one point be hospitalized because I was dehydrated. So call your doctor don't wait too long. Good luck and it does get better. -

I can honestly say I do not weigh myself or have the desire to. I get weighed when I go to the doctors and when I meet with my personal trainer that's it. I guess it helps me not feel discouraged by a number. So far since my surgery 1/24/13 I've lost 34 pounds. -
Does anyone else have disgusting burps? I'm a month and 1/2 out. I just want to know do they ever stop? I call them empty tummy burps when I get them when I wake up and between meals.

Ugh so discouraged!!
chantelleb816 replied to buttabean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The best advice I can give to anyone is stay off of the scale. I don't know my weight until i go to the dr for my check ups -
The only reason I lost 30 pounds so quickly was because I couldn't eat and I had a hard time keeping food down at times. Now that I can eat about a month and 1/2 out I haven't lost anything. Don't give up yet. I don't understand why go through the process to give up so soon?

Question about Vomitting
chantelleb816 replied to bandedmarci's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had trouble with vomiting as well first in hospital and then because I was eating too fast. Now I've slowed down and haven't been sick. I also take medication for nausea and digestion which I have been doing for a month . I now take it as needed. It does get better and if it persist call your doctor immediately -
HELP!! I don't recognize myself...!
chantelleb816 replied to Jessizzle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Go to counseling I'm finding that this is common and in the beginning stages this is something I worry about. Being overweight is what you know. This is new and frightening. There's nothing wrong with needing a little help and starting to love the new you. FYI you look awesome ???Š -
I have 7 incisions and some are going to fade nicely while others will leave a niceness like under my left boob but Idc it's now apart of me accept it or not.

chantelleb816 replied to bubbs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't feel hungry either and then when I eat I feel like it goes down done then 1 to 2 hours later it wants to come up and sometimes it does. I need to chew more and eat slower I think. Smh this part sucks. -
