at least I have my lap band already so I can't eat like I would have before when I was stressed!!!!
-
thanks everyone. well I still have my boys here, 14 and 15 and our two dogs and two cats, so I'm sure I will have plenty of excitement here. I have been ok until today when I got home from work and she was out with friends. I walked in her room and saw all the stuff packed and just started crying.. I know she will be home often. :-)
-
mine is like what guy described, lots of extra saliva and its not really vomit, just comes back up.. then im fine. only happened 3 times so far and all because I ate too fast. I am learning to slow down.

Has anyone kept their lap band a secret?
jsws91 replied to amber22's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
only my husband knows... and of course all of you :-) -
I was quickly on the way out of the house with my husband and son... my other son was sitting there eating Chinese, so what do I do? I grab a too big piece of chicken with my fingers and eat it way too fast while walking to the car. almost instantly I knew I was stuck. we pulled over and I had alot of slime, then finally spit up the chicken. uggg... good reminder though. im glad it wasn't stuck longer. :-(

I still have not had my first fill!
jsws91 replied to Cherie Murphy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had my first fill last week, 9 weeks post op. I can definitely tell a difference now. my weight loss was stalled for about three weeks before. my doc was on vacation.. -
great question.. I just got my first fill last Wed. I would like to know the answer too... I definitely feel my band tighter now.
-
wow.. great!!

Finally the scale is moving...
jsws91 replied to Heccat2's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I know what you mean.. I was stuck for a few weeks too.. but now its moving down again.. so frustrating. I'm glad you got the scale moving again. -
I have my dr appt today. I am assuming I will get my first fill. Im 9 weeks post op. for some reason, I am so nervous.. don't know why but I am. from what I read here, its no big deal.
-
I'm done with the fill. not bad at all..
-
wow! very inspirational...

6 months post-op: PROGRESS PICS
jsws91 replied to KeeSh32's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
awesome!!! -
my husband knows about this forum, but doesn't ever have the desire to come on and read... he never has been one to talk on forums, etc.. if I have a question or something he suggests that I ask the people on here.

sounds good. my son loves that ice drink
-
that's awesome!

mine is a little on the left side.. for a few weeks after surgery I had to lay/sleep on my right side or back. but now I can lay anyway, even on my stomach. sometimes I feel the port and sometimes not.
-
lol.. my husband did the same for me. I think he bought about 10 different flavors of yogurt... :-)
-
Peanut Butter is great! carolinagirl.. I thought I was the only one who didn't like yogurt. I have tried to like it, but yuck...

Bloated and Very Uncomfortable
jsws91 replied to Joy332's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was bloated off and on for almost a month after. it will go away :-) -
im having a hard time with my chewable vitamins.. they make me nauseated. anyone else have that problem?
-
Ohh this is what it feels like....
jsws91 replied to Spaness2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I probably didn't chew well enough, but still.. I doubt I will take the chance again. just a good reminder that my band is really in there. :-) -
Ohh this is what it feels like....
jsws91 replied to Spaness2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I remembered this conversation as soon as I spit up the first bit.. yuck! -

this happened to me tonight.. not deli Turkey, but deli roast beef... nope.. never again.. I started hurting real bad in my chest, then it just felt like the food wouldn't go down or come up. mucus started forming and I went in the bathroom, and finally, out came the roast beef. well, now I know what it feels like to be stuck! thank goodness I was at home and it didn't last long! -
it hurt to lay on my side at first. so for a week or so I laid on my back or sat back in the recliner
