Only mornings for me and so I try to drink something before I eat. How about eating something on your way to dinner? Gummy vitamins or something?

QUESTION: What Foods Can You No Longer 'Stomach'?
SunshineTexas replied to HelloGoodbye's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have trouble with some raw veggies, like carrots and cucumbers. And, of course if I don't chew well anything could give me trouble. -

Toot away! Good job!! -
I've had five fills and finally getting close. It takes time and coming off S-L-O-W, but I just keep telling myself it's only the beginning of the journey. Be patient, it will come. I used MyFitnessPal to track calories. Drink lots of water!

Good work! -
Surgery was yesterday
SunshineTexas replied to dand03's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was feeling better within 4 days or so. I went back to work on the 5th day. For me, the gas pain was the worst part. Walking helps and GasX was my friend! -
Great article!

pre op diet questions
SunshineTexas replied to prettyprincessdeasia's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every doc seems to be a little different. I'd call your doc to see about their instructions. Mine didn't require a pre-op liquid diet. Mine required a very low carb. -
Yes, it's gas!

Job well done!! It helps me to hear people's struggles and that they powered through. I hope to be posting such a success someday! -

Question about fills and pain
SunshineTexas replied to koolkel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr requires no eating 3 hrs before a fill. -
I probably had shoulder pain around 12 days or so. It will go away. Keep using GasX and walk.

Question about fills and pain
SunshineTexas replied to koolkel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have no pain after a fill. I just got my 4th today and seems to be getting easier. I had some pain in the surgery area post surgery, but with time it got better. I've heard ports can flip, but I think that's very rare. I hope it's just sensitive due to the incision. Good luck. -
I had the same post surgery. I was told gas travels through your body. Just keep using GasX and it will eventually go away. Walking also helps.

Think i have hit a brick wall
SunshineTexas replied to suzannetex's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I feel like I have been losing slow from the very beginning. It's never been constant! I know we are all different, but it frustrates me to read on here and see fast weight loss right after surgeries. I don't have restriction yet and i'm really trying to be patient, but it's S-L-O-W!! It helps to be on here, it keeps me motivated. Thanks all!! -
I dont want to see you anymore...
SunshineTexas replied to tym4me's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes, I can relate and feel like that now after having family in town and eating what I have not been normally eating. But, reading the responses above, they are right! We can't hide from the scale. Let's put the scales back and face the music. -
Anyone get their band at True Results in Dallas, TX? Surgery Center of Richardson
SunshineTexas replied to lilmispcl's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I too went through True Results (Austin), and will confirm like others, after care appts were every two weeks. Although I'm a newbie, I've had no complaints, staff have been great! Also, I can say being a frequent visitor on this site has helped. I'm only on my 2nd fill and nowhere near my green zone, but being on here keeps my goal alive. I track what I eat on MyFitnessPal and I think that has also helped. Good luck! -
Just wanted to share the joy!!! :)
SunshineTexas replied to Kace06's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats!! The muffin top part made laugh, which I much needed today! Keep up the good work! -
I've tried a few tracking apps , but MFP is my fav! For me, tracking keeps me in check!
