Need some advice, please no negeativity!
trestumpf replied to betchaican's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You have to do it for YOU. I along with everyone on here have had those thoughts. Should I spend the money? If I stop eating???? Along with the fat jokes you make about yourself so no one else had the chance. My final straw was an airplane. If your husband doesn't support you we will. All of us on here have been in your shoes, we know. Don't let the what ifs stop you think of the can waits. Good luck -

Well I can say it is the best thing I have done for myself. I was banded on 5-16-13 im down 30 lbs(wish more but its not over nite) and have had 3 fills. Everyone has a story and advice...listen, you will be able to related in some way. Get ready for a new you, good luck.

Thank goodness that im not the only one it happens too. It is a real pain in the neck when you stand on the scale and think today is the day I will change the scale....and the darn thing is still the same. Good luck

It can also mean you have maybe a nasel drip that is noticable more at night because you are lying down. Remember the opening to your stomach isnt what it was. Talk to your doctor.

It takes time. You are doing really good. I have a 10 cc band and got a fill today that brought me up to 5.5. Im thinkin thats my magic number for now.....we will see. Good luck

Anyone have dizzy spells?
trestumpf replied to Laurie8855's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on may 16 and got crazy dizzy....my cousin is a doc and he said to drink gatorade, for the electrolytes -
Im so glad I found this. I was banded on th 16 of may and have had a bm 3 times with help of a laxitive. I dont want to do that all the time. This is the best place to find people that are going through the same thing.

Im only 3 weeks out but I let my family order and just take a little of this and a little of that. Also war wonton soup is fabulous and reheats good.

I can't take it any more!
trestumpf replied to indenial's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 4 days post and can not stand one more sweet thing (protine shakes, jello) so this morning I made malt o meal, very runny, and its hitting the spot. I have been doing broth but the brand I use was adding to the gas pains in my back. Every morning i look forward to standing on the scale cuz the weight is falling. I takes pains to be beautiful, so here we go. You can do it and leave the room when your hubby starts to eat. Spray your favorite body spot to mask the smells. -

2-Week Pre-Op Liquid Diet? BRING IT ON!
trestumpf replied to HelloGoodbye's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You just told my story.......I start my liquid diet today and I am very nervous. My job leaves me by myself a lot and I am a bored, nervous, and depressed eater. I have packed my luchbox and have decied to leave all cash and debit cards at home so I am not tempted to buy anything today. Being addicted to food has made me miserable and I hate that I feel like I have no control. I always have the thought of just one more, or I'll stop tomorrow. This is it, im taking my life back!!!! Good luck and hope to talk soon.
