First of all, you can't eat that fast after pbing. You need to do liquids for a few days, and let your self heal up. After that amount of time you can try some soft food and see what happens. You will never stop pbing if you don't give yourself time to let the swelling go down. If you can't keep the liquids down, then you definately need to get an unfill. I would probably go for the unfill regardless, you sound pretty tight to me, but only your doctor and you can make that decision. Good Luck!

Congrats to you! Don't forget to post and let us know how you did!

Congrats! It will be here before you know it!

I used to be against the idea of banding so young, but now I think it is a good idea if the person is really overweight. Now, I am not talking 30 pounds, I am talking a lot of weight, and it they have tried to lose weight and failed. I wish I would have had to opportunity to have the band at a younger age. When you are younger, your skin bounces back better, and the older you get the more sagging you get. The confidence is much higher when they aren't over weight, and life is much better for them. They can keep up with the other kids their age, instead of sitting on the sidelines. They get asked out for dates, instead of sitting home and eating. Yes, I do believe if I had a child that was over weight I would let them have the band if they wanted it. I would make sure they knew all that was involved with it and how much they would have to work with the band.

Everyone is different, some people never need a fill, and others get hungry and stop losing weight at which time a fill is needed. That is why the band is adjustable.

As long as you are healed up, I wouldn't think it would be a problem. I do some twists with my exercising and it's never bothered me.

Good Morning Y'all! Just a quick one, I let the time get away from me and I haven't even taken my shower yet! Mandy - Glad Abi's surgery is done and she did fine. I'll be waiting for pictures as well! Kat - Our prayers go your way now! Hope everything goes well! Cindy - I feel for you! Drums! Chrispy - Hello back to you! Sherry - I'm sore, are you? Gotta run, catch you all later!

Welcome to LBT! I didn't have a pre-diet so I can't help you there. The foaming some people get when they are too tight, and I haven't experienced that either, so maybe someone who has will be of more help. As far as the not eating all the foods you like, it wasn't bad. I only had to do liquids for 2 wks, then mushines for 2 wks, then I went to solids. Once you are on solids, you can try anything, some people can't eat everything, but I can pretty much eat anything if I take it slow and chew well. Good Luck with your surgery, and keep us posted.

Welcome to bandland! It gets better with each day!

Good Morning Y'all! DH made it home just fine, he hit some rain but not as much as he would have if he left 10 min. earlier. I started working out in the pool this month, and didn't get to yesterday because of the rain. Looks like I will be able to today though. I was in the pool so much on Sunday with all the company I over did the exercising and was so sore yesterday. I got down on the floor though and did some leg exercises and it might have helped a little bit. Kat - I was the same way, I just kept hanging on to my clothes, then I went to meet a bunch of the gals from here and took bags of them with me. All of them got taken and I felt so much better knowing someone could use them. I also felt better knowing I didn't have them in the house to fall back on. Mandy - Keeping you all in my prayers. Well, I'll try to do more personals tonight, got to go get in the shower! Have a good one!

Congrats to you! Let us know when you get a date!

Welcome to LBT and congrats on the surgery date! You'll find tons of information on here if you take the time to read it all! Good Luck!

The more you walk and sip water the better it gets. A heating pad for the shoulder works wonders. Good Luck!

STorming here right now! DH is out on my Harley and I am not really too happy about that! Mine had more gas in it! I had my screen set up and it worked fine, I didn't have to mess with the scrolling and all, but it all went back to the old way and now I am back to the waiting and scrolling. I hate it! I pm'd Mr. Alex to see why, that was a week ago and I haven't heard anything back. We had a bunch of people over yesterday for a bbq and it was fun. Gosh I was tired this morning though. Prayers up for Abi! Cooking supper so got to run!

Welcome to LBT! Looks like another biker! Just try eating like your wife for a while and you'll get that weight down in no time. Good Luck!

Good Luck, and don't forget to post and let us know how you did!

Awwww, Alex I am so sorry. I always say "where there's a will, there's a way" and I believe you'll find one. Good Luck!

You should only be losing 1-2 pounds a week even with your fills. Some people lose faster than others though. You still haven't had a fill, and this is just the healing time, so relax and let your body heal up! You'll get there, you are doing just fine!

Congrats to you! I wish my insurance would have covered it!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Good Luck!

If you can't keep liquids down, then you need to call your doctor. Don't wait too long! A small amount taken out will make a big difference. Let us know!

Good Luck! Keep us posted!

Hello Y'all! I have been trying to play catch up on my work! It's impossible, just too much to do and not enough hours on the weekend. Mandy - Abi's graduation sounds really cute. I bet they were darling. Cindy - You have a great attitude about it all. Just remember you don't have to have all the things they took to make you happy. I went through the same thing, and I was so upset and then I decided not to worry about it anymore. Then we moved and it made it all the better! I look back now at all the memories I have with my parents and they don't have any! I'll take the memories any day! Eileen - Have a good trip! I've had that stupid cold for over a week now, it was miserable. I think I am starting to see the end of it now. I still have a nagging cough, but the rest is gone. Patty - Don't let it bother you! Just go on your merry way and smile at everyone of them. It doesn't take long for rumors to fly does it? Well, I wanted to stop and say hello, I am trying to catch up on the board real quick and get back to my work. I think my DS is coming down this afternoon and I want to be done with stuff by the time he gets here. Catch you all later!

Congrats to You! Let us know when your date is!

Happy Bandiversary! You look fantastic! Great job!
