I agree with Kathy. CHew, chew, chew & chew some more. And don't let yourself get too hungry before eating. I found that if I was really hungry when I sat down to eat I tended to take bigger bites, I ate faster & then I was in misery! I almost PB'd myself to death my first day on solids. It scared me to death cause at the time I didn't even know what a PB was. Slow, chew, chew, chew, enjoy your food, & remember to not drink while eating!

Oh man! I can't wait to be able to do that myself! Congrats & keep up the good work!

what is the actual surgery like?
Jessiebear replied to lovecats85's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My surgery went about the same as everyone elses. Except for that I had absolutely no surgical pain. Just gas pain. And that too will pass. LOL!! It's a breeze. OK, I'll stop now. Good luck & let us know how it goes. -
I went in for a fill yesterday & was told that I have a 3cc band & that I now have a total of 2.5cc in. I haven't heard of a 3cc band. Has anyone else? I don't really feel more restriction but I am finally getting the "full" feeling. Praise God!! I am being good & drinking a protein shake that I made in my personal mixer (thanks DeLarla!) right now.

Bumpety bump bump.... This thread is cool! I am a LPN who has not worked in a year due to a back injury. But.... I start a new job Monday! This will be my first time working in a nursing home. They assure me that the nurses don't do ANY lifting. Yeah right! I guess I'll find out. Wish me luck please.........Jess

Sounds good to me. It was really cool seeing what everyone does.
-
Wow! There are a lot!! LOL!!!
-
Thanks Mandy!
-
Thank you for the article! There was a lot of good info there.
-
I got the "3cc" issue straightened out. My band will hold 4cc. I think my doc had a brain fart when he told me this! LOL!!
-
Ummmmmmm...... That sounds good too! Keep the ideas coming!
-
Nickie you might want to start a new thread to really get his attention. I'm curious to know what he says about your question too.......Jess
-
Thanks Mandy!

Sounds yummy Penni! I'll have to try that! So far the soy protein powder is pretty good but I'm mixing it with Yougurt, frozen strawberries, a banana & a little splenda. It's pretty darn good that way!

Hey Sweetest_soul! Give us an update! How are you feeling?
-
Thanks Dr. Hekier! I know for sure that I do not have the VG band because I overheard his conversation when he called his office to confirm which band I had. It must have been the 9.75. I still don't understand why he thinks it can hold only 3ccs. I kind of freaked when he told me that. Anyway, it is nice to know we have a doc on here watching out for us! Thanks again!...........Jess
-
Yes it is an inamed band. I thought that the smallest was only 4cc. I think you are right. I will call his office & get clarification. Thanks Alexandra!
-
He meant that my band would hold a total of 3 ccs when full. LOL! It was just bad typing on my part.

I just got a fill today & was told that I have a 3cc band & after the fill today I have a whopping total of 2.5ccs in my band. And I have lost only 30 lbs. I have 170 lbs left to lose. I'm wondering the same thing.

I'm glad I found this! I needed a laugh! Hobbit - Ruby Bulge of Hobbiton Elvin - Nessa Arcamenel My husband's hobbit name - Dimple Bulge of Hobbiton LMAO!!!!!
-
Well then it sounds like you are doing the right thing for you. And that is good! The band is not a answer, it is a tool. Some people require that tool. If you can do it for yourself, then I say do it! If some time down the road you need a tool, then it will be there for you. I wish you all the luck in the world!

My maiden name is Mc Nally & my married name is Mc Coy. Big switch huh? LOL! I had a guy in high school believe that my uncle was Rand Mc Nally. And if someone asks me if I am the real Mc Coy again I think I will scream! LOL! I worked in a doc's office when i was a teenager & there was a pt. named O.B. Massengill - no lie! The office staff drew straws over who would call him back. It was sad. LOL!
