I dont really see any problems with it. Sounds pretty good. When do you get to go to mushie type foods? I started on Thursday and it is going pretty good. We were banded on the same day, isnt weird how doctors are so different with what to eat? You would think they would have about the same type of menus for us to follow. Angie

HEllo Everyone, I am banded and I am pretty sore and cant seem to get this gas to move. It is aweful. Any suggestions? Angie

Hey Mushies are going pretty good. For some reason my chest hurts everytime I burp. Not sure whats up with that. Hopefully it will go away. I have been taking my nexium. I get to have eggs, cottage cheese with crushed pineapple, Yogurt, oatmeal, Beans, Low fat milk, 1/2 slice of toasted bread with cheese, Peanut Butter, cottage cheese, or light cream cheese, high Protein Soups, and mozzarella string cheese. I get to have two of those. I have to have at lease 45 grams of protein a day. July 28th I get to have Tuna and Shrimp. Aug 4th I get to add chicken and Turkey. August 11th I get to have Lean red meat, lean pork, lean ham. It can be Filet, Flank, London Broil, 95% lean ground beef, Pork Tenderloin, Lean Pork chops, Light ham from deli, She said I need to Broil, Grill, Bake, Boil... Then August 18th I get to add 1oz of fruit of veggies. Then I go and see her again. I have lost 2 pounds since Thursday. So it is going slower now but at least I have lost. I am at 207 now. This is so exciting. I have lost almost 20 pounds. Thanks for asking how I am doing Kim. I appreciate it. I will post more later. I need to get back to watching these children. TTYS! Angie

I had the same problem when I was first banded. I couldnt burp at all and had that terrible feeling. Believe me it will come, it will be sore when you do, but it will get better over time. I belch and fart all the time now! lol I have no more problems with doing it now. Good Luck, I hope you burp soon! Angie

Soonergirl have fun on your Vacation. I am sure you will choose the right foods to eat. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. Hopefully I keep taking the pounds off. I have been running after five kids so hopefully that does work! I think that is exercise enough. Angie

Kim, I hope you are feeling better! Way to go Melissa! I am so happy for you. Hopefully you can get this ball rolling with the pshyc. When you go to him stress that this is the last piece of your puzzle and you need him to work as fast as he can to get the results over to Dr. V. How are you doing Kathy? I hope all is well since you got some saline taken out. I went to the Nutritionist yesterday and I have lost 17.2 pounds. My neighbors scale is on my nerves so I wont get back on hers. lol But I was able to eat an egg last night. It was soooo good! I have had an egg so far today with 2 saltine crackers with reduced fat Peanut Butter. I will then have some refried Beans for lunch, and who knows what for dinner. But I was told I could have eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, oatmeal, beans, low fat milk, 1/2 slice of calorie lite whole wheat bread, and high Protein Soups and I can have 3 ounces of them! and She said I can have Mozarella string cheese too. so very exciting to be able to eat!!!!! OK, I need to go five kids are keeping me busy. TTYS! Angie

That is awesome to hear Soonergirl! My scale deceived me yesterday and I have only lost 17.2 pounds! I will not get on another scale. I about cried when I got to the nutritionist's office. lol She said it is great though to have lost that much so far. My BMI is now 38.7 if I recall correctly. I am no longer considered Morbidly obese! YIPPEE!!! So that was a good thing to hear. I am now on mushie type foods and when I have a chance I will share what my nutritionist said today. I am just pretty tired and I want my bed. I will talk to you guys tomorrow! Keep up the great work Soonergirl!!!!! Angie

Congrats, Vines! Way to go! Keep up the great work. Angie

Everyone is different, Soonergirl! It will come off for you. You are smaller than I am too so I may loose a little more quickly than you at first. It is great you have lost those 7 pounds. I am proud of you, band buddy! Keep me updated on how you are doing. It is great to be able to keep up with someone that did it the same day. TTYL! Angie

That is funny! I took a baked french fry off of my husbands plate and chewed on it and then spit it out, just to get the flavor in my mouth! lol Arent we sad! I get to go to the Nutritionist tomorrow and get to start my mushie stage. I am so excited!!!!!! At least I will be able to eat a little bit of something! I will let you know how it goes and it also looks like I am down 21 pounds now! This is so exciting! Angie

That is so great! I am so excited for you. You have a great Mom. Dont ever forget that. I am 33 and it took me forever to get my mom to come around. She is happy now that I am loosing the weight. Keep us posted and let us know if you find a Doctor! Good Luck! Angie

Congrats to you! I know that makes you feel so good. I cant wait to be on here and telling others I am down that much! Keep up the great work! Angie

Good Luck to you! You will do great! Keep us updated please. Angie

Yes, You will have some discomfort for a little while but you will do great. I am almost two weeks out and I am feeling wonderful now. Up and running after 5 kids!! So rest asure you will get better. Take your pain meds and heal. Hopefully you will be over this soon. Keep in touch! Angie

Congrats Barbarann! That is awesome! and I thought 13 pounds in a week was great! 18 pounds! Wow! Keep up the great work, and keep us posted. Angie

There is also an IHOP off of 49/485 at the new Arsley shopping area. That is near arrowood road. Not sure if any of you know where that is. I can do most everything but I dont want a terribly long drive. Just let me know what you guys think. TTYL! I need to get up and get ready for the boys! Angie

haha what a lovely subject! I was told this morning I can have milk of magnesia? (SP?) I am going to go get it soon so I can things going. I feel so bad. Plus Aunt Flo has visited me and that isnt helping things. I feel like I am falling apart right now but I know it will get better. I wish I knew what my poo looked like! LoL Angie

OH jeez! The BM demon! I am having such a hard time going. I havent been in four days and I am about to bust. I wish I could go period. Not sure what is up with that. Anyone else having this problem? I go to the nutritionist on Thursday and I get to start my mushie stage. I am so looking forward to that. I will keep you updated on things. I havent been on much due to having two extra kids during the day. I will try to be better. TTYL! Angie

My Doctor told me to get this mint called innermint. You can purchase it on the net at www.innermint.com and it is suppose to help those that have gone through weight loss surgery to get rid of those odors. I hope this helps. Check it out. Angie

Any Saturday is good. I just need to know and what time so I can prepare my husband for duty! I will be leaving the rugrats at home. Melissa I sure hope it doesnt take that long but dont fret it will be here before you know it. I thought it was going by slow too and now here I am banded. It will get here. Hope you all are doing good. I sure am feeling a lot better since the last time you saw me! But let me know I am flexible. TTYL! Angie

Bondgirl here! I weighed in at 209, so 4 pounds gone! I love it!!!! I will post again next monday! A total of 17 pounds gone Angie

Wow, It seems like yesterday I was just on here saying the same thing. IT will go by so fast, you wont believe it! Angie

Hello, I was banded on the 30th and I am feeling great. I have lost 17 pounds so far and I am still on the liquid diet. I get to start mushies up on the 14th and I can't wait. I am not feeling hungry yet but I am sure it will come. I will have to check out fitday.com and give it a try and hopefully keep calories down. That will be key! Thanks for posting this so we can keep in touch. Angie

Thanks Kathy! I love it! I hate the shirt I am wearing though! blah! Oh well I will know next time. I hope you are doing ok with the fill. I am sure it isnt pleasant to have to drink liquids again. Get well soon!!! Angie

Hey Gang! I had a great time with all of you on Friday. I think the kids had a great time too. Hey Kathy, Lets see that picture! I weighed myself yesterday and I have now lost 17 pounds! I am so happy with this so far. I go to the Nutritionist on Thursday at 4pm. I will get to go to mushies then! I am counting the days. Thanks for a good time and can't wait to see you all next time.
