enuf so glad you are feeling pretty good!!! each day gets better. I wish I was up to exercising my knees hold me back badly, but will need to start something really soon that's for sure. I am happy that you are happy with your decision!!! Talk with you soon!!!

I am no where near that yet...but some on here do get it removed...not sure what I will be doing...congrats though on your weight loss that is SUPER!!!

Congrats mitzie46!!!

BeachBish please contact your doctor!!!

Well I had my 2nd fill yesterday and got to talk to a nutritionist...very helpful!!! Do good...staying on liquids for another day and will try soup tomorrow...hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Martha Howland-Shafiei...you go girl!!! best wishes as well to you. Thanks for the info there bruce058...answered a lot of questions. hope you all on this post have a great day!!!

Gowalking your advice is very sound thank you...Atlasmaia and hopefilinNY...I am not really out that far since my surgery but got to see the nutritionist. maybe you do need to go back to basics. although I have lost weight since surgery...I have had bad habits when it comes to eating already!!! so I am back on the road to weight lose with my band!!! Hang in there ladies you are going to do just fine...lets all get back on the wagon today!!!

well thanks everyone (2muchfun, Slowjourney and Bama53) I did really good...stayed on liquids the first day and then through 1 pm on Friday and then had some soup but went back to liquid...cuz I felt some strange pain in my back/shoulder. So will try again today!!! Hope you all have an awesome weekend!!!

LOLRH

enuf so glad you came through so spectcularly!!! I don't mind your attitude...you made me laugh...that is good. my hubs came into the living room a hundred times the first night too...I slept in the recliner for my first few days. To tell you the truth I really haven't had any issues or complains...I merely ask alot of questions on here about things that I am experiencing and get alot of good feed back from everyone. The gas was not an issue for me either...I had to have a hernia repaired while he was in there...so my pain I believe actually came from that. My major issue right now is trying to get some exercise in...I've had my knees replaced so they are alittle uncomfortable at times. So I think I am going back to the wellness center near my home and get some Water aerobics into my routine. you take time to heal...my doctor told me to be patience with myself...take those first 6 weeks as best you can and then move on to chapter two...learning to eat really slow, chew, chew, chew...wait a minute or two between bites...and stop when your band says ok I've had enough. Your liquids right now will soon become mushy and then soft food choices, if you need ideas send me a message...I'll try to help you out. Evreyone of us are different...but I have read alot on here...so I will try to have a suggestion or idea or two for you. You take care of yourself and hope to see either more posts or a message from you every now or then okay?

I can eat one small slice of supreme and that is it...crust and all...make sure they make it very thin!!!

ABlond what I have been told: Typically a slider food is one that can easily slip through the narrow stoma passage created by the band's restriction. It is important to avoid slider foods as much as possible, because they slide right through where they are supposed to be restricted for awhile. Slider foods don't help you feel full and can be full of calories, too, so they really defeat the purpose of your lapband.

Will be so happy to share with you ABlond...seeing we are January 2014 banders!!!

Well I am a bit excited today...I get my 2nd fill...but the best thing is that I get to finally see a nutritionist...so looking forward to her telling me what I need to do to help me lose more weight...have had idea from my surgeons staff...but nothing set in stone. I hoping she can give me some good information that will help me eat more healthy. Hope you all are having a good day...talk with you all soon!!!

neat idea HealthyNewMe...sounds like a plan...sorry to say I never got the taste for crawfish...so you can have my portion...LOLRH...enjoy

I've used a straw with no affects...just sip don't gulp!!! Some great ideas on here...thanks everyone!!!

2muchfun...you have been so helpful to me over the past almost three months...thank you. but you mentioned something here that sparked my interest and something I need to be aware of...does everyone get real tight after their fills...no matter how small they are? my first fill has not given me any restriction and I go for my 2nd one today...only have 2 cc's in there now...and not sure how much they will give me today...so was just wondering...does everyone usually go through tightness after a fill? Thanks for letting me know.

thanks Kyle...how are you doing? you are looking great!!!

How did it go enuf? thinking about you...hope you post and let us know soon.

love your crazy Bandista...I use can't believe it's not butter spray too...so now we can be crazy together...LOLRH
