I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY BAND:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: ok just a few weeks ago i was a little unsure that this was going to work. seeing as how i have been at a standstill since the first month of surgery. i was a little disappointed that i didn't have the gastric bypass instead, but i had another 0.5cc fill last friday (for a total of 2cc) and it was what i needed!!! i feel control-it is like the cravings were reduced by 75% or more. i really don't care what i eat as long as i eat when i am truely hungry. i feel motivated. i feel awesome. (that awesomeness may be from working out every other day though) hey i even quit drinking with my meals--now that my band is working i figured i might as well work with it! i know i know, it should have been the other way around but hey what can i say, for a nurse i am pretty noncompliant! good luck to everyone who is struggling you will get there!!!!!! jen banded 4-4-06 263lbs today 238lbs and the scale is heading down.

afterglow, i had the same problem out of the blue preband but after i participated in a medical liquid diet. it was awful and painful. so i eliminated all foods and only ate 1 or 2 things at a time and watched for what caused the gas as i added things back into my diet. turns out it was sweet and low and other artificial sweetners. once i quit drinking them the gas was gone. now post band i do notice some but it is managable and not painful.

I think I need friends or a life-something!

Jack, thanks for my new mantra, i hope you don't mind if i steal it. i am printing it out and putting it on my mirror and fridge. i absolutely love this one.

I think I need friends or a life-something!
Jen RN replied to Jen RN's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
thank you all for your responses and encouragement, they make so much sense to me. i am trying to implement some of these ideas you all have given. even the personal stories help because i can identify with them and see the pattern in my own actions. i am really trying to remind myself to be a good friend to others and not be too picky about that friend. i am making a conscious effort to find other peoples positives and overlooking their negatives ( like this friend whines or complains too much, or wants me to help her all the time...) because i have been really bad about that here lately. i have also decided to take what i need from several friends. i am usually a one or two friend kind of person but i am going to try to have friends for the occasion. example: going out friends, work friends, working out friends, lunch friends, shopping friends... i think this will help me find things to with people all the time instead of waiting for that 1 friend to have time in her schedule leaving me at home with nothing to do. after i figure out the friend thing i will have to start working on becoming more self entertained and find the ability to have fun even though i am by myself. i am not a big poster on any board ( like with my friends i feel it takes alot of effort to maintain online relationships-as shameful as that is to admit) but it sure does feel good to put it out there. (it) representing feelings, thoughts, emotional baggage... the funny thing is i told my DH about my post and then i said in a melodramatic way of coarse " what if nobody responds? i already feel bad enough about myself, if i don't make friends online i am going to have you just shoot me." he :grouphug:. i am already enrolled in a pilates class that will start in june as long as doc clears me for it. so that is one step. i am considering going to one of the TOPS meetings too. i had a continue ed. class today and had lunch with a girl i barely know from the hospital, turns out we live in the same area and went to the same high school a year apart. we exchanged # and promised to get together soon. i am also going to try to use up some time by going to the gym. i know that it won't really kill me :pout: but boy am i dragging my feet on that. i feel like i am trying to head in the right direction, now all i have to do is get my feet to go right too!! i can't wait to find out what else is lurking in my head :eek -
:cry okay this is probably going to be bawl babyish but i have to say i need someone to help wipe away my tears. :think (being melodramatic) anyway, my issue is as follows: i am on my 5th week out and i am able to eat anything, i lost 20 and gained 5, but that is not bothering me too bad. i truly do feel like my cravings/hunger has been turned off. (good thing i know) i also can tell when i am actually hungry or not. so what is my problem you say? even though i am not hungry, i find myself scouring the cabinets and heading to fast food places and trying to eat even when i am not hungry. DH thinks i just need a fill, but i don't. now that i don't have food to comfort myself as much, and i don't have work since i have been off for surgery ( i am a bit of a workaholic) i have come to realize i don't have any more friends. i also don't have a life. :eekB: all i do is eat and watch tv when i don't work. hell i even have my house cleaned!! so since now i am forced to evaluate my food, i am tuning into myself and i have found i pushed all my friends away about 2 years ago for some insane reason (still haven't figured that one out). i also have no hobbies or outside the house activities. :help: i think i just spent $11,000 to find out i am bored and lonely and it is a bit of a shocker! suggestions and comments welcome!

Melanne Just a heads up here. I am 3 weeks out and i lost 7 lbs on the 10 day preop diet and then i lost 10 lbs the first week. went to the doc for follow up and he upgraded me to mushies and THE DAY OF MUSHIES i went up 2 lbs then proceeded to go up 3 more lbs within the week. (I am only eating apx 1200 cals/day) now my guess is i had lost alot of water weight as i was only eating 300-600 cals a day the first week, (starvation=glycogen depleation=water loss) and with the increased sodium intake on mushies some of that weight lose was water. imagine my dissapointment and reality check!! so if this happens to you, and i hope it doesn't!! i will tell you the same thing everyone i have complained to told me. It isn't going to happen overnight. although for some strange inexplicable reason i woke up from surgery and thought it would?? and i am still trying to convince myself to believe what i already know.:party: (3 weeks doesn't = 30 lbs) yeah i got that with the 10 lbs loss the first week!
