    Gas Pain In My Left Shoulder!! :[

    Yes they blow your stomach up w/ C2o to see what they are doing laporscopically... they remove as much as they can but.... a day or so post op it is horrible and Dr. did say it tends to settle in the upper left side of body. My sam experience Gas X does not work because it is not intestinal it is from the surgery walk a lot it should be gone in 5 to 7 days sorry this too shall pass!:thumbup:

    Oct 07 Bandsters - how are you doing?

    Dlyrical responds YOU ARE THE ONE DOING GREAT! I feel like you do, only I can eat more oz per meal about 5 or 6oz but I am averaging 14 to 16lbs a mo. But sometimes I wonder If our newer larger band w/ impoved design w/ no gaps is the cause...for the rapid loss compared to our peers? thanks for all your motivation right behind you now! 56lbs lost as of 2/1/08 since surgery 10/2/07 :biggrin:

    Weight Loss Totals

    OH yes! I am sitting her on Lunch now with A bite of a Salmon Patty stuck in my Chest! :smile: You really have to slow down.... I will learn eventually because this adjsutment was the real, "real adjustment" I can eat 5 to 6.5 oz at a time but i need to really slow down. Never up chucked until this last adjustment... (ok just ran to bathroom @ work) my problem is swallowing too many bites behind each other and my pipe gets backed up... but anyway I am good I eat between 600 and 800 calories a day log in a journal... this really makes a difference... only work out 3 to 5 dys a week at gym... My concern w/ some of my lapband peers is the amt of calories some consume so early!... once in awhile I have a cheat day like christmas but I can only eat so much!.. I have never even gotten close to 1100 calories at our stage if you consume 800 to 900 cals you WILL LOOSE 14 to 18 lbs a month! all my peers at work have the same loss records... there are 5 of us who had surgery w/ in 3 mos of each other GOOD LUCK...

    This is to CHANGE. I too have an AP 14 cc band and never felt restriction unitl yesterday I went from 4cc (didn't have restiction) used my own dedication to keep self on track somewhat. But today a day later with 7cc I feel like this thing might really work better since I am full after 40z instead of 6 or 7 oz of Oatmeal!

    O.k. I gained 6.6 lbs on 12/27/7 due to picking @ little piece's of pound cake, cheesecake, holiday cookies, and brownies. Normally I don't do much of the sugar. Usually I have to watch baked chips and snack foods. But all the cookie trays were out 3 holiday dinners eve, day and after... mind you It was only 4 cookies on day 1, 1/2 slice cheesecake day 2, and few treats on dinner day 3... Anyway I knew I had adjustment scheduled for 1/2/08 and I knew I wanted more weight loss on that day so I replaced lunch w/ a protein drink increased my H20 and really stayed closer to 700 calories. and tadah I dropped 5.1 :scared:of the Holiday pounds.( THIS LOSS WAS GUILT DRIVEN BELIEVE ME!) In my mind success w/my local peers is 12 to 15 lbs per month so I needed to have at least a 40 lb loss. Now I stopped logging meals the last week in December and I know it has to be a part of our lives for now at least go to the Dollar store get a 5 x7 notebook. list breakfast, snack , Lunch, etc Calories, Fat, and Protein. on the bottom list your vitamins calcium H20 and excercise.. THIS WILL KEEP you in check.... I still deal w/ head hunger but that is why Im here with all of you.... Im new but I love this site.... :heh:

    failing miserably at this right now!

    Stop waiting for scheduled appointments see you Dr. and express you concerns.Log you food remember you should only be consumint 600 to 800 calories a day. you have to work w/ your Dr. "hello I need a fill prior to my next appt." believe me you will see better results w/ proper restriction and logging you daily intake, Make sure you get 64 oz of water for the next 3 days check you weight then .. remember 600 to 800 calories a DAY!

    YES YOU NEED A FILL CALL THE DR. I was eating 6 to 7 oz to feel full .. I knew this was too much so I called and went from 4ml to 7 ml yesterday 1/2/08 and baby I have restriction at its best! I have not been able to really eat much sticking to liquids did have some pretzels w/ my chicken soup but I am full! Remember this is a tool that needs timely adjustments you have not stretched your stomach ask you Dr. if he will adjust you w/ flouroscopy so you can see your band and pouch. So you will feel better.
