    Band too tight! How to manage

    Call them back and say you are miserable and afraid your band will slip because you are throwing up. Tell them you can come in and can wait till the dr can see you. If that doesn't work the. Ask to speak to his nurse or the dr about this. If you have injuries because you called and they refused to get you in...they could be legally responsible.
  2. I've read that some people get shoulder pain when they eat too much. But I've started HS ing left shoulder pain twice when I was hungry. Not sure why I'm getting this shoulder pain

    Shoulder pain

    It wasnt related to eating too much as it happened before I needed to eat. I think it had to do with the position I was in. But happened when sitting and lying on my side. Hasn't happened again. Lily http://lapbandontherun.blogspot.com/

    Not enough protein?

    You need to see your primary care doctor to make sure it's not diet relate. How's your blood pressure. Are you having any problems with shortness of breath?

    Protein Ideas?!?!?!

    Add beans to your diet. They are higher in protein. I eat cream of wheat for breakfast
  8. I know I've had sleep apnea since college and I was thin. So I'm not expecting anything earth shattering changes with my Cpap. I just wish someone asked me about my sleep since I've had issues since the 80's. When I was having a procedure I had to be incubated since I stopped breathing and was told to be tested for sleep apnea

    Fried Foods

    Why bother having weight loss surgery with fried foods. That's setting you in to fail
  15. Home around 4. Used daily fit pal to log food. On full liquids. Got my protein in. I kinda feel full and hungry. My stomach feels firm. Passed gas no issues. Coughed a little so even though I felt hungry I'm assuming my stomach says I'm full. So I stopped eating. Took 2 pain pills. Feels like I did a million sit ups.
