Our psychologist recommended a book "Mindless Eating" by Brian Wansink. I read it before surgery. I thought it was really good. It talks about the difference between stomach hunger and head hunger. I think we all have a lot of mindless eating!

Banded Tuesday the 18th...need help!!!!
2bthinagn replied to bandster_1007's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The needing to burp thing gradually went away with me. Then when I could burp it was like it came from clear down in my knees. Our Doctor told us they absolutely DID NOT want us to throw up. I would call the doctor and let them advise you on that. -
I have lost the equivalent of one of my grandkids. It would be like carrying them around on my hip all day, MY POOR BACK!!!!!

Have you had a fill? If so, maybe you need a slight unfill. Maybe stay on liquids til you see the Doctor too. I have read that on here. You may be inflamed and swollen some. Definitely call the Doc, my Doctor degree expired a long time ago! LOL

I thought I saw somewhere a breakfast cookie someone made. Had protein in it. I cant find it anywhere. Along with my protein shake I sometime like something to chew. Anyone have a recipe for something to fit that??? Thanks

I have started going to an Arthritis swim class. Swimming has always given me the munchies, so I am taking a granola or protein bar with me to eat on the way home. And of course my water.

August Bandsters How are you Doing So Far
2bthinagn replied to MissNilsa's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Somehow I lost contact with other August bandsters. I have been eating things I know I shouldnt. I went on a girls vacation ate wrong and still managed to lose 3 1/2 lbs over about 10 days. I am certainly not back up to my presurgery eating habits, but am afraid I am slipping backwards. I have had 1 fill and am going in 10-22 for the second one. Hope it gives me some restriction, I feel like right now I am using will power only. -
I was banded 8-8. Have had 1 fill and have an appt 10-22 for another. I am not restricted at all, and like you I feel like I could eat anything. I am eating things that I know I shouldnt but am trying to hang in there til Monday. Last time I weighed (10-15) I was still losing although just 1 1/2lbs. So I guess I am not over the edge just yet!

My hospital supposedly wrote it off. Good Luck. I agree the doctors office should have known this before hand, it wouldnt have been a big deal to stay overnite.
-
Hi Barb, doing OK. Even lost while I was on vacation. I was shocked. I need to go get another fill though. I have an appointment Monday. Glad to hear you are out and about!!

Has anyone heard from UN5-3051? Havent seen anything from her on here in quite awhile, hope everything is OK with her.

Actually the website says there are 4 Centers of Excellence in Missouri. Although I believe the Doctor that was doing them in Sedalia no longer does lapbands. The 4 listed are: Barnes Jewish Hospital, Bothwell Regional Health Center, SSM DePaul Health Center, St. Alexius Hospital
-
Thanks I tried again yesterday and it loaded. Congrats on your success!
-
Medicare wouldnt pay my hospital bill saying that with lapband the hospital has to be an overnite stay. Didnt make sense to me. Why are you going to Detroit may I ask, several Centers of Excellence in Missouri now??
-
Wendall, I have tried several times to look at your before and after photos. They wont download.Any suggestions?? Always enjoy your informative posts! Thanks
-
Goodluck on your surgery this week. And congrats on your preop weightloss!
-
There are several threads here for lapband vs bypass, you might do a search. Lots of pros and cons brought out. One is that recoup time will be longer for bypass.....my son is in Iraq for his 3rd deployment. My heart goes out to you. Take care

YEAH JEANETTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on 90!!

Plastic Surgery Terms for Weight Loss Patients
2bthinagn replied to New Hope's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I always thought no p/s for me. But maybe so if covered. -
Each doctor does have different instructions. My Doc had me on solid soft food at about a week. Cottage cheese and eggs never tasted so good! Hang in there.

I was visiting with my grandkids last week and the daughter-in-law had cooked dinner (thats unusual in itself) I had taken a bite of garlic bread...chew chew chew...woops....a HAIR! ! ! ! Out came the whole bite with a 12in hair attached. DIL almost threw up, I apologized, but it was HER hair. Gag me, thats what I got for trying to eat bread!
