A thread is a number of posts (and replies) with a title. A post is a reply to the first post in a thread, it's continued posts/replies. Hope that helps. -
I only get sore when I move the wrong way and the port pulls. It goes away in a few moments.

I love it too cute. Using it along with my monthly photos. Fairly accurate I must say, except for no sagging LOL -
Congratulations that is wonderful news. Bet you feel terrific. Way to go girl!!!!!!!

Have you talked to your doctor about relocating your port so it won't stick out so much? They can do it.

I had my first fill Sept 19th and it was so not a problem, one quick pinch ( the did not even numb me) and it was over in less than a minute. don't worry.

Okay, what are these "pb"s I keep hearing about?
Shamrockgirl60 replied to Cardinal55's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Almost two months since banding and well the weight loss is so wonderful a few big burps and occasionally a bit of discomfort from eating too fast or two big a bite is a small price to pay for how I feel otherwise. Don't worry too much but remember to chew, chew, chew and small bites all the time. -

It's been 12 day's, Why am I still so tired
Shamrockgirl60 replied to Guene's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Depending on your weight, and your age, I was tired the first two weeks. Now I have twice as much energy as I did. Just rest when you can and get up and walk every day for at least 15 minutes at a time, once or twice a day to start. It helps. Remember to have your protein that will give you energy. Good luck -
Your right it didn't hurt just a quick pinch is all I felt. The Nurse Practitioner did it in one try she's good LOL. I feel less restriction for some strange reason, but still following my small meals program. Thanks:tongue2:

I am finding that the recommended eating from my weight loss center program is very very low carbs. They insist that you do protein first, then veggies then if you have a bit of wiggle room carbs. So if you eat as directed your eating low carb. What carbs I have are good ones. Smart Pasta with Omega 3 and protein, pita bread made with flax seed and whole wheat bread. Brown rice. No white flour or white rice, no sugar either.

Feel Like I'm being scammed. Does this sound right???
Shamrockgirl60 replied to winthropgrad08's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Sounds like a scam, I have full insurance and have only had to pay a few small co-pays for some of the shrink group meetings. No pays for fill or visits due to the surgery. I would check and find another place, most big hospitals have a Weight Loss Center and they handle everything. -
Wow congratulations on your loss. I hope I will be there by next year. Going slowly but I am feeling so much better. Hope you Celebrate by going out and buying a killer outfit LOL

So many questions -
Shamrockgirl60 replied to clg62084's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't work but there was no way I could do anything for the first week. Your in some pain and sore and want to sleep it off. Your bloated from the gas they pump into you to move your innards around. You are on only liquids and are weak as a kitten (at least I was). I felt a lot better about 3 weeks out. But then again I am 60 years old. Best to take at least a week off. -

I feel like a crack addict.... <caffeine>
Shamrockgirl60 replied to kaytiebugs's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I quit caffeine for 7 weeks. I just started having one cup of coffee in the morning, what a treat. I feel better with just one. The doctor said I am healed enough to tolerate it. It gets me going in the AM. No caffeine at all during the day or evening. I just missed my morning cup of Joe LOL -

This is a new thread, and we post on it welcome to the site. It's won't take you time to figure out things. No haven't heard of them, but I was in pain for about a week and a half after my surgery now I am feeling great. It takes time. Join the September 2008 group it's in the forums list. Take care and this is the place for answers to any of your questions. Pati -
I am finally on solid food, but I still like my sip soups LOL I drink as much as I can but still am constipated, so I have a colace once a day, it helps. I also don not eat any protein bars or granola, I was told not to do so. They can get stuck in your smaller stomach and be painful. I do have one cup of coffee in the morning now with fat free half and half and spenda, it's a real treat and well it sure helpw with my BW's LOL.
