    port hurt after eating????

    TeganRheana replied to Elzinga2005's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Oh I am SOOOOOOOO Glad you said this....I am only 2.5months out but I have had this really tender pain near my port incision twice and the only thing I could attribute it to was overeating *slaps herself on the hand*.... I felt it for the first time about a week ago when I was in the shower but thought I had just bent over wrong or something, but after having dinner tonight and feeling really full I now have the pain again...so it must be due to that.

    Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum *Update* Ok it's been about 2.5months now ..and although I have been on a plateau for about a month, I think there is still a definite difference ...I hope! lol First pic was taken a week before surgery (7 May)...second pic taken today whilst sorting out something to wear for a friends '80s theme party coming up in a couple of weeks... I can't wait until my 2nd fill (13 August) to hopefully start losing some more weight again! PS- How do you all attach the thumbnails of u'r pics instead of posting the links??

    Heya!! I just read your intro and I can't believe how much you sound like me!! LOL...I too have been overweight my entire life...I too am 5'9 and we're nearly the same age too LOL. Congrats on getting banded! :) How much weight have you lost so far?? I've been on a plateu now for a good month or so :( Waiting to get my 2nd fill on 13 August..anyway, keep in touch and goodluck with everything!

    5th Day out and yes I ate Chicken!!

    TeganRheana replied to 1234567890-'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I really think RestlessMonkey nailed it in her first post I didn't cheat in my first few weeks of being banded from fear of the band slipping etc so I would definately say "DON'T DO IT!" lol (it will make the chicken strip even tastier when you are able to eat it too!! call it food foreplay! lol) That being said....I do now! :smile2: I am constantly picking myself up on it....it is very very hard to spend 24yrs eating whatever you want, whenever you want and then turn around and change that behaviour overnight. I am not proud that I cheat and I will not make excuses for it, but I am aware that I do it and I keep trying to change it....for me, that is all I can ask for.... I really just can't wait to get to my "sweet spot" so that I can use this tool (the band) to help me conquer my "hunger" more effectively.

    Hey Annie, I'm good....still haven't lost any more weight, I've been on a plateau for a good month now...not very encouraging...can't wait for my next fill (13 August)!!! I have realised though that I still have a lot of work that I need to do re: eating the right foods and of course more exercise...but I am getting there. How are you doing with your eating? WHat types of food do you have for morning, lunch, dinner etc..do you still find yourself snacking throughout the day (I DO)...are you doing any exercise?? I'm so jealous that you've lost so much weight! lol

    Yep! I just posted in another similar thread...I have only had one fill to 4cc in a 10cc band, I feel like I am hungry all the time and I haven't lost any weight since getting the fill...I brought my appointment for my second fill forward because I've been so worried about not losing any weight....I just can't wait to get to that spot where I will be losing weight continuously (if there is such a thing).
  13. TeganRheana
    I am exactly the same. I have a 10cc band and have only had one fill upto 4cc...and since then, I haven't lost ANY weight. I feel like I am constantly hungry and was worried about having to wait until my second fill which was scheduled for Sept 9....so I called up and brought my appointment forward to August 13th...I honestly CAN'T WAIT until I get jabbed with that needle again! lol
  14. TeganRheana

    Ah, well I did send you one lol bloody computers lol. Was just checkin in on your progress :) I can't believe how much weight you have lost, that is fantastic! :) What are you filled upto now? I am still at 4cc from my first fill....had an appointment for september 9 but have been freaking out about not losing any weight so I called up yesterday and got it brought forward to august 13! YAY! :) I am really really looking forward to getting my second fill as I'm really starting to feel hungry all the time again now and it's worrying me. Did you feel much difference between the first and second fill??

  15. TeganRheana
    Heya Annie, did you not get my pm to you??! lol How you doin? 44pnds that's awesome!! Well done! I haven't skipped a period but mine are irregular anywayz as I have the implanon in, but prior to being banded when I lost a lot of weight before, I didn't get a period for a while. I was told by my doc it was cause of the weight loss, it messes with your hormones. It could also be stress (that has happened to me before too!) I just googled it and found this list ... Why do some women's periods stop altogether (amenorrhoea)? Periods can stop for a number of reasons. The most common are: pregnancy. premature menopause (this can affect women in their early twenties). weight loss. weight gain. some forms of medication including the contraceptive pill or injections. drug abuse. stress. hormonal imbalances such as an underactive thyroid gland or the overproduction of a hormone called prolactin. a condition called polycystic ovaries is a very common cause of irregular or absent periods.

    Can I have unprotected sex?

    TeganRheana replied to Loving everyday's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Ok, first of all it's responses like these from people that make me nervous about asking any questions on here....aren't we all here to support each other? OP, I would also agree that if your on antibiotics (or have been) then definitely use a backup to the pill....I also became pregnant w/ my first baby after being on antibiotics even though I took the pill religiously (this is the reason I have been using the implanon ever since as it go's through your bloodstream and not your digestive system).

    Red meat?

    TeganRheana posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I just wondered if anyone else is having trouble eating red meat. I can eat chicken, mince and fish with no problems at all, I can even have ham...but red meat (steak) just doesn't go down and I end up bringing it back up. I have always loved my meat so not being able to eat it is hard. Anyone else?

    Red meat?

    TeganRheana replied to TeganRheana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    **update** Well I had a peice of steak tonight for dinner and it didn't come back up!!! YAY!! I didn't cook it for very long but let it sit on a plate so it was medium/rare'ish....quite pink...but it was delicious! :smile: I'm stoked! First time I have had it without any problems. I guess the key really is how much it is cooked. Thanks for everyones responses, it has been very encouraging and informative! :Dancing_wub:

    TeganRheana replied to Loving everyday's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Husband says, "Don't fill"

    TeganRheana replied to sunnycard's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I was banded for me....but also for my kids! They are a huge part of the reason I decided to get it done. I want to be happy, fit and healthy to see them grow up! If it were me, I would get it filled. Goodluck with your decision.
  22. TeganRheana
    HAHAHA:thumbup: I LOVE that!!! I get the same thing from my inlaws, everytime I see them they ask how much weight I have lost even though it had only been a couple of days between visits (hence the reason I didn't want them to know in the first place because I didn't want to feel the pressure *grrrr hubby*)...it starts to wear after a while.
