wohooo!! today i got to eat some actual food. mushy, easing into full solids in a few days. My doc was adament about 3 weeks liquids. first 7 clear other 2 full. Wasn't horrible because im a big fan of tomato soup but ohhh i am so thrilled to actually get to chew. I ate one of those sunkist tuna on the go kits. It was awesome and i couldn't even finish it all. Rock on to the band. And woohoooo go tuna!!:scared2:

Hi, someone told me about maybe a sheepskin cover for my bikeseat?? Im looking for something that will not hurt my bottom so much, I also need links to places to find it if you can. ill take any ideas you all have thanks.

see this is why i havent' weighed myself. So much obsessing about wether were doing things right and wow were not losing weight. I am on strike LOL.. I have not weighed myself since leaving the hospital. My doctor stressed to me that it is not about losing weight right now but healing. And the more stress i have the less i will accomplish both things. So darn it i need a sign and a picket line"i will not weigh", "i will not weigh" I feel better everyday, lighter if you may those are the things that tell me im losing some and my clothes do fit a lil different, but until the 29th of this month i will not weigh myself because i know i will also obsess about it. Stay positve my friends. If you only lose 1 lb thats 1 less you had before surgery, You all will do great i know it. Have a great day.

how much pizza did you eat? Pizza can be a decent food if you choose right and limit portion. whole wheat pizza with lowfat cheese and tomato sauce. I take my son for WIC appt. and the nutrion counselors say that pizza as healthy as you can make it in limited amounts it not a horrible food. good source of veg. and calcium and whole grain if you use the wheat crust. I wouldn't eat alot and not often so keep your head up chicky, put it behind you and move on. Your gonna do great

hey chic you might want to also post in the clothing xchange forum. But no worries on posting here.

i haven't had a fill yet, but i can't eat as much as i used to. Fri is my last day of liquids (3 weeks) Then im gonna try some semi solids in me and see if i stay full. I go for checkup on the 29th and if i don't think i have enough restricition i will ask for a Fill.

yay!!! good job girl you rock in it!!:frown:

awesome!!! way to go girl, time is gonna fly now

Hey all my military friends come vist at the military spouse unite sub forum under the social chat. Great fun!!

bgrand, i would ask to be filled under fluroscopy (sp?) That is the safest way to make sure their is no leeks and that they do not accidently puncture the your tubing.

Here ya go i hope this helps its a great link for the lap band. I have the AP large 14CC LAP-BAND Central - The LAP-BAND AP System

i was told it wasn't about the size of the band, but the size of the stoma.

okay don't panic. can you have yogurt? jello? I am also in full liquids, i have to be on liquids for 3 weeks. first 7 clear. I have chosen not to weigh myself at all until the 4 week checkup. You might just want to stop doing that to LOL..I have had several people commment that i look to be losing weight(i take that as a good sign) I try to eat sensibly without killing a bunch of soup. or doing the low carb, health request ones. so for me i try to do something along the lines of this during the week: b-sugar free breakfast carnation mxed with skim milk l-yogurt snack: sugar free jello cup dinner: soup I try not to eat dinner after 7 pm and do not snack after that time. I don't usually feel really hungry, sometimes my tummy is a lil grumbly before dinner but if i find something to occupy my mind low and behold i easily hold out. Hope this helps ya, just remember to breath. Really i believe my doc when he says this time is for healing, we can do this girl!!

well for me, im still a newbie but the thing i do most is watch my calories. go to www.thedailyplate.com start logging what you are eating you'll be surprised how many calories your eating and not even know it. calories in your drinks, foods, etc can get out of hand fast. My typical meal right now is: b-carnation instant breakfast, 1 cup skim milk mixed l-yogurt snack-sugar free jello cup dinner- some kind of soup I do not eat after 7 pm and try not to snack after dinner. I though am still in the liquid stage so i dont' know how helpful i am being. But you might want to restart the phases, do 7 days liquids, 7 days mushies, then add back solids and see if that doesn't jump start your body for ya. Also their is a great low carb dieters unite thread here in the food and nutrition forum. Good luck, you can do this!!
