Would you get breast implant.....??
Allison replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have ginormous boobs right now, I'm a 40 DDD, I'm hoping with loosing weight I'll end up a big C or a smaller D, I've always had big boobs, even in middle school. I'm hoping that I don't need any surgery, but I do want them to look like a normal 20 year olds boobs and not my grandmas. If things arn't the way I want them I would probably have surgery, at least a lift. If I have a terrible apron I'd want a tummy tuck too, I'm hoping I have my age going for me so it might go back to "normal" but its pretty far gone so who knows hahaha. -
Hey Lucy!! I've been looking for you!! Yeah I'm pretty much doing the same, I have a really hard time getting up, the first couple days I needed to holler for someone to come lift me lol. I've been hiding out in my room so I don't see the food everyone else is eating. The first couple days I was really nauseous and dizzy, and I'm just starting to feel like myself again. I've been off pain meds, they were making me sick, and am now just taking extra strength tylenol, although I don't really feel it doing much. I'm glad your getting positive! The first couple days I just kept thinking, oh god what did I do to myself!?!?!?! Congrats on your weight loss and keep in touch! Do you still have your bandages on? I had to replace them after I showered, I didn't like just having the staples open, they kept moving around and getting caught on my clothes. I hate staples I wish they had glued them shut or something. Keep in touch!!!!

Hey everyone, I just got my band on Thursday and while I was in the hospital I was contantly being pumped with anti-nausea meds. I know that with the band, vomiting can severly damage it and possibly cause slippage. Does anyone know of any good meds I can take to quickly prevent nausea if I feel it coming on??? I have been known to get sick a lot and I don't see my surgeon for two weeks. Thanks I would appreciate any tips! Allison

Hey there!! I had my surgery on Thursday, I've been in a lot of pain and really really nauseous the past couple days, but the nausea comes and goes. There were a lot of times the past couple days when I totally regretted the decision and was like, what have I done to myself?!?! I'm just starting to feel a little better. I hope everything is going well with you!

Hey there!!! I hope your feeling better now!!! I felt awful until late last night when I finally went and hung out with my friend for the first time since surgery. Keep in touch!
-
Ugh I hear you, I can't wait to start eating regular foods! Even scrambled eggs would be awesome!!! I'm on nothing but yogurt, pudding, and creamy Soups for 2 weeks :thumbup:
-
I haven't noticed anything different, my clothes pretty much fit the same, although I've been wearing sweats since surgery pretty much. My mom says she thinks my face looks slimmer, I think I'm still pretty swollen from surgery though, its so exciting to see all of your success!!!! Congrats! I can't wait to post something here!!!
-
I'm finally not nauseous anymore, but there is still a lot of pain, I'm glad that I can just focus on me, I have two little dogs that sleep with me and I feed and play with and walk them and such, but right now my dad and the rest of my family is taking care of them while I get my rest. Good luck everyone and congrats!

Thanks everyone!!! Saturday night I started feeling really nauseous, dizzy, and lightheaded. I could barely get water down! It wasn't until late last night I went out with a friend and finally started feeling normal again!!! I'm so glad I can feel myself getting better now, thanks for all the support!!!!!!!!

Hey! I was feeling really nauseous and dizzy, and just started feeling better late last night. The staff and all the nurses were so great when I was at the hospital. I have another appointment on the 11th I think? I definately want to go to the meeting on the 24th, good luck with everything!!! -
Hey Ddem we got banded on the same day!!!! Good to see your feeling better!!!
-
Congrats!! I can already feel restriction and I have just been banded! Eating is so strange now, I'm so used to wolfing down an entire chicken pot pie in 10 mins (alright one of the personal sized ones but still... ) Now it takes me 15 -25 mins to get a yogurt down! I'm sure this will stop once all this swelling goes down.

I felt amazing after surgery all day thursday, and even all day friday. It wasn't until sometime Saturday afternoon I was struck with the most intense nausea, dizzyness, and lightheadedness ever!! I could barely move and I kept thinking, WHAT DID I DO TO MYSELF!!!!!!! I'm glad your starting to feel better too!!!!!
-
Yay everyone!!! Congrats! I can't believe I actually went through with all this either, but I'm so glad I did!!! Thanks for all the good thoughts!!!!! The first couple days I felt awful after all the meds from the hospital wore off, I was super sore, dizzy, lightheaded, and nauseous. Just last night I finally went out and hung out with my friend, it felt so good to get out and it feels so good to feel like myself again! Now I just can't wait until I can start on some real foods! I'm so sick of yogurt, pudding, and strained soups! I just want to eat some real chicken noodle, chicken and noodles included! Lol. Congrats again everyone!!!!!!!!!

Weigh in... how much have u lost?
Allison replied to Southern Missy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Congrats Jess!!!! I don't think I've been under 200 since probably 9th grade!!!! I still have a bit to go, but I've managed to loose 16 pounds already! I have a hard time celebrating because my weight usually fluctuates so much, but I haven't seen it go back up in the last couple weeks, and that is really encouraging! -
Yay I'm finally starting to feel like myself again! I felt awful the first couple days but finally left my house to do something fun last night!
-
Oh no! I just ordered the unflavored unjury and the chocolate one. I drink mostly crystal light and was wondering if I could pour it in that. I'm gonna try pouring it in things like yogurt, pudding and creamy chicken soup to ass some more protein. I should have ordered it sooner, I've been barely able to get one atkins shake down :thumbup: Hopefully I'll start feeling even better once i can get more protein in.
-
I haven't been on in a few days I've been having some awful nausea, it finally stopped and now I'm trying to get in some more calories and protein, the first couple days it was hard getting in half of a protein shake and a bottle of water, but my appetite is starting to seriously come back, and now all I want is a big block of cheddar cheese!
-
Hey there, thanks! I'm just starting to feel like myself again! I felt ok right after surgery but I think it was all the pain meds I was pumped full of haha. I left my house for the first time last night, I'm starting to feel really good. Do you know when you'll get banded?? Best of luck and keep me posted
-
Ugh I have like no appetite at all! I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat normally ever again! I think I'm just being paranoid, and its hard learning to eat so slow, even when all I can eat right now is pudding and yogurt and such. I've been stuck at this same weight since surgery! I feel like crap and I can't wait to start feeling like myself again!!!!

I called and my doctor gave me the suppositories Sue reccommended, most likely because we have the same doctor lol. I'm experiencing a lot of lightheadedness, weakness and dizzyness right now, not so much nausea anymore. I just can't seem to win. I'm just resting in bed now, I think I might have done a little too much walking around and exzerting myself today. Thanks for all the tips!
