I'm down 30 lbs. Hooray...but I thought it would be more by now. Eating little but sometimes throwing up because of the pain. I don't want another fill yet so I haven't called for an appointment. Will keep losing as is I hope. Waiting for the new gym to open.

My Dr said that the pain in the left shoulder is becasue when you eat or drink too much or too fast your stomach distends and it then presses on a nerve tht goes to your left shoulder. Drink slower, don't gulp...that helpped me in the beginning. That pain hurt me for hours until I found out what it really was.

I can eat bread if its toasted and I take out the guts. I hate subway but would sure love an italian hoagie right about now. I can eat pizza though...a whole slice but I miss the italian bread and salad I used to have with it.

Hi. I was banded 2/14/06 and am stuck at the 30lb loss for over 2 weeks. I am eating small amounts but sometimes the darn food gets stuck and I make myself throw it up because of the pain! I am happy with the loss, just wish it was more. I eat so little why don't I lose more??? I am not exercising yet...I just joined a new gym that has yet to open. I am a pre-k teacher and on the move all day with the kids but not walking or exercising regularly. I know exactly how you feel... I don't understand why we only lose 1-2 lbs a week when we eat soooo little. I only had one fill and don't want another one!! I still have things get stuck so I think that one fill was enough for me. start wt-266 todays wt 236

Ummmmm, can you send ME all the dirty posts???? I've never seen them. :biggrin1: Seriously...if you don't like what you're reading turn the page. I think you guys are funny and like reading your posts.

I'm allergic but thoses photos were soooooo funny. Still laughing....:funnypost:

I think more people should check it out. It's easier then finding replies to your questions and comments. Plus you can talk to each other right away. Come on y'all chat, chat, chat. I keep myself signed in while I type other things so I can hear if anyone enters to chat with...try it please...it's cool to talk to everyone thru chat.

HI all. I have a question about my new band. Was banded 2/14 and I am still sooooo darn uncomfortable. How uncomfortable am I supposed to be? I feel like someone is sitting on my chest and stomach. The Percocet is in pill form so I am swallowing 1/2 at a time and it tastes bad...don't know why I didn't get liquid meds...would have been much better. I'm kinda wishin I didn't do this...I thought I'd be better by now 5 days later already. Why do I get hiccups? They hurt too. I am drinking a little Protein shake now because feel hungry...tired of Clear liquids...so can anyone tell me how long it takes to feel better? I was hoping to be out shopping by tomorrow...don't think so. I have the week off and will be in bed still. My calf muscles are hurting if I get up and walk around because I'm in bed so much. Not horrible pain but I hate this lump in my stomach...am I always going to feel it? I bet every fill will feel like this too? GOD I'm regretting it already...help

I* will venture out today. I need a few things from Shop Rite. Gas-x and some food. Hopefully I can start eating a few things now. Will try. Need a new battery for that scale too, it keeps giving all different kinds of readings.

Yes it's there. On top in the blue line see it says lbt chat. It's cool. I know, no-one is ever in there...I go in and see people go in and out quick they never type anything...If you ever go in stay a few minutes because others check it out too and if you stay a few minutes maybe someone will talk. I will that's for sure.:clap2:

I don't know why everyone is different with the liquids....it's weird. I even see that some peoples pands are different sizes. I don't know what size I got I think 5cc??? I saw someone had one that's 11cc. I wonder why

Thanks for all the replies. So it's still gas? I don't really pass that much...I am going to the supermarket now to buy a few things for the mushy stage and will pick up the gas-x I think. My Dr said to start mushy in one week so I was going to try some today which is one day before a week. Tired of clear liquids.

Hi photonut. I'm supposed to be on clear liquids for 1 week then move on to mushy foods on Tuesday. But I tried some protein shake today. So the pain is still gas????? Hmmmmm, Maybe some swelling too? I hate this already. I hope it works because the discomfort is ridiculous. :think

I loe the chat room...have spoken to dawg and a few others there. How come so few are using it? I read something the other day about maybe someone had 2 personalities or something...is that why??? Just wondering

I still feel like crap. Missing food but can't eat anyway. Having trouble drinking sips of clear liquids. Drinking powerade, broth, jello and ice pops. I still feel pain in my stomach, hate chewing the pain pills...uh liquid is avail. why did they give me pills. Will ask Dr on Tuesday. Eric trying to help out but at night when he drinks he says stupid ass things. Called me a douchbag, baby, asshole, bitch...wow this is really helpful in my healing process. Todayhe put some clothes away...not mine only his. At least he is trying to keep house clean, complaining all the way but trying. Will take Nicholas out to Taco Bell for lunch I think so will be quiet a few minutes (I Hope).

No, uh huh, nooo way, not me. I can't even swallow liquids. I am supposed to drink like 32 oz per day and am having trouble with that. No wonder I already lost 10 lbs. I still have pain, feels like someone is sitting on me. Don't even want to think about eating foods yet. Surgery was on the 14th so only 4 day ago. I'll stick to gatorade, Soup broth and Jello for the rest of the week. Tried to do my ticker and it doesn't look right. Can someone tell me how do to the ticker??? Do I have to cut and past it every time??? Can I put it in my journal too?? Thanks

and in pain. Why didn't I get liquid pain medication? Chopping up the pills is gross, tastes soo freaking gross. I am having trouble gettin in and out of bed without help. I think the port is where the most pain is. Have a follow up with Dr Trivedi on Feb 21 at 10:30 am.

WEnt to SR today and bought liquids for first week or two. Snapple, juice to water down and sports drinks. HOpe Eric and Nick don't drink them all. I am going to make my favorite pizza tonight for dinner. I won't be able to hav it again fro quite a while. So nervous about missing food. How do people do this???? I can't stand it but I have to do it. The thought of it makes me crazy. Expecially the liquid and mushy stages for a few weeks not days. Then I won't even lose weight until my first fill from what I read over and over. Will see.l
