    Daily intake?

    Now that most of us are around 7 months, I was wondering what everyone is eating each day? Can you list what you eat for each meal and how much. I am in a horrible plateau (mostly my own fault I know) and wondered if I am eating too much?? Thanks.

    Poll! Eating and drinking

    I tend to get bloated and stuck feeling if eating and drinking at the same time I have noticed.....although if the food is very spicy I do have sips of something while eating.

    Females - Surgery questions...

    No cath for me. The nurse had told me I could wear my undies until I went in for surgery (I had a little wait)....but I forgot to take them off before surgery.....needless to say they gave them to me in a little baggy after surgery. I was so embarrassed.
  7. There are very few people irl that know about my surgery. Now that I have lost almost 50lbs it is showing and when I see someone I haven't seen in a while they all ask "What diet are you doing? You look great! etc...." I know they are trying to be complementary however I am very uncomfortable telling people I am not that close with and prefer not to discuss it. I am so uneasy lying to people - it is just not in my nature. A friend of mine who had LB surgery said she tells people she is/has "done everything she possibly can to lose weight" and that is where I have been going with it these days....but that doesn't always work. People seem to want to know WHAT specific plan you are on. What do you tell people?

    Surgeons in INDIANAPOLIS

    I had Dr. Brenda Cacucci. She is with the Carmel Surgical Specialists thru Carmel St. Vincent Hosp. She was great.

    Volumetric Incentive Spirometer

    Mine gave me one during my pre-op testing and I had to bring it to the hospital with me. I think it was useful. I did the required breathing and could see improvement daily.

    Day of fill...

    Mine has no requirements and has mentioned that I should eat that day because I won't be able to for a day or two.

    Finally have restriction...but is it too much?

    Hey Crystal....the only thing about the pre-op diet that bothers me (I did NOT have a pre-op diet.....I had pizza the night before surgery!) is that people who were banded around the same time I was have often lost a LOT more, but 1/2 of that was pre-band. Actually finding out it was pre-band makes me feel a little better because my wl has been slower! I guess I haven't figured out the point of the pre-op diet.
  14. Anyone else feel like their feet are getting smaller with their weightloss? I swear the pair I have on have grown a size or more on me....they used to fit just fine now I had to stuff kleenex in the toes just to keep them on! Am I alone here?
  15. Hello to all! As of June 20th - my 4 month bandiversary I have lost 42 lbs. I have had 4 fills (I think) and one slight unfill. I am at 4cc in a 10cc band.
