Will I Ever Stop Thinking About Food?!
debbie_7155 replied to serenity55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
the surgeons fix your body, but unfortunatly they cant fix your brain to stop thinking about foods, I dont miss large helpings because i dont allow myself to be deprived of any foods.. your not dieting, its up to you to chose sensible foods but that doesnt mean your not allowed to have the foods you crave for, I dont believe any food is bad, what is bad is the portion size of it & once banded you should only be able to eat small amounts, Head hunger is what we have to control, ask yourself are you drinking enough fluids, exercising, etc etc... Remember the band isnt to make your life hell.. its to give you a life & have the foods we enjoy but in much smaller quantities Take your time eating the foods, you should stay fuller for longer, use a side plate for meals, i often leave food on my plate & it still amazes me how little ive eaten but how comfortable my tummy is & that still makes me smile :rolleyes2: -

PLEASE HELP, overfilled need advice
debbie_7155 replied to dejageel's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
cant you go to the A&E ?, if not & your really thirsty suck an ice cube until doctor calls you ? call the doctor again, they might be dealing with another emergency ? or just forgotton about you? good luck -
I had to eat normal solid foods with my fill, they only do small fills at a time so there's no complications of foods being stuck, throwing up etc

walk walk walk.. your going to be swallen & it can take days for the bruising to come out which can make you very sore too.. use soft pillows to cushion your port side when sitting, it does get better, just keep telling yourself its only for a few days then when you start to lose your weight you will forget about the pain side

Anyone have trouble/get stuck with fingernails?
debbie_7155 replied to lotzasunshine's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
oh my.. sorry but that is gross..lol.. i cant imagine it would get stuck unless your biting big chunks ? habits are hard to break, can you not paint your nails with that horrible taste thing stops you from biting them? or reward yourself to manicures for losing weight? -
I too was a little worried, but i laughed all the way through mine.. im very ticklish on my tummy & she said its good to laugh it made her find my port straight away :wub: The drawing of the fluid is a weird feeling & that really made me have the giggles..lol

being accused of cheating
debbie_7155 replied to JENNIFER7375's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LoL Good for you girl, & i dont consider getting banded is cheating, If she had bothered to read more about it & realize we still have to make good food choices & EXERCISE to make the band work for us, mmmm skinny bitch & DUMB i would have called her LOLOLOLOLOLOL -
I too can feel my port, though sometimes it feels like it moves about & dont feel it all the time, try laying on your back & give it a prod about, though im sure its nothing to worry about, i dont think everyone can feel there's ? give your doc a call just to put your mind at rest
