You still did great Leslie...every ounce counts!! I like your "Last weigh of 08" or how about the "New Year~New You" challenge? ...if anybody has any other suggestions, we could put it up for a vote.

Way to go Barb! I've added your info to the list. GOAL REACHED ******NAME********START WEIGHT*****CURRENT WEIGHT******GOAL********LBS.

I have not noticed any difference since the band...I have allergies so I get the nasal problems regularly. Finding meds that will not get stuck is a whole other thing though. This topic brings to mind one other nasal issue...and before you think I am just nuts, LOL, I had discussed this with others here a while back and I am not the only one. But I have found that with the band, if I get too full I will get post nasal drip. :teeth_smile:

It could be due to your liquid diet, could also be the type of Protein shake you are using, I have a friend who has this problem on certain shakes high in fiber (fiber also causes gas).

Constipation after surgery is common. My surgeons' nurse explained all of this to me at my pre-op visit, so I was prepared. It is caused by gastrointestinal stress from surgery, high protein/low fiber diet and sometimes the medications we are given afterwards. I was told to try different things and find the thing that works for me. Some suggestions were: Milk of Magnesia (experiment until you get the smallest dose necessary to get the job done) Miralax FiberSure or any liquid fiber supplement Prunes/Prune juice (I was told to avoid the stimulant type stuff like Correctol, they can cause cramps and long-term use can be habit forming) I started out using the Milk of Magnesia. It did the job but sometimes it would throw me into the opposite problem--KWIM?... I tried FiberSure and other fiber supplements and they just gave me way more gas which I did not need. I now use prunes or prune juice and that works great for me. Plus they are good for us and I think of them as a sweet treat. I have 1 or 2 prunes with each meal.

I asked my docotor about Biotin. He said if your hair loss is caused by lack of Biotin and B-Vitamins then it will help. He said most of his patients get hairloss due to not getting enough Protein. And some due to not getting enough other nutrients like B-Vitamins. Either way, taking both Biotin and extra protein along with your daily vitamins won't hurt either way. I still take biotin because it has really made my hair and my nails much nicer. There are also those whose bodies go into shock from the surgery and thier bodies stop taking car of non-essential things like hair. In this case your body eventually recovers and so does your hair.

Yes, I was told that my dosage may need lowered as I lose weight. I have gone between .50-.75 mcg since being diagnosed with hypothyroid but so far, I have not had to change my dose since Lap Band (I go in next month the get more bloodwork). Not trying to sound like your mother but you really should try to get into the habit of taking your RX every day as prescribed. Not keeping it in check can not only make it impossible to lose weight, and believe me your thyroid hormone plays a huge role in weightloss but not keeping your levels right could quickly bring on other problems like super dry skin, hair loss, memory and concentration problems and anxiety among other things. These problems could come on overnight. A change in dosage would of course eventually help but it would take a while to get back on track, it is not something you want to mess with, especially with all that you have going on...believe me, I've been there! It took me six weeks to get my thyroid back in check by then my skin was so dry it was cracked and bleeding, my hair was very thin, I was hardly able to manage work and my anxiety was so bad that it was truly afraid. Sorry, lecture is over now...this is just something that I wouldn't want anyone to experience needlessly. It is just one tiny pill a day.

I have both PCOS and am Hypothyroid. The PCOS had not hindered my weight loss and as a matter of fact since the surgery it is in remission and I am off my medications. The thyroid is another story. It has to be checked a minimum of every six months. If it is off just a little it can keep you from losing weight. And as you lose weight you want to continue to get your thyroid levels checked because your dosage may need adjusted.

Good Luck!!!! Update us as soon as you feel up to it

No, the added surgery should not add time to your stay. The area where a hiatal hernia occurrs is where the esophagus passes through the diaphragm, this is literally inches away from where your band will be placed. There will be no need for extra incisions...just a few stitches.

The lap band is not for everyone but it is wrong for your cousin to conclude that it didn't work for so-and-so and that means it won't work for you. I had to do a lot of research and soul searching before I made the decision to get banded. You have to understand how the band works and that you will never be able to go back to your old eating habits. You have to be able to retrain yourself to eat properly and maybe even give up some foods. You have to go into this understanding that it is not an easy and quick fix. It takes work and patience but if you are willing and able, then there are plenty of people here that are proof that the band can work. There have also been some people that came here virtually clueless and some who just were not willing to give up their old ways. Some didn't understand that they had to do their part and watch how they ate and keep up with appointments and fills. Some are just too addicted to the food to be willing to try and make it work. I have lost around 50 pounds four or five times in my adult life. It was so hard and I was always hungry, I would eventually lose my willpower and the weight always came back with a venegence. But this time is so different. I am not hungry, I do not obsess over food, calories, fat, and carbs. I am in total control and there is no doubt in my mind that I can do this for life. But NOBODY BUT YOU can decide whether it is right for you. Don't let your cousin or anyone else discourage you.

This is a concern that I had at your stage and I have since seen it over and over on these boards. We worry that we will do something wrong and cause damage. You stretch your pouch by consistently over eating and keeping your pouch too full. That is unlikely without a fill because the food is not going to stay in your pouch long enough. You should still be careful and only eat until you are no longer hungry because you are still healing and do not want to get sick or cause slippage. But as long as you follow the bandster rules, you will be just fine.

I am down 58 pounds. I started out in a size 18W jeans/size XL stretchy pants and 2X-3X tops. After about 35-40 pounds lost, I was in a size 16 jeans. I skipped over size 14 and I am now wearing Size 12P jeans/Medium pants and mostly XL 16/18 tops(XL is too big around the middle and I could wear a large if my bra size would just go down a little more...But it did go from a 42DD to a 38D) I was also surprised to find that I went down about 1/2 size in shoes. I agree, with SDM, go out and try on new clothes you may be pleasantly surprised. When I was wearing a loose 16 I decided to go out and get myself a new pair of jeans. I tried on 14's and there was still some room...I went back and grabbed a size 12 and they fit!! They were not skin tight but snug. I decided that snug was better because I would be able to wear them longer. A month or so later, they fit looser.

Since getting on solids I am not supposed to use shakes as a meal replacement but rather a supplement. I am to have three solid protein meals a day and if I do not reach my protein grams with my solid meals then supplement with shakes or protein shots.

Just had an appointment at my surgeons office and I weighed in another pound lighter. Got a fill anyway and boy am I feeling it! NAME********START WEIGHT*****CURRENT WEIGHT********GOAL********LBS.

(this is where they fix the hole in the diaphram and wrap the fundus of the stomach around the esophagus and sew it back to itself). Or did they just pull the stomach out of the hernia and sew up the hole? Mine was just a slight hernia, the stomach had not yet started migrating north, so my surgery just required a few stitches to close the tear. 2. How was recovery of the hernia portion of the surgery?(if you able to differ between the two). I had some difficulty with breathing, which is supposedly rare. It wasn't a problem in my lungs but a weakness that made it difficult to draw in air. I couldn't talk for more than a few seconds or walk across the room without becoming breatless. I also had spasms where I would leave out involuntary sobbing noises which was a little embarassing. The problems lasted about a week and it was actually a blessing in disguise as I was able to quit smoking during this period (didn't have the strength to draw in the smoke). As far as pain, that is hard to answer. When you have two surgeries at once and the location of the hernia and the lap band are so close, it is hard to determine which is causing your pain. 3. How is your acid reflux now(if you had it before)? I have not had one incident of acid reflux, a little acidy sensation in the back of the throat after a fill but no real reflux or heartburn. 4. Would you do it again? Sure, it would have been crazy not to have it done while I was getting the lap band: (a) they are literally right there and (:biggrin: not having it repared could have caused issues with the band. (d) no more reflux.

I was given a list of foods that some people have trouble with but was told that didn't mean that I couldn't eat them, just that I should be careful and know that I may not be able to tolerate them. The list included: bread, popcorn, ground beef, shrimp, asparagus, celery, broccoli....these are off the top of my head and I know there are other items that are not listed here. But I have tried most of the items-some are no problem at all while others are more difficult. Also my tolerance of certain foods changes with my restriction, when I am tighter I can't eat them. But for the most part, when I take small bites, chew well and eat slowly I can handle all of them. The only absolute no-no for me (doctors orders) was carbonated drinks. Unless your doctor says otherwise, just take it slowly with popcorn (or any other food) and see how you do.

I did have to change my shopping habits and start cooking healthier. I have cut out foods that I know are a problem for me and so I just don't buy them. I know that I have to have solid Protein on hand so I keep cooked chicken and/or fish in the house. I stopped the bad habit of not planning ahead for dinner then just grabbing fast food or ordering pizza because I don't have anything thawed out for dinner. So, like others I do have to plan ahead for healthy meals but everyone SHOULD do that anyway. But otherwise-no, I do not diet. I don't count calories, I don't measure food, I don't keep a journal. I did track calories and measure food at first just to get a handle on how much and what I can eat but now after 5 months I can plan a healthy dinner and eye up my plate to get the appropriate amount each meal without counting or recording.

LOL, I have an elderly neighbor,a true dyed-in-the-wool Rebublican who uses that quote at every election. In the last election, he was taking down the American Flag if Kerry got in in this election he was moving to Candada if Hillary got in now he will move to Canada if Obama gets in. Other than disagreeing with his political views, I just adore the guy so I tolerate him during election time. :biggrin: I also wanted to say I agree that the extremist liberal /conservative are another polarizing problem in our country. And I just don't think it will ever change.

I am in the middle, an Independent who really does not like either choice. I STILL have not decided what I am going to do. Up until now, I planned on voting only on some very important local issues and skipping over the choosing of a presidential candidate. If I do decide to vote for either one, it will not be a vote FOR a candidate but rather a vote AGAINST the guy that I dislike/distrust the most. But I am just so tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. So, it doesn't REALLY matter to me which one gets in, both have me pretty disheartened. At this point I think I would rather see it be McCain over Obama but that is not to say I think McCain is so great. I think it is going to be closer than some people think and see either side being sore losers and hope we don't have another "hanging chad" election. I am not sure what we can do to unify the country. I think the separation between party lines keeps the division going. As and Independent I sit back and watch the hardcore Republicans fighting the hardcore Democrats and vice-versa, both sides have on blinders and can't see the bad in their own candidate and most will deny that THEY are being blind. They allow themselves to be distracted by polarizing issues rather than keeping focused on the issues that could really see change for everyone. When choosing the candidate for their party, rather than choosing the best guy, they vote for the guy that has the best chance of beating the guy in the opposing party, this allows some very good potenital leaders to fall through the cracks. Honestly, I just can't wait for it all to be over.

GOAAALLL!!! :frown: Surprisingly, I lost that last pound over the weekend. Go figure...I was not exactly well-behaved with my eating over the weekend...pizza on Friday, dinner out on Saturday, and football junk food during the game yesterday. (GO SKINS!!!) :thumbup: I was half afraid to get on the scale this morning but lo and behold that last pound went away. I'm ready for the next challenge!!!
