MarylandMommy started following glued incisions, does it get better?, Am I too tight??? and and 7 others
-
I agree with Jodi...I have had issues with eating too fast/too large of bites....Good luck to you!
-
the first few days stink..but it does get better...I promise!

Exercises for flabby arms....actually for whatever the area under the bicep is called

Mine have gotten somewhat better from pushups and but it seems to be just loose skin now....I am not sure how to really get rid of it for good -
POLL - Whats your sweet spot in 10cc band?
MarylandMommy replied to bunnykin4u's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I currently have 5 cc...I had 5.4 but had .4 removed due to vomitting. -
I do A LOT of greek yogurt too!!! I mix in some blueberries or raspberries and some splenda...it really is yummy!! Funnything...I go by Amybee all the time...and I went to ASU...just thought it was sort of a coincidence!

FIRST FILL TODAY 07/31/08 (experience)
MarylandMommy replied to rcruz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went for my first fill yesterday and they said I could not have one since I was not 30 days out...I am going back Thursday!!! They are only putting 1 cc in my 10cc band, so yours is a lot compared to mine -
I went today for a fill (which is what my appt was for) and was turned down since I am only 26 days post op....they said I have to be at least 30!! I wish the idiot who made my appt knew that!! I am going back Thursday morning for my fill and then leave the next day for vacation!!
-
Looking forward to it! I am a little nervous though Hopefully this will be the kick I need to get that scale moving!!!!

How many calories are you eating 3 weeks or more post op?
MarylandMommy replied to MarylandMommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, i am exercising at least 3-4 times a week at the gym.....maybe I am just in a rut or something! -
How many calories are you eating 3 weeks or more post op?
MarylandMommy posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get between 700-800 3.5 weeks post op....this includes 30 carbs, 70 protein and 30 fat...but my carbs and fat are usually slacking a little....I am not really losing any weight and my nutritionist is not too concerned, but wants me to watch it for the next couple weeks since I am not eating that many cals....Do you think if I increased my caloric intake I would lose more weight? I am going in for my 1st fill on Monday, which she does not think will make a great difference since I am not eating alot...any help is appreciated!! I am very strict will logging on daily plate too...so I know my cals are accurate!!!! Again any insight is greatly appreciated!:biggrin: -
How long until the glue comes off? I had surgery on 7-9 and still have what looks like glue over my incisions.....any input?? TIA
