So who else has lost weight this week. Anyone? Anyone?

I was banded on August 3rd and so far I've had a small piece of pepperoni pizza with no problem. Spaghetti was no problem. mac and cheese was no problem. Pork fried rice was no problem. A club sub sandwich with the bread was no problem. I've had NO problem with eating anything so far. I just eat a very small amount and chew it until it's mush and swallow. very small bites so I'm not swallowing a big bunch at once.

That's gas. My doctor did an EKG on me because I complained of the same thing. It was gas and lasted 3 days unfortunately. Good luck and hang in there!

MMMMmmmmmm... CHEESE! But is Cheese going to give you an email address and phone number for lapband support? NOOOO! :scalesno:

H393 C373 -3 (total -20)

one cup of cream of wheat with 1 oz of skim milk and 2 tsp of sugar if I have time and want something hot or I'll have a container of fat free yogurt. I had 2 eggs scrambled with a little bit of cream cheese and it upset my stomach soemthing fierce. I love breakfast.

Nana... EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. You mean I missed my chance to save a little bit of money? hahahahaha.

Libra... I had the same thing with my teeth. It was the back teeth. I was wondering if they were protesting lack of use. hahahaha. It did not feel good. I've been getting a random hiccup here and there. Drives me nuts. And I agree..it does NOT feel good. My clothes are starting to droop on me. My friends are calling me saggy buns. hahaha. I've lost 20 pounds so far.

I offer a pamplet and my email address and phone number for half price to you guys only! Bid today! $2.50 for this limited time! There will be a $90 handling fee.

Paul...you could start a new fashion craze!

Yay Paula!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you! You're doing great!!!

Brandy. That was from me. It's in a church over by sparrow hospital and it's for weight loss patients in general. I'll go if you wanna go so that we're not the only lapbanders there. what do you think?

Yay Jamie!!! Welcome to the party! Welcome to the crew Lisa. The Gas X didn't do much for me honestly. I know it helps others though. I'd just suffer through it during the day and at night for the first 3 nights home i took my liquid loratab (vicodin..whatever) and it'd put me to sleep pretty good. I only had gas for about 3 days though.

Isn't that a great feeling Robin??? I love it!

Libra.. Yes people worry about eating in front of me as well. "is this ok? Is it ok?" I said "as long as I have something to eat as well I'm fine. Eat all you want, I don't care!!!"

Just wanted to check in. I'm over 2 weeks out now and feeling really good. Fitting in to clothes I couldn't and I'm down 19 pounds. I am starting to feel more hungry. Eating 4 oz doesn't seem like it satisfies me for very long like it did a week and a half ago. I'm still eating way less then before though. I'm just happy to be off the liquid diet "THANK THE LORD!!!!" All you newcomers, hang in there! Good luck to those who are to be banded this week!

I have one too. I laminated it and keep it with my license and med insurance card in my wallet.

What color are they? I'd like one. How much are you charging?

I pulled my steri strips off after a week. Olivia...Yes I did have the pain in my chest when I would breath in. It was just gas. It'll go away eventually. I actually did feel better after walking. I'd get out of the house and walk a half mile down the road and back and feel MUCH better. As to work. I had my surgery on a Thursday morning, got out of the hospital on Friday afternoon and was back to work at an office job on Monday. I was ready to go back to work and felt pretty good. Just had a little bit of soreness. I'm 15 days post op and feeling completely human and feeling great. I'm happy with the choice I made and I'm starting to look at working out in a gym three days a week. Yay! Welcome everyone new that's joined us.

They have a lot of medicine out there now days to keep you from throwing up while going through chemo. My mother had numerous different kinds of chemo and she never threw up from any of them. Good luck and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers to send you strength. One of my friends was diagnosed a stage 3 breast cancer about 9 months ago and after chemo and radiation she just found out she's cancer free!

Welcome back!!! I'm so glad to see you! You're an inspiration! I hope things go better at UofM. They're a good hospital!

Bug... I had diahrea for a few days after surgery so that wasn't a problem for me. I lost 6 pounds presurgery and 11 pounds in the two weeks after. Today is my 2 week anniversary. I can't believe i've lost a total of 17 pounds though. YAY! Libra... call your doctor girl!!!!!

I got 15. And I'm 31. I guess I did a good job listening to my parents and grand parents talk about growing up! hehe.

I signed up for a gym about 8 years ago and worked out 3 times a week with a physical trainer and she was awesome. if i didn't make it to the gym she'd call me with encouragment. I really enjoyed it until I became sick for several weeks and just never made it back.

I haven't had alcohol since three weeks before surgery. Too many calories!
