That is terrible. I hope you are feeling better!

1. how long have you been banded? Since 4/13/06, so 2 months. 2. rate your level of restriction: A. NONE (fill or no fill you can eat whatever) B. Little (occasionally you will have a hiccup, your eating the same or a little less than pre-op) C. Moderate (have some restriction but not much!) D. Moderate/CLOSE to sweet spot (have good restriction but still need a little more) E. Sweet Spot!!! (perfect restriction) F. Too Tight (need/want a unfill) G. Too Tight (DONT WANT a unfill eating mosty liquids) 3. how long after you wake do you drink your first liquids, are they hot or cold: I normally drink a coffee Protein shake within a half hour of waking. 4. how long after you wake do you eat your first food, is it solid or mushy? Each day is different, sometimes I forgo the shake and have either scrambled eggs or a turkey hotdog. if it is mushy, when is your first dense protien solid? 5. does your restriction change throughout the day? a. slightly tighter in the AM looser in the PM b. pretty tight most of the day- small SOLID breakfast and lunch, loosen up solid dinner c. pretty tight most of the day- small liquid/mushy breakfast and lunch, loosen up for a small solid dinner d. tight all day, if you dont make sure you are constantly drinking you will get tighter, have to REALLY work at getting food down. loosen up slightly with a careful mostly mushy dinner 6. how often do you PB? Two weeks after my first fill prompted three days of PBing at least 1-2 times per day. It has since stopped, until this morning. 7. is it mostly Slime/Saliva or is it the offending food or liquid that comes up? Slime and food 8. why are you PB'ing? a. i forget i am banded and try to swallow stuff whole (oops) b. i ate something dry c. i didnt chew good enough d. i chewed good but the texture didnt agree e. i sometimes do with first liquids of the day f. i am eating beyond the pouch capacity

Argon: I have a Paraguard. It has been great for me and was told that if I ever consider having another child they can remove it and I would be able to conceive. I had one girlfriend who had a really hard time with the Paraguard though! I also tried the patch, but my hair started falling out.

I have an IUD put in a year ago....not the new kind that has hormones and the "T", but the old kind with just the "T". My sex life improved 100 fold, my husband was the one saying "I have a headache" ! It has been great for me!

I get this...I thought it was just gas (????) from either eating too much or going without for too long. Not sure though, mine usually subsides within an hour.

Hi, I am 35, I have been married for 11 years and have a great little 4 year old daughter. I work in fundraising/development and love to read and spend time with my family.

Ok I think this is the most current. If I forgot anyone, I apologize. 4-3: JenRN - 263/257/248/150 - 15 total<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t202 path="m,l,21600r21600,l21600,xe" o:spt="202" coordsize="21600,21600"></v:shapetype> <v:shapetype path="m,l,21600r21600,l21600,xe" o:spt="202" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><V:p</v:shapetype>4-3: Picardy3 - 298/300/282.5/150 - 17.5 total 4-3: tipper - 300/290/278/165 - 22 total> > 4-4: Sugar1 - 311/289/248/150 - 63 total><O:p></O:p> 4-4: Dak – 255/251/225/150 – 50 total<O:p></O:p> 4-5: Boo - 208/203/188/130 - 20 total<O:p></O:p> 4-6: Disneynut - 290/287/260/125 - 27 total > 4-11: Vickie1177 - 320/297/267/137 - 53 total 4-11: tellymelly - 240/235/193/135 -47 total> 4-11: Fel0816 - 307/284/265/to get under 200 - 42 total> ><O:p></O:p> 4-11: dsrjrr - 231/230/210/130 4-13: Nursekathy2u - 358/356/335/175 - 23 total<v:shape class=inlineimg id=_x0000_i1026 style="VISIBILITY: visible;

Just a friendly reminder...it works best if you copy, paste and edit, the last edited list. I know I made changes, as did Telly, Allison, and others, that way it will stay accurate and one person does not have to maintain it.

I asked my doctor about this, he said that as long as I limit cream and sugar, coffee was fine.

I know many of you said that it would happen...and it finally did. 2 weeks following my first fill (1.4 cc in a 4 cc band) I finally have restriction. It was the dardest thing, yesterday morning I was eating oatmeal, I ate 2 bites and BAM! I am full. Last night I couldn't even eat a whole jumbo shrimp! I did PB alot, but I feel great! So this is what it feels like to be full! Yipeeeeee!:clap2:

I did drive a red Volvo S60, but for mother's day I got a Mercedes ML350, black with tan interior. My husband drives a Nissan Armada, but with the cost of gas he also has a 1985 Chrysler Cirrus!

Thanks for the well wishes!

I had a hernia as well, he fixed it at the same time. My stay was not longer.

I only told my husband. Everyone else thinks I had hernia surgery.

Actually the weight loss won't be faster your body needs food.

I used to do total protein and would always lose quickly but when i gained it back I was "fatter" even though I did not weigh more than when I started. I have since taken a more Atkins or South Beach approach and incorporate vaggies and fruit and every once in awhile bread. My nutritionist would like for me to incorporate bread into every meal, but I can't get my brain around it yet! But this weekend I olet loose and ate a few cookies...I lost more than I had in weeks, 6 pounds!

Count me in...on my home scale I am 202, but I know that the doctor's office is normally between 8 and 12 pounds higher, so I normally add 10 pounds to whatever my home scale says. Butg if I can get to 190 on my home scale I would be estatic!

Bostongurl...you are doing grat 40 pounds in less than 2 months! That is fabulous.

I just got filed last Monday for the first time 1.4 cc in a 4 cc band. First I felt no restriction...but yesterday morning I had sharp pains in my left side and then again that night and this morning...is that restriction? or should I be concerned? Both morning incidences occured prior to eating.

I met my husband when I was totally done with men! I wasn't even looking...we met in September, were engaged by May, and married in August and we have been married for 11 years! I could have told you 2 days after I met him, he was the man I would marry! When it is right, I think you just know!

My doctor does the first fill with flouroscopy, but the remiaining fills without.

I just had my first fill on Monday and am hungrier than ever! I know sometimes it takes awhile to feel the restriction....the nurse said if I do not feel it soon, I should come in sooner for the next fill. He put 1.4cc in a 4cc band.

Thanks for the infor GeezerSue

OINK, OINK...just what I need! LOL That's great!
