  1. Just checking in on you! Hope everything is going well... I'm starving but trying to adjust!

  2. Ok guys I was banded May 14th and I am hungry ALL the time pretty much... I am sick and tired of the same old thing day after day!! I was able to just start runny mash potatoes and I thought that was the greatest thing ever!! Does anyone have any ideas for me??
  3. If you have any questions I really do try and get on here every day if not every other, I will try as much as possible to help! Good luck over the next couple of days...

  4. I definitely understand my gas just passed over the last couple of days... It just lingered in my chest and my left shoulder still causes pain! All I can say right now it keep taking your pain meds b/c I am a pretty strong person but I took my pain med for about three days especially before I went to bed! I also stayed in the hotel the next night and just prompted myself up on the pills for the first two nights... then I started sleeping on my right side and that helps also. I also found some liquid Tylenol at wal-mart. The biggest thing I'm having trouble with is HUNGER!! I'm always hungry... I started the day of surgery at 198 and I'm down to 193 and I haven't weighed in the last couple of days either... I lose about 1-2 lbs a day... That's good but I just can't feel hungry. Like right now I just feel like I'm trying to get all my protein in so I'm living off of protein shakes. YUCK! I just started runny mash potatoes last night and was in heaven!!

  5. Sorry I disappeared I went in on the 15th!! You probably had your surgery at the same place as I b/c that is the doc I was originally going to see but wasn't available on my date... My mom is scheduled with Dr. B. I am going back on June 5th to have my first fill... Have you already had your surgery?

    New-B...and a may bandster!

    Hello there I saw your post and thought you might be good to journey with I am 28 and have two kiddos! Also went to a seminar with my mom back in March at True Results in Dallas. Wasn't expecting to do the surgery but was there with my mom for support. Two weeks later I was in the office having a consultation!! I am scheduled for May 15! So excited!
  9. Hi there I was wondering how you liked Dr. Fox? I saw him last week and my surgery is scheduled for the 15...
  10. Hi there everyone! I'm scheduled for May 15th! Can't wait!
  11. I am looking into the surgery for myself as well as my mom and wanted to know if anyone has had this Dr. before and would like to share their experience...? Thanks

    Bulimia Issues?

    Thank you I really appreciate the reply's! My bulimia isn't what you would consider normal... I should of worded it a bit differently... I used to be what you would think on the verg of being hospitalized if it wasn't for my daughter coming into my life. Now it's not that I purge because I'm addicted it's because I get disgusted by eating my entire pantry when I've been on a diet for two weeks and can't control the urge to eat chocolate... So I'm not someone who gets excited to purge (if that makes any sense). I can go weeks on ends without doing it then only time I actually do this is when I've tried to diet and fall of the plan and eat soooo much that my stomach feels like it's going to pop anyways. So that is why at the seminar they said that it could get it under control b/c the band wouldn't let me yoyo diet back and forth and then feel like I have to eat the house b/c I've been eating like a rabbit for two weeks... So I haven't been actually diagnosed as being bulimic I just consider myself b/c every blue moon I fall off another diet that didn't work and literally eat my whole entire pantry and purge. Granted 12 years ago I was full blow bulimic and anything that went in came out to achieve what I thought in peoples eyes is what they wanted me to look like! I only weighed 113lbs and was fading fast. Now it's not about that it's about getting healthy for myself as well as being a good example for my 7 year old that only weighs 50lbs and thinks that she should diet bc mom is always dieting... NOT GOOD. So once again thank you I have done tromendace research on the lapband as well as the staff and dr. I know about the side effects and that it can trigger reflux and the whole nine yards... I have spoke to several people in person about the issue at hand. I think I just worded it wrong and when you read it you can take it differently. True Results has spoke with me a bit about my issue already and I go April 3 for the evaulation and will keep you posted!
  13. Hi Helen, I see that you used Dr. Benavides... Were you pleased with him? Can you tell me your experience? My mom and myself are researching his facility in Richardson as well... we went to our first seminar two weeks ago. Thanks, Melissa
