i know, i know, i've been trying to stick it out for 2 months..i just cant take this anymore, i'm not giving up though. yes and i do. and i have talked to my surgeron about it, ever since i had my surgery. and thats why i see him every 2-3 weeks now..he said he doesnt know whatelse to do besides removing it, he gave me two different kinds of nausea meds one he gave me a prescription to the day i left the hospital and week one post op he gave me a different kind and i think it zofron or something like that, i find that they don't work anymore..i'm not a quitter and im not gonna let this thing stop me from achieving my goal, if i have to get it out to make me feel better, im going to do it, and if i have to get it out, i have to, and im not gonna stop my journey, i'm looking good, and im gonna keep going to look even better.

i've been trying to stick this out for 2 months already. my body is so messed up. i know i want this but i dont want this if im going to be nauseated all the time. i dont see what food would be making me sick, i havent been able to eat much cause i would feel so nauseated when i fix something to eat. water even upsets my stomach sometimes. it probably isnt made for me, ive been sick from the start, the nausea is the same nausea i had all along. i'm not giving up, im a strong person, and i wont let anything stand in my way, but i do want it out and continue my journey as if i still have it..

well i was feeling fine for 6 days, had nausea 2 days last week and now i either have the flu or a really bad cold, and the nausea snapped right back...sucks so im thinking about getting mine removed...maybe itll be the best thing to do right now, maybe i'll feel better and maybe i can get back to my life..maybe its not meant for me. i will not let myself fall back into my old habbits, im making "The Plan" chart of what im gonna do...i just cant believe this is happening to me..not fair
-
im also down about 30. i started feeling ok starting last monday i was feeling ok all week til thursday, the nausea came back but not as bad. now i started getting sick like with the flu or a bad cold on sunday and its horrible, the nausea is with it..just sucks..i'm thinking of getting my band removed, i cant take it anymore, i dealt with it for so long and it made me miss 10 days of school, i did not plan on it going this way..i really regret doing it =/ i guess its not really made for everyone. i'm just really scared of regaining what i lost plus more and scared to go under..but i cant deal with that anymore, i feel like i ruined my senior year ugh

hey, I know how you feel. I've been having a terrible time with this. I had severe nausea since surgery. It went away for a couple of weeks and came back. It's kinda gone but I still feel nauseous, and I get dizzy alot I never did pre band, I have no energy, I sleep a lot. I did say I was getting my band removed in another post and I'm still thinking about it. I'm gonna bring it up wen I see my dr again on the 21st so I'll bring it up. My mom said im probably gonna have to live with it too..NO I don't want to live with being like that. I've been depressed a lot, I cried a lot, no Im not going to see anyone about that! I know that if I had to live with this I wouldn't bee happy or feel like myself, that's what I want. So anyways I'm just worried about gaining what I lost back but if I keep my mind to it, I will be successful oh I'm 2 months and 3 days post op. And I'm a senior in high school..school started on sept. 8th and I missed two weeks and 3 days of school cause I was really nauseated, dizzy(I still get dizzy), headaches, upset, unhappy, no energy because I couldn't sleep well, plus on top of all that I had a very bad bladder infection i had antibiotics and thinking about the meds made me sick to my stomach and i had no appetite and even water started making me sick to my stomach and for some reason I feel like I still have some sort of infection but idk so I just can't afford that if it happens again and I know it's gonna stay with me cause I feel a bit nauseous right now. I don't want to live like that and gonna set up a plan and hopefully get the band removed next month during my thanksgiving break sometime and stick to the plan..sorry for babling

Evanescent_Soul, ohh haha..man that stinks =/ oh hmm idk i take deep breaths all the time, isnt that kind of the same?. i'm taking in a lot of air. i really dont think it would though O.o heh but you cant drink through straws hmm lol yeah its very weird, very messed up lol somethings are too sweet and its weird but i guess its good cause you wont be craving them..heres some of the things im starting to hate or do hate..yogurt, cottage cheese, cream of potato Soup, pudding, toast, crackers, any noodles, (starting to hate)chicken, eggs..sucky lol it really is rediculous i only really like one chocolate and thats hershey bar or kisses both the same to me.. lol i had tuna the other day, it actually tasted "normal" lol ohh heh owellz lol i want to and i better, i went back today, it was a half day and i still didnt feel too well but i was alright...i forgot to ask my dr about removal! dude grr, i go back in 3 weeks and i might be getting a fill and i seriously dont think itll help anything, itll make my stomach feel tighter and i worry itll make me feel worse, he was gonna do it today but he guessed before i said anything "your scared you dont have to get one, i'll tell you this, come back in 3 weeks and we will try it/we will see" something like that! lol i'm guessing that too hmm
-
okay, whatever i eat it doesnt taste the same like it did before surgery, it actually tastes gross...my tastebuds actually feel like they are raw or something...why?..does anybody have this problem or know what could be causing it?

i didnt know you wrote back lol. yeah i would deffinately..i dont see how it would effect your singing since is around your stomach and not your vocal cords ?? hmm lol i dont like those kind of people..those kind of people are very annoying lol. yeah i would too actually..ok on my paper it says i could have breadsticks but not pizza, thats confusing cause they're both dough..i tried it and the cheese of the pizza and it doesnt taste the same...nothing tastes the same anymore for me and i dont know why..i had something sweet and its way too sweet and i kind hate sweet stuff now..it says to take your time and enjoy your food..how can you if it tastes like crap? lol eh it just gives me a reason to make the time go by faster...i should ask about why things dont taste the same eh? i wasnt really a Peanut Butter person either so i dont really care unless its like reeses peanut butter eminems things(yeah im way off..i spelled the rapper lol) and i dont really eat candy anyways so i dont really miss it. ahh lets get some lol you can have crackers and tuna tastes good on crackers...tuna is good cause it has Protein and Omega 3 (i think) but its not good if you put lots of mayonais(i spelled that wrong) in it. hmm lol yeah i know, but i feel like im way way behind still...im so sad cause i kinda dont wanna go back but i want to graduate with my class and stuff so i have to =/...i feel so blessed lol jk.. thats cool though.. probably the RNY, Gastric Bypass, the Sleeve, The Lap-Band, idk it could be any one of them. yeah it could of lol mhm i've been cursed i think lol

Some of you on here all know I've been having a tough time, with feeling sick/nausea. Well when I started school on the 8th I started to feel better and started feeling like myself. One of my teachers I had last year I have again and she's like "why'd you cut your hair?" and I didn't cut my hair lol then she said "you look really different this year" on day two of school. Then yesturday she asked "are you ok?" I said "yeah why?" she said "I don't know you just look really differen you're not upset or angry are you?" " no, but I lost weight" "yeah I know, I didn't want to embarrass you infront of the other kids" then she asked me what I was doing different and I just told her I changed my diet and exercising. Anyways she's the only one that noticed anything different, do you think anyone else notices anything? But on day two for some reason I felt out of breath, maybe I walked too fast. I still feel nauseated in the morning so I take a nausea pill and I feel fine after first period. But going to school and seeing everyone, I think is making me feel happier and making me feel more like myself and I can finally think possitive, I'm liking that. I'm supposed to get a fill on Tuesday but I'm still not ready for it yet. I went to see fireworks cause it was the battle of Plattsburgh (there was a battle on sept 11th a long long long time ago) and I guess there were guys that were looking at me and they weren't bad looking lol anywho I'm just happy and I hope it stays that way... I'm 6 weeks post op as of yesturday (:

(: yes lol I never heard about that, where you read that from? I never read that anywhere...hmm just make sure you do a lot of research, write pros and cons of each. (: that's good. They should have them, I know it was best buy and I got one book from Borders and the other from SAMs club lol. That's good, it's kind of hard at first but you get use to it (: I love raspberry tea by snapple or Arizona and that's all, I don't like hot tea, it grosses me out for some reason lol and I haven't had diiet soda since July 30th I crave it sometimes but I'll never drink it flat so eh. I'm aloud to have toast, the crust of the bagel(I don't know what sense it would be to eat it like that lol I miss bagels) and I'm aloud to have English muffins, but toast doesn't taste good to me unless it's butter and I know that's bad = Im not sure if I could have Peanut Butter and jam or not hmm I should ask about that. I haven't tried tuna yet lol hmm talk to her, ask her walk with you or be like you wanna start fresh and maybe shell help you with it too (: awh you're welcome :mad: Actually, I am (: I'm just worried it'll come back again = =$

I hope soo, thanks (:

mhm (: she probably is, because you want to get healthy the healthier way. haha it wouldnt (: thats good. the sleeve, hmm i guess they cut your stomach, i wouldnt want that, so thats why i chose the band and cause it was removable. but its totally up to you (: i support you on whatever one you chose (: i hope you get it then. i got my DVD at wal* mart, no i think i got it at best buy, yeah im pretty sure it was best buy lol and the books you could get a borders or sam's club, and you could probably get it at a book store or even walmart too. i hope so too, right now i dont even know how much im eating but i know its under 1000, im gonna start counting my cals again and my Fluid intake and my Protein intake. thats actually a good thing i think, you'll have something to finally bring her down with and maybe she'll change her ways. (: no problem, i look forward to your replies (: XD

i'm seeing my surgeron on september 30th. I'm going to ask him to get my band removed, and hopefully during my November break. why you ask? i've been sick for almost a month, hearing, seeing, thinking, eating food makes me want to vomit. water even makes me want to vomit. on monday september 14th i found out i had a very bad bladder infection, so i have to take antibiotics twice a day till monday september 21st, thinking and looking at the pill makes me want to vomit right there and after i take it i feel worse. luckily i havent puked but it feels like its there all day, where my band is, kind of hurts. and i barely walk far and i feel like im out of breath. everytime i swallow my spit it digusting, and everytime i swallow i feel like i gotta vomit ahh. i missed a week of school cause of this, i just couldnt handle it at school, i had to lay down cause if i stood up id feel really sick. i prevent myself from throwing up by clamping down on my teeth and putting my hand up by my mouth, i dont want to live like that, im sick of being sick to my stomach and feeling nauseated all the time, i only felt good weeks 2 and 3 post op and thats all the rest i was very nauseated and i dry heaved a few days. i havent felt like myself AT ALL since being banded...i dont want anyone to talk me out of it. i want it out and cant be nauseated all the time, before being banded i felt really great and i miss feeling like that, i was so happy, dont get me wrong or anything, I'm under 200 pounds now and im so happy about it, but i havent been able to really eat anything because of being so nauseated, i didnt plan on losing it that way really, i thought i was gonna be feeling great and going out more, alot of the times when i walk for too long i feel really sick after and i feel winded.. anyways, when i get it out i plan on sticking to the rules. and i WILL stick to the rules.. chew food really well, take time eating, no drinking anything for 30 mins, take 20-30 mins to eat, exercise an hour to and hour and a half everyday and hopefully ill beable to go out more with my friends, i would now but i cant go anywhere without feeling sick so i have no enjoyment out of it at all :blushing: i want to feel happy again, and feel like myself but 10-times healthier i still will succeed im just letting you guys know how im feeling, and i want to talk to somebody =/
