I've had my band now since 07/30/08, I have lost a total of 93 lbs. For the past 3 months I've had no fluid in my band - lucky me, Not (stomach ulcer, that kicked my ass!) :thumbdown: I'm so ready for a fill. I've done very well on my own, I fluctuate around 5-10lbs now, due to the fact that I drink beer and recently realized that I can eat pizza crust and pita bread. However, as good as that sounds. I feel miserable after eating or drinking the forbidden foods. I'm so ready to start seeing the scale move downwards and not upwards. I go for my fill on 09/26. I hope the stomach ulcer remains under control! :smile2:

Well I guess there is some carbonation, however when you buy it from the icee machine at gas stations or in Walmart the coke is flat so you don't have the bubbles. Also they have frezzer pops in Dr.Pepper, Root beer, 7 up and Orange Crush that work well. I buy these at Walgreens.

I don't drink soda. I tryed to take a taste of Coke and I thought I was dying. I have been banded since 07/08 and it killed me. If I need the taste I will drink a coke icee, no carbonation.

fourth fill and i am drinking and bringing it up again
ddodgens replied to tina41's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Happen to me last weekend, received a fill on Saturday. I have a 10cm band with a 4cc fill range. I was already at 1.8cc and had a fill of another cc. bringing me to 2.8cc's. Water and liquids were going down with no problems on Saturday. On Sunday, I cold not hold down my own saliva. I was TOO TIGHT. It is not a good feeling at all. I went and has some .6cc removed. Now I have 2.2cc's and I feel like I have no restriction again. Being to tight is not a good thing. If you go to long you will get dehydrated. -
3 Days after surgery n back to work? True or False
ddodgens commented on Lively's blog entry in Blog 51538
Agree with your friend, I had my surgery on Wednesday and was back to work on Monday morning. On Saturday after my surgery, I went shopping all day with my friend. The hardest part of lapband for me was not the surgery but changing my eating habits and trying to remember to chew, chew, chew and chew again. -
that's great, I wish I had the go you have for walking. With kids and working all day, I find it hard to get 15 minutes of exercise in. You are doing great! Keep up the good work!!!!
