Love being this tight, full after 1/2 cup of food, before could eat 3 pices of pizza if wanted...but of course scared because of cough.,,

Yes, very common..I had it for about 1 week, then slowing it started to straighten out. Good luck. -
Hi everyone, Got a fill yesterday...one of the things they always ask is do I cough, which as always been no. So yesterday she was a little more a agressive with my fill putting in a whole 1 cc...since in 1 month I had only lost 1.9 pounds (finally 199.2 - yah). Will alway got home was on liquids, did have some oatmeal, everything fine. Last night I was up all night coughing so bad I was gaging. Do you think to tight, or have I just come down with something? Thanks,

need a fill or something else?
sandi1011 replied to Fluffy Jen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Jenny, I was banded April 2009, and just got back from doctors....put in a whole 1cc, but any way have lost 46 pounds told me I was right on schedule....the average weight loss a year is 1 pound per week. Looks like you are pretty much on schedule. I only lost 1 pound in 6 week, but I was away for two weeks (cruise one of them) so I do not feel to bad. I try to excercise at least 4 times a week for even 1/2 hr....even dancing around the house will help! Good luck.. -
Catherine,
I just saw your picture...and wanted to tell you that you look awesome...way to go girl!

Ok Here goes. Before banded I had IBS really bad, would go maybe 10 times in morning mostly and when I went out to eat, but it was a little at a time, and it would last for a couple of hours (pain and going). Ok about 2 months ago I started going about 3 times a day (sometime just once which I had not experience in years), but no pain and lots I mean lots (don't want to be to graphic). I don't know if this is normal since now I eat alot less. Had anyone else experience this? What banded in April 2009. Thanks

So Sorry...but a month is not to long....I had to be completely unfilled for 6 weeks (like not having a band) and still managed to lose 5 pounds. Keep your chin up!

The myth of exercise and weight loss
sandi1011 replied to ElfiePoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree completely! Also do you guys stick to 1 cup of food at a meal...I do not I eat regular meals and lose about 1 pound per week....Slow but steady. -
Hi, I eat Pasta all the time..It goes down very easy for me, much more than meat (protien). Just got back from being away 10 days (cruise), ate pasta everyday and lost 1 pound. Also 1 cup of food is less than what is in a lean cuisine. Just saying.

Good news -Bad news
sandi1011 replied to sandi1011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First off thanks everyone loved hearing all the good news! We are sailing on the Royal Caribbean line (Voyager of the seas)! This is my 10th cruise I also love them, but up until 4 years ago I weighed 130 to 140, so never had a problem with the weight thing. (yes, gained over hundred pounds in 4 years long story). Would not go on cruise when I gained the weight. This is my reward for losing over 40 pounds...but I do like the tattoo idea:lol: Thanks again everyone, leaving tomorrow morning coming back 2/1.....will let everyone know how its goes. Keeping my fingers crossed. Sandi -

How has this changed your relationships?
sandi1011 replied to HiMow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, All I can say is that it is great............I am feeling so much better about myself, which has a affect on people treat you (strangers and friends). When you are happy it seems to make most people the same! My husband is my biggest supporter. When we got married I weighted 120 pounds, so it was a big change for him in the last 10 years that I had gained the weight, but he is very happy for me, and it shows! Just about everyone has been so positive!!! Life is good.. Happy Holiday! -

Sent home from surgery with a catheter
sandi1011 replied to kristintaylor1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So sorry to hear. This happen to me after my 1st baby.....believe it or not the nun said drink a beer..she said it works for just about everyone. I did and about 1 hour later I went. Now with the lapband do not know it they will let you drink beer, but it is worth asking if you can not go. good luck. -
