flabuless

I agree with Shutuplena my dr said the same thing when i was worried about slight bruising in my port region...he assured me nothing to worry about just my body getting used to the object inside. Becky

Dont expect too much in the first couple of fills sometimes you do feel restricted sometimes not...for me, I have had 4 fills and still don't feel overly restricted...I am going for another one next week so hopefully that will do the trick for me...Best wishes Becky

Happy Belated Birthday Mark Great to see you play the 'glad game'. it is wonderful to know this probably wont be your last birthday isn't it...Lapband has put years onto my life..and i expect it has done that for you too. Best Wishes Becky

if it is any consolation...I put on a bit of wait during my liquid period post lapband...my dr didn't really care as his thought was the first period is for healing not loosing! You may not really notice a difference in your weightloss until you actually get to solids..so don't be disheartened...just give it time. You'll be allright! Make sure you keep us posted still. becky

Elizabeth.. Hi I know that feeling of overfilling all to well...My dr who was only new to lapband fills...infact I am his first patient filled me up to maximum (4cc) on my 2nd fill...needless to say I was sick! I couldn't keep water down...was vomiting my own saliva...I thought I was going to die...but fortunately my dr saw me for an emergency unfil 2 hrs later (after hours) so i didn't have to put up with it for a whole week like you did...you poor thing! oh well..hopefully things will be ok from here on in now that you have found your sweet spot. becky

I do it all the time...I mean so well but even today I had a huge plate of bacon and eggs, sausage, mushrooms, grilled tomatoe, hashbrowns, toast...I couldn't eat it all...gave some to my kids but I had FAR too much! and then when I was feeling bad enough about that I brought a bar of chocolate and had 4 sweet biscuits...So i know exactly how you feel...I keep on telling myself i am not going to do it again...binge eating but sometimes the temptation is just too much. so I totally feel for you and understand...hopefully I will listen to my own advise...tomorro is another day! becky

For me hunger is mostly in my head...i see food i want to EAT...dont get me wrong I still 'feel' ravenously hungry but while in the past eating 3 platefulls of food filled me up now having a coffee or a small snack generally does the job. Beky

I just had to share my beautiful kids also. becky

I personally think NSV's give us more to celebrate than where the dial is on the scale...it is so satisfying to pass a 'lifestyle' milestone. Becky

I would go for another fill and wake up 30min earlier in the day to make a takeaway lunch...to take with you hehehe! You'll get there! becky

As unladylike as it is, I am still burping more since lapband than i did before it is actually quite embarassing...sometimes hitting me at the worst of times. Becky

Welcome to LBT ahubar Congrats on your surgery...i had mine in Australia in October 05...so far so good wouldn't change it for anything...Best wishes with your surgery. Keep us posted! Becky

I didn't experience much on my first fill...didn't really notice that much of a difference only really after my 3 fill did I start to feel anything...I am hoping for my 5th fill i will reach my sweet spot. Cool video, wade...

Wow congrats! It is a wonderful feeling...I am also swimming in my clothes at the moment...I kind of enjoy it gives me that I'm too skinny for this feeling...very inspirational, although I look very dowdy..bout time for me to update my own wardrobe me thinks! Becky

Welcome Andrea... Great to see you here...Congrats on your surgery date and keep us posted on your progress. Becky

ok I confess...I am one of those credit card suckers...cant live without it. Maybe I need to get the book. Becky

Hi genie I am also from Aussie Land I had my lapband in Tassie...Dont fret...go and talk to the specialist during that initial consult he can answer all your questions and concerns...Have a good look around LBT take notes on anything that concerns you so that you can take it to the consult. I have had my lapband for a year now and have never regretted it for a moment. Welcome to LBT. Becky

Missy C don't fret some people can feel their port somepeople cant. Wait till your fill they will have a good feel around...I am sure you'll be fine... JJB what was the doctors responce when he told you the port was tilted...did he seem concerned? Becky

mysherrijo you are in my prayers... Becky

Yum, great ideas guys...i am looking forward to trying some...I have just been having boring toast up to this point... becky
