I have been having a hard time this week also, ate 2 mini kit kat bars and pizza....ugggg. I get my second fill April 30th and I hope I have restriction because now I have none. I still try to eat only 4 oz but it is very hard because I know I can eat more.

I know how you are feeling, I am loosing slow as well. I have gotten depressed as well then I tell myself if I even loose an ounce at least that is an ounce gone! Don't beat yourself up it will come off.

Pain Medication?
tlhamilton replied to angelic3432's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on liquid loritab. -
My dr. didn't not numb the area either....and yes I too was very scared but it was nothing. Felt a tiny prick and that was it.

Dr. Atkinson & Dr. Soong
tlhamilton replied to CJRUBIO29's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Dr. Soong did my surgery and I am very happy with him. I saw him after my surgery and he also attends the monthy support meetings. I have found the staff very helpful and have had no problems with anyone. -
Thanks! I have noticed that because I do not feel any restriction yet but I know it will get better.

Had my first fill today and have to say it was not as bad as I was thinking it was going to be...no big deal. Now I figure the real work begins as to finding out what foods cause problems and which don't. Very excited to start this part of my journey.

I bought Pro-Stat 64, it is pretty good, serving size is two tablespoons and 15g of protein.

Hello, thanks for the congrats and congrats back to you!
I had my first fill yesterday, I was so scared at first due to stuff I had heard but it was no big deal and then had to be on liquids for 24 hours. So now I figure the real work starts in really learning what will go down without a problem and what won't. We shall see, salad was good :-) so far anyways...we shall see what happens tomorrow with trying to eat chicken.

I had to pay $11,000 while my insurance paid $5,000. If you need to finance you can go to carecredit.com, they do alot of loans for medical reasons. -
I was banded by Dr. Soong in Vegas. Anyone else out there?

SweetReesie, Congratulations 15 lbs is awesome.

"Shrinko De Mayo" Weight Loss Challenge

By Cinco De Mayo I would like to loose 15 lbs. Tif -
When I asked my doctor the same question he said there really wasn't a difference. He said that he kinda makes the decision when he gets in there. I have the Lap Band one.

I wait at least 30 minutes.

i need help with not drinking with meals
tlhamilton replied to armywife2002's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I always drank alot while eating too....but since having the surgery I try not to even put a drink near me. I put it in the kitchen and force myself to finish eating...wait 30 minutes and then drink. It has only been 21 days since my lap band was put in but I am finding it easier to do. I do have a hard time with the 30 before because with my job I don not always know exactly when I am going to go to lunch...but I do my best. Tif -
surgery this Wednesday, scared
tlhamilton replied to annie1000's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It is understandable to be scared....but I had the surgery 3 weeks ago (and yes it is still early). I have not slimed (yet), the pb's can be very uncomfortable just try not to eat too much, that is the only time I feel uncomfortable until I pb. -
Congratulations!

Doing good. Oatmeal does fine with me and so does cottage cheese. Tuesday I get to start incorporating regular foods so that will be cool. It is definately a horrible feeling when you eat something that does not agree with you.
I did buy Prostat Protein drink that is pretty good you do 2 tabelspoons. It is much better doing it that way instead of slimfast or any of those yucky things.

Hello, just wanted to see how you are doing. I had a rough afternoon after eating some scrambled eggs....not a good feeling :-).
