I've been alright, In Bandster hell, haven't gained or lost a lb in 2 weeks, and it sucks. I'm glad to hear your o.k. The first 2 weeks out apparently are the worst until you hit solids and enter Banster hell.
Other then that I've been alright, cut 11 inches off of my hair and dyed it (to shed the "old me" and expose the real me) I hate my job lol.... back to business as usual, I'll be home til sun, so give a holla.

First Fill Experiences For The Mayo BANDitos
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to John337's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've been baking chicken covered in tinfoil & marinated, it basically steams/poaches it and keeps the moisture in so it's really tender. I made pepper steak last night, and I microwaved my own plate just to soften the steak up a bit but it, like your chicken, just sat there. didn't really eat a whole lot though, about 6 or 7 strips of steak and a few peppers. Thats the learning process for us! -

First Fill Experiences For The Mayo BANDitos
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to John337's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My first fill is tomorrow, and I CAN'T wait. I've had no weight loss in the past 2 weeks since starting solids, and Bandster hell is just that!!!!! Yesterday was kind of weird, I had absolutly NO APPITITE whatsoever, I tried to force myself to eat lunch, but ended up just drinking a dsnapple. And I had to force myself to eat dinner last night (Steak is a challange! let me tell you!) And today, So far, I'm not to hungry either. All I'm saying is the fill better happen because I need it. -
Frustrated with the small amounts of food? I am!

What is it with Pizza??? I live in the city of The best pizza in the world *brooklyn* and I actually live above a pizzeria, and Thats been the one food I've been trying to avoid like the plague, but it's the only food (though I have been awesome in staying away from it since my last post about the 2 slices) That goes down no problem. First fill tomorrow, and I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE RESTRICTION BECAUSE I KNOW I ABSOLUTLY NEED IT!!!:bored: -
How are you feeling Mama? haven't heard from you since like the day before your surgery? worried about ya... let me know

Ahhh Brooklyn, It's all a facade!!!!! lol.. I hate it here, honestly, Born and raised here, And I'm itching to get the hell out!!!!! Some of it is nice, But when you guys come, def let me know, you have a built in tour guide to NYC!!!!!
Yeah my face seems to be the only obvious place, that and One of my back rolls has dissapeared (the bottom one) so My waist is taking shape, and My DH says you can see it in my arms, but I guess cuz It's my body, I don't notice a thing!!! BUT, and this is so lame to say, I can actually cross my legs somewhat when I sit, it's more like the "dude" cross, but needless to say, I haven't been able to do that in like 2 years

in all honesty, I CAN NOT WAIT FOR MY FIRST FILL!!!!! I have the opposite. I have a confession to make, Bread has been really really hard for me, yet I was able to polish down 2 slices of pizza and 1 peice of cheesy bread before I felt full, And I ate it at a snails pace!!!!!! it wasn't until I PB'd that I realized, OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO?!?!?! Certain foods, I still have restriction with BUT PIZZA?!?!?!?! I get my fill on friday, and I'm gonna confess to what I did..... I think a lot of it has to do with bandster hell, but I'm so ashamed today -
Mine are still kind of scabbed, and I have some of the internal stitches popping out so when I fold my arms below my boobs, I feel it poking through my shirt. My BIGGEST prob. has been wearing certain bras. My port is right under my right boob like right besides the sternum, so If I slouch or wear the wrong bra I am in AGONY for the whole day. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh, the noises coming out of me these days... (possibly TMI haha)
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to LindaD's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Lol... me too..... Mine thought a garbage truck went by last night (we live on a busy avenue) shot up out of a dead sleep and asked what the hell that was.... when I confessed it was me, he told me to check my pants, and if it smells, then I am to sleep on the couch for the night. :sad: -
How are you getting to 1000/1200 cals a day?
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to AlaskaGirl77's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I check labels. Which has More protein but fewer calories, I've been eating lean cuisines for lunch, My big thing is my sodium intake, so I check for low fat, low sodium High protein. I tried to drink a protein shake the other day and threw up the entire contents of my stomach (TMI I'm sorry) but undigested breakfast was with it. I've been cooking dinner mostly every night, and In my house it's difficult, My son, you can give the kid a lb of lard and he will only metabolize 2% of it. Skinny as a rail. The DH, develped a little gut over the winter (works a seasonal job, so his arms look fantastic but the pooch has gone nowhere) and then there's me, who can not eat a thing. So back to my point, Just label check... -

This is embarrassing LOL!!!!! I usually take my ciggarette breaks (I know bad sarah) and find a tucked away place outside and FART MY HEART OUT!!!!!!! sometimes gas pills just don't work... I hate using the bathroom at my job because It's right next to the bosses cubical, and I don't know exactly what they can hear (even with the noisey exhaust fan) So Thats why I'll hold it until I go smoke. As for the stomach rumbles, sometimes they are SO BAD that it sounds like I'm passing gas at my desk. -

sarahbellzz14-4 replied to sarahbellzz14-4's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The DH isn't too thrilled about the Color part.. because I'm going red, and as for the cut, he's not to thrilled about how much I'm cutting off- basically my hair is grown out layers, the bottom being down to my lower back, and the shortist is sholder length, but I think honestly the color thing (going red on red) has him upset. The length, because I have a tatoo in between my sholder blades that freaks him out, so now it covers it, and later, it probably won't... lol...
