The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind and motivation you have to convince. You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Let that person who is inside come out and see the world. Take it one day at a time. Happy Holidays. PS: Update me on your progress

I'm not down with BANDSTER HELL!
jvinciguerra1 replied to givempills's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I woke up starving from surgery. I've had two fills and still nothing. Won't have another fill for a month. Trying to stay positive. -
I had my band done in August. It was awful waiting but it honestly was a breeze. No nausea, no pain, absolutely no complications. Ask them for a drug "cocktail" before surgery. You'll go into the operating room singing.

Five weeks out and starving. Had two small fills and won't get another one for at least another month. Surgeon believes in taking it slow. I have to do the weight watcher program or I'll eat everything in sight. 10 pounds in 5 weeks suck but better than going the other way. I also could be exercising to much and putting on muscle. I'm in it for the long haul so I try not to get discouraged when I see how much weight you guys have lost. No side effects from day one. I would never known I had surgery unless I look at my scars. Take care Erin, hope you are feeling better soon. I use two benefiber packets (citrus punch) in 32 oz of water and sip on that and it keeps me regular. I would be in pain without it.

Any one Banded 8/4/09 or 1st week of August

If you are worried about the fill ... don't be. Surgeon couldn't find my port whole but still ... nothing to it. -
A Couple Of Places To Check Out On The Web (that are free)

fitday.com (tracks food, activities, journal & moods.) sparkpeople.com (healthy recipes for you and the whole family) Also free. Both are very easy to use. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -
A Month Out and Never Felt Restriction of Any Kind
jvinciguerra1 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Anyone else feel like they did pre-band ? I've had one fill and still nothing. I eat healthy (but I can eat everything). Can I really hurt the band when I have no restriction yet ? Thanks ! :frown: -
Hint for drinking soda..
jvinciguerra1 replied to CantB2noty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think is it safe to say that most everyone here has certain foods that are addictive for them. Some people have soda or sweets. For me it was chips. I'm pretty proud when I can have a handful and then just walk away. I suppose not everyone can do this with addiction. Alcohol and drugs .... you can't have just one drink or one hit of cocaine. It's a life long journey we are on and it is very individual.
