    Hi all,I also have been getting hicups!!they hurt, but I didn't know I was full then..good to know,this is a really strange thingy, I have... today i could eat, well just about anything I wanted, was really hungry today.i try being good, I guess we all have those days, just a good thing it isn't everyday.

    I did go to the Doc,, He said that I was doing very good, I told him about the tightness, So I didn't get a fill. I have been having some slimming incidents, not fun!! So I go again in a month,said I may have my band inflamed?? I have to eat real slow, one good thing,have been losing weight.YES!!!
  10. Ritalou
    Well hello..My weight had slowed also, for three weeks not a single pound.... well I weighed today and wow I was suprised,lost about six pounds, I go to the doc Friday,another fill, my second, I haven't had much restriction since the first fill, but this week I have been really tight! I don't know how that works, really strange, been hard to eat much.I don't know if he will do a fill or not.

    Where is everyone??? haven't heard from anyone in a month, let me know what is going on with everyone ..ok?
  12. Ritalou
    I got stuck today, really the first really bad one. I ate to fast, or I didn't chew well, both will cause it, I think if you have a band ,at some point this will happen, it will for sure slow you down. good luck tomorrow, remember,SLOW...chew well.lol
  13. Ritalou
    Yes it was my first fill..I am discourged as well. I am not gaining, but I am not losing either..But i do feel better than I did the other day..lol,Thanks for sharing with me,at least i'm not the only one that thinks i don't have a band..Oh yea, my doc won't tell me how much he puts in,,wonder why.?
  14. Ritalou
    ok where is everyone??? I got my fill, I think I'm hungerier than ever!.... what to do??
  15. Ritalou
    I am getting my first fill Aug. 7th.
  16. Ritalou
    For those who have had fills, or just someone that knows.. how many cc's fluid does a standard AP lapband hold..just wondering,, and does the doc tell you how much he is putting in, when he does a fill.
  17. Ritalou
    Hi, yes I also get the achie feeling, kinda of hurts, I think I am eating to fast, I can just about eat what i want...That is not a good thing, really been eating, I am walking about two miles a day,,that is why im not gaining I guess, not losing but not gaining...also I do have a lot of gas too... wonder why? seems like it moves around my port at times and that hurts.
  18. Ritalou
    I think it means Productive belch, don"t really know that for sure, they were talking about getting food stuck and then had a pb and it came up, like the air pushed the food back up, what do you think?:thumbup:
  19. Ritalou
    Hello, I am doing better, that bending at the waist really has done me in...I get my first fill the 7th of Aug. I haven't had weight loss yet this week will weigh in the morning,I think I am ready for the fill ,need restriction.I also need to learn not to bend over all the time.LOL
  20. Ritalou
    I think I may have messed up,I picked green beans yesterday, port area had been aching all day, I hope it's better tomorrow, I am so afraid of messing up my port, it didn't hurt at the time..so I just did it.
  21. Ritalou
    Am going back to the Doc tomorrow, am looking forward to weighing on his scale, eleven pounds of my weight I lost on the pre op diet, I hope I'm not eating to much, I'm going to talk to the nutritionist while I'm there maybe she can help me out, I need further instruction..on just how to use this tool..lol

    Ritalou replied to kimmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I know I'm new.... but what is the 5 day pouch test thing?, just wondering.
  23. Ritalou
    I have that problem too.. eating to fast..I started soft food today,had canned chicken with little mayo on club crackers, really good. I also eat with a baby spoon,chew chew, I don't guess I ever really chewed my food before LOL.But for Dinner I went back to refried beans with taco sauce and a little sour cream, didn't want to push it, my late night cravings for sweets I have fudge bars (Splenda sweetened) or SF popsicles. really has been a change, but I think I am ready for it, or I sure do hope I am.
