That is what i keep telling my self about weight loss to!! good luck in dec -
i go a week from friday for my second fill! I am doing really well. i have different retriction at different times its kinda weird. i have nt been on the scale since my first fill because i was getting a little to obsessed with it ( the scale) I am hoping they go a little conservative for me on my fill! Hope you dont mind if i ask but have you vomitted any?

Hey 22 pounds is AMAZING!! you go girl! I am only down like 15 i think, but that is better then gaining soooooo ill take it lol. I got my first fill last thurs and i notice different restriction throughout the day and everyday is different. Yesterday i was allowed solids so tried a peice of grilled chicken. DID NOT GO DOWN SMOOTHLY. So tell me how much of your weightloss has been since the band and what are you eating mostly now that you had a fill? Hope you are having a excellent day!!

Can you ever eat 'regular' food again?
karmasprincess replied to barbie1978's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
so everyone talks about different people being able to eat different things and how some things get " stuck" . So my question is how do i know if something is "stuck"? I mean will i know right off the bat or an hour later and what does it feel like? I am 5 days post op and really afraid of what foods to try when its time. Should i only try new things at home? Is it horrible pain? and how do i get "un stuck"? Any and all answers are really appreciated. Oh yeah and what about spaghettios? i dont even like them but wondering if anyones tried them? -
