That would make since cause when I do have to "go" it hurts right there. Also if I have gas it hurts right there. The question is when does it stop cause i don't want this to be a part of the routine. So when did yours stop?

they have noticed they just don't know how to approach you. People are weird.

So what type of foods? I'm kinda experimenting. Tired of chicken.

a chicken burger. I've never heard of it. Sounds good. Well I am on solid foods. Its kinda hard cause I feel like I eat alot. I know that I don't but i have gained a few pounds back since I am able to eat. I am walking about 45 mins a day but i still gained...

ladies I know this page is old but I too was panicking because I am 2 wks post op and am having having cramps in the lower left side but its not near the port. Iknow this because when I feel the pain I touch the port instinctually. Its good to know I'm not alone. Thank you all.

Well my doc put me on low carb low fat until my first fill on the 22nd. He say this but I'm thinking of still being very liberal with my eating. That sounds good. Do you think I could add fruit?? Honestly, my protein shakes are nasty and I'm trying to find a way to make them better.

Get outta here! You can cross your legs! I'm not even close. I would love to cross my legs. I'm just 2 wks post op so I can't do too much just yet. Congratulations on that. I can't wait to be 195.

Hi, I made it! So I went to the doctor today. I didn't get filled today. He says he's going to wait 2 more weeks for that. He wants me to walk just get moving for now. I am on a low carb low fat diet. He says that the mushy stage is for those that had gastric bypass not really for banders. He says that since everything is intack out bodies can tolerate food et all. so I ate regularly for dinner. Some chicken, and I'm fine.

Hi, femme I'm glad youre doing okay. Are you back at work yet? I am and I am soooo tired. i am a teacher assistant so I do alot of walking and I swear I wish kids still took naps so I could join them. Now I'm having a different kind of pain now that i am working. I have been thinking that maybe I haven't been using my turso muscles so much and they have weakened and now that I am using them they are sore. Is that a possibility. All I know is i'm hurting in the front of my tummy. No where near the port sometimes I'm have a shot of pain on my left side. Anyone else? It was explained on this page but I dont know which page or how to explain it to you. Sorry.

I'm anticipating my doc appt thrusday. What did they do to you today? How did they know about your stenosis? Were there more test done. Can you get sick of the doctor with this process cause I kinda am.

I too wear a light silky shirt as an undershirt so that I can tuck it under my bra. But they should be healed by the time you go back to work. Let the girls free this week

I am so so sorry to hear that. I was really hoping that it wouldn't be anything and that things could continue smoothly for you. I hope its doesn't get any worse and that you can stay banded. Take care of yourself.

Hi, I thought it sounded weird. I will do the liquids but then it to food. I can pass the mushy stage. It does sound strange. I like it on this page. Plus I keep getting lost trying to find the september board except if I click on your the link that you created but I have to look for it each time.

hey ladies, I'm doing much much better. I still have the cut inside my belly button that healing slower than the rest but all in all I feel well. I'll go to the doctor thursday and make sure things are okay. He was thinking of filling me that day and skipping mushies. What do you all think of that? I dont think i'm going to do it. I don't want to jump right into food just yet-i'm scared I'm going to choke or something.

I really pray that you are alright. I agree with the others-no fever no infection. Are you touching and pushing on it a lot. leave it be. It will be okay.:scared2:

I'm so scared of this stage. I have always detested throwing up. It drains energy so I avoid. Stop drinking to avoid it. Well I'm glad its out of your way and you can stay focused cause I know you don't want that to happen again. I have a bit of a gut and the doc gut right in the belly button area. Did it take anyone elses belly button region longer to heal? Amanda, no the pcp has yet to call.

I haven't been checking my blood sugars since technically, I don't have diabetes. Well I check it and it was 58. I think this may be my problem so I called my LAP-BAND® physicians and asked if I have something sweet cause I know that's dangerous. At first they didn't want to answer but their nurse called back and told me to get some juice or a piece of candy. My regular physican has yet to call.:mad:

Yes. seems if I walk one day the next day I don't feel so good.

Thanks for the advise. i am trying to hold on. I go to the doctor on oct 1. I can't wait. He was thinking of filling me then and putting me on low carb high proteint diet. Basically skipping the mushies. I don't know if I'm going to be ready for that. Today, I was close to an axiety attack(fear, shaking, near hyperventalating) and I'm very weak with a slight pain on the side as the device but I don't think its device related. I don't have fever and my cuts look decent. I have 5. think im getting better just small things are making me loose it. I am having applesauce. My Protein shake is making me nauseos now.:mad:

Welcome!:thumbup: How is every one doing?? MY body just won't get right. So I finally stopped taking the vicadin tuesday. So I thought I was dizzy from the lack of it. Yet today I get dizzy sometimes. My stomach hurt for a while and I get extremely weak. OH, yeah I'M STARVING!!! I don't think I could do the whole 2 wks of liquids. Now I'm having a little chest pain. I wouldn't even call it pain more like pressure.I'm ready to be better now.

Yes, I got it and I go to both places. Thanks!
