very normal... its those gas bubbles that get stuck. what helped me was walking around the house. it will go away.. for me it was all at once.then i started noticing that my large incision was soar and one corner was not healing as well as the rest, so that took my full attention for a while. I guess having my kids jump up on me wasnt a good idea.. hope you feel better soon.. best of luck

Hello, does anyone have a opinion about the Spanx undergarmites? speciafically the incognito style ( the one that goes from the bust line to the knees)??? Family and friends are suggesting a get one once i cant stand seeing and feeling my loose tummy skin. :sneaky: They are expensive and i dont want to buy one ane realize it is no good. it has been 9 weeks post op (-23lbs) last week i did not loose anything...its going slow, but i should not complain:redface: My second fill will be the last week of Jan. I am hoping to loose a total of 30lbs by then... key word here is "hoping"

Well i had Thanksgiving lunch ready and server by 1:30pm. It was only my kids, my husband and my mother this year. I made a roasted chicken that came out pretty good...atl easy i think so since i could not really taste much since i still have a cold. I did not pig out, i had my protein 1st but i could not reject the stuffing, so i made sure it was really wet and chewed like crazy.Now i am just reslly really thursty!! It has been 2 months since i got banded and i have lost 22 Lbs. I know it could be more if i worked out, but im happy. My goal for New Years is to loose a total of 30lbs by than. hope everyone had a good day!!:cool2:

yikes!!! i just got my 1st fill and i am taking it easy. Maybe you should of gone with the sweet & sour soup. Reading this helps me for in the future i am sure i will be tempted to have take out. Hope you are feeling better now.

WOW you are very lucky you did not get sick and end up back in the hospital. Just be honest with your Dr, it is not like you can hide it. My suggestion is that when you get your 1st fill you do stick to liquids for a while. I just had mine and i am being carefull cuz i do feel restriction and i do not waht to get myself sick Good LUck!!

hi. i had my 1st fill last thurs. I was scared since i saw that he wasnt going to bother with any numbing stuff.My Dr found the port on his first try. I think what helped was that my port was placed just bellow the skin about 3 inches up from my bellybutton. The needle did not hurt, what felt wiered was the sensation of the saline filling the band. He gave me 3cc for now. So far so good, going to be on liquids till tomorrow morning and see how it goes...i do not want anything to get stuck Good luck

i Know exacly whay you mean!! I just had my 1 fill and i am now wondering how my body will react to that FIllet Mignon i was treating myself to once a week...i hope that if i chew it will go down fine, but know that i read your blog i will have to be real careful. I will also have to find other reasons to get together with old friends other that to pig out! THey know about my Band and the last time we got together they could not believe i was usung my bread plate as my dinner platte and that i took 2/3s of my dinner home. Good luck to you

Find a hobbie...yeah right! I am a stay at home mom of 3 small kids and i also used to find myself eating out of boredem....the same routine everyday just meant eating here and there and then wondering Why am i 100 lbs overweight? I dont have the solution, but i am trying hard to stay away from food that are easily accessable (chips, snack mix, crackers). GOOD LUCK!

So i got my 1st fill on Thurs. This is after getting up with a cold and having to take my daughter to thr Dr just to find out she had STREP throat!! Thankfully my Dr found the port on the first try. He said my band was one of the larger ones and that we would start with 3cc and see how that does. The minute the saline went in i felt the pressure. Before i left he made me drink two glasses of H2O to make sure it went down. it did. So now i am back on liquids till Sunday night and them mushies..then maybe by Thanksgiving i will be able to have a bite of the roasted Chicken dinner i am planning to make...:rolleyes:yes i said chicken. I have never been a fan of turkey and since its only going to be 4 adults and 3 kids at the table it is not worth going though the trouble a turkey. I am planning on making a yummy stuffing ( my favorite)with apples, even thought i will probably not be able to pass it down. My goal not is to loose a total of 30lbs by Xmas>... only 11 lbs to go! My wish is to be loosing Slow but steady.

wow people must make a double take when they see you...very nice!! love reading your blog kepp it up!

Hi G, I know what you mean about being to young to have aches and pains. I am 34 and a mother of 3 small kids...and my house is constantly a mess, i try to keep it organized but picking up tos a million times a day my back just gives out. I am about 6 weeks Post Op and i already feel a difference in energy and i know once i loose 50-60lbs my back and knees will be more willing to cleaning up and playing on the floor Good luck

Good luck... how many fills have you had? I am having my 1st on Thurs and im getting nervouse. I dont want to deal with a "over fill" becuase getting back to my Dr office is a all day thing and i cant be feeling lousy while taking care of my 3 small kids.
