I have a cup of decaf when I want something warm with sweet n low

how many of the bandsters drink pop? I dnt I havent had pop since november n I had a strong craving for one. But I didnt give n to temptation. Will a diet pop hurt?

since surgery 11-24-09 Ive noticed that I have so much gas now n I dnt know where its coming from. Is there something that I can do 2 stop or control it? It doesnt matter what I eat, im nt eating fatty or greasy foods. any advice or suggestions?

going n for my 3rd fill on the 18th of feb. So 2day is my last day 2 eat while I can bc after a fill I b swollen for about a week n cnt really get nothing down until My band loosens up.

thanks mimi n leighamason Im doing much better. for some reason Im super thirsty. maybe I can now get my Water intake n without a problem

Omg I thought that I could take 3 ccs yesterday so I left and got in my car and burped and threw up. I thought once I threw up I would be fine so I drove hom and what did I do that for. I was sooo sick sliming and throwing up now keep in mind I didnt eat anything since wed night around 10pm I threw up everything that was in me then it was like foam... I called the doc and had to wait to 230pm to see him and then he took all the fluid out of me then made sure that the band hadnt slipped then he started to add the fluid back in. so my body is real sore from all that throwing up I feel like I just did 300 sit ups.... this weekend I going to take it easy and rest..... hope all is well

I got my band nov 24th 2009 1st fill dec 21st 2009 seconf fill jan 26th 2010 3rd fill feb 18th

how long does a fill last??? and how long should it last???

How long does ur fill last??? how long should it last???

do u think that protien shakes make u gain weight? yes or no n explain...

yeaaaah u did it! Im right behind u im trying 2 move past 189 n its difficult. keep up the hard work n congrads on completing the 5day pouch test. what is ur goal weight?

how do I get my body n the groove of losing weight on a weekly basis? it seems 2 me like the only time that I can lose weight is when I get a fill n Im swollen so I cnt eat. when the swelling goes down about 4-5 days later I cnt lose nothing... Im exercising 3-4 days a week sometimes 2x a day n I cnt get that scale 2 move past 189. Im back n forth 191-189. I even tried the 5day pouch test n Im on day 4. still up n down those 2 damn lbs. my doc tells me nt 2 count calories n I do have restriction, im eating less so whats the problem?

well when u 1st get banded u dnt have any fluid in ur band unles ur doc leaves a little in u. so its just like ur band is there n open and ur stomach is healing from the surgery...just take ur time and chew very slowly..... when u start getting ur fills n something gets stuck trust me u will know because it will hurt really bad. it feels like something is stuck in ur chest and its nt a good feeling... enjoy ur food while u can now just dont over do it

thats just what I have eaten so far today like by 4pm I will try maybe some eggs n yogurt later or a grilled chicken salad. I have to make myself eat because I dnt really have an appetite.... my doc tells us nt to count calories eat haelthy food choices until we get enough and after 2 bites I feel that hurting painful feeling in my chest. yes Im chewing and chewing and chewing and when I feel that feeling I think this is what restriction feels like

I would say that Im having female issues and I need to have surgery. its not there bus what type of surgety that u r having but ur doc will give u a return back to work slip and ur time off will be covered and secured due to medical issues... dnt worry about it and congrads on ur surgery date u r on ur way welcom aboard!!!!

no I dnt journal because my doc told me not to that I was not on a diet and not to count calories????? Usually in the mornings Im really tight and I cnt eat so I try to have a cup of coffee to losen me up and today is the 4th day of the 5day pouch test so I ate like 3oz of ground beef with salsa but I couldnt finish it all. I took my vitamin then I had a special k protein shake 180 calories 10grams of protein n my water thats it so far

hello n congrads on meeting ur goal. can u share with me what diet u followed 2 keep losing weight on a consistant weekly basis. u can send it 2 my email dowhatitdo1@yahoo.com. It will b 3months since I was banded on the 24th. n it seems like i cn only lose weight when i gt a fill n thats bc im swollen n cnt eat. then after a week no more weight loss. please help me n also what type of exercise do u do. please kit

2day is day 2 of my 5 day pouch test n so far it hasnt been so bad I didnt quite get my 64 oz of water n. I will try harder 2day n hopeful a pound or 2 will come off. last day of liquids n soup then I can have some of my cheesey eggs. I cnt wait till day 3 which is 2morrow..

Im at my 2nd fill n I really cnt eat a lot so how n the world am I suppose 2 consume all these calories when I cnt even finish a meal? After 2 bites I cnt eat anymore. what am I going 2 do 2 get the calories I need? (my doc tells me nt 2 count calories, man this is confusing)

yes I am chewing small bites and my doc sd that as long as I am getting some food in and all my liquids IM ok

I had my fill on jan 26th

I agree im an addict n I need 2 find something 2 replace it. I dnt even have 2 b hungry but food is on my mind. we r going 2 alright

hey friend juliansmom Im going 2 definite use those receipies starting next week. n Im going 2 join u n doing the pouch test starting 2morrow. can u repost the reciepes 2 my email so that I can always have them? dowhatitdo1@yahoo.com. I wish u all the best with the test. arent u scheduled for a fill soon? if so u might nt want 2 do the test bc if u shrink ur pouch n they try n give u a fill ur nt going 2 b able 2 get enough ccs. Im just asking let me know what u think. I dnt mean any harm I wnt u 2 b very successful.

did u just get a fill? quick question how many times do u weigh urself. Im addicted n its driving me crazy bc everytime I weigh myself throughout the day each time its a different weight. uuugh Im tryin 2 stop its very addictive. the scale b calling me...

2morrow will b 1week since my 2nd fill n oh how its been rough. N yes i have lost 11lbs n a week im 189 :-) but when i try 2 eat a bite of meat of course i chew n chew n chew then when i swallow all hell breaks loose n my chest n it hurts like hell. Is this real restriction? Is there something that i can do 4 this besides just going 2 sleep n pain? Thanks n advance for all comments n suggestions.
