I had my surgery on Aug 1 2007, im on regular food now its pretty good.

Wow what was going on with Jenn and Dick tonight, I though they were going to kill eachother. I wouldn't want to be around Dick without him having smokes. But maybe he will quit smoking now.

Oh forgot i think Dick and Jenn would make a nice couple.

I love Dick, i want him to win.

How much did you lose before your fill? i have lost 21lb since July 18, 12lb on optifast and 9lb since the surgery for the last week i have lost nothing. Curious mind wants to know.

The Yukon health care wont cover the lap band surgery because they say there is no research on the lap band for more then 5 years, I wonder if i can prove them wrong?

Hi guys Well im all done! :clap2: I though I would be feeling :sick but I'm not and not really tired. Just siting up in bed at the hotel playing on the pc. The only place im sore is were my port is. Hi kat44 i hope your doing good, sorry if i didnt make much since when i woke up. :phanvan

When I was banded last week DR C told me about this He also said that no surgons will do the surgery through OHIP becouse the $600 does not cover the costs.

i just order two books eating well after weight loss surgery from patt levine and recipes for life after weight loss surgery from margaret furtado hope i get them soon. oh i order them on amazon.com

Hi there So tomorrow i get to start pureed, i was thinking about cane crab meat and shrimp does anyone have any recipe's? Im not crazy about tuna but i will do what ever i have to do. I like chicken if anyone as ideas maybe i will try chicken avacado salad please help

why do i feel and bps all the time?

Thanks you guys, i feel great i don't feel sick at all. Just sometimes i feel like bps, I will try to drink slower from now on. It's weird how i can have 100g of yogurt and I'm satisfied. Grocery shopping is going to be interesting, thats for sure $$$$$$$ left over.

i just got my band last wednesday, and im on liquild.

When i talk to Dr C about optifast he told me everyone cheats. I cheated i had plain chicken breast twice, one chicken sandwich on brown, and popcorn twice, and he did the surgery as long as u do the best you can. He told me my liver was small, i was worry for nothing. Good luck on your big day its pretty soon right? andrea

this is my belly the day after surgery sorry not a pretty site

It's been so long since i have been waiting for the lap band. well i got it so what do i do now? what do i eat?. I'm on clear liquid until next thursday, then one week puree than regular food, I'm scare to eat.

Today is day four after surgery, and i can have optifast plus other low fat low calorie fluids. So all i have been eating is some jello, yogurt apple juice, chicken broth. And i have only lost 1lb well i guess its better then gaining. Can i have boost? I do feel like i have a air bubble inside of me it's a weird feeling what is that?

Yes the toque was weird, but the blue robe was way to big i could of had 5 of me in there. We when shopping today at cotton ginny i got some tops only m/m and some large and some small, they were having a great sale. Looking foward to going home on saturday, not much to do here. ttyl

Oh thank you very much for offering your really sweet, but i got my husband here. I'm going out today were going to the mall, going to be walking slow but thats ok. Thanks again. Good luck on your surgery

I got a card with sn#. and then its say maximum fill volume 10cc so is that good?? they scratch out the 14cc.

Im doing so good i started to pack our new clothing, im just trying to move a little bit. so i clean the room too. Should i be feeling so hungry, thats what hurt the most how hungry i am.

Well it's was good except waiting for a 1 1/2 in the waiting room. Not sure why they ask you to get there for one hours before, when you just sit there in the waiting room. I think i was out not even one hour after surgery, they kick me out pretty fast that was weird. I am really hungry right now, I wish i could have a optifast or anything. I don't feel like i got the band, I can only feel where the port is its the only place that is sore. They did 5 lap band today. Its a really busy clinic thats for sure.

Hi guys well im all done. Im feeling pretty good not tired we just got back to the hotel about 30mins ago. The nurse ask me if i just had surgery cause im doing so good. I should go to sleep but im not tired.

Well this is my last weekend i will be leaving on Monday morning 7am, we're going to be in Vancouver for about 4 hours so were going to the casino (hope i can win). then making a way to Ontario we don't get there until 10pm, not really looking forward to the uncomfortable plane ride. But looking forward to my new life surgery is on Wednesday:omg:. I still have four days left but so far I'm down 8.6lb not sure from where probably my head. Got my bullet and optifast pack already. Should i bring my liquid vitamin??? Anyways coming back home on Saturday hope i will be feeling good enough cause I'm back to work on Tuesday. Thanks you guys for being so understanding with me since i have been around here for almost one year now asking questions. ttyl

Dr C got it plan he aready as a Dr there for me
