How would you know yourself if you stretched your band or your pouch...is there some sort of feeling you get?

My weight loss so far...day of surgery I was 290...weight as of today 248...so I think the weight loss is going good...but I am agreeing with the post after mine...just worried about hitting that sweet spot...I have 6.5 cc's so far...I think I am almost there... not sure...this is a whole different process for me and all of us...taking it one day at a time.

I was just wondering about the stretching...it hasn't been three months since my surgery yet...not always hungry but not sure what the restriction feeling is...not sure if I have had that yet...have had some stuck issues or my body tells me if I am eating too fast with certain things.

Hello kinda new here...had my surgery March 1, 2010...lost 40 pounds so far...not sure what the fullness or the restriction is supposed to feel like...not sure what anything is supposed to feel like...sometimes I feel full really soon and sometimes I don't depends on what I am eating...have had some stuck episodes...surprisingly with a hard boiled egg...scared me really bad...couldn't breath for a minute...any suggestions for me to actually know what I am doing? This may sound a little weird. I have 6 and a half cc's...does anyone think that is too much...maybe I am right on the edge of the right amount...still waiting to see...also keep going back and forth with a couple of pounds...maybe I should stay off the scale???:scared2:

Why thank you so much!!! You just gave me some more confidence!!!!

I don't really have any secret...way back when I started this whole process I was weighing 316...down to 248 now...day of surgery 290...so like 42 pounds...watching what I eat and going to the gym...back when I was heavier...didn't even want to leave my room...now less weight...doing more stuff (activities)...i thought my weight loss was going slow...i guess not...was going to the gym twice a day...now back down to once a day...in the morning before work...twice a day got to be too much for me...i was pushing myself too much...walk at work a lot so I guess you just gotta stay active...what is the normal weight loss? never thought about it.

i think what i am experiencing is a sinus infection. noticed i was feeling sort of like a popping in my ear when i swallowed. i dont know if that has anything to do with the surgery or the tube being down my throat. could be a coincidence. i have a drs appt in the morning to get looked at but i have been taking some tylenol sinus and feels much better. but if i have a sinus infection i need to get some antibiotics in me. but i think the throat pain from the tube has been gone. good luck with your progress.

Hello All New to the boards. Had my surgery on March the 1st. Doing pretty good except for the extreme pain I am having on the roof of my mouth. Has anyone else had this problem? Getting a little worried about it. Thanks.:smile2:

I have slooowwwwly but surely getting better with tylenol and popsicles...I have my first doctors visit on Thursday and I will let them know if it does not get better before that. Thank you for the reply:thumbup:

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dawn and I just had lapband surgery done on 3/1/2010. My lapband surgeon was Isaias Irgau with Chrias (Christiana Institute of Advanced Surgery). Hi everyone!:smile2:

Hi Dawn. No middle names not Marie...lol...but both of my nieces middles names are Marie. I am feeling okay besides the gas i actual feel moving through my system. Stomach is a little sore but only today... I woke up with the dry heaves. I am also having some pain in the roof of my mouth. My mom says she thinks it bruised and will go away in time...but pain is not just pain its annoying. I took a look at your blog and you look so different from just a 39 pound weight loss. Hoping my results are the same. Thank you for writing back to me. -May God give you... For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer.

ok thank you. i understand that it does last a couple of days after surgery. I got mine done on monday. Is that normal? my mother says the roof of my mouth may be bruised. I am going to the store to get some sf popsicles. thank you for your help. i have really been enjoying reading everyone's questions in here through some things that i thought was only happening to me. :smile2:
