WOW! you guys have me either scared or excited!!! I weighed 238 the week before I was banded. My band was 4/27 and I went to the Doc 1 week later for a post-op follow up. I was down 11 pounds but i didnt count that as "real" weight loss. I just figured not eating anything but jello and SF ice pops for 7days- and vomiting the first 3 of those days- would take 11 pounds off of anybody-not just a bandster!! LOL! I dont get weighed again until 6-28....I dont really "feel" like I've lost anything So..... compared to you guys, I'm either failing miserabley or in for a real treat / pleasant shock on 6/28.....

i was allowed egg drop on stage two or three. it is not considered "clear".... -
I had this problem. I purchased a stomach binder and that helped. Also, i found relief by laying on a pillow on my stomach.

i couldn't open the pix but i do agree with the liquid diet being WAY worse than any scars or any little pain!!! :-)

oh my goodness! Milk is NOT my friend! i added a few ounces to my cream soup (which i'm not really allowed to have - the soup that is) and about 4 hours later, I was doubled over in pain!! :bored: gas cramps!!! (sorry for the TMI!!!)

wow! you have a great space! looks like a scrapbook page! i would loooove to loose 100 pounds, but that's more like a fantasy than a goal for me right now!!! i saw the pictures of your bras & panties.... thats funny b/c just this morning i told my hubby that i cant wait to buy new bras-cute ones!!!!
-
that's great!!!!!!
-
"loseIt" is so right! i never saw my fat until i was horrified in pictures!! try the progress pix idea!!!
-
you are right! your friend is wrong!!! enjoy your journey!!!

my home scale broke when we moved (2 years ago). my bathroom is so small that i never replaced it - b/c i have no room for it! i only weigh in when i go to a doctor's ofc. i try to judge my weight loss by the way my jeans fit (doesnt seem like i lost anything). I'm afraid to weigh-in and be disappointed b/c Im kind of a perfectionist and i might give up if i havent lost any weight! i go to my Doc june 28th...... i'll see then....I can start on my "mushie/straw" diet tomorrow. so i should be able to tell if i feel any restrictions then.....
-
my 1st fill was 3 weeks ago...i got 3.75 cc but felt NO restrictions!!! I WAS STARVING!!! today the doc put in another 5 cc (which he said was a "record" all at once)....that brings me up to 8.75 w/my 2nd fill!!! I'm on liquids right now and everything is going down fine... i hope! hope! hope! that i feel some restrictions when i start my mushies & food! [my surgery was 4/27... i have a 11 capacity Realize band.... I havent weighed in yet....] I can't "weight" to start loosing weight!! :eek:
-
congratulations on your baby in the belly!!! and happy b'day to your princess!!!
-

-
my doc doesnt allow me to have ANY cream soups at all!!! consider yourself "lucky"! ha! ha!
-
i feel the same way about fills...i cant stand the 3 days of clear liquid diet! aaaaahhh!
-
i understand about the chewing thing...at times i've actually had to chew this or that then spit it out before i swallow! groosss and nutty, i know!!!
-
wow! sorry that happened to you!! is your doctor educated in the LP process?? not to insult him/her but this process is FAR from easy!!
-
congrats! i needed to hear this right now...i was banded 4/27.... I've only had one fill so i have very little restrictions (none) and im STARVING!!!!!

I had a hiatal hernia too! didnt even know it until i woke up from my banding surgey. turns out the doc fixed it while he was "in there" and i didnt even know the difference!!! he called it a "bonus" :-)
