How does this work? I just had a mouthfull of chocolate milk and it wasn't sitting right so I had to vomit the thing is it came out clear This is my first drink for the day. So how is it that my sick was clear lol ?

Hi Wheetsin thanks so much for replying , I'm in Australia so I can request a blood test at anytime That's exactly like me when I was bigger I had no problems with my cholesterol at all. The dr said It could be something I have inherited but for me there is no way I can find out if my parents had high cholesterol. My mum was on alot of pills so it could be a possibility.. My sister said she would go get bloods taken and I will ask my brother also so how there test come back I can either rule it in or out.. Out of everything I never imagined that would come back high

Can what you eat the night before interfere with the outcome of the blood test? So I had a blood test done and the results came in and I couldn't have been more shocked, Everything came back low for starters which I was prepared for BUT what shocked me was my cholesterol it came back high I " Normally " have a pretty good diet I don't cook in oils, I don't have any animal fat apart from what I put into my coffee and very rarely eat cheeses ect , I don't eat take away's and the list that he gave me of things to avoid I don't eat. I'm not overweight anymore and I excersise not a fanatic but I do enough. However.... I did have a bowl of nacho's the night before just a small bowl, I was told to fast from midnight onwards I had these at around 6ish.. I am wondering if this one little bowl could have uppered my cholesterol? I would have thought it would have to be something I do constantly to make it so high it wasn't a little bit high it was 5.9 high

Ahhhhhhhh lol you learn something new everyday .. I've never tried the V8 juice before but am willing I definatley need to have something to replace what I'm lacking.. Thanks guys it's a PITA lmfao sorry had to use it :girl_hug:

Hi Laurel W and Welcome,It's such an exciting time.. This site is amazing it's helped me with alot of questions there is always someone who can answer you.. And the support here is unreal.. Good luck with your journey matey.. Hope to see you around

Hi Ya WASabubble Butt :girl_hug: I have no idea what PITA stands for? lol

I lost very little in my first month where as alot of people lost it fast and furious within the first month but come 2 months later and I started losing it faster.. I know it's hard to not have weight loss expectations but remember your body is just getting use to your band, Slow and stready wins the race.. And hey you have weight loss since surgery you should be excited with that;) Chin up matey try not to be so hard on yourself

It's driving me nut's all these crunchy foods cannot be good for me.. Never thought I would say this but I am dying to eat some vegies and meat, Just something a little more solid and fulfilling lol Thanks for responding onlygo I appreciate it

Acid reflux is very possible with the band, I suffer from it here and there.. But it's always good to get these things checked out by a dr.. Good Luck

Awwwwwww isn't there anyone who is/has gone through the same thing as me?? Somebody...Anybody?

Good luck with your surgery, Wishing you amazing success, As for suggestions having someone rub your back and shoulder after surgery does wonders also you might have a burping sensation but won't be able to burp so having someone to pat your back helps with that.Also a spare pillow on hold so you can squish it up against your belly if you need to cough.. Other than that rest up and take care.. Good luck again with the surgery how very exciting for you WoooHooooooo

My surgeon presses in on my port to give me my fill I've never had an xray , I got a fill 3 weeks after my op still being a little tender and him pressing in on it wasn't very nice.. My port is right near my port scar a tiny bit to the left of it.. I can feel it at all times

I was banded last july and I have had 2 fills well 3 but needed an unfill on my last, My surgeon tried putting in 5 ml?? But now I have 2.5 in

Sounds different lol I don't think we have them over here ( Australia ) unless they are called something different.. Thanks for letting me know though
