My normally oily skin has gotten drier (so has my hair). I started taking fish oil. Seems to have helped a little. I went through a ton of lotion the first 2 months. Month 3 is getting better.

Roberta, I think you are absolutely right in thinking that many people (most???) who have WLS think that's it - they've done their part - and then go their merry way without changing anything else. The body is an amazing thing, how it can compensate for what we do to it. But the mind... WOW The mind is the most amazing thing of all. We can change our thoughts and habits, but it takes work, and there is no quick fix. In the end, WLS is a tool to help us change our habits. I wish it was billed more that way, than as a way to "lose weight". Because again, I think for most people, that focus on "losing weight" is a false focus. The focus SHOULD be (IMHO) changing our habits and thought processes about food. That is WAAAAY easier to do when our capacity for large quantities of food is removed, and that constant physical hunger is turned off. But, it doesn't happen automatically. So if we don't work on the mind part, when the body starts compensating, the weight will creep back on. I certainly believe that compensation is not as drastic for the lapband as the RnY, but we still need to work on changing our habits, just in case we ever fall into that 1%-3% that must have our bands removed for whatever reason.

Too Tight?

Go easy with it. Remember warm liquid will relax the muscles, and cold will contract ! That's probably why you threw up !I would leave the pop cycles in the freezer Focus on Soups, and Shakes for about 3 days (since you threw up !) Then switch to mushies for 2 days, then try food. That sounds like a plan, and that's the way they do it where I go, and that is the rule for under Fluoroscope. -
The N.P. checked my incisions. Which all looked fine there is some slight bruising on the top of the stitches for my port site but she said that it was not enough to be concerned about. Talked with the dietician and went over the foods I was able to handle the last week so I am now on mushies! Had some baked fish and mashed sweet taters for dinner. It was pretty enjoyable to not drink all my food lol. I go back in one month for a fill. The dietician warned that closer to to the date I may start to feel more and more hungry but right now hunger is not the problem it's more a mental thing that I FEEL like I'm missing out on something but when it actually comes time to eat I can barely get in enough Protein for the day. today was the most daily calories I've had since surgery and the total was 400. I am tolerating walking well and thinking about getting back to the Y for some elliptical work because its just getting colder and colder every day here in Illinois I know I will not be able to stroll around the block for too much longer. Does anyone else get the reaction from anyone that the tiny bites and small amount of food you can handle is ridiculous? Many people have said they don't see how I can be healthy on so little

I was banded in December of 2008 and have lost 77 lbs. I am 1/2 lb from a healthy BMI, my original goal (I think I will try and go lower). I did have a fill approximately a month ago and am feeling like it is a sweet spot as I have lost about 5 lbs since. However, for the last week I am having a lot of pain on the left side of my port. My port does pooch out just below my rib cage, but I wasn't going to address that problem unitl I felt I was at my final weight. The pain feels like it is in the muscle almost like a stich in my side. Does anyone know what would be causing pain this far out from surgery? Do I need to get an unfill? Thanks
