HAD MY BAND+Gastric Plication Weight Loss Surgery YESTERDAY

[judgememaw 2]

I had my band/plication 6 months ago and I felt weak and kind of yuk for a week. I am down 42 lbs now and only started having fills 3 months ago. I am at 5cc in a 14cc band. I have NEVER been sick or stuck and I feel good! I'm off diabetes meds and my sleep machine. Life Is good! Hang in there friend! It will only get better. If you have any issues let me know!

Youre a teacher? Me too - english. Oo thats a good idea to set a goal for the next day, & if the kids force you into action well... what can you do!?

Its 1 week ago now..no pain no meds,no probs except...no poop. Seriously. Feel bloated and taken 2 lots of laxative now & still nothing. I guess a week of clear liqiids just makes pee & theres nothing to come out? Today i start a week of non Clear Liquids, Soups smoothies etc. Hopefully that should start something off.

Have you dealt with head hunger yet? Last night i really wanted a takeaway & a beer...even though i didnt. I can never overeat again. slightly scared about that.

Hi, K. -- Yes, I'm a writing teacher (college). I have to teach for four hours straight on Tuesday and I can't wait. I'm going a little buggy (my surgery was on Monday). I did poop (my major accomplishment of July) and I wasn't expecting that! I don't know where that came from - oh, I know! 35 years of bad eating! And this is what my diet is now consisting of: Water Water water + coffee in the morning, Protein drink, creamed Soup for lunch, Protein Drink, cream soup for dinner, Protein Drink. And today I think I'll mix it up and -- do exactly the same. BORING. I could go see people, but why bother when I can only sip sip sip. I don't have head=hunger, but I have "memory" hunger -- like "it's 7pm, time for a burger and fries." Thank god I didn't drink or I know I'd be craving that. And we will be able to over eat -- and over-vomit. So we'll just have to pick one or the other. Does life sound grand?
