Gibson 7 Posted January 20, 2008 I am being banded in February and I have 165 pounds to lose so I feel like I'd be more at home in the 200+ group than the 100+ group. That sixty-five pounds makes a big difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibson 7 Posted January 21, 2008 Hmmm. So eleven people have viewed my request and no one said I could play with them. Well, that's too bad cause I'm gonna play with you anyway! =P =) I'm going to be one of those irritating kids who won't leave you alone even though you tell them to go away. LOL Good luck to everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lily76 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Today was my best day so far since surgery!! : ) I didn't have to take any pain medicine and I started to feel so much better. I'm going to my first doctor's visit tomorrow (Tuesday). I made a really yummy creamy potatoe Soup tonight and I added shredded cheddar cheese to it. It was sooooo gooood!! But I totally agree with you Ky....I am SO ready for pureed/mushies starting this Wednesday!! Hey I have a question for you guys...it seems as though that every time I eat my lunch and dinner I get this terrible pain on my left side that then goes through my arm. It is a really uncomfortable pain and I'm wondering if it's because I'm eating too fast? Are any of you experiencing the same thing? I just don't know how slow is slow when they tell me to eat slow????!!! I have never been a slow eater so this part is difficult for me. I'm planning on asking my doctor about it when I go in for my appointment on Tuesday. I hope all is well with everyone! : ) Goodnight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toni_o 0 Posted February 12, 2008 lily, that sounds painful and kind of scary! i'm glad you see your doc today. i'm not good at eating slowly either. now that i'm on regular food--i'm one month post op today and my doc has a quickly progressive plan--i've gotten uncomfortable a few times because i've eaten too fast. part of learning to eat with the band is eating slowly enough to recognize the signals of 'satisfied'. i have trouble catching it...mostly because i'm used to eating until 'full' not 'satisfied'. maybe we should both see if putting the spoon/fork down between bites will help? i go in for my first fill today...and i'm excited and nervous!
