Seminar was about 2.5 hours I think. They have signs up that they do not want children to come, but some ignore it. How old is your daughter? You have to bring your support person to the seminar. If your daughter is over 18 that would probably work.

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is wrong with me, just when i thought I did not have any restriction, i went on a binge today: within 3 hrs, i ate 1 1/2 cheddarwurst sausages with mustard fried squash , and three cucumbers in maries blue cheese dressing and a sf pudding. I am in soooooo much pain right now, feels like my left side was hit with a hammer. did i tear something inside, or is this normal for being a pig? can some tell me if this is normal or should i be worried? I am sooo ashamed of myself. groaaaan.........

When were you banded? I can only eat about 1/3 cup. I think it is pretty hard to break the band, but be careful so that you do not stretch out the top, your new stomach!

You need input from others, as I have only been banded two weeks, and I would not get past one sausage.

I am not sure what to tell you, I can not give medical advice. I would try to measure my food, eat slow so you can stop before the pain. I usually get a warning twinge.

I am going on September 2, we can meet! I think mine is at 10 am or so. What time will you be there. Please be careful. It does not sound good to eat that much. Will you learn from the pain do you think? The pain has helped me to slow down for sure.

Can you meet us in the park next Saturday? You will get a lot of help from the other ladies.

Sorry, I could not even get my ticker on much less help get one off!

unfortunatly, my appt with the Hoff is at 1:00 and it wouldn't do me much good to meet at the park, since i cannot walk far at all, I was an R.N. back in the day and got hurt badly (back and knees) hopefully when I get some more wt off I will be able to meet with you guys it sounds so supportive and fun...Thanks for listening and I absolutely will be more careful....

OK, keep in touch. I hurt myself at least once a day too. The amount just seems so small!

I just looked it up, there is a support group meeting August 20, maybe that would help.

Take care.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
