Hi Mackie:

Open another window and paste this URL in it:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f5/ticker-tutorial-pictures-41782/

That will let you follow the directions in another window as you make changes to your signature in this window.

Hope this helps! Susan

I was banded on the 11th of July.

I can't eat more than a couple of mouthfulls of food a day, nor can I drink more than a litre of Water. I get too full.

I am only concerned about malnutrition. I had that happen once before and I cannot go thru my hair falling out in clumps like a cancer patient.

I managed half a hotdog.

You were banded July 11th and you are eating a hot dog??? Are you sure you are allowed. You dont want slippage. If you are eating wrong foods, that could be what is causing your problems and why you are having trouble eating. I was banded before you and folks are having a fit Im allowed mushy food already. Certainly not a hot dog.

Some of the bands are installed with some Fluid in them. Call your surgeon. It sounds like you are way too tight. Dehydration, etc. is nothing to mess around with.

Hello fellow July Bandidterrs- yea like that is spelled right! I've seen a big list on other sites for people to sign up on the day of your surgery, maybe we could do the same here so that we can see who, when type of a deal? Anyone interested? If so I'll get it started with me :unsure:)

Debbles, I also have had a bloated type feeling many times during the day. I was just banded 7/17 and am still trying to decipher surgery pain from possibly gas pain. Today, I started thinking I may want to decrease the lactose in my diet and make my Protein Shakes with Boost, or I may have to get lactaid tomorrow. I'm thinking I still shouldn't feel so bloated from surgery, so it is starting to look like gas is the culprit.

I was banded on July 4th. At first I thought I didn't have any restrictions but I was wrong. Doing extremely well with what I am eating and feeling great. Have stayed away from anything sweet, 4 weeks haven't had a bite! I am in the soft foods stage now and started that last Friday. Things are going very well. I know what you mean by being bloated some foods cause that like fruits and veggies. One day I had some baked potato and I was full the entire day. So I know to stay away from potatoes. Sometimes my tummy at night is very bloated but I think it is due to what I eat. It is a learning curve. We all have to try to pay attention what causes this. I ate Broc. cheese Soup from Jasons' Deli (yummy) and I am sitting here bloated so it is either the cheese or broc. So I know now when I eat it this is how I am going to feel. I am very full don't want any food. I thought at first when I was banded I was not restricted and I was wrong. It takes awhile to notice it due to having fluids, this is what is happening to me. I do have lots of restriciton it is perfect. I can eat a normal size dinner and I am full and stay that way for hours. If I eat Breakfast same thing. So just to let you know after fluids you may do the same. It is great and I don't think at this point I will need a fill.

Orea, good luck and Oh WOW you have lost a lot already! You go GIRL!

I have tried the Protein Shots can't stand them. Right now I am suppose to be off of Protein Drinks. Find it pretty hard to get enough Protein. I am down about 14 pounds. Have not gained back any weight before my first fill which is in another 4 weeks. I was told I would gain some weight back. They said the weight that you lose at first is Water but I have kept it off so I don't know what that is all about.

Any one else having Protein Shakes still?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
