Hello Mollyjo, i'm about 15days post-op and like yourself at about 9dayspost-op i also had about 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes, but did not throw up and feel fine. Do you feel like you threw up because of the mashed potatoes ?

my plan does not allow breads and potatoes and starchy things until I have lost 70% of my weight...maybe it was 75%. It isn't because I may not tolerate it. It is because the carbs are not good for losing weight. I am suppose to fill up on Protein.

Plans sure do vary a lot!

I feel so blessed to have all of you. It's great to be with folks that are at the same point as me. Thanks for the reminder of 1-2 lbs per week is good. I keep feeling disappointed if I dont hit 15 per month. I've lost 13 lbs at my 3 wk point tomorrow. I'm gonna get in the gym next week. I feel so much better this week. Moving much faster now.

Folks be careful with your food in take. I'm never once I go to the fish, cottage cheese and can foods stage (stage 3)...the stage before real food. I hope I still loose.

Take care bandsters!!!!

No I threw because I decided to chew and spit, (some did get down but I chewed the heck out of it) then after that i drank I think too much Water and it all came up. My stomach hurts today but I am able to drink and I ate some creamed Soup at lunch with no difficulty. I called the doc because i was so freaked out.. Now I am afraid to eat when I am allowed in 12 days...12 days...but whose counting? I AM!! LOL

Doc thought I would be ok just take it easy today so I am grateful. He also told me it was hard to slip the band....but that isn't what they said before!!! I thought if I sneezed too hard it would slip!! Oh...and hicuups...hurt!!:eek:

You are so right about the mashed potatoes, that's what made us fat to begin with, I would love to have some but knowing that they are one of the reasons I am in this stage in my live of being overweight. As we have said before, the lap-band is a tool, don't think it's a cure or a miracle, it's not, it is a wonderful helper indeed. I love to read this lapbandtalk.com I learn so many good things and it also helps me to be true to myself.

To create a ticker go to Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... and follow the instructions. After you have created the ticker you want highlight the BBcode they show. Then copy that. Next go to edit your signature on the www.lapbandtalk.com site. Then paste the BBcode into the signature box. That should do it. Then you can edit the ticker just by clicking on the ticker from within any of your messages.

Hi, I think it is what ever the schedule the doctor has for that week or month. Also, it has to do with the doctor and what he thinks you can handle. My doctor said I could have a fill in 3 weeks but I live out of town and choose to go back in 6 wks. This is food for thought, ha ha

good question about the fill. i was expecting mine to be about 6 weeks and it was short of 3 weeks. it has not been a problem but i may have a 2nd fill before 6 weeks. doc said to call him if i felt like i need another fill before the scheduled date of 1/14/09.

      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.
