Im at a stand still!

Well on May 8 it will be 4 months since I have been banded. I have had 2 fills the first on I got 3cc n it did not make any difference. I was still hungery.:biggrin: So I got my second fill, I got 2cc. And the first week it worked and the second week too! But now 4 weeks later im back to being hungery and able to eat anything!:thumbup: I dont let myself eat anything but it is getting harder and harder to control! :frown: As for my weight loss it has come to a STAND STILL! It has been like this for 2 weeks now! But I have lost a total of 41lbs. Cant complane about that. I just guess I thought that it would happen faster than this. I see my doc on Wed. Then I can get an appt. for my fill. I hope the third fill is the charm!:tt2: Well best of luck to everyone! yoco28:tongue2:

Got my first fill and WOW!

So I went for my first fill today and it went well. Now I had to be there at 11:45am so I got there at 11:30am and all I saw was like 6 ppl in the waiting room. So they call me back and check my vitals and then they send me back to the waiting room. I sit there for about an hour till they call me and like 15 other ppl to the back.:w00t: We r sent to this room that has shoe covers and a hair net that we must put on. So we r all just sitting there waiting for our turn to be filled. :huh2:Im sorry but it looked like the FAT FARM...lol, I could not stop laughing. :biggrin: It also reminded me of a blog I saw that was about the Dr. Suess "A star on my tummy". It was so like that....lol:biggrinjester: So im like the 6 one to get my fill. It was not bad, it did not hurt. He put in 3cc. So now all I can have is clear liquids till Monday:thumbdown:. yoco28

5 weeks post-op and HUNGERY

Well it has been 5 weeks and I feel good! Just hungery more often. I dont get my first fill till 3/2/09 and it cant come fast enough!:frown: I tried some pure protein bars and they r so good. It is almost like a candy bar:drool:. I also tried some reduced fat peanut butter in my vanilla protein shake and it was really good too. It made me so full. I need to put some in my chocolate shake. It might taste like a peanut butter cup:drool:............WOW :mad2: Sorry if I made anyone HUNGERY, but if u have a sweet tooth try it. It worked for me!:confused: Best of luck! yoco28

What is this lump?

I'm 1 month post-op. And on Sunday night I was in the bathroom looking at my incisions n like 4 inch above my lil incision on the right side i feel a fist size lump! what could this be?:eek: So I call the on-call doctor. And he says "Do u have a fever or pain there?" I said no pain n no fever. So he said to call the office on Monday morning.:confused: Well I call on Monday morning. And I speek with tons of nurses in the office n no one has ever herd of this before. n they say that it could be my herniea busted through or it could be my port. n since I have an apt. with them on Wednesday that they will see me then.:frown: So my family is freeking out:out: saying that maybe my band slipped or it came undone. So they ask me why did I not speek with the Doctor. n well he was in surgery so he could not be reached. After all the horror stories I decide to call the doctors office back n ask them to page the doctor for me. And in 5 mins the doctor calls me back. And he says no pain no fever so it just must be ur body heeling n that everyone is different. And he ask me to feel my port n make sure it did not move. And I found it. So I tell him my familys horror stories and he just laughs n says ur not gonna die today or tomorrow. (he is always joking) So he tells me that he will see me on Wednesday n he will check it out then n if i do get a fever or pain to call. So I still dont know what it is but it seems to be getting smaller. idk? I guess I have to wait till tomorrow @ 11am!:toetap05:

today i started regular foods

i am 3 weeks post-op n just started my stage 5: regular food trial.:Banane37: i seem to be ok. i only tried the carb balance wrap with some perdue short cuts turkey and onions n cheese with fat free sour cream. i could eat about 3/4 of it. n it filled me up for about 4 hours.:cheatfree: but it was so nice to try something different. it is funny how when ur eating like this. how everyone wants to go on a diet too. i mean just cause u started something now everyone must get skinner before u do. ikd? it just bugs me.:cheatfree: i guess everyone must know someone like this.....lol:wink2: since last week i started to make something that we all can eat. even though i was on soft food. but even my daughter lost 6lbs in 6 days. :laugh:my husband lost 3lbs. so i guess it is good for everyone!:iagree: best of luck to everyone!:Banane37:   yoco28

Post-op and omg!!

I GOT BANDED ON THURSDAY 1/8/09. AND I HAD TO STAY OVER NIGHT. NOW THAT WAS NOT TOO BAD. BUT WHEN I HAD TO GO HOME IT WAS SO SO COLD OUTSIDE (LIKE 25) I FELT LIKE I COULD NOT CATCH MY BREATH. AND THAT IS WHEN IT HIT ME. I KEPT ASKING MYSELF WHY WOULD U DO THIS TO UR SELF. I COULD NOT HELP IT THE PAIN WAS INTENCE N I WAS TAKING SHALLOW BREATHS N CRYING.:smile: EVEN WHEN I GOT IN THE HOUSE I WAS STILL COLD. I RAN TO TAKE SOME PAIN MED'S N SAT DOWN WITH TONS OF BLANKETS N FELL ASLEEP. BUT AS I WOKE UP ALL I COULD SAY TO MY HUSBAND WAS GO GET ME AN ELECTRIC BLANKET AND A HEATING PAD. NOW THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME.:w00t: IM NOW 3 DAYS POST-OP AND FEELING GREAT ALMOST 100%. SO JUST A LITTLE ADVICE FOR ANYONE WHO LIVES IN THE COLD STATES INVEST IN AN ELECTRIC BLANKET AND ALSO A HEATING PAD(USED IT ON MY BACK) IT HELPS WITH THE GAS TOO!! AND ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT ON THURSDAY MORNING IN THE CHATROOM BEFORE MY SURGERY!!:cool2: THANX N BEST OF LUCK! YOCO28 JOANIE
