Entries in this blog

How do you know??

I have so many How do you know questions. I was banded 1-11-11. I lost 11 lbs in 4 days manly because I was to tight. I couldn't get much down without pain. Went to the doctor and had all fluid taken out of band. I had my first fill on 2-23-2011 4cc in a 10cc band. At first I could eat anything and no problem now a few weeks out I've had quite a few episodes with food getting stuck and have thrown up 2 times.   MOST times I can eat alot more than 1/2 a cup.. Do I need a FILL??   How

My Port side is still really sore.....

I'm 4 weeks out from surgery and my port area is still really sore. I cant sleep on my side or stomach it is just to painful. I even notice that if my pants get to close and rub it is very irritating. Has anyone notices this? My husband and I were banded on the same day 1-11-11 and he doesn't have pain at his port site. I loss 12 lbs the first week and nothing since then. I started this week drinking alot more fluids to see if that may help since I know I wasn't getting in the 64 oz which

10 days since band and I need a fill.....

Yes I'm the one that was complaining last week I couldn't get anything down... Now I can get anything and everything down and I'm having a hard time trying not to eat. I'm on the mushy food stage now. I never feel like I'm full. I'm making good choices in the food area but I have gained back 4 of the 11 lbs I lost last week. I'm stitting at my desk eating cottage cheese and ground up pneapple about 1 cup. I go to the doctor next week but I dont think he will give me a fill since he had to t

BEWARE - Banded 1-11-11 and had to much saline.

Not been able to drink anything without PAIN. I did have to break down and call the doctor again today. He met me in the office on a Sunday which is hard to believe... My band was way to tight, he took out 4 cc of my 10 cc band. When they but the band on I thought it was empty for a 6 weeks but Dr. T told me that he always add a little but that was a lot... He was a little shocked that he got out 4 cc and he said that there was probably more. Well since then I have been able to drink water and

4 days since surgery and still gurgling???

Surgery was Tuesday. I have to admit for me the pain was rough. Walking does make it better. I did have a Hiatal Hernia that the doctor fixed so maybe that is some of the pain. I find that I'm having a hard time drinking. Liquids just kind of sit there and gurgles for a few minutes. Then the pain comes, gas I think if I belch which is hard that makes pain go away. I tried a popsicle and that goes down alot better. Any suggestions?

Well Tommorrow is the BIG day.

Jan 11th has finally come. I will be banded along with my husband tommorrow . I have to say the last week has been very hard. The protein pre-surgery shakes have left me hungry all the time. I stayed with the process only giving in to temptation a few times. I gained weight which is hard to believe but the boost protein are alot of calories and you have to drink 4 plus a dinner. If I had it over I think I would have eaten lunch instead. I hope the hunger pains aren't like this after the ba

Day 4 of Pre diet YUK..

Day 4 of the Boost 4 times a day and light dinner. Day 1 and 2 weren't as bad as 3 and 4 and I have 4 more days to go till surgery. My doctor didn't make it mandatory but I didn't want to wake up and not have been banded due to fatty liver. Any suggestions on how to get thru 4 more days? I find that something is making me nauseous, all the protein or lack of food. I have had to nibble on a cracker to get over the nausea. I'm doing this banding with my husband so he is on the same boost and

My Husband and I will both be Banded 1/11/11....

This is my first blog.. I have been on several times reading and learning. My husband and I are both getting banded together on 1/11/11. I have so many questions on what to do and not to but that will take all day. I get so many conflicting answers on how many days liquid to puree to solids. Hope someone has some really good suggestions. I'm not much on exercise my life is just so bussssy. I'm hoping to be able to lose weight just being banded and watching everything I put in my mouth.
