Trouble

I was banded in March of this year. I have lost 56 lbs but I have had a lot of trouble ever since.   Problems I have are pain where my port is. Not to bad more irritating then anything but it does hurt. This is the more minor problem.   The major problems I have are with eating. It started out with carbonated drinks. KILLED ME 100 times over with only one drink. Ok so I learned not to even try those. Problem solved!   Pasta's and bread's are another thing I learned early on not to eat. Eat

Hurting Please Help

So tonight I ate dinner with the family and thought that I just maybe ate to much, even though I didnt eat much at all but here I am four almost five hours later and Im in pain. It feels like something is pinching right around the area of my port. The pain goes up and down but has stayed for these last few hours. I also just noticed that I can feel the tubing????? I guess thats what it is??? But at the end its like a big rough bump???? Im kinda freaking out here. Its 11:30 pm here and the only c

5 Weeks

I am 5 weeks out from getting banded and three weeks out from my first fill. I am really down because I have only lost 10 lbs. Well ok I had lost like 15 lbs and then gainned 5 back.   When I got my first fill it hurt??? Im not talking about the needle Im talking about when the fuild went in. Is that normal????   Also I dont feel any changes as far as the amount of food I can eat. I am trying really hard to control the amounts of food I am eating and what I am eating but old habits are real

Today Was The Day

well I am 23 days out. I had my first fill yesterday. I wasnt sure what to expect. Some say it hurts and others not so much. Anyways I went in kinda nervous but I made it. It did hurt a little. It took him a min to find it AFTER the needle was already in! OUCH!!!!   This last week I have totally felt like my old self. I have energy again, sleeping on my stomach, able to hold my daughter for awhile after she had already fallen asleep, before I felt like I couldnt breathe with her on me but not

12 Days

Well it has been 12 days since I was banded. Yesterday was a bit hard. I was hurting really bad yesterday, where the port is. Is it supposed to still be hurting this bad??? Also My doc told me to keep the port cover at all times (i still have staples in) but the bandages are killing my skin. Maybe thats why it hurts so bad???   Yesterday was my family bbq and it went great. That morning honestly being "the fat girl" I am I was sad that I would not be eating EVERYTHING that was there. I was sad

9 Days

It has been 9 days since I was banded and I am finally starting to feel like my self again!!!!   I have lost a total of 10lbs! SOOOOO happy!!!!!!!!!!!!   Its amazing how good you feel just looseing 10lbs. Its amazing how your clothes fit after looseing 10lbs. Execited to see how 20lbs will feel.   I was moved to a soft food diet on Tuesday but I am still dealing with the gas problem so Im still on liquids about 95% of my day. When I do eat I have to eat sooooooo slow it is insane.   Im a

6 Days

Six day out and Im kinda feeling worst. I feel as I did the day I got out of surgery with not being able or at least feeling as I cant or am having trouble breathing. Is this normal? Ive thought about calling my dr but....   Today is the first day to be taking care of my daughter all alone since I was banded so maybe thats why I feel so bad????   On a happier note I did get on the scale this morning and im down 8lbs. Goodness if only I had the will power to be on a iquid diet maybe I wouldnt

4 Days

It has been four days since I got banded.   Im still having alot of problems with breathing... Not that I cant breathe it just seems harder. My doctor said it was because the band was pushing on my lungs and that over time it would be back to normal. I hope his normal and my normal are the same cause this is driving me crazy.   People warned me about the gas after and boy o boy the were right. I have been in sooo much pain. Like the kind of pain that makes you want to go to the hospital. M

Day 2

I had the band put in on Tuesday and OMG I feel so awful!!!! Pain meds only help for a very short time. I feel like I cant breathe. I have so much air in my body that I cant drink but an once every few hours!!! I know it is only up hill from here but right now I feel like I have been ran over!!!! Praying for a super fast recovery.

Question

Ok So I just read thorugh some blogs and it seems as though everybody was put on a special diet at least a week before, I wasnt!   Is this going to effect anything??? My doctor did tell me to loose some weight but he only told me to loose 4 lbs! My surgery is tomorrow at 1:00p.m.and of course nothing to eat or drink after midnight but is there anything I should do between now and then.

Hours Away

So tomorrow is the day!!!! The day i get the band put on.   I have mixed emotions right now. I am sooooooooo freaking happy and excited but at the same time I have been thinking about no going through with it. I am so scared that something is going to go wrong and that I wont wake back up. This however is normal for me I HATE having surgery like Im sure most people do but Im also one of those people who always thinks the worst thing is going to happen no matter what!   I have an eight month
