Yogurt is a slider. Isn't it?

I need suggestions for good healthy NON slider foods to eat for breakast. What do you all eat in the morning?

Thanks Elfie!

Is there any harm in drinking too much water in a small period of time? Can I stretch my pouch?? I feel fine but can seriously drink 8-12oz in an hour!

It was great! They numbed my belly and didnt hurt at all! I actually could feel the saline fly thru the line and around my stomach! Kinda cool. I got 4cc in a 10cc band. I'm hoping this will be the beginning of great success! Anyone know If I can eat pudding or yogurt today?

Chat!? What??? Lol. Anyone else use this site from their iPhone safari? (mobile Internet site)... I have never seen a chat... But that's awesome!

Thank you so much! Is he pretty easy going about fills? Or does he only fill when HE wants to?

Need a new doctor in the Philadelphia area. Anyone know of any really good ones?

Just had my 6 week post op appointment. My doctor told me 5 minutes before surgery that he would not fill me at this time. Turns out, he will not fill me for another 6-8 weeks. He says when he does fill me he will only put a little in to 'prime' the tubing. Then he says i will come back in another 6-8 weeks for a fill ONLY if I have lost at least a 1/2 lb a week by diet and exercise!!!! So, he wants me to somehow lose weight that I have never been able to do on my own before surgery before he is willing to help me. PLUS making me wait at least 4 months post op but maybe 5-6 months just for my first real fill. Thoughts? Anyone ever heard of this?? Can I and should I switch doctors so soon?

-heating pad -liquid Tylenol -snap in front bra with no underwire - something for nausea (my dr didn't prescribe anything)

My doctor decided to tell me 5 minutes before wheeling me back to the OR that he will see me in 6 weeks and WILL NOT fill me at that time. I'm 2 weeks post op and already know I need a fill! How many weeks did you all have to wait for a first fill?

I am 12 days post-op and am supposed to be on full liquids for another 2 days then mushies for 2 weeks. I feel great! Barely any pain at the incision so started a trial and error about 3 days ago. Unfortunatly, I can stomach just about everything I have tried. Chicken, potatoes, pizza, broccoli, apples ect. I already know I have NO restriction and now I'm just disappointed. :-(

Some people crave lemons when they have iron deficient anemia.

I'm guessing productive burp?

Mom2amwt, I just started counting calories today. I am using the loseit! App on the iPhone which told me I am allowed 1500 calories to lose 2 lb/wk. I would like to lose a little more then that so today I ate 1200 calories but I am starving! I'm hoping this gets easier. How many calories are you consuming? Are you still on liquids?

I'm 6 days post-op and starving as well. I'm on a full liquid diet for 12 days. I Too have been picking at little things my fiancé is eating and it's all going down fine. I recommend the cream of rice, it's filling and has some texture and I made it with beef broth for flavor. I made cous cous tonight and drank water with each bite and im feeling just fine! I feel like it is really hard to eat healthy when your stuck on liquids. All I want is baked chicken and broccoli with lemon!! Good luck!

I was banded 1-11-11 so I am 6 days post-op. I keep reading how people banded around the time I was are already 'working out'. My question is, how? I have no pain other then at my port site. When I walk a feel like the bouncing of my belly makes it feel worse so I hold pressure on that area so it can't bounce. I am 222lbs, so I don't think I'm all That big but I would love to work out right now. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me? I want to work out! Also, Doc says no lifting over 10lbs for 1 month. I have a 20lb dog that pulls when I walk her, bad idea?

-skinny jeans with knee high boots -leggins with just a big shirt and my uggs -tank tops/shorts -cute sundresses

Lost 5 pounds on my 5 day pre-op diet. I got banded yesterday and when I woke up this morning I gained 5.5 pounds!! Is this normal? How much does the bad itself weigh?

What is papaya enzymes?

I am 8 hours post-op! Woot!! I feel great. Scratchy throat/voice from the tube and pain when I sit or stand in my abdomen, other then that enjoying my vicodin and taking many naps. Good luck all. It really wasn't bad ( so far)

Getting banded this Tuesday 1-11-11 in southeastern PA. Dr. Doesn't usually keep overnight unless medically required. I am 24yo, perfectly healthy, just fat. My surgery is scheduled for 0800 and they are calling for a big snow storm to start early afternoon. What if I can't get home!?

I'm 1-11-11 also! Good luck! I'm sooo excited! :-)

Getting banded 1-11-11! On day 2 of pre-op diet and it's not SO bad. Started this process in September 2010. I don't think 4 months was too bad. Good luck to all!!
