I to have the same trouble if I wait two long to eat, some times drinking water will help, I'm thinking its heart burn ??

Hello again, I wanted to tell you sorry for your loss, I had the samething happen to me also, the first thing you need to do is to give yourselve time to grieve. Second you need to give your body a chance to recover form all the hormones. which usually takes about 2-3months, but what can help is excercise. Sorry again

Renee, hello first i want to tell u sorry about your loss.

Thanks thats what i needed, I was banded in 8-11 and i have a 3 fills now 4.25mls in and it seems the first 2-3weeks i really can not eat anything to much or i will up chuck. but after 3-4weeks after my fill i can eat much more and not always the good choices eather, but made another appt with my doctor, but not real sure if i need a fill or not? And I hate going to the doctors office and tell them what i really do, Just wish I could make better choices. I NEED A BRAIN BAND Please Help

So need to know, does carbination make ur stomach streach and what else causes problems

So, I was banded in April, and Im feeling good i have had a couple of fills now and have lossed about 20pounds. I think i have about 5cc in now but it seems that i still can eat a fairly large amount. does anyone else having this trouble or do i have a large stomach ?

Thanks love the Dixie plate and pickle fork idea

So I was thinking of before and after surgery. I was banded on 4-26-11, so I have had 1 fill, and have lossed ten pounds. But eating is the most difficult thing for me, I guess i like the feeling of being full. So does anyone think , if they had someone come out to there house and cleaned out what you can eat and what u cant. maybe teach u about portions on ur own plates. or even help with a excerising program would that u think might help.. please reply thanks you

So I had my 1st fill, and I can still eat alot, and I have only lost 10lbs sience my surgury 4-26-11, guess i need a diet plan can anyone help, plus i do exercise 5 days a week , need help !! please

sounds like pain from ur port, due to where it is stiched at . quote name='Robin3' timestamp='1306287552' post='1617805'] Day 34.... I did think I would be further along, but I am feeling good anyway. I lost 10 lbs the first week. Since then, only an additional 3lbs. Today my pants felt a little looser. Others say I look great, but I can't imagine that I look much different... I am walking every day. Monday- Thursday I have a walking buddy at work. We walk pretty quickly for about 20 minutes. Plus I get short walks in throughout the day. I feel like I am eating SO much less than before surgery. I still need to work on better choices. I woke up this morning with a sharp pain on my RIGHT side- a couple inches right of my midline. The pain has been pretty constant all day. Any thoughts? Could be totally unrelated to surgery I suppose! -Robin

HI Ashley, I was confused also, i was banded on 4/26 so your on full liquids. so what I did was get some protein drinks, make sure of the sugar and calorie,fat content is low and protien is high. drink those for your meals and also u can add some cream soups. (not chunky soups). The drs office told me not to worry so much about restricting yourself but to make sure you get what your body needs to heal, which is protein and vit C and lots of fluids

Bandster Hell well thats great, i was wondering what that was Thanks

HI, Im a 4-26-11 bander, and starting eating whole foods, but it seems i can eat alot, almost the same as before i was banded. My question is can you streach out your pouch? i have not had any fills. Thanks

thanks for answering

So I was banded on 4/26, lost a total of 10 pounds, but im having diarrhea and stomach growls alot. I had trouble with the mushy part of the diet and started to eat regular food. im not having any pain and feel great. but concerned about the other Help!
