  1. I think you should take off a few days if you can. Just to give you a little time. You'll be sore for about a week our so. Good luck
  2. I was banded in 07. I've tried a few different protein shakes over the years. I think designer whey taste the best. I get mine from giant food store but I'm sure they sell it other places as well.
  3. I have been through what u have. With time you'll start to feel better. It will never go away just get easier to deal with. As for the band start over. Just as u just had your surgery. I was banded in 07 I lost 130lbs than got pregnant and gained back 100lbs. I was depressed and devistated. I ate how much and what I wanted. I had a prolapse and had it fixed. I started over and today at the docs I was down to 161 lbs. I started at 310. Good luck you also can do it!!!!
  4. Love my band. Down 130lbs. 6 more till my goal
  5. I agree when it's all said and done you'll laugh when you look back.you'll wonder why you did it to yourself. I was banded almost four years ago and am down 130lbs.
  6. I'm six pounds away from my goal and I also feel like I'm never gonna get there. I'm down 130lbs. But need these last six off.
  7. I didn't have that so I'm not sure what it is. When I'm doubt call your doctor. That's what he makes all that money for. Lol
  8. I wasn't hungry at all either but it will pass. I had mine in 2007 and am down 130lbs
  9. I lost lbs!!! but got pregnant and gained 100 lbs back! I just had my second surgery on Monday to fix my band. I had a prolapse, band slippage, and a hernia. I get to start over so I hope I have as much success this time around.
  10. Had my band fixed on the 28th due to a prolapse, band slippage, and a hurnia. This time is def. way worse!!!
  11. try something cold like a frozen pop.it may make it fell a little better. but just keep in mind your stomach is still not used to it and is prob. still swollen. good luck!
  12. even if you feel hungry don't overdo it! you'll feel so sick! and yes the pain is normal. I only felt pain around my port for a while to
  13. it may be from drinking to fast! slow down and take small sips!
  14. Looking for local support groups
