  1. Happy 42nd Birthday ButterflyM!

  2. Happy 41st Birthday ButterflyM!

  3. I am 9.5 weeks post of, and things are going very well- LOVING my BAND! I have only one question: WHERE IS ALL THIS DARN GAS COMING FROM???? And I mean the kind you expell! I just don't understand why or where it is originating from. i am not drinking from a straw & I do not take in air when i eat. It is loud, sometimes frequent intervals, & excuse me but sometimes very smelly! I just want some answers. Thanks for all your input.

    food tastes weird

    I'm not sure why this happens or what it is related to, but immediately after I had my band, I could NOT tolerate sweet stuff! The same shakes I was drinking 2 days prior made me gag! I am now 6 weeks post op and I still don't like certain things that I liked b4 surgery. Good Luck!!
  5. I am just reading about band slips and I am very concerned about doing whatever I can to prevent this. Any and all replies are welcome. Today I am month post op and ready to work with this band as best I can! Thanks
  6. I have to STOP getting on the scale! I am loosing more inches than lbs. Im happy as long as I am loosing something!

  7. Cant figure out the passcode to my ticker to save my life!! Think i will have to redo it ARG!!!

  8. I have been a lazy bandster with posting! lol I have been adjusting to this band slowly but surely!! Today I am 1 month post op and ready for a fill!!! I go Sept 8 for 2nd follow up and Praying for a fill on the 9th!! I dont have any restriction ( don't ask me how i know lol) So i am all healed up and ready for a little fill. I have been walking my butt off!! 4- 5 x a week! have a good w/e!

  9. Hi, how are you? Are you newly banded too? I was on 7/13/11. So far, so good. Would like to talk to you sometime, if you would like. Just send me a message. Have a great day.

  10. I haven't been on in awhile, I was wondering how you been? Hopefully healed from surgery and feeling good!!!!

    vacation fill?

    I also would have said wait until after vacation- but for different reasons. I have read that when on an airplane that can cause restriction in your band, so I would say wait just to be safe that you are not SICK while on your vacation. Hope you had a good time! From reading your stats, sounds like you are loosing at a very good rate!

    Holy COW!

    You will do just fine! Wishing much luck to you! Just remember to sip sip sip post op so you get your fluids in!
  13. You sound like u r doing quite well! It sounds like you have it down pack! As long as your r exercising your weight loss will be moving right along. I don't have any fluid in my band right now so I just have to follow the diet plan and exercise. Will be getting a fill in the beginning of Sept. Good luck to you!

    Isopure protein drink

    btw Isopure Alpine punch is good also. You also have to have 2 cups of milk a day on that diet.

    Isopure protein drink

    Does your Dr have a diet plan that he uses? if not do you have a nutritionist at your Surgeon's office? Either of them should be able to guide you.. My Dr. had us do 4 shakes a day and 1 cup of raw veggies with fatfree vinegarette dressing. Unlimited diet tea, broth, sugar free popsicles and lots of water, sf jello. Hope this helps good luck to you.
