Meduseld got a reaction from amponder in Chewing Gum After Lap Band Surgery?
I chew gum sometimes. I've never had any negative side effects...
I think doctors are just worried about swallowing air. But I figure as long as you're not like... huffing air, there shouldn't be a problem.

Meduseld got a reaction from TKW in Carbonated Drinks???
Shoot me now, but Coca Cola is my weakness. I drink it probably once every other day. If there's no ice, it makes me really gassy. I have to bite some of the carbonation out in my mouth. However, if it's on ice, it helps Water down the carbonation and makes it really good!
Hasn't affected my band so far, and last time the Dr. checked (had another surgery), my band was A-OK.
I think it may depend on the person. I'm not doing too shabby. Lost 109 so far!

I am so happy! I can't believe it!!! Last night I fit into jeans from my sophomore year of high school and AH. It's so exciting. I'm on Cloud 9 right now!

I know you're asking pre-bandsters, but just so you know...
At least for me, getting stuck is a rare incident. It did take a while for me to get used to chewing everything fully and really making sure that it will go down through the band. Sure, it does suck, especially the first time, but I promise it's not something that will make your life miserable all the time. You'll know when it happens and you just need to relax and realize you're not going to die. That's the best way to get whatever's stuck out. Very few incidences involve actually having to go to the doctor, so please don't worry about that.
Don't be scared. There are always a few drawbacks, but the benefits are so much more powerful than any few "stuck" episodes!

Thank you guys so much! It really was SO frustrating! For weeks I was so close to hitting it. Like within 3 pounds. My body just kinda knew it, liked where it was at, and refused to move. But now I hit it and I'm so excited!
Phew! Those Pandora bracelets are expensive. I'm a poor college student. I'll have to find something. Any ideas?
Definitely. I look like crap more than 90 percent of the time because all of my clothes are HUGE on me. I have worn holes in the bottom of my two pairs of jeans (besides the ones I rediscovered) because my huge butt and thighs no longer filled the space, so they dragged. It's bad. However, once I hit a place that I think I'm going to stay for a good while, it's SHOPPING SPREE time!!!

Meduseld got a reaction from Allison0927 in Is A 5 Pound Gain Possible?
I also always find that my doctor's scale is 5 pounds heavier than my home scale and that all doctors' scales weigh differently. I can't get a consistant weight on two scales if you paid me. I think it's a conspiracy. Just use one scale, your home one most likely, and stick with that.
I wouldn't worry about it. I've "gained" 5 pounds in a day from eating bad things. It usually comes off real fast. Just get back on track, and it should come off real fast.

Meduseld got a reaction from Holly Dolly in I'm Sick And Tired Of...
That's so awesome! I'm about to turn 19, but I got my surgery at 18, exact same height, and only ten pounds lighter than you. Just look at me now! Almost 100 pounds down since April 25. Just do what the doctor says, and you're doing to do great! We're young. We have higher metabolisms on our side!
I was/am sick and tired of:
- Being scared at social events when someone looked at me. I always thought they were talking about me.
- Being scared to eat in front of my friends and family.
- Being disgusted every time I looked at a picture of myself.
- Going to school and being known as the "fat" Elizabeth. They never confused me with the other ones...

Meduseld got a reaction from therealme89 in Any Teens On Here?!
I'm 18 right now, 19 on March 24. I had the band on April 25, one month after I turned 18, and have since lost 95 pounds. It's fantastic and one of the greatest decisions of my life! If you need any advice or anything, you definitely let me know!
