My periods have been going crazy. I get about two a month with maybe a week and a half between. I am considering going on bc, but dont really want to. I went from having one period every 4 mths to this! I am hoping that after i lose more weight, my body will be able to fluctuate better

The carbonation stretches your pouch...if u keep drinking it over time it will stretch it. My husband had bariatric surgery, lost weight, started drinking soda again, and all the sudden could it more bc pouch was stretched. I recommend to leave it alone. Drink crystal light or freeze the soda to make a slushy so it isnt carbonated.

Here is a good article that explains the lap band perfectly: http://drsimpson.net/fills/Lap-band-eating/lap-band-not-restriction/lap-band-and-restriction.html

My work brought donuts in today and i was strong enough to resist. Then they brought the pizza....which is my ultimate weakness. I gave in and had a half of a large slice. It was so good that i cant regret it....i havnt had pizza like that in about 7 weeks! But...it was a once in a while thing and i wont make a habit of it. The important thing is long term success,...and i plan on being a goody goody forvthe rest of the week

My bra hurt me after surgery. I could only where a sports bra if anything. After about two weeks, i could wear a wire for short periods of time and now can wear it all day, no problem. I think it just had to heal and the pressure bothered it

I get what u r saying. I've lost 16 lbs and dont see it. Especially since i am just fitting BACK into my older fatty clothed. Lol. But i know we'll see it and feel it with time

That's awesome. Thx!

Is this fact or fiction? I havnt lost anything for a few weeks, but on period. Do people normally time out during their period? I appreciate your input.

So, i havent lost anything for a few weeks and im stressing. However, my period started on sunday. Do u still lose during your period or is it basically time out until after? Im really frustrated but before i call my doc i thought i'd ask.

I noticed i can eat more if it is carby and less if it is proteiny. I have cut out most carbs except fruit and the scale is moving again.... May want to try that

Sorry to hear this!

So.... Does anyone feel like they are burping like crazy all the time? I hardly ever burped pre-surgery, but im a month out and cant seem to stop! It gets very embarrasing when i'm at work!

Luckily i didnt. I was just really afraid i would, but all is welk.

So....i accidently took a wrong pill (two actually) that i thought was a different perscription.... But after i took them i noticed the different smell (yes, the pilks have a stinky smell) so i looked at the bottle and it was my metformin. The problem with metformin is that it now makes me vomit. I've been taking it for about 3 yrs but quit a few mnths ago bc they were making me so sick. Now im afraid that after not taking them for so long they will make me sick again tonight! I'm one mth post op and havnt deal w/ being sick yet and im scared! I hid the pills in the very back of my cabinet, where i thought they already were, and ate some crackers to try and ward off the stomach ache i know is coming. Sigh. Any advice?

Well, i have a desk job and live in az, so very hot right now. I dont get out much. Lol. Thinking of ways to work out indoors, but im not much of a fan. But... Ill figure it out. Thanks for the posts!
