I am 9 months po and am starting to have some problems. I have had great progress and still losing but some days I can't eat anything but soup without vomitting. Good luck!

I do miss eating foods like bread and french fries. However, I like feeling good and being able to walk with out becoming short of breath or having to go to speciality stores to buy clothes.

I know exactly how you feel. A week before my period I do not even think I have lap band, I can eat like crazy and then I feel so bad!

Second fill today...4.2cc in 10cc band

I weigh everyday and unfortunately it sets the mood. However, I have to know

Good luck to all!!!

I have pain on the left side on and off. Generally, it is about a week before my period, so I think that has something to do with it for me.

I am so glad that I clicked on this post. I was going to post a question regarding the runny nose issue, but I thought everyone would think I was CRAZY. It is so good to know I am not the only one!!!

Thanks for the responses! I have a fill scheduled for Friday so we will see how that goes

Okay, so I was banded on August 22nd, 2011 and I have had no fills due to continuously losing weight. However, it is only approx. two pounds a week.....until this month....I am starving and feel like I could eat my shoe if I could figure out a way to get it past the band. I am eating about 900 calories/day....approx. 75-80g protein and I am drinking water or Crystal light continuously and walking 2 miles/5x week. At first I thought....PMS (you B*t*H) but I can't even blame that any longer. Do I just need a fill? I'm sooo pissed I have gained back a pound this week and it is my first gain since the band!!!! Any suggestions????

Way to go!!

Congrats!!!

Way to GO!!!!

Hey Texasbandit- I used Dr. Victor Gonzalez in Dallas at the Center for Obesity Surgery. I had surgery at the new Forest Park Medical Center. I love Dr. G and have been doing really well, except for the lack of energy. I have my first fill scheduled for October 28th. I can tell that I have been eating larger portions and do not want to start gaining. Have you had a fill yet? Cat

I had surgery on 8/22 and I still do not have a lot of energy. The doctor keeps pushing protein but it is hard to get all that protein and stay under 800 calories. Good Luck!!
