  20. All day today, I was not able to keep down any liquids at all. I would take the smallest sip and I could feel it just sitting there. I was almost panicking and getting ready to call the doctor. As I was standing in the bathroom at work, looking in the mirror, I noticed my clothes were a little disheveled, so I began to straighten them up...you know...in case I had to go to ER. Well.....I adjusted my sexy VS front clasp bra and felt immediate relief. I could fill the Water going down. Apparently, my bra was hindering my ability to digest liquids today. LOL It would have been nice to discovered this early this morning instead of spending all day planning my bypass apocalypse.

  22. Thank you for the response. Yes, I am sleeping better. I am kinda blah with the liquid intake and Protein intake. It just seems a lot. I will be glad when I figure out what I can eat and not slime Also, I have been at a stall for the last two weeks.

  24. I had a lapband removal to gastric bypass surgery on the 23rd. I was released on the 24th and had to go back into the hospital on the 25th for fever. Finally, I was discharged on the 26th and since then I have not been able to sleep more than a couple of hours and have not been able to nap!!! When will this end????

  26. Has anyone ever had trouble getting a response from Lindstrom Advocacy Group? I emailed them and filled out the online contact form, but I haven't heard anything.
  27. 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!
  28. 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.
  29. 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!
  30. Second fill today...4.2cc in 10cc band
  31. I weigh everyday and unfortunately it sets the mood. However, I have to know
  32. 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.
  33. I had my first fill on Friday and I am hoping this will speed up my weight loss. I had only lost 6lbs last month and doc was not too happy with that. However, since I have been on this liquid and soft diet again, I am losing now Good Luck to everyone on their journey!!
