I also fell off and gained 20 pounds. I lost my mom in March and kind of ate everything in sight. Then I did some soul search it and decided I did not want to return to where I started so I am on My Fitness Pal again and logging in everything. If I'm held accountable I do much better. I was banded on 11-11-12 and feel great just need to get back on track.

You can do it too!

I was wondering what the 5 day pouch test is? Also I'm wondering what the symptoms are of dumping?

Hello Sommer, I'm in Hudson falls also. I also had mine at Ellis. My Dr was Ingram.

This sounds like great idea, send me a message and ill send my info.

Hello all, it has been quite a while since I have been on this site. To be honest I had forgotten about it until now, when I need someplace to write down some thoughts. but isn't that human nature? I have my Lap Band surgery on 11/10/2011 and so far I have lost a total of 102 pounds. I am in need of a small fill but the doctor's office had two people leave and are in transition. They are trying to find new staff to fill the two vacancies. I have been within the same 2-3 pounds for the last 3 weeks and would love to lose a little more. So the next best thing to getting a fill is writing in my blog and going to the support groups for the support I need.

I was banded on Nov 10th and I get the exact same pain when 1. I have over ate 2. when I have to do a BM. Usually I can tell one from the other now but the pain is in the same spot for both. Don't know why.

I just wanted to updat eeveyone, the port area feels so much better so I am thinking it was the exercise from this past weekend.

Lean and Green is veggies and protiens.

YAY!!!!

I had surgery on 11-10-2011 and went to my post op last Monday, the doctor said I could do light cardio which I did Sat and Sun. I used my Wii and did 20 minutes each day. On Monday I had a sharp pain next to my incision area and it would only do it once in a while. This morning I got up and it feels like my port has moved down a little and now I have a little pressure in my chest area. I think this is from the port but the sharp pain is now gone. Also this morning I was very light headed and dizzy, but feel fine after I ate my breakfast. Has anyone had this with their port? thank you. Char

Well I wanted to start exercising again and my Doctor told me to start out slow. So I got the Wii Fit Plus out and did a few routines that I enjoy on there. I did 18 minutes and burned over 80 calories. I know it does not sound like much but it's a start. How is everyone's Saturday going? I did a little more xmas shopping done and only have 3 gift cards to get and some wrapping and I am done! Yay....

I find that I am also starting to get hungry towards meal time and I have increase a little on how much I eat. When I saw the Doctor last Monday he said that would happen and that means I will probably need a fill the next time I go in which will be 12/16. You are just healing and it is normal. When is your first fill?

Had a great dinner with family, since I am on mushies I took some white meat, l a little stuffing and some turkey gravy and blended it real well. I had some squash and rutabaga and some mashed potatoes. I didn't eat everything on my plate but was satisfied with what I did eat. I felt good to be able to get up away from the table with food still left on my plate and not be so stuffed that I couldn't move. Then about an hour ago we had pie, I took a small slice of chocolate pie and only ate the pudding. I am so proud of myself! How did everyone do today?
