I battle the scale every day! Why i even get on the darn thing I don't know! This last weekend i was up about 4 lbs and I was/am disgusted but come friday I will be right where I started. I have plenty of restriction and eat very small healthy portions. With a loss of over 80lbs in a little over a year the doc says I am doing good

Well Yes Atomic Pony. We could call it the Energizer d**k but that wouldn't be fair to the Dildo family!! LOL

Sure if you blend them!!

As long as my Babe is riding my Atomic Pony its awake!

Please don't second guess yourself. I can say It was the best decision that I ever made for "me". Oh I only have 3 small scars.

2 Flintstone chewables daily!

Yes, for 2 whole weeks! Remember its a tool not a cure!

What does NSV stand for?

Walk, walk, walk and you will start blowing Busters to get that gas out!!

I did a little cheat one time but started the preop diet 3 weeks prior and still ended up losing 23 lb

WOW I have had five fills with no Problem and I leave early as they want you to wait 5 minutes bfore you leave! Hope you didn't get hurt!

Weird! I was on Liquids for 2 weeks after surgery. Mushy foods can be pretty much anything that you can blend down. I personally like soup so for my mushy stage I did mostly soup, greek yogurt is good for breakfast, I tried to blend a steak but it just wasn't appealing to me. I did like doing mashed potatos and I would mix chicken soup flavored protein powder in it and cottage cheese with anything mixxed for flavor. Just try to do mostly high protein foods, Good Luck

at first it was 4 days for me I then went back to work for 1 day and stayed home for another couple days and then it was all gone!

And I thought I was going to Lose 150 lb in a month LOL

I eat pretty much what ever I want. During that time a month after surgery it was a big learning process on what i could and couldn't eat. I actually went out and had a Ribeye steak but of course could only eat 4 or 5 bites of the meat and a bite or 2 of veggies! Like I said in all a learnig process! Good Luck!

Sorry to hear that! I have been banded for over a year and its the best thing I have done for myself! No problems at all!! But thats not saying Ithat next week there won't be a problem. I wish you the best on your Journey!

Because I was wearing a tight 46 pants and I couln't bend over to tie my shoes without holding my breath!

83 lbs yoohoo!!

I completly understand what you are gouing through it was a 2 yr decision for me and I was even approved twice during that time! I am very happy that I went through it. June 30 was my 1 yr anniversary and am down over 80 lbs! Good Luck!

June 30th was one full year for me! 83bs down!!

Mine is to the left and above my belly button

My Bad!! LOL Guess you can't hear a tone of voice in written words!!

All I know is mine is a 14cc band, and I have heard of 10cc bands

Well don't read it then!!

Mine is the same way! It sticks out about half a golf ball, I have been able to feel it since surgery as well as the tube and on the fill port I can feel the target area!
