  1. OK this may sound gross but I would like to know! The last few days I have noticed after a BM that there is bright Red Blood on the TP. I suppose it is probably Hemroids but was wondering if this could be a indicator of band slipage?
  2. You will be good to go for the early fill! You probably will not notice much of a dif as I didn't until my forth fill!
  3. I am a Man and do 2 Flintstone chewables every morning!
  4. I avoid Pop Big time after I went and tried it a few times!! It had me blowing busters like crazy!!
  5. I was banded in june 2011 and had just a couple PB episodes in July and no more until this last fill that happens to be my fourth fill. 9.2 cc in a 14 cc band! I even had a PB episode with water
  6. Yep I had surgery on Thursday and left around noon on friday and drove myself home.
  7. My Exwife explaned it good to me after she lost weight from gastric bypass surgery 13 years ago. She said she will always be a fat person and she sees herself as such. She said that she still dreamed about all the foods she enjoyed she aslo said when she looked in the mirror she still saw the fat woman in herself. Now that I have gone through this Lap Band I understand where she came from cause I see it somewhat the same way! As did She I get compliments all the time but I just don't see it!
  8. I drove home right from the Hospital!
  9. My Dr. makes everybody spend the night and am not allowed to even drink water. Also the Aides woke us up every couple of hours and made us walk around the floor for 15 minutes!

    it is said that beer is a no no and I have drank a few since being banded! It really fills you up faster and gives me extreme gas! I do drink regular and have found that Vodka water with a sqeeze of lemon seems to be the best but, you will also get drunk way faster. I was a heavy beer drinker and could sit 8-12 hours drinking but now I can't drink more than 3 or 4 vodkas and I am definantly drunk!
  11. Interesting! I was banded on 30 June 2011 and have noticed an extreme difference with my drive. I am 50 and back out on the dating scene and have been with a nice gal for a couple weeks! I know she gets hers but if I get mine it is a very small amount!! I am down around 70 lbs so far. The tool works fine just not the product!
  12. Very Normal, I can even feel mine, Maybe it was sticked closer to my skin! Now I rub it all the time!! LOL Kinda like rubbing a Buddah belly for good luck
  13. I had gotten the Unjury Chicken Soup flavor protein powder, and blended it with veggies
  14. I ordered an unflavored Protein powder on line from a company called unjury, I then mixxed the powder with crystal light or fat free Jello the product came in 3 days http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/
  15. You should be just fine! I drink Beer once in a while and it only give me a case of Blowing Alot more Busters than usual

  17. I was Banded 30 Jun and lost 70 bs so far
  18. HAHAHAHA!! Ain't nothing like Blowing them Busters!! I can't even make them silent anymore!!
  19. I now weigh in every day as advised by the Doctor! I had went for my last fill and gained 2 lbs and she asked me if I weigh in? I said I do not as I donot want to be obsessed by it! She said weigh in every day! Well I don't have a scale at home so I weigh on a product scale at work and subtract the weight of close and boots!
  20. After going through a Divorce I have been drinking Steady for about 3 months. I nrmally Drink Vodka Water with a Squeeze of Lemon. But I am a very cheap date! Beer Makes me have gas so I do not do that anymore!
  21. That is right! I had to do a sleep study and a EndoScopy to asure that I did have Sleep Apnea and Gird! and then was approved 1st time! But I was also over 100lbs over weight.
