Yes, my mushies also had fish on it and i ate it like crazy...

wow that's awesome....can you share some info with us plz...Like what are you eating and are you exercising?

I itched like crazy also, but my incisions had gotten really red and were HOT to the touch, but this was a few days after my surgery. Had to go back in to dr and he said i was allergic to the glue they used to close my incisions..So he had to remove the clue and put me on a oral steroid to stop the reaction....it was aweful...

Hey fluff, there is a topic on setting up your ticker, just do a search and it will walk you thru step by step...

I think the special K shakes have too much sugar...i use the EAS and i love them

ROFLOL.....WOW THAT'S IT???? I was scared for nothing...I felt nothing at all...he sprayed this really cold numbing stuff on my stomach and then he said "see, that didn't hurt now did it?" I was shocked b/c I didn't even know he had stuck the needle in. I mean i felt NOTHING>>>>no pinch, no sting, nothing....yea me...and he put in 3/12 cc's, sure hope i feel something...if not i go back in a month for more...the worst part is now i'm back on liquids for 2 days..that sucks.....

We shall see, I hope u r right. Nurse just layed out all kinds of instruments. What have I gotten myself into. Smh

Ok so here I am sitting in drs office waiting on 1st fill. I'm terrified!! I hope this doesn't hurt too bad, I hopes do t scream too loud, and what if I cry? I will try not to look, maybe that will help. Lord Jesus help me

i was banded 12/16 and i too will get my first fill on wednesday, and I can't wait..I'm hungry as hell !!!! hoping that my fill will help with that, keeping my fingers crossed...

I was banded on 12/16 and was extremely tired as well..I still get tired mid day at work where I fell that if i blink to long i will fall asleep. I've been taking my vitamins, but i do believe that when i go in next week for my first fill i will have them give me a B12 injection.

hi there, i too had a hernia but dr repaired it when i was banded on 12/16...I wish you luck on your journey. I've read your other post about your depression and abusive relationship, and I pray that you pick yourself up and move forward and NEVER look back. You are a beautiful young lady and I know that you can do this....I would be happy to be your lapband friend, so let's keep in touch...

So glad to see that i'm not the only one who hasn't lost anything once i started mushies...I was beginning to get depressed about it, but guess it's the norm....Good luck to all of you, i have my 1st fill on 1/18 and I hope that i feel some restriction afterwards....

I so feel your pain...yesterday was 4 weeks post op and i felt and still feel the same way....HUNGRY...I go for my 1st fill on Wednesday and I pray that I feel some kind of restriction...i wasn't suppose to start mushies until day 14 but when i went to my post op apt on day 12 i asked my Dr could i move on to mushies and he said yes...I was sooooo happy to eat those eggs and fish, that was the best damn egg I had ever eaten..Hang in there and try to stay away from the ice cream...

congrats

congrats to you!!! you are so funny, i look forward to reading your post...

4cc's?? wow seems like a lot...i have my first fill on the 18th, can't wait. Glad to know it's not painful...

OMG!!! i too am burping ALOT...they are massive, so massive my husband is like "what the what?"

congrats to you and wish you the best of luck....

that is truly AWESOME!!! Congrats to the both of you.....I'm so jealous

I was banded on 12/16, i took Colace, it helped

Just got back from my post op visit...was banded 12 days ago and now dr said i can start eating mushies..Bananas, beans, fish, baked sweet potatoes and eggs..i'm so excited. when i got home my hubby had boiled some eggs and i ate one, that was the best darn egg I ever tasted..lol. I never had to puree food, thank God, i was just on full liquids, like creamy soups and protein shakes...I go for my first fill on 1/18th and i'm already nervous

Hi Carol, I too am 12 days post op, so congrats to you! I'm so sorry to hear about your depression, and like the others stated, plz call your dr. I couldn't imagine falling in love with my ex husband again, if that happened i think i would call 911...(smile) We can be band buddies if you like..

Just wanted to check in, feeling so much better today, can't wait to go to the dr tomorrow for my post op. I'm hoping he tells me i can have soft foods. I'm so sick of protein shakes I could kick someone. i've been trying to fill my port but i can't seem to find it, i'm beginning to wonder if dr really did put the band in..lol..I will come back tomorrow to post my weight loss. I hope that all my Dec bandsters are doing well...

I was banded on 12/16 and 2 days later all of my incision sites were fire red and itching like crazy. I also had little red bumps all over my stomach. Went to the dr, and he said i was having an allergic reaction to the glue. He removed the glue and wrote me a script for a steroid, just finished taking my last pill and all the redness and itching is now gone...I also used Benedryl cream.
