i go every two weeks

I had my fill in Sept 2011 and i had my fourth fill Monday. all the other fills do not feel like this. I finally feel i have restrictions in my stomach. I ate last night and got really sick. I was embrassed for being sick but now i feel i can gauge how much i can really eat. the last three fills were not like this. I did ask for the Doctor to put more in. i have lost 35lbs so far. My goal is 100.. My B-day is 2/14 and I hope to be in a size 12 jeans. i started at an 16/18..now in 14.. the best part for me is I dont look 6 months PG. I had my last kid 9years ago!! So here is a question I have.. Has anyone had these experience with the 4th fill?

I too am Bi-Polar... Had the band in Sept 2011.. I was freaking on my meds too.. But i dont understand why you had to get off of Seraqual? i just melted my hugh pills in a little warm Water and down it goes. I take three different pills a day. I would ask why is it necessary for u to go off the meds for a lap band?. You should never ever go off cold turkey. You have to be winged off slowly. I got violently ill one time when a so called doctor said i should. Never saw him again. I too am a mom of three and work full time.. (suoppse to be working now) lol So be strong.. And remember Doctors arent god. They are not the know alls .. Its your body...

i was banded 9/21/11 i have lost 40 pounds.. I have had a fill twice. i feel like i can eat more now.. havent lost since before Thanskgiving. i didnt over indulge except for some pie.. But Ive been doing everything right it seems. Im gettin my third fill on Saturday. i think i need to have more in my fill. does anyone had to ask for a few more CC's?

Well i got banded two weeks ago today.. Im on regular food now.. Which is a problem already.. Last night i had 2 eggs, 2 frozen waffles and a handful of chips. got a bad tummy ache.. Im so afraid i cant stop the bad habits.. I drink my breakfast and lunch and im going crazy when i hit the door. Anybody have the same problem? does it get better when you get banded? i dont puke as of yet. Will that change once i get banded? Helpppppp

Ouch... that hurt.. But your right... i want this bad.. So i gotta do the right things..

Ok so this is my second weekend without soild food. i did eat a peice of toast last night. Felt guitly as heck..Stomach hurts today.. wonder why.. LOL liquid diet stage still.. I havent gotten sick.. havent pushed the limits.. am I only only one who gets on the scale everyday? Also i see everyone got the tickerfactory.com tickers on their profile. How do you get it from the page to profile. i cut and paste like it says been then nothing happens... Have a ROCKIN day!!! FRIDAYYYYY

THEY DIDNT GIVE ME ANYTHING. bUT WHEN I GOT IN THE SURGERY ROOM. I REMEMBER GETTING ON THE BED AND THEN I WAS OUT.. sO THERE WAS NO TIME TO BE SCARED.. LOL.. R U STAYING IN THE HOSPTIAL? OR OUT SURGERY?

yOU CAN EAT 100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD IN SMALL QTYS.. BECASUE IT WILL GUM UP AND BLOCK THE HOLE.. HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL TODAY!! WELCOME TO THE CLUB..

i HAVE B-POLAR AND IT WAS VERY HARD THE FIRST FEW DAYS. YOU WILL BE SORE AND YOU WILL PANIC SOMEWHAT CAUSE YOUR GONNA ASK YOURSELF " WHY DID I DO THIS". bUT AFTER A FEW DAYS THE REALITY IS WE DO THIS SO WE CAN BE HAPPIER AND HEATHLY AND LOOK GOOD IN OUR JEANS.. ;.) GOOD LUK AND WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YA.. I WAS BANDED LAST WEEK.. AND IM STILL HERE!!!

OMG u took the words right out of my mouth.. Work is hard.. After work i smell everything!! KFC is the hardest... Im having a hard day today with food.. I want to eat so bad but im only 1 wk 2 days into this thing.. My stomach is just like an ache right now... lots of gas.. Did anyone else start pureed food early?

i had surgery on 9/21 and after the pre-diet two week mark that would make 24 pounds.. 75 more to go!!! How do you get through the tough smells of food.. Eating out ECT,

Im now in the thicker liquid stage.. And im finding it to be a bland thing. ive ever been a good cook. So any ideas?? any suggestions? plse help!!! ;.)

well its been a hard week... i was upset to see that some said it was the "easy way out". this is the hardest thing ive had to do.. learn how to eat!!! We are program to eat.. And some of us just know to eat bad or too much.. My family loves food. im the only one with the weight problem.. go figure.. Before kids i was skinner than any of them.. Life throws us curves and like any addiction mine happens to be food. Does a person who is a drug addict go to Rehad taking the easy way out? To all my Band bloggers!!! Have a Rockin Day!!!

good morning... One week down... lost 12 pounds.. been very emotional.. Food is calling me and i know i cant eat it... this is hard. But im determined to make it work and learn the right way to eat.

i had my surgery on 9/21. 6 days in... 1st two days were painful and emotional. But by day 3 I was getting better and by the 5th day i felt good enough to come back to work. Ive lost 24 pounds in three weeks. Im really excited to be able to cross my legs, wear some of my old clothes that havent fit in a minute and to just be happy.. Want my family to be proud of my sucess. I think it will help me be more confident in work and in my home life.. So to all my new lap band family i say " GOOD JOB" to all of us..<BR><BR>God Bless

i told some co-workers and of course my family. no real negitive comments. The ones before the band were the hard ones.. Got banded on 9/21. Will be a week tommorow. Havent ate anything solid. But i did go back to my instant carnation breakfast 8 oz twice a day. can anyone tell me how their first meal went and when it was?
