Swelling after surgery
CHEZNOEL replied to Startingover2012new's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will get better... too soon to panic! -
I hate to be nasty, but here goes... if you don't have time to eat how did you get heavy enough to need the surgery, just saying! Plan ahead... it is a new lifestyle and you can't just grab anything anymore. It is lifestyle change, not a choker collar.

Yep... need nausea meds... sure beats throwing up! and sip sip sip! It will get better I promise!

Scrambled eggs are fine... it is just that you have to focus on bite size. Same with chicken. If it is too big and you don't chew enough it can be a problem. Yes ladies, even scrambled eggs need to be chewed!

As the surgery fades in out memory, it is easy to get sloppy about portion sizes and chewing and tracking EVERYTHING we eat. A small fill may help, but only if you focus as hard as you did at the start!

Donna... well it is out now so you should have smooth sailing ahead. Just give yourself time to recover. -
What is normal eating after a few fills?
CHEZNOEL replied to jocollects's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Only your doctor can answer this question. Keep at him until you are satisfied that he has heard you and given you an answer you understand. -
Hope you feel better soon, if not, talk to you surgeon.

Filled at time of surgery??
CHEZNOEL replied to Ruqui's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This varies by doctor. You've got to trust he knows what he is doing. -
Keep on them, you have a lot invested! Don't give up!
-
Keep typing, you can't eat when your hands are busy!
-
Hang in there... we all went through it! If we didn't like to eat, we would not be here!
-
Perfectly normal dear... just don't let it throw you off course. You will be banded before you know it! Welcome!

Great work. We are all proud of you!

Lapband Just Did Not Work For Me
CHEZNOEL replied to womanof1000secrets's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I agree... new doctor! -
Lots of reading and learning. Find out as much as possible about the procedure before surgery!

Am I Doing Something Wrong Or Just Lucky?
CHEZNOEL replied to jrockwood's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The fills do not do all the work! A good friend has lost over 80 lbs in 6 months with no fill! -
They made me walk around the room with my needle sticking out for the fluoro!

It sounds like you!

Feeling Down After Surgery!!!
CHEZNOEL replied to lalinda1236's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Depression after surgery is not at all unusual. Plus pre-op you were psyched about just getting there. Now the work begins. Allow yourself time to heal both mentally and physically. And tell the family to eat in another room or at a different time for a while. Just say hey... I need your help! -
Big Book Of Lap-Band ... Major Oversight
CHEZNOEL replied to WannaBeFFK's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Go back to the basics and follow them. If you still have head hunger issues, you have two choices, live with them an d continue to struggle or get professional help with the underlying issues. I can say that because I have had to follow my own advice! -

Yep... but you know what, it is your exercise time, not theirs so they can just butt out! You are there to make a better person of yourself, not them!

Great words!
