Never eat white rice... it is the worst for carbs. I can eat very crusty bread, but not the soft parts, so no loaf bread. I can eat pasta, but I chew the heck out of it and have only had it 5 or 6 times in 13 months. Not worth it. I stick with good lean protein/meat, fish and high fiber veggies, and only sweet potatoes, with splenda, no butter.

Good, now stop worrying, it causes stress which is known to cause eating! LOL

You will be healing for at least 6-8 weeks. Don't rush things and you will be fine. It is major surgery, so expect some ongoing issues as your body heals.

Good story and attitude! I like it!

I don't think you need gimmicks with the band. Just follow your plan given you by the surgeon and nutritionist.

I tell people that I am on a high protein diet and working with a nutritionist. If the BF is serious and you trust him, tell him. He could turn out to be a big supporter.

Trust the inches!

Some of us on are here late, come back and we can keep you company. Best wishes for tomorrow, I know how excited you must be!

Maybe not... they like 1-1.5 pounds a week so 6 is right on target!

I agree with all of the above. It is the worst stage, but it will pass. We promise!

Had the same experience... not uncommon at all! You will heal fine now... but be on the watch for more... red pimply things! I hope you have just the one!

Just let em hang loose if you must!

I had the same problem, so doc just said take over bandages off and go with steri strips. I also used and anti itch cream and they cleared up just fine.

Insurance should pay if they require the test. They even payed for my tests, and I paid the surgery.

I got stuck on soft scramble eggs after my first fill!

It will get better. It is a journey, but it will get better!

Definitely talk to your surgeon a bout placement. An ounce of preparation can save you agony later one. I have been hit in my port area, it is low profile, and still was sore for two days!

I would agree that a small unfill may be order.

Same here... 5 weeks on liquids, but it is so worth the wait!

Good Luck! Think positive thoughts!

Keep up the work pre-op and you will do great!

Walking helped me

Keep up the good work Princess!

And WHAT WERE YOU DOING in your sleep?
