    I was reflecting on my eating ... I am now on the puree stage (banded Sept 15 2011 - no fills) - I realized that I am not limiting my intake to the 1 cup per meal suggested by my surgeon - I normally have 2 cups. I limit my intake to about 1000 cals per day ... I am wondering if the extra cup of food is expanding my pouch. Are we suppose to limit our intake on the puree stage?

    Hi Everyone, 3 weeks post op and I am feeling pretty good. I am addicted to chewing gum - my doctor told me to avoid it because 1) it causes gas and 2) swallowing gum is bad and can get stuck. Well, at 49 I know better! I stopped swallowing gum as a child or so I thought! Yup, I swallowed a gum yesterday - so far, besides feeling stupid - I feel fine. I guess since I don't have a fill the gum must have just slipped through. Just thought I'd share! Happy Friday everyone.

    Lucky you .. I have 4 more days of liquid -- then 3 weeks of mushies - so it's 6 weeks post op before I get to eat again. Seems like a real long time!

    I was banded on the 15th - I am still on liquids and my weight loss has also stalled ... every day I either go up or down the same 1/2 lbs ... I think its best if we weigh ourselves on a weekly basis ... Glad to hear I am not alone ... You've lost 14lbs - Keep up the great work ... the weight will go down.

    Sleeping Positions

    I sleep on my side also - 3 days post-op - I slept on my side hugging a soft pillow (really helped)

    I have been reading that lots of people are feeling pain at or near their Port (as far as 2 months out) - the problem I have is I don't know where my port is ... I feel the extact same pain that you describe at the largest incision located about 2 inches right above my belly button. Can this be the location of my port? (I thought that most ports are located on the left hand side below the belly button). Just wondering if the placement of the port is dependant on Doctors preference.

Thanks for all your feed back
  11. Hi Guys, I got my lap band on Sept 15 - I felt great up to now ... however last night I started feeling muscular type pains in my stomach (at the top center incision area) everytime I move - this may have been caused from me moving too quickly. I am wondering if anyone has felt similar type pains.
