It is quite normal, and everyone banded that I know also gained once they went on real food, the loss comes after you get adjustments to your band. Relax it will get better.

Wow it is wonderful to be off the meds!!

That is just wonderful!!! Congrats

It will get better! It does take time to heal. I was so dumb about the whole thing, I thought it was just gonna be a minor deal! It wasn't.

Saturday was a bad one for me, I ate 600 calories worth of M&Ms!! Crazy!! I am back on track and I hope I dont do that again.

That is wonderful news! This is the beginning of a new way of life for you. I hope it happens soon!!

It is ok yall it is from the stitching from the inside. I had it for months, when the surgeon saw it he just clipped it off.

i had an experience just like that, but in a resturant!! Me and hubby went for dinner, and I wanted to try just one margarita, before my meal because I dont drink and eat at the same time. Well I tried to drink it too fast and I was zonkered!! It was over with as fast as it started but I was sick and sweating and out of it!! Yikes, now I drink very little and very slow!!

I would be careful of the sweet potatoes too they are very fibery

There are a lot of ways to handle the emotional aspect I google and read everything I can get my hands on. I find other things to keep me busy. I am not a giant success, I need another fill too! I have had two and am chomping at the bit to get the next one. I am stuck at a certain weight and some days it goes up one and I nearly have a fit. I am so afraid to fail at this too, but everyone says it will get better when we are adjusted to where we need to be. I say give it time and dont beat yourself up this is considered banster hell. Good luck and stay in touch. We can do this!!

mashed potatoes, cream soups, blended soups, soft scrambled eggs, cream of wheat, oatmeal, stuff you can smash and make mushy Oh yeah, you can eat soft cooked fish too. . I am sure that there is much more, that is all I have thought of.

Thank you guys for reading! I have called and can't get in before my appointment, so I am waiting and doing my best not to blow it completley!!

I would say you need a fill.

Wow this is amazing!! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Yall, Thanks for reading my post. Ready for my journey to be, we were all nervous when we started, but keep in mind what this will mean for your future!! I wish you both all the luck in the world and know you will get what you want out of this journey!! Good luck right back to you!!

You will probably have to be on liquids for a few more days after too, broth will be heavenly!

And you will, I know you must have read all of us fussing over the same thing during our first months! I still have periods where I dont lose, and I am three months out. I am still getting fills so It goes good for a while then slows way down. Dont be discouraged just stay the course and you will see progress!

There is also spark people, and fit day that are free and do the same thing! Spark people even has fitness plans and stuff.

Thanks Ya'll It has taken me 3 Months to reach 28 pounds down, but it is down and I am so happy about it!! IT is awesome Possum!! lol (love that )

Alot of people get discouraged, at the beginning, but the truth is your are suppose to heal first and the weight loss comes after your band is adjusted to where it needs to be. Be patient and let your body heal.

gas X stips, help with the gas, and walking too, my doc told me the #2 would come when it was ready, and mine did, but some people use milk of mangesia. Most of us go through that. Hang in there it will get better.

your pics are lovely, and I hope you have a great date, in fact I hope you have a ton of great dates!!

I hope the break helps!! Good luck!

Have you been to a seminar? you should it helped me make the decision. My surgeon, had a flat rate for people who's insurance would not pay. I got mine for 14500. One year free fills! Good luck!

I had a hiatal hernia too but it was fixed when they put in the band. It makes healing a little slower I think but its all good!
