If you Search to Be Significant, By Losing Weight, You Probably wont Ever Be!! But If You Seek The Kingdom of God Then You Will Become Significant!!! Learn How to Live Blessed!!
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

hey the funny part was she must have been rubbing pretty hard to feel that :wub:

Question, did you gain weight during pregnancy? Its really not a dumb question because I did not. A lot of people dont gain weight every visit I would gain 3 or 4 pounds then I would lose it ...it was like that for BOTH pregnancies ...of course they were back to back Feb 2010 and Mar 2011.
But Im asking because if you did, that would explain why it is tight with no Fluid. The same way I feel now (even though I complain if you read my blogs) but as I lose weight or inches, my band gets looser and I need a fill i was at what I thought was my green zone then lost a few pounds and that restriction went away.
Do whats best for you, but be careful i said too I wish that I would have had gastric too because it was faster, but it is also a more invasive surgery that is NOT reversible. Good luck

You don't ..! Hell your just dating not getting married!
when you all discuss going out on a date pick something fun to do instead of go out to dinner. Try dancing or playing pool or the movies.....try inviting another couple over for board games. But honestly it is none of thier business until you start getting serious with them (really) serious.. Good Luck

It was hard for me to not tell her!! Kind of a funny story. After several weeks of wining, dining and romancing we decided that things have been great so lets consumate our relationship. Well we was doing the things people do and she reached up and rubbed my belly, everything stopped and she asked me if I had a tumor the size of a golf ball or something! I told her that it was a pump for my penis and how do you like it? she believed it and I couldn't stop laughing for a really long time she kept asking what so funny so finally I told her about Lap Band!! Now its a inside joke for us. When we go out with friends and stuff like that after a few hours I rub where the port is and we both start cracking up. Our friends and family look so confused.

Is that gas killing you yet??
When I got home after surgery I stood in the bathroom mirror for about 20 minutes saying to myself "What did I do" My shoulder and back were killing me fro the gas. They kept telling me to walk ...but even hurt to walk!

U need to check on how much from a dr, nutritionist, or pharmacy tech. Vitamins r good in small amounts. I've taken classes in college about this n the Vitamins that r Water soluble ain't to bad for ya if u get too much but the ones that r not (fat soluble) they r very dangerous ( one for example potassium). I will check my old papers from that class n see what it says. Hope this helps. Good luck n b safe!

I am about 6 months post op, and I noticed thinning a few weels ago, also I noticed that my nails were starting to get brittle. I started taking Biotin about a month ago and i can see a diffrence too already. Good luck... I have only lost 20-25 pounds and a lot of inches so far.....

ADD MORE PROTEIN!!!!!
Not picking, but why are you hungry? After my surgery which was dec 1st 2011 I was sore and had gas pains for 3 days! Did not want to eat or drink, but forced myself to at least get half the Protein shakes down, Then the next week i still was not hungry, but able to drink the broths, and crystal light Water, and sugar free Jello. The next week I blended up a low sodium Tomato and parmasean Soup and poped it in the microwave and drank that (delicious) it was cold out, and still had everything above WHEN I felt like I needed SOMETHING, but still not hungry ..
And here I am today with restricition and I have not had any fills, Im suppose to go in Jan 5th for the first one. Try adding more Protein I went to smoothie king and bought the big container of Gladiator Protein shake it is the best tasting one, you get 45grams of protein per serving. EAS Myoplex is also good and honestly it reall does knock your hunger out. Yesterday I had 1 strip of fajita meat no tortilla or nothing just 1 strip of meat and a big tablespoon of mashed potatoes and a big cup of my crystal light Water and I was full !!!! I never thought I would get full of of that ....I usually have at least three LOADED fajitas flour tortillas and all with rice Beans sour cream cheese and grilled onions .
The band has taught me how to eat not only smaller portions, but healthier stuff no fried food, no fast food, no sweets, no bread or Pasta.
What also helps me is to keep a picture of myself when I am at my heaviest ....Whenever the slightest thought comes into mind, look at that picture and ask yourself is this who I want to be? And you will put that cookie down and eat a Protein Bar or a scrambled egg, or fat free refried Beans with ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of cheddar.
I have lots of recipes Im learning ...just send me a message if you want more ideas ......good luck
