It's a great tool. Feel free to add me tgmoore34.

So glad your better. Cheer up you'll be fine! Not a big deal just keep moving forward my dear!

I mix in all soups, yogurt, cottage cheese, smoothies. Enjoy

Marci, I've heard that before. What happens exactly when the band slips? What do you have to do? Just curious.

Hi Everyone, Its been a while since I've checked in with everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I am almost at my 6 month timeframe and the last 3 weeks have been long and slow. I have been up and down 2 pounds. I am also hungry than I have been in the past and I can eat about a cup of food at each sitting. I started working out (just a little) so I think I am just at a plateu. I decided to go see my doctor just in case. Oh boy, I received a big fill today at 1cc. My doctor has always told me that she can tell how tight I am by the resistance she feels when she sticks the neddle in. Today there was no resistance so she "filled" me up I hope its not too much as I have never gotton stuck so far and don't want to! How's everyone doing on their journeys? Tina

I'm about 4 months post op and my biggest challenge has been my inability to eat meat. It just doesn't sit well with me anymore & it makes me sad:(. Let's face it, I'm a southern born black girl and we will fry up, smother or sautee anything with 4 legs:). I can't do steak at all & only dark chicken, which I'm not a huge fan of. It's frustrating. I think I may have to just stick to seafood & vegetarian style dishes. My fav go to snack is chex mix cereal, wheat or cinnamon. I put it in a plastic bag & through it in my purse. Buying the cereal is cheaper than the pre-made snack bags, plus you can add your own goodies if you like. I also eat a ton of Luch meat as a snack. I'm sorta a rebel when it comes to drinking, I still drink during my meal & it doesn't seem to effect me. I don't drink as much but I do take a few sips.

I was hungry day 3 as well. Not all lose their appetite. There isn't any limit to liquids. I made myself a smoothie & that helped as well as instant breakfast shakes & of course Protein powder in almost everything:) Congrats:)

Oh gosh no. 3 months:)

Yup yup & mine is a little crooked so it pooks out. Yucky. It freaks me out so I try not to touch:)

Saw my doc today for my 3 month post op and I'm 20 lbs down. So excited. That's good for me. I met my 3 month goal. I've had 2 fills for a total of 6ccs and there was no need for a 3rd today. Have a great night all!

That's AWESOME!

Hi Model, I first saw this thread last night & must admit that some of the responses continued to bother me today. 1st let me say that I apologize for some of the flat out mean & hateful responses. I think if you filter those you will see that there is a consensus that you should go see a doc/anywhere you can at whatever price to address your issue. It's always better to be safe than sorry. I would also like to express that I sympathize with the desire to be skinny & stay skinny so I will not pass judgement on your bmi or why you have a LapBand. So many smaller people pass judgement on the obese & i will not do the same on the skinny. Your struggle is yours alone. I will say that whatever your reason for this thread whether true or false I hope you received what you needed. It has been my experience that when people reach out in whatever form it should be respected as its a attempt to connect in some way. And if indeed this is a real person with a real issue (mental or medical), well some should be ashamed at the things we will saying hiding behind a computer & keyboard. Good luck model

It didn't hurt or anything but I just felt nauseous for a couple of days. Overall I just felt kinda crappy & sluggish since I wasn't really eating. I felt better a few days after but my 1st didn't have that effect. I saw my doc today & he said that fill was my "oh f*ck" fill. Lol. I lost 5 pds in 10 days so I don't need anymore. Thank goodness I couldn't imagine getting anymore:)

Going for my 3rd fill and I'm super nervous. The second one kicked my ass. Keeping my fingers crossed that 2 is all I need.
