Lump/stuck/feeling Between My Throat Area
sandymax replied to genesishanna's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel this now too and searched the topic. It didn't start after eating buit I have a cold so maybe that's it. Did your feeling ever go away? -
Hey Patti, in my opinion there's no such thing as normal. However I felt excellent after my banding and have never felt any restriction. I've had two fills and currenly have 5.5 in a 10cc band. I limit my food (not so much) I don't count calories. I just kinda wing it and while I know I could eat more I just stop at a certain point because I would be so embarassed if I caused myself a problem. I've been losing 2-3 pounds a week so far. Hope it helps!

I am neither a homosexual or homophobic but I find lesbians that are NOT attracted to me extremely offensive.

Its empty calories, carbonated drinks can stretch out the upper pouch if you have them often. Real talk... I tossed back a whole bottle of wine two weeks post op and have had no problems. That's just how I roll.

What's happening to my twitter? How am I sending msgs to myself when I didn't? Don't open any links people!

I have a half of a whole wheat waffle topped with a little peanut butter and very thin banana slices and maybe a tiny drizzle of honey and I stay satiated for quite a while I might even have to come back to it later for a snack. My doctor explained to me if you chew everything til it liquifies in ur mouth then you should be fine and I've found that to be true. I'm not gonna lie... My mom fixed me a NEw York steak and I sliced it thin and chewed it up and I'm fine. I eat what I feel is right. Chew chew!

I can't figure out how to post this damn weight loss ticker! That's what I get for being obnoxious!

I got lap band as a tool to help me get my life on track as far as weight loss. I would never sign on to change my anatomy. That's not cool with me. Also my brother had gastric bypass at 550+ lbs and has gained most of it back. He can't adjust anything and has to reply on supplements for 80 percent of his nutrition. I agree with going to support groups. If I had to choose between lap band and nothing then I choose nothing. But that's just me and we're all different in everyway except our battle with weight loss. Good luck to you. I pray you find your own answers.

I really should get with the times and get a computer. Working from my blackberry is not the bizz!

Failed Lap Band!!!!
sandymax replied to mstrustar2730's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg! Sorry you are going through this. I actually tried to go through that company but my insurance wanted nothing to do with them so I went to LAp Band Vip. Look them up they're awesome! My docs and nurses actually give you cell phone numbers so you can call or text with questions. Good luck on your journey and don't give up! You deserve better! -
I call it being human. Last time I went to Costco to get my protien powder I had a rather large slice of pepperoni pizza! Forgive yourself and move on. Don't be afraid to correct yourself and start over. I have gotten to the drive thru window then said nevermind and got my money back and I've also taken one drink of a frappe or onme bite of cupcake and thrown the rest out. Losing that four bucks is a lesson in itself. Good luck! And remember we are Human! If there was some magic trick we wouldn't be banded.

Wife Just Got Banded--What Should I Know?
sandymax replied to The Hubby's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
This process can be an emotional roller coaster sometimes, when she is venting and it seems like she needs answers just give her a hug. I agree with not judging her food or portions and tell her she's beautiful... We love that.
