    Band too tight - horrible!

    Thats what's happened to me, dr tries to put 1 cc , and 1.5 and it was way too much, the first time, because I had so much trouble, everything inside got swollen he had to take everything out and wait 4-6 weeks before starting over. Monday he tried 1.5 again and Wed I was back in office because I couldn't catch my breath he ended up leaving .25 of fill he had just put in, small steps at a time, breathing is easier but I can tell there was some swelling, but not as bad as the first time, liquids for awhile...
  2. Dr added 1.5 Monday ,went back Wed lost 3 lbs because I couldnt eat, took out 1.25

  3. I never realized how much my body talks to me, but all that fat was blocking my ears

    Friends and sabatoge

    For me , it was hard on my co-workers since we do potlucks and what not. I told them and I think they have finally got on, that they can cook and bring whatever they like, I can eat what I can and bring my own healthy foods. I don't have to eat everything (like I used too) and its true not everyone outside our families understand what we look at in the the foods we eat. And someones birthday is tomorrow and I suggested cheesecake. But I know I won't be around to eat it as I'm leaving early...
  7. So busy worrying about feeling sick, not realizing I don't feel sick NOW!

  8. WHY OH WHY, DARN YOU CHEESE ENCHILADA.. MY TUMMY

    Feeling sick

    Call your dr/nurse let them know you are having problems drinking all the shake, (I know I did) I was told to drink other liquids as well, (liquids that had not calories/sugar). worked for me , but it does suck, this is just the beginning, once you have the lapband , you HAVE to stick to your good food choices, or your body will tell you different. (I speak from experience!) make sure that you are taking your vitamins , calcium if your doctor has already rxd them to you. Good luck!
  15. Oh well, dr. increased meds., but it was needed, gots to get my body back to peak condition...

  16. going to cardio this am, if I ever said the lapband was easy slap me!!, but Im not worried, just one more step to a better me.

  17. well, hell , I have high blood pressure not low, back to liquid protein diet for a week to get myself leveled off again.

    I've crossed over to the dark side...

    I agree, and it's great for my personal trainer, people have told me he must work you out like crazy to look so great and have lost so much weight (personal trainer knows I have the band) He gets kudos all the time, my body just sucks up exercise like crazy.
  19. ahhh, darn dizzy spells

    Anyone have dizzy spells?

    I've been getting dizzy spells since Saturday, of course ones mind runs crazy what did I do, what did I eat, I appreciate everyones feed back My dizzy spells hit out of the blue, and I've been drinking water like a camel too.Temperature was 110 this weekend! I've been eating pretty much what I always eat,and the last time I got dizzy spells was when I lost weight too fast, (doesn't feel like it right now!) My regular md said its not always good when your pee comes out clear, but what are you gonna do to cool off? It gets worse at night , when I lay down to sleep, I end up on the couch sitting up. With everyone's input I think I will go ahead and check in with MD to have PB, checked, MD already took me off of one bp med , maybe its time to get off the last one.
  21. Yesterday I went to Marshalls to get snacks, and I was making the ooh yummy noises, wistfully my husband said I remember when you would say that too me!! lol

  22. Any have problems doing exercises? my PT had be do some push ups, next day my stomach looked like I had been shot with a paint gun several times!

  23. week 68 of the new me..

  24. Happy Administrative Professional Day Everyone!

  25. same thing happens to me, I go up and down 6-8 lbs, I stopped for a week and it all came off !. Started up again and a few days later and at least 5 lbs was back. I'm trying not to sweat it (ha) because excercising makes me feel so better and clothes fit looser. Don't give up. This is for the rest of our lives!
