So I am at the dr for a fill & just my luck a possible flipped port... Uuugghhhh... Waiting on radiology to confirmar....

I was banded on march 5th and had my first fill on April 5th.... Looks like we are as close to banded buddies as we can get.. LOL you are doing great with weight loss any pointers?? I am only down 27 not saying that's bad but u are doing great!

AMEN ...... VERY INFORMATIVE....

So I was banded on March 5th 2012 at a size 18/20. Well on Sunday I tore a tag off of a 14/16 dress for church and YEP it was TOO BIG..... YAAYYYYY. Now I have only lost 24 pounds which does not seem like a lot to me, but I am happy with my success so far. I am only 7 weeks out and down in sizes so hay... I guess that is my first NSV..... its the small things that count and keep you motivated and I am ecstatic I still have 58 pounds to go and I am ready for the remainder of my journey and to get to where I want to be....... Loving my lap band....

thanks so much....

I am 7 weeks out and boy is it hard..... I have a prob with junk food and I dont do to bad but find myself eating candy since easter. I have to get it together..... been downing my self for messing up

I am allowed one string cheese and 2-3 oz of fruit per day. But no pasta, rice, bread etc....

Yes.. positive. I was told no carbs until I get to my goal weight. I am so tired of eating eggs so I called to ask could I do specail K and eas told no because it has carbs... I think I should be able to have them but they feel otherwise..... its killing me and I have had a break down a few times but nothing severe. Its so hard..............

Pasta sounds so good... unfortunatley I was told I can't have any carbs until I am at my goal weight. I am only 7 weeks out so I have aways and 61 pounds to go... spaghetti is my favorite food.... uugghhh but it will be worth it.

Thx everyone. I know there are a lot of options. But he says no carbs so that is very limiting. thx for the ideas...

Ok I was banded on March 5,2012. I was told by my doctors office no carbs.... so now I am so confused as of what to eat for breakfast.. I have only been doing eggs and I am so burnt out.. what can I eat for breakfast foods? I was told no grits, or oatmeal. They also said its not permanent just until you get to your goal weight... HELP....

Ok so I was banded on March 5 and I am down 21 pounds by the doctors scale and 25 by my scale... I was getting a little bit down because I feel I should be down more by now but then I realized at least its 21-25 pounds I will never see again!!! I started out at at size 18/20 shirt a squeezing tight 16 pants and 18 to be comfortable. Well I am now down to a 14/16 shirt and 16 bottoms... yayyy. I havent had to buy any clothes yet because I am a shopaholic and had 14/16's that I had been holding on to. I have set a new goal for myself to be down 25 more pounds by June. I chose June because that is when I have my family reunion in Louisiana. I havent really told any of my family that I had the surgery only a select few who I swore to secrecy... so it will be nice to see the reactions when I am down 50 pounds. I am finding that after a workout I am so week and hungry. So I tried drinking half a protein shake before and half after today and felt a little better. Since I am a newbie to loosing any and all advise will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance.

Thx guys

Had my first adjustment this morning and so far so good. Not really feeling any different but hopefully I will in a few days..... I was super scared and thought it was going to be painful but she was done and I was sitting there with my eyes shut so tight when she said or you ok? And I said just waiting for the pain.. she laughed and said all done... 2cc in the band..

Thx. It also makes me very nervous because I go for my first fill tomorrow and I am soo nervous it is going to be painful..
