• i am so glad i posted on here thanks to everyone .. my problem has always been portyion although i can make bad food choices my bigger issue is how much i eat . i thinkim a real food addict which is why therapy has been a big part of my process.. i mean sure yogurt is great for you but when you eat 5 conatiners ..not so great beforei strated this it was not unusual for oen meal to roll right into the next befor ei was done eating oen thing my mind was already planning what i would eat next . i dont have that issue now the long period of strict pre surg diet cure dthat soo farrr anyway . thank you all i love this site !!!!
  

b52, you didnt bumm me out i posted on here cause i really needed advise i think im freaking out and upset and needed step back and realize how this all works like ou said i did the research and know about how hard this time is like taht being said nothing i read prepared me for putting on weight that i had just lost so quickly that being said i made an apointmant with my therapaist ..cazy that padding idea is a good one i tried gauze there and teh flap is so severe you cant even se eteh padding i even put a hygeine pad there (thats what they did after my c-section .) it just get too looking ...well angry . im gonna see dr again on teh 28 th fro my fuill and ill get some ideas from him . thanks to both of you !!!!

i live in springhill and dr grossbard did my band on feb 17 2012 i have my first fill i hear he has awefull bedside manner .. anyone else hear that

AGHHHHHHHHH... my dr doesnt fill till 8 weeks out . mine is scheduled for teh 28th .. but i am gainging quick and eating just like before i asm active but not like o want to be due to some pain/infection under my tummy flap . that i cant seem to get healed . i see teh numbers on teh scale rise and i feel awefull and upset and go right to teh food ughhh . i lost soem much before surgery . why cant i get a hold of my eating and my dr is notorious for being mean and having horrible bedside manner( teh best surgeon around though) so now i have built up anxiety about even going to the filll ... for teh first time since i started this process i wonder if i made teh right choice .....

• i am doing pretty good i have a gas pain that moves around my torso lol i have been chasing it since yesterday lol the only releif i get is to get on treadmill on lowest setting and walk it out ! my sister is having alot of gastro discomfort but i am not thus far i am however a lil confused by my body .. i get a acidy weird gurgling that normally i would feed but im not sure thats what it menas now!
