I am having issues with pain. I have fibromyalgia and am in constant pain. I need to lose more weight and maybe my knees won't hurt.

I was banded March 13, and am down almost 30 lbs. But I feel sick to my stomach constantly. Has anyone else experienced this.

How many times a day do you eat? My doc told me only 3 meals a day and I can't eat hardly anything at a meal

I'm having a hard time finding food. I am lactose intolerant and I can't have gluten

I've been banded for a month and have lost 20 some lbs. But I am so tired and have no energy. Is this normal.

I think it depends on where you get your surgery done at. My first 3 months are included then I have to pay approx. 70 dollars each time.

I'm eating fish, turkey burgers, chicken and I do love my veggies. I buy the frozen stir fry and broccoli blend.

That has been happining to me and depressing me. My husband told me to quit weighing myself everyday so now I'm going to weigh myself once a week

I wouldn't eat salad yet because it is hard to chew up and might hurt. I've been eating eggs and soft veggies and turkey burgers and fish.

That is so funny they did the same to me. I have had anestecia in the past and freaked out. I was worried about this happening again but when I woke up I was laughing to myself because I don't remember quitting talking.

You do not have to take off acrylic nails. I also have them and I got them filled the day before my surgery they were fine.

Ok It's been 2 1/2 weeks since my surgery. I've lost 16 lbs. But I did gain two pounds and then lost them again(not sure how cause I hardly eat anything). Anyways I've heard alot of different people talking about what to eat. They differ like night and day. I have always preffered carbohydrates to protein. Not a real big meat eater. So this low carbohydrate high protein diet is killing me. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having the same problems. I'm a week and one day out and my shoulders still hurt. My belly hurts. Pretty much everything hurts.

I want to thank the people who commented on my last blog. Yes, I admit I have a food addiction. How do I know, well I dream of food and lots of it. Then I wake up and realize I cant eat any of it and it fills me with sadness. I dreamed last night that if I would have known you couldn't eat I might not have gotten the band. But then in my dream I said no, I would still get it. Those of us who are on the post phase of the band (short lived I do hope) are mourning our one true love. FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have come to the realization that I never really tasted food. Not really enjoyed it. Ok you say "Oh Carla you enjoyed your food". Yes but not in the way food was meant to be enjoyed. I am on the pour off the spoon stage and that can really limit your choices. But, I pureed vegatable soup and had 3oz of that then mixed in 1oz of fat free regular yogurt. It was actually quite tasty. I would have never done this before, but I was trying to get some protein in my meal. Until I actually realized I wasn't eating enough(I know this has never happened before), I was starving to death. Not starving like you gotta have that cheeseburger, starving like my system felt like I was actually for the first time in its life starving.
