  1. So happy to hear that someone else has experienced this! I was getting worried! I've struggled with the lap band journey so far...I am 6 months out from my surgery and this is the first time that I have felt any real restriction! Thanks!
  2. Had another fill on Wednesday and now I periodically feel like the muscle at/under/around my port is twitching. I've never felt this before! Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? Should I be worried? Call doc?
  3. How would I know if I had a leak in my band?! The idea was suggested to me today by a fellow bandster. Thanks!
  4. I'm 8 weeks post op...is it true that I can't have beer?! What will happen?
  5. HELP! Feeling so discouraged and defeated (again). I'm 2 months post op with one small fill and I've only lost 4 pounds. Any advice?!?
  6. Had my first fill this week and feel NOTHING! Should I ask to come back in two weeks or wait the scheduled four weeks?
  7. Thanks all....can you tell me specifically which APP you are using?
  8. Hi all - which app is the best? I am NOT a runner (or exerciser) so I'm starting from scratch. Thanks!
  9. So excited and a bit nervous for my first fill tomorrow. What are the "rules" prior to the fill? Is it no food or drink two hours prior? What can I expect?
  10. I was banded 2/17/12 and have been waiting patiently for my first fill that is scheduled for 3/29/12. I had lost 11 lbs pre-op and had maintained that loss until the last week. All of a sudden I am eating any and everything weather I'm hungry or not...just like the old days. I have gained 5 lbs back and I am so mad at myself. Also, I'm getting nervous reading the blogs about how long it takes to feel restriction. I know this is a process, but (mentally) I need to see some progress! Any words of wisdom from the group?
  11. Is there any reason why I couldn't take zyrtec (for allergies) after lap band surgery?
  12. I'm 4 weeks post op today and overall feeling really good. My main complaint is feeling very bloated...anyone have suggestions or a similar experience?
  13. iPhone autcorrected...I was asking which Chobani yogurt has 23 grams of protein?
  14. Does anyone use a numbing cream on your port prior to getting a fill?
  15. I see lots of folks talking about how much protein is in Chobani Greek yogurt....the most I see is 16 g. Which types have 23 g of Epstein? Thanks!
