  1. Headaches Gone

    · lageniafaye · 05/04/2012 13:52

    A couple of weeks ago I complained of headaches every day after I had my surgery. I thought I had gas in my head. LOL, I was so wrong. My Dr. told me I didn't need my medication any more.YEA! so I stopped my highblood pressure and my colesteral meds. For about two weeks I still had a headache but it wasn't as bad. I was still taking antidepressents, I was a little afraid to stop thoese. Then I thought, what the heck, I stopped thoese too and WaaLaa No more headaches. So if you have headaches, it's not gass in your head LOL. Its probley your meds. See Ya!

  2. Day After First Fill

    · lageniafaye · 05/01/2012 12:41

    Yea!! I have lost 27 lbs. Had my first fill yesterday and it hurt more than I thought it would but it didn't last. I forgot to ask the Dr. how much he injected, but I could hardly tell the difference. He said just liquids the first day, soft mushy the second and regular food the third. That was that. Not what I had expected. Of course today and tomorrow will be the test. Any way I was thrilled to learn I had lost 8 lbs. from last visit. The way I was eating I thought I hadn't lost any. The diet I am on is really easy,(it should be after all the diets I have been on in my life) I just count Calories and Protiens. It was hard at first, because I was afraid I would throw up but that never happened. I feel more secure now. I feel pretty good, lets just hope it lasts. woohoo!

  3. First Fill

    · lageniafaye · 04/30/2012 15:38

    I'm off to the Dr's. to get my first fill. I am looking forward to it because I have been eating more than I should. I have also been hungry not long after I eat. I think it is my old way's trying to come back, but after today I hope it will be easier to control that. See ya later.

  4. What To Eat?

    · lageniafaye · 04/22/2012 23:42

  5. My Port Is Sticking Out

    · lageniafaye · 04/19/2012 19:34

    I am feeling a little scared about my band. I was thinking that the lump on my stomach was my band "now i get it" It is my port. But I have been worring about my band slipping. I feel no restrictions and sometimes I eat more than I should. It's hard, because 1/2 cup is just not enough. How can I tell my band has slipped?

  6. 11 Days Post Op

    · lageniafaye · 04/07/2012 18:40

    Today is my 11th day post op. and I feel fine. I still have a huge bruse on my stomach and the steri strips are still in place. I am sick of protien drinks,(slim fast, equate, atkins and chicken broth makes me gag(yuck). I still have a lump on my stomach, I think it is the band I am feeling. I am not depressed anymore and I am not dreaming of food. I think my withdrawls are over. I don't watch food comercials especially the fast food cometcials on TV and I don't watch the Food Network any more. I am ready to go back to work. So I still feel fine. Thank God.

  7. Eight Days Of Headaches

    · lageniafaye · 04/05/2012 14:50

    Well, eight days after being banded and I have had a headache every day. I am a little worried about it, its all in the back of my head and when I move it it hurts. I know I sound like a baby, but I never have headaches. As for my band, like I have said befor everyday is better than before. Wha hoo!

  8. Bouts Of Doubts

    · lageniafaye · 04/02/2012 15:06

    I had my surgery the 28th. Every day my body feels better, but I keep having doubts about being able to loose weight. I am so addicted to food and the act of eating that I worry about over eating. I am also hungry and nothing helps. I keep asking myself if I made the right choice. Does anyone else feel that way and what can I do?

  9. Happy Easter

    · lageniafaye · 04/08/2012 17:53

    Well it is raining here, but thats ok. I am going to cook today for the first time sense being banded. I am going to eat some beans and cornbread. Of course the beans will be blendes into liquid, and i will soak the cornbread in the liquid to mush it up, but it will be a treat. Ya'll have a happy Easter.
