Good luck

I did the same thing and it felt so good. Kudos to u

I have a group of friends that meet once a month. First I'm five weeks post op today. Last Thursday was my first time out since March with the group. However, I ordered a salad knowing I wasn't goin to eat it. My eyes have always been bigger than my stomach and now it's literally true. But it felt good to leave food on my plate for a change and to have others ask for my food.

Yes this has been my problem... I start slowing down

This is very informative

Start walking... To relieve the air. You will feel so much better at least in your shoulder.

I live in Jackson. I see Dr. Richard Johnson at The Tranformation Center of River Oak Hospital. 6019361170

Sometimes I feel better than there are times I feel like a rude little girl burping all the time

For me I couldn't live with myself keeping it a secret. My oldest sister is three years out. I mentioned this forum and attending support group but she refuses. weight Loss is a full time job. I want to be the next Jennifer Hudson for Lapband. My dream

I was banded April 11th. I'm not ashame and has disclosed this information to any and everyone. In my opinion, weight loss is a struggle. Yes... I have always worked out but the weight didn't bulge. I want people to understand my weight loss struggle.

It's a mental challenge. I had surgery on April 11. I don't think I know anyone that wants to fail. I never 2nd guessed myself yet wondered why I didn't do it 4 years ago. I have to remind myself that my eyes are still bigger than my stomach. I am scheduled for my first fill on May 24th. I can't wait cause I'm ready for my challenges.

I love my Spanx, however, I am 23 days post op and Spanx or any other control assistance hates me. I feel horrible but look good.

the last couple of days have been crazy.. I have been so starving until my stomach sounds like a train. I am 11 days post-op. The grits made me hungrier, so I finally broke for a small piece of baked fish. It satified me for the moment but decided to have some more protein drink. However I was started to go the amount of recommend protein for a day.

My doctor recommend 25 mg of zinc for hair loss.

I have been sipping and taking it extremely slow. My sister told me to drink a hot beverage with carbonation; it helped for that day and resumed the next day.

I had surgery on April 11th. Thus far, I am feeling and doing good. I have one problem, I keep belching and burping like a little child at least 2 times in an hour. I am schedule for my 1st follow-up visit on Thursday and I can't wait.

So far it's going great.

Thank you very much

In my opinion, the opposite sex fears change. You know the opposite sex will look at you different. I asked my boyfriend to put his feelings aside and look at my struggle. Good luck. As I tell my friend, I am glad the Lord takes souls and not body because mine won't be recognizable.

Welcome to lapbandtalk. I am five days post-op. Please read your information from the doctor/clinic that you are attending. Also, I would definitely recommend attending seminars if they are available. Good luck.

I think I have been doing good but must confessed I tasted a piece of roasted chicken today. Gas has been killing me in the shoulder. However, I did walk 2.5 miles today.

Hi Debbie and welcome. I am five days post-op. I agree with you bout doing it two years ago. My ex-husband was away in Afghanistan and I was home eating the house.

I am five days post-op. I am feeling good. I walked 2.5 miles this morning, I had gas in my shoulder yesterday and thought I was going to pass out. Finally, my oldest sister, who is two years post op told me to drink a hot soda to relieve the gas. Lord knows I didn't want to but I think it save my life definietely from the pain. I am moving around great but has a lot of gas. Really believe it's from the pre-op diet of broth which can be greasy. My initial weight was 212 pounds; heaviest weight: 222; I lost 12 pounds during the two weeks pre-op diet phase. Day of surgery I weighed in at 200 pounds. Today, I am at 199.0. Not much difference.
