Thanks for sharing ladies. Were u able to get pregnant before the band? And how long were u trying for? Because I know it causes infertility that and being overweight is not a good mix. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Lol!!!! I'm laughing because as soon as I seen the sex is great title, I was like this is how I've been feeling since being banded. It is so weird but good at the same time!! At least I know I'm not alone! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Hi j cash I was banded may 7th12 I am 23 and I have no health issues other than being overweight also. Those issues run in my family too. I didn't have a problem with insurance, although it did take a month to get approved. Good luck Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Wow congrats!!!! u lost 100 lbs with no fills that's amazing. I know u were extremely dedicated. Gives me more motivation. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I have gone back and forth thinking if i should get the band, and feeling i dont need to at times. But boy when i tell you i look at some of my pics before surgery it just made it all worth it.I have received a lot of comments some negative yes, because if people aren't in your shoes how can they possibly understand. It is so easy to judge. You know what's funny is that whether your big or skinny their still gonna talk about you. I've told some of my co- workers and their like why? And don't do it. But I did it! It doesn't really bother me it's more of an annoyance than anything. Banded may 7th 2012 Start weight 282 Now 260 Goal: 180 Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I'm not ttc but does anyone have hypothyroidism(low thyroid) or know anyone that has it with the band, and was able to conceive after the band was in? Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Frustrated as soon as I started eating solid foods I feel like I'm eating all the wrong things, my eyes are to big, and since I was banded may 7th I really have no restriction. Although I do get my Protein in chicken, fish etc. The bad thing is is that it's barbecued chicken, or turkey burgers with cheese, or tuna macaroni salad Smh. Havent stepped on the scale sure I won't be happy! Any suggestions on how to stay motivated and have that tunnel vision to stay healthy? Thanks! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Hey all haven't posted in a while but I'm doing great since being banded may7th. Haven't lost or gained any weight and don't feel any restriction so I know I'm in what they call "bandster hell." I'm surprised to see ppl posting about trying to get fills so early, I was told you couldn't get a fill until you start solid foods? well anyway next week I start solids, hopefully soon after I will get a fill. I feel like I'm not progressing but it's still soon. Glad to see all the new bandsters are doing well. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Well I know when I have the same "stuck" feeling it's usually when I eat too fast. Then I stop eating and it goes away. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Egg salad, chicken salad and tuna salad mixed w/ light mayo and mustard yummy. Try it out If anyone has any other soft food ideas please share! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

12 days post op and doc said I can start mushies today EXCITED!!!!! Good luck to all the new bandsters, I ve been where u are and it really does get easier you'll see Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Nope no broccoli and cheddar soup it's too fattening unless you want to blend it then what's the point? But I had some anyway 2 cups and I should've listened the first cup I could tolerate but the second my stomach hurt for hours. I worked out this morning and I paid for it. I figured when I started I weighed 283 now I'm 258 I think I deserve something for all this right! I'm definitely listening to my doctor they don't tell you this stuff for no reason.
