I have been having a burning pain on my left side next to the biggest incision. I keep reading about erosion and it talking about the port, this is kinda scaring me. I do have alot of gas. Has anyone had the left side of there stomach burning in between the bottom of the rib and incision above the belly button.

Thats great amount of weight to lose in 5 months. How you doing it? I myself havent lost that amount bug just got banded on may 9th.

They say just until you are satisfied, not until your full. Once thr hunger pain goes away then stop eating. I eat real slow and once the feeling of hunger goes away i stop and can go 3-4 hours not eating.

Well we normally toast are bread with no problems. He ate the bread untoasted with pb and his chest started hurting and took a bit to pass. He thinks he ate bread before not toasted and had no problems. I myself tried a toasted piece with pb and did fine. I guess people are different

Ok me and my fiance was banded the same day. Today he got stuck i assume for the first time. He was eating a peanut butter sandwich. Im unsure if it was the bread or peanut butter. Any thoughts?

Thats why they say if you mess up dont beat yourself up. Climb back on that train. You are not the first to gain back some weight and wont be the last. Thats why most of us got the band because we had slips and some still do. Dont give up on yourself, you came to far. Good luck were all here for you

Me to. My back and left side has been killing me. Is this normal

He was my dr. I think he is great and strict but thats what some of us need. Lol

So far i think im one of the lucky ones. I do not have a fill yet until 2 weeks. I eat 3 meals a day and im eating from 700 to 900 calories a day. I can not eat more than what im doing because it fills me. This may change as time goes by im hoping not. Good luck everyone

That is great. Keep up the good work.

I would say if you can go 3-4 hours your doing great. I havent had a fill yet and it takes me that long to get hungry. I am eating around a cup of food right now and i feel good. All this might change later. Willpower has a lot to do with it

Sounds great everybody.

I went to the ER yesterday, everything is good on the heart and such. They don't really know what it is. So they assume a pinched nerve.

I was banded on May 9th,2012. Im looking for a band buddy to check in with daily to provide support for each other.

Look great

Gosh i havent had any problems yet but i dont have a fill yet either. This makes me scared to even try to eat that stuff. Im the type of person when i choked on a piece of bacon i was scared for months to eat large spoon fulls. I will really have to take it easy. Good luck everyone

You sure are doing good. Breakfast: 1egg with alittle cheese Lunch: 3 lite veianna sausages 1/2 cup cottage cheese Dinner: 1/2 cup chili Snacks: 2 sf popsicles I havent even had fill yet. I get my first one in 2 weeks. May not need it lol

Yes everyone is different. I have only lost 7 pounds and my fiancé lost 17 and we had surgery together. Yes you are healing right now so don't worry if no pounds come off. You actually start when u are on solids again. Good luck

Wow you should pat yourself on the back. That Is great that he wants to use you on tv. He really thinks u came along way. Keep up the good work and those last pounds will come off

That's true what they are saying. You won't feel hungry after surgery just remember the band is there no matter on how much you can eat. I think of it like this, if I eat to much it may get stuck or I will get sick and believe me that will scare me to death and I dont want that to happen or I will be having a panic attack lol

Just don't give up. You might just need to try different things until u find what's right for you. Believe me we all hit that stage, that's why the dr says stay of the scale everyday lol

Me and my better half actually had our surgery the same day so we support each other. My ex is always trying to put me down with the choice u made like saying u could of did it on your own like me. Just always rubbing it in my face. So that can make a person kinda depressed. If your husband doesnt support you then we all are here to support you.
