  1. Well I've had an ultrasound negative results. Hida scan low normal results, the doctor who is also the surgeon who did my band says the gallbladder is bad but not bad enough to take out just yet. Ct scan on Monday of abdomen and pelvis. Not to mentioned he has EMPTIED MY BAND!!!!!!!
  2. Pain on the right side after eating that goes around to the ribcage. Ejection fraction 36%, a low normal. Doctor said he's not sure if it's my gallbladder more tests need. What's going on!!!!!!!

  4. 7 months post-op 53 lbs down and this pain started. My surgeon emptied my band yesterday to see if being too tight was causing this pain. Ate dinner, small portion as if my band was still full pain was still there. Gallbladder scan is scheduled for Thursday. Portion control and mind over matter until my band is filled again.

  5. Today I was able to eat some beef and vegetable soup.I just have time remember to chew.
  6. I had my 3rd fill on Monday. Now I have 5cc in a 10cc band and everything Is hard goIng done. So now I'm only eating soup and drinking.
  7. Well now I have 5cc in my band surgery was May 15th and I've lost 35lbs.
  8. My band makes noises when I've waited to long to eat. But I don't think I've ever been full
  9. Sometimes I don't know if I'm full or hungry, banded May 15. Please help!!!!!!!
  10. Myfitnespal said I was putting my body in starvation mode. How do I get out????? I must admit I don't exercise as much as I should, but I work 5 12 ur shifts a week so I'm tired. I guess I'm rushing in it.
  11. Lmbo, my diet consist mainly of a protein shake in the morning at 530 before work. At 730 2 boiled egg whites and a banana. Lunch at 1130 a grilled chicken breast with 1 onion and 1 tomato. At 430 a chobani Greek yogurt. At 8 when o get off work maybe a piece of chicken or fish and some green vegetables. And I always drink 30 minutes after each meal and only water.SO WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. I'm still getting hungry every 4 hours before the 2nd fill it was every 3 hours. I hope and pray that I lose some weight by my appointment next month, if I don't it would probably kill me.
  13. I think I've put my body in starvation mode according to myfitness pal. I barely eat 800 calories a day. My surgeon says the protein shakes are good
  14. I now have 4.5cc in my band couldn't hold water down with 5cc. Feeling bad because I haven't lost any weight since my 1st fill on 6/14. I'm eating small portion, staying away from carbs and sweets, drinking them nasty protein shakes. And I'm exercising not as much as I should, please HELP!
  15. My first fill was 6/14, 2cc was added to total 3cc. It wasn't painful at all, just like when they draw labs. I'm only hungry when I wake up in the morning. I can feel a difference with food going down if I don't chew enough
  16. I was banded on May 15th and I've lost 22lbs, 1st fill today and I can't wait until I weigh myself next month.
