  1. No, the problem is every time I eat something it gets stuck resulting in hiccups, burping or vomiting. I don't understand why the drastic change. I was totally fine before the fill
  2. I have 4cc in my band and I can eat anything solid without hiccups, burping or vomiting. What am I doing wrong??? I've lost 6lbs in 7 days since the fill
  3. I'm 16 weeks and gained 2 lbs so far. I never had my first fill because I got pregnant one month after the band was put in. I see myself starting to eat all sorts of stuff I'm not supposed to like bread, pasta, and M&M's. This is my 3rd and last pregnant so I'm going to enjoy it! After I give birth I will get a fill and start losing again. I initially lost 30lbs, I'm hoping to gain less than that during thd pregnancy. Enjoy your pregnancy!!!!
  4. I got pregnant 2 months after getting banded. The only fluid in my band was what it was put in with. I always had good restriction with it. I lost 30lbs. Iam 12 weeks now and I fluctuate between 0 to 1 lb weight gain. The last thing I want to eat is lab band friendly food. My stomach just don't want it. It wants pasta and bagels and that stuff is making me very full and sick after 3 or 4 bites and I ended up vomiting. It's not ideal but that's my story. I'm hoping now that the 1st trimester is coming to an end j can get back to my normal eating
  5. I also had my 2 previous children in the 209's without the band and now I'm pregnant again and still in the 200's. I was just banded on may 31, 2012. Lost 27lbs and all the weight loss stopped when I became pregnant. I never even got my 1st fiill.
  6. I'm never got a fill because the dr said I was losing weight fine without one. I guess I'll just be starting over after the baby comes
  7. Did u gain a lot of weight? I feel torn. I don't want to gain everything I lost right back, but I will be 35 next week, couldnt wait too much longer for a baby
  8. I was banded may 31, 2012, just took a home pregnancy test today and it was positive. I lost 27 lbs so far. I was told when ur obese and lose weight u become more fertile.
  9. Lap Band on 5/31/12 and took a HPT today and it's positive!!!!!! Lost 27 lbs so far!!!!
  10. An anyone tell me about pregnancy and the lab band?
  11. Went for my first fill today and they wouldn't give it to be because I stay full for 5 hours at a time. I lost 10lbs in 5 weeks which they considered optimal progress. Thought my first fill was going to jump start some faster weight loss
  12. Getting my first fill tomorrow...... Excited and nervous! Hope he fills it way up..... Lol was banded on may 31 and have only lost 22 lbs.... I need another jump start. But am very happy with the 22lbs so far...... I finally got my waist line back
  13. I started working out 6 days after surgery. Yes. Slime and PB are cousins..... Lol
  14. Yea it happened to me the first few days after I started mushies. It goes away though
  15. I'm one month out also and chicken also got stuck but in chickens defense (lol) I didn't chew it good enough. I find when something is stuck oh helps to lean over the sink and cough, it seems to move it. I have tried drinking and it only seemed to make it worse!!
  16. How do u calculate the percentage? I'm was banded may 31 and lost 19lbs. My goal is to lose 100 but instead of saying I only lost 19 lbs I say only 81 to go. I feel like I just keep getting closer to my goal and every lb loss counts
  17. Was wondering, did everyone who lost significant amounts of weight need plastic surgery to fix sagging skin
  18. Great job! I was banded on may 31st and I'm down 19 lbs. The first 15 flew off within tbe first 2 weeks, the last 4 I had to work hard for but they say slow and steady wins tbe race!!!!
  19. No, I put a hard boiled egg in for some protein or 1/4 cup of fat free feta. I ate chicken once and forgot to chew and boy did I meet mr PB!!! I haven't had my first fill yet snd I'm never hungry. I usually place 1 cup of salad into a measuring cup and it's a sad looking amount, with either one egg or cheese and 1 tbsp of dressing, it stays way under 200 calories for the meal. I had that actually at 12 and I'm still not hungry I wonder if I'll ever eat when I actually get a fill?
  20. I'm curious, when eating salads are u supposed to eat 1/2 cup to a cup???? And if I add things to it should it all total 1 total cup??
  21. If u have the health and fitness channel there are 2 30 min programs on a 6 and 630 am. They are gilads body in motion and the other is strength training. I dvr them and do them in the evening
  22. I'm always under too but have lost 19lbs since may 31st. You know what the problem is with any bariatric surgery, it doesn't change your mind!! As an over weight person I always ate when I wasn't hungry, it could've been boredom or any other number of things. This is the issue that I have. I try to set my mind to having a new lifestyle and with that comes good and bad days. Over the weekend I went fof a 3 mile walk and then my husband brought home a pepperoni pizza. I wanted to eat the whole box but instead I cut myself a half of a slice. I really regretted it and felt terrible afterwards but what can u do, we are human. I don't think the half a slice set me back nor do I think the chic coveted raisins set u back either!!! Dont worry we will get there
  23. I had a party 17 days after my surgery. I tried a whole shrimp and it really didn't go down well so I cut the shrimp into 3 pieces and it was fine! Just make sure to chew well. U can mush anything in ur mouth if u chew it enough but I'm not recommending that
  24. I was told 2 days of full Liquid after a fill followed by 2 days of mushies!!
