  1. Ya I don't have a problem with feeling hungry bit just feeling full and being satisfied for the amount of time till the next meal. Thank u for ur advice I appreciate it
  2. So everytime I eat since being banded on the 29th of Nov I don't feel full. I measure out my foods. I eat healthy. I had my first fill on Tuesday the 18th. I'm just confused. Is there something I'm not doing right? I'm a beginner and I'm just worried I will fall back to my old eating habits. I need some veterans opinions please
  3. The protein shake in place of the dreamer is awesome. promise.
  4. What u said about them saying y do u need surgery? I always snapped back and said with this there will be consequences if I mess up. I hate being sick and sore. whereas if u did it on ur own all u would get is just a slap on the wrist. with this surgery comes accountability. This tells me...u know....I've went through all this stuff to get this and I'm going to stick with it and rock it for sure.
  5. Wow didn't mean hurling I meant burping. I hope I don't puke during the healing process. my mom says its the worst!!
  6. what I do when I want coffee is put my Protein shakes in as a replacement for my dreamer and add some fake sugar. its so good and u are getting ur protein in first thing too. it helps me a lot. I am having problems hurling but I've been farting too. sucks because I don't want to use my stomach muscles very often but it just feels good go release that. lol I actually freaked out my nurse cause she was like omg! I was like no worries haha. just the b***h every month lol thank God for loopy medicine
  7. Can u feel ur port site? I thought it was right under my skin but I can't feel it yet... when can u start eating mushy foods?
  8. Wow I hope u know what I meant in that message. I'm typing on my phone haha
  9. Wow I meant big gulps* lol add pads instead of tampons lol
  10. Ya. I an drinking liquids but since the gas pains I'm having it feels like I am swallowing big bulls when its just sips. I get a horrible pain my shoulder...but I think it just all leads back to the gas bubble. I'm having problems with hunger too...I'm not hungry but I feel like I should be eating something...drinking something I guess lol. ya I can't shower til Sunday and I will just have my mom take my bandages off. to make matters worse this might be tmi but I am on my period too so instead of tampons. I just resorted to page. my nurses were worried that u bled a lot but I told them no worries...just mother nature lmao. just keep walking around and start doing things urself. its a better healing time add faster too. best of luck to u!
