Dr told me before surgery, do not lay down for at least one hour after eating. I usually don't eat after my dinner around 6pm and never have that problem. Good luck!

The only yogurt I will eat. It's like getting the best treat imaginable.

Yes, but it don't work. I've tried and tried and keep getting the same dumb results.

I've never shared my numbers with anyone but here also. I do tell my girls about loosing lbs and I plan to tell them how much I weighed when I get to goal. But until then, it's between me , my Dr and the hundreds of folks here.lol

Welcome to the forum! I too had to do the 6mth supervised diet and like Blondie said, my bariatric team told me every step I needed to take and got me approved. If I may make a suggestion, spend the next 6mths learning everything you can about the band. What it does and doesn't do. You can get a lot of useful information from this site. You'll also get a lot of support and inspiration too. Stick around and post often and good luck on your journey!

You go girl! MsRhonda, when were you banded?

Congratulations on the WL! Sorry you spent a lot of time being sick. I have not had that problem since being banded. Matter of fact, I did have the bloated gas feeling right after surgery, but not the shoulder pain everyone talks about. If you don't mind my asking, why were you getting so sick for so long? I'm almost 3mths out and have had none of that. I hope it is behind you now. So far, I'm happy with my band.

here's two excellent websites for recipes emilybites.com Skinnytaste.com

Everyone has handled the eating part well so I'll make suggestions about " I think sometimes I eat out of boredom". Don't let yourself get bored, clean closets, drawers, cabinets, take walks, bubble baths, find a good book, hang out here, do anything to keep your mind and hands busy. You have done very well and you can again. You can do this!

WTG! Congratulation, keep up the great job!

Only thing I was told was a multi vitamin and calcium

For some reason after I got back to feeling normal after surgery, the second week little things wore me out. I needed afternoon naps. It only lasted one week. Hang in there.

She was having a Band- nightmare silly. What I want to know is what drug was MsRhonda taking? When I was on that liquid pain killer Dr sent me home with a had terrible dreams.. Were you taking something MsRhonda?

I have not had the experienceof being stuck yet, but from reading the boards for the last 9mths, I think can honestly say, your body either throws it back up, it eventually goes down or worse case you go to Dr and get an unfill and see if that does it.

I had to do full liquids for 30 days, so no.

That is truly sad and I'm really sorry. But like you said , there ain't no changing him now. I'm glad you were able to learn something from this, and you even have given us much thought by telling this story. What comes to my mind right away is " don't judge a book by it's cover"& "judge not and ye shall not be judge". May we all look at others differences and accept them for who they are and not by their outward appearances.

I spent forever in the store looking for something like this. Everything had so much sugar & calories. Thanks for the shout out!

Yes, and you got me addicted. Key lime with crushed pecans,yummy. My store runs out of it and I've had to get a fat free other brand and mix it with fat free plain yogurt to get the same taste. Thanks for my addiction TKW!

TMF is right. It's all up to you now. Really work at eating like a bandster and fill in the hunger times with fluid, water, hot tea, sf hot chocolate(my fave). Getting my second fill tomorrow, wish me restriction luck.lol Hang in there, you can do it!

I had my surgery at 1:30pm and had to spend the night in the hospital, by that evening I was walking the halls, so I think your kids will be fine. They can take mommy for a walk. This will not be as traumatic as a c-section. Good Luck and keep us updated!

Congratulations! Any loss is a good loss. The best is yet to come!

Going for my second fill tomorrow. I'm relying. on Dr to make the call, if I become too tight ,I will rely on his judgement to remove what he thinks is best.

Mini is right. You have a lot of swelling going on right now, doesn't leave room for too much. Make sure you stay hydrated. Good Luck & Happy New Year! Just think next NYs you're going to look awesome. Woohoo

I think you're right!
