  12. Hi I'm 6 weeks post op I was eating bake fish and broccoli with avocado. At first eating with no problem all of a sudden stomach and chest pain I thought I was going to lose my mind, mouth watering running to the bathroom. I did feel a little better I'm still burping food is going up and down like a yo-yo I think I'm stuck no more broccoli!! I'm so upset with myself I can't sip on anything because I'm back in the bathroom. What do I do?
  13. I went to my Doctor today he told me he gave me 2 cc when I got the band (surgery) that explain a lot how I was feeling. Today he put 1 in half cc he told I have 3 in a half cc. I'm really uncomfortable is this normal after a fill? I'm going to start shakes for a few days then start back with solids. Thank you for your replies.

  25. I went to my Doctor appt everything is going well, he was pleased I loss 24 lbs. If I lose 15 or more pounds by Aug 6 I won't get a fill. I went to the gym today I only did 40 min on the elliptical nothing else. I will add more later It really feels good not being hungry!! Happy Weight loss we will reach our goals together! !!
  26. Try not to cheat anymore because your surgery is in a few day's.You should be ok as long you didn't gain weight. I cheated the first 4 days with crackers and ice cream. I was scared that my liver would be to big but it wasn't. I wish you the best drink plenty water that really helped me.
  27. Today my brother had his party at my house. I was on my feet to long making plates and cutting up the watermelon. I put a a big piece in my mouth my daughter said mom! I remembered I got the lap band. I spit that in the trash. How in the world I forgot, I have to be careful. I'm having more pain now then the first day. I'm 5 days post op I would like to thank everyone for your advice you showed me so much support since day 1 this is the best forum:-)

  29. Best wishes, I know what you're going through.. it will be over after while. Good you're getting a recliner that really helped me. Post when you can let us know how you're doing.
  30. Hi I was banded on the July 8 I'm feeling pretty good. I know I can't go to the gym I was wondering can I walk 2 or 3 times a day for 30 min I'm use to working out since I started my weight loss journey. Have any one started walking or working out less than 1 week post op?
  31. I ate a half of Popsicle and few sips of diet tea for Breakfast ...I feel so full I can't eat or drink anything else. I'm surprise to have restriction without a fill. I'm going to wait for 3 or 4 hours then I will have my Protein shake.... I will mix 4 oz only not sure how much I will be able to take in. Have anyone else had this problem before? Thank you
  32. Hi everyone, I'm home really soar not to much gas pain I finally took something for pain. I did really good my doctor send me home. I been walking and sleeping a lot trying to drink my fluids. I am happy it's over!!!!! I will post again under post up HAPPY WEIGHT LOSS!!!!
  33. I was told the first few days I will have low energy because of low carbs. I take B -12 and supplement, that really help me. Please don't cheat I regret eating a few cracker two days in a roll. Make sure you're getting enough water that will help
