THANKS for all the great advice I have a lot to learn

I had surgery Nov. 2nd, 2012 I have lost 42 lbs. I had my 2nd fill last week and now I want to know how do you know when you don't need any more fills. I can tell a big difference this time but not sure it's enough.

Do you mean 3---5oz drinks or 35 oz of drink I drink a 14oz bottle of protein 3 x's a day that's it for me I get a sf pudding, popcicle or jello in between, I have had tomatoe soup but next day I have a weight gain fluid I think I think this is all trial and erro I have talked to people who say 1 day you can eat something and the next day it makes you sick just get plenty of fluids of some kind is what I was told. Good luck at the Drs.

Sounds like your mind is in the right place now I will pray your body will follow. Sounds like you have great family support good luck on your journey as we all on this page will take it together

I used Lean Body from Walmart but it to made me nausea the 1st few days

1st I don't know how to invite connect Star Anna Shine or Katie Strangr 2nd I use the protein LEAN BODY 25 proteins and 0 sugar from Walmart 3rd Sorry about the bacon ,but I have to cook it then can't eat it (my most favorite breakfast food ) 4th try sf puddings--sf jello-- try some low cal microwave dinners -garden salad 0 cal /w sugar free dressing Good luck you can do it

From my understanding some have it some don't, some get over it quicker than others. Me 6th day still have some mostly at night I feel part of mine is reflux, but walking helps, have a big belch massages and heat have helped me as well. It soon will pass but try to walk walk walk. Best wishes to you both and take good care of each other.

Good luck to all have surgery today and tomorrow, day 6 post-op for me and just saying it does get better each day LOL

Thinking of you praying all goes well, be safe on the roads

Congrads to you it gets better each day ---day 6 post op for me doing well, going out , discomfort almost gone still have to be careful in some of my movements, liquids are going down better

Glad you are doing well so far it gets better

Don't get nervous girls surgery is over and you know nothing about it, you will be sore and as many have said not really pain but discomfort , no you will not be able to turn over in bed for a couple of nights, and yes it hard to get anything down the 1st couple of days my Dr say get in what you can but be sure to hydrate as much as possible. My 5th day today and feeling better each day, still can't get all the protein drinks down but have a want for something in my mouth, sf jello and puddings helps but can't wait for my mush !

Good luck to all who have surgery in the next few days and weeks. I'm 4th day today post surgery, feeling much better yesterday, got most of my protein in and water,sf popcicle, and sf pudding. Slept on my side some of the night and I'm going out today to play cards with friends. The discomfort does go away, I still have some but much better than 2 days ago. Again GOOD LUCK !! I will look for us on face book

Good luck !

Good luck

Looks like you just need to stay from sugar, I was not given a diet but I did protein and sf fruit in the am, ff lunch meat roll and veggie for lunch , protein drink and low cal frozen dinner, mix it up don't get bored, protein drink helps fill you up good luck 3rd day post op

Ok surgery over, feeling sore and uncomfortable more than pain. The upper shoulders and chest from gas is the worse, my 5 incisions are various sizes, 1 about 1 1/2 in being the largest. My problem I have a nauseous feeling and I don't want to eat, only got down 2 of my 5 shakes yesterday and only about 16 oz. of water. My shake is going down a bit better this morning hope this goes away soon and the soreness goes quicker, down 2 lbs this morning. I think I want something in my mouth to chew well maybe with some substances but have to wait 2 weeks for that don't I . I did have about 1/2 sf popsicle last night it helped, (don't think I was suppose to have it ? ) Would like to hear from others who have just had their lapband done are we on the same boat LOL and best wishes to all November banders

Ok ladies and gents tomorrow is my day lots of liquid today and hope all goes well, wish me luck and good luck to who ever goes tomorrow and next week. Hope to be back soon, but lots to do today got to get hubby's groceries and clean house, get hair and nails done

OOO I m so sorry I know you must be disappointed wish I could do something for you , How long recovery for ankle ? Just don't let this lead you down the path of bad foods stay with support group and you will get through this.

Good luck samcclintick, will be thinking of you while I drink my broth Best of luck and take care

Hoping all turns out well, I just went through this in Va. on the Bay, drink your protein drinks and sugar free pops, pudding, and jello. I also made a pot of veggie soup no starch veggies. Glad the storm is gone from here still windy but after 5 days the sun did come out. Will be thinking of you and all in the path of Sandy. Good luck and best wishes

Happy Halloween ! Looks like most of us November banders are doing well, Friday for me is not far and really getting excited and nervous all at once, Good luck to all and I'm trying to open an new fb account to join in on the fb family. Hang in there we will all be much smaller next Halloween

Nov. 2nd and counting was due for pre op lab- Dr and nutritious today but all was canceled due to the Hurricane hope surgery is not delayed , just to much stress and getting ansy about surgery. Anyone else in Va dealing with this storm and/or surgery
