yes I was told not to take anything larger than a baby aspirin.. I bought chewable baby aspirins and I crush my other pills if I can.. I have not taken my diabetic medication because my blood sugar is normal since surgery...You might ask your pharmacists if you can crush your pills or if they come in liquid or chewable...I got stuck on scrambled egg and it is very uncomfortable.. It made me slow down and take smaller bites ...

Wanda as in... I wanda if I can eat that or not! Or magic wanda! Lol

I have been taking them for about a week and was good except for today. The firs half went down fine. It was the second half that got stuck. But I will double check with him.

I Hope You Continue, You are going to be a great looking cover girl this summer!! We all mess up the trick is to now tackle the monster again!!!

My Band is Called Faith!!! The reason I choose this name is because Faith is the Substance of Things Hope For Not Seen!!!

Mistress Band, the Dominatrix

You go girl!!!! We can do this.

Wonderful. When I started at the gym in December, I could only do the bike for 5 minutes and now 25-30 minutes. We all start slow. My son last night told me the bike is a waste and to do the elliptical even if I only do a few minutes and work it up. A trainer at the gym also told me the bike is a waste. Because of knee and back troubles I can never use a treadmill. My husband does it.
Have fun at the gym.

amy i feel you and understand...catfish is right....yesterday is over...sure it hurts and it always will..but
use that hurt to your advantage...prove those negative thoughts you have wrong..you are gorgeous inside and out...
there are mean people in this world..i hate mean people..i believe strongly in what goes around..
i was nearly home bound for 2 yrs because i was ashamed to go out..i am still struggling to bring
myself out of that..if i can do it, at 336 when i started, so can you..every day is a new day...

"another reason im posting this is so maybe when im successful with my band that i can look back at this and not forget how horrible things are/were. also i have now decided if i ever date people again my test is going to be what they think of obese people.. if they have bad feedback. theyre out of here."
Hang in there and you will do JUST FINE! People can certainly be mean, sometimes to unknowingly to themselves.
Yesterday is over! Make today a better one and tomorrow will be even better. One day at a time.

well I was gonna name him George but saw someone else stole it already so I am back to the drawing board.

I call mine "the baby'....
never behaves when i need it too...
and needs constant attention

Thanks for the update. Great news! Have a great appointment on Tuesday... life is good!

I jsut started mine and the first day was uggh. With you being so close to when you had your surgery I bet you are really feeling iccky. I hope next month will be easier for us. The only thing I did notice.. is usually i gain five pounds ever time i start. I lose it right back after I am done. I did not gain anything this month.

i got banded 5 days ago and like 2-3 days after i start.... i had massive cramping so that didnt help how i was feeling at all!! im glad to know it passes

Ugh I dread my periods. TMI here, but I'm dealing with it right now. I always find I'm a lot tighter the first day or two of my period but by day 3 I'm fine again.
Hang in there, you're not alone at all on this one.

I am so very happy for you....and I wish you the most success that life have to offer:)

I know what you're talking about. I had the same thing happen. I wanted to chew something. I still enjoy the shakes, though, have one every day for breakfast.

I am right there with you. I see my Dr. next Tuesday afternoon and can't wait to have something other than shakes and soup!

I had a really hard time trying to lay in the bed for the first 2 weeks. So I slept in my recliner and then when I did transition to the bed I would prop pillows all around me.

I literally had to make a cacoon of sorts. I had 2 body pillows - one on each side and one pillow over my abdomen and two under my head and one under my knees. There was barely any room in the bed for my husband. But, this was the only way I could sleep for the first week and a half.

It will get better. Try different sleeping positions, including the recliner. Hang in there.

I also slept in the the recliner for two weeks and then transitioned to the bed. I attempted to sleep in the bed when I can home and couldn't do it. It will get better

Put lots of pillows behind u to help u out & when u start to feel uncomfortable then move one by oone or if sitting up haelps u sleep better then do that a lot of us had the same problem and make sure ur taking ur pain medicine the Doc gave u it will help u sleep also I know my liquid helped me so I hope what I said might help .
