  1. no sorry I don't but what about splitting them? I got a pill cutter and the drug store and it works get
  2. they took it all out and just put point 4 in or 4 cc in? I had all mine taken out and they tried 4 cc but it dint flow so I now have 3 cc but I am getting hungry so I will go in for 1.5 next week.
  3. GREAT JOB isn't it fun...Ilove it
  4. come into the chat room we would all love to be your buddy.
  5. welcome aboard use your heating pad and rest, sip, rest, sip I look forward to hear how you are doing.
  6. only a doctor would know. Goo.d luck at getting this figured out
  7. I are sure you will get a fill when u go in? I would think you doctor would want to chat with you and have you see the nurtisit, and get you on a pre work diet like a pre-op diet. Have you don't any prep work? clean out your house. really talk to the doctor maybe get cusloring I recommend all this first set yourself up for success none of the pit fall of the first time, make a list of things that didn't work that you can change now it might help. Good luck and congradulation on getting back on track you can do it.
  8. it will we promise use you heating pad and a stool softner it will help .
  9. well, you still have to be on a diet and follow the rules putting down you fork between bits helps. For band doesn't supply restriction but I feel satisfied after eating my one cup and I don't get hungry in the same way. The best thing I like about it is that I don't think about food all the time and it doesn't seem to call to me. I had a 10 cc band and 6.5cc in it and it was perfect so you just might need a bit more. good luck you can do this
  10. just give them a call they will tell ya.
  11. I agree it is dangerous
  12. I don't loss every 7 days but II do end up losing 10 lbs a month so don't worry. If you were to tight you wouldn't be able to eat. so just keep going and stop worring.
  13. glad u called it could b something
  14. call doctor and get med for the nausa use your heating pad 24/7 drink something hot helped my hunger. Cream soup (made with water) was my life saver. It does get a lot better hand in there
  15. Go to the baby section in you local food store and get the spoons there. they are the perfect size for us banders. Do NOT gag or try to throw up this is very hard on the band and will cause it to slip I just went threw this and had to have my band emptied, I one of the lucky ones sometimes they have to remove it right away. For that reason take very small bits, chew the hell out of it and wait between bits you will learn from your body. Follow the doctor orders. If you feel stuck (which means the chest where the band is) drink something hot and stop eating.
  16. my doctor has me lift my the to make my mucels push the port top then its a pin prick and off I go. Nothing to be scared about..like getting you flue shot which I hope everyone did.
  17. You are eating some hard things right now. any thing that you can wod up in a ball like bread will get stuck pasta and rice aren't good either. I made my own veggie soup and then ground up chicken to put in it to get the protient with out the problems. Be very gental to you bsnd for a long time. You doctor should have given you a list of food to NOT eat keep re-reading it so you never have problems.
  18. why did you get scared? some consoling will help you explore this as well as help you work with the whole process my doctor offers that . Y.ou might want to look into that all support is good this is a big chance and it is great
  19. heating pad are a life saver and poop stool softners or milk of magnisa worked for me this is all normal not fun but worth it and as you loss weight this wont even be a memory. Rest, heat ,walk and poop.
  20. Honey, its just been a few days why would you expect a lot of weight loss you swollen and your body is in shock its not sure what to do but get you well,The weight loss start 6 weeks out at you frist fill . Not to worry this will work for you but give it time in the beginning and you'll get there saftly.
  21. If you only one day post op it shouldn't move at all. As you loss it will change postions call your doctor
  22. that is hard on your band be careful. I got the flu and puck and had to an unfill for 2 wks I now need to let it pass, watch what I eat and call dr if I get sick.
  23. I did creamed soups it tasted good and something warm always pleases the tummy high protient shakes would help also ESA has some that are 40 gr protient.
