I agree why wouldn't you call the doctor?

The proper fill is important so be sure to work at finding that green spot. I have had three and this last one has done the trick and Thanksgiving was good. I did eat potatoes and stuffing (376 cals) so a lot less then any other holiday so I and happy about that. Get those fill every 2 wks until you can go 4-5 hours and not be hungry that how the band works so make sure you are allowing it to do its job.

I still have my coffee I enjoy that first cup.

that's what this site it , we look forward to hearing more from you....

me too its great

don't go to bed hungry use you protein shakes that should get you till morning. it important to pase out your meals. With this last fill I never get hungry and need to watch the clock to make sure I eat so do talk to your doctor about getting a fill.

this doesn't sound good and they should have had u seem a doctor right away what kind of service u getting here.

I am sure if you think about it you knew he was this kind of guy.. they never really surprise us.

good question what has your OBGYN said about it? maybe u can get a C-section and a tummy tuck at the same time problem solved lol

Gave all left overs away and only cooked a breast not the whole bird and froze the other half. I love turkey,mayo,cranberry suce on white bread twice a day till the turkey is gone. not one snadwitch this year I am so far ahead.. also first bit of turkey got stuck so the meal was over for me until the next day and I just save a 1/2 c potoes and 1/4 c stuffing (357 cals) but tracked it and I am fine specially after going to the gym before I ate that...I am so proud of myself I think I am going to do it this time. yippppeee

laxative for me every couple of days if I don't I get a very bad back pain...

almost all diet programs tells you to track and you proved it worked for you. most doctor aren't dieters so they don't really know the daily problems we have. The know how to make a living on helping us but often don't know how to do it the long way. People on here do know and are living it so they can help more. Get back on your tracker and clean your house out of not so good food...you can do this along with us

very brave of you to get back on track this is a full time job and you need to get sll set up. come here daily, get your fills, clean out your kitchen no mater who else lives in the house, go to the gym daily and get a supply of protein shakes ready for meals missed or a differasnt option when around difficult foods. Good for you to get back on here and do track evey bit.

pushing on your tummy to locate the port and than a small needle prick less then a shot. Be for then a lot of talking about how your eating and feeling 20 mintues and u r out back in 2 wks if you are hungry in less then 4 hours. Doint wait long inbetween fills after my 3 rd fill I know what the band is suppose to do for me and it fills great. I am never hungry. I get brain hungry when I see or smell food that I loved in the past but I adviod there places and evn trun down the sound on the TV ads for food.All these little tricks really work.

some doctor also think that the fake sugar can trigger hunger so you don't want to go there for sure .think before u eat anything

interesting situation, I guess if it were me it would depend on how much weight ZI had to loss if it was over 100 lbs I would want the help of the band...so you have got some thinking to do.

walmart carries myoplex with 42 gr of protein and lots of others with different protient gr check it out. I do myoplex on the day's I am very low or I cant get all my cals in

U did gain all you weight in one or two meal and you wont loss if u miss one or two. it is commitive over time. Water weight maybe everything at holiday meals has salt ....you are to early one to worry about it just keep track and stay true to yourself.

It taskes more then one meal to gain weight. Gather the leason you learned and prepare for Christmas and get your fills before then...it was a life saver for me I couldn't eat more then a few bits cause the turkey/stuffing got stuck for a long time....the right fills is the answer for me...I had to thank my band for a job well done.....If you were the cook get rid of the food.

Well this is my first big meal but I prepared. I only bought a turkey breast and made 1/2 the dressing, since I have an autisc daughter I made a good portion of potatoes but still less then usually and we had yams cause I knew the kids would not leave anything left.little did I know the first bit of turkey would get suck and it didn't move for about 10 mintued. fianally I had a bit or two of the yam and pots and then it as time to clean up. I pack up whatever was left and sent it home with my guest and froze the other half of the turkey till Christmas. I was disappointed that I couldn't eat some but by the end of the day thanked my band for doing its job so well.

wow what a great feeling you have done a great job .

not to much prozxide it brakes down the skin. Soap and water and a cotton ball should do it.

I think you would know best but 6 wks is always said to be the healing time for anything major.

cooking small potions only have a turkey breast. I have a young male coming over so I am hoping he will eat everything that is left. For me a bit of everything including pie I bought a small two serving apple pie and will have a small piece then freeze the rest for Christmas. That is the plan I will let you know how I did. If it works we will do it again Christmas if no then Chrismas is canceled.
