  1. Is slipping that common I haven't read a lot about it on here. because it came on so suddenly I would think it was stuck and now it is irrated. I would keep drink hot tea today and if still a problem tomorrow give a call to doctor. line dancer
  2. I count also it keeps me on track I do 900-1200 I think it is a great way to learn to eye ball it in the future or when you cant measure. line dancer
  3. If you don't feel like eating get the protient shakes in and do more clear liquids I had to do that, just didn't feel like food. now I am 10 weeks out and 20 bs off so its worth it .line dancing
  4. That makes sence also heat and then ice pack also helps. could also be the pain meds if you are still taking them.. You are eating much and that can give you headache and if you are a coffee drinker and haven't had a cup that also can give u one. Hope u feel better soon. line dancer
  5. My birthday is Saturday but I am going to miss this one, that is the gift I am giving to me. next yr I will go out to dinner and have a treat. You have given yourself a gift and a treat with the band. line dancer
  6. I came out of or with 4 cc in and have had 2 fill 1 cc each and I need another. I don't think you have enough in your band or you wouldn't b hungry. The band is there so we don't feel as hungry I have 10 cc band. line dancer
  7. call your hospital but most will take payment also check with your surgons mine has company's that opens an account for medical bills. line dancing
  8. that is so frustrating I know and so easy to do. I am new to all this and was doing well till last week gained 3 lbs I know that's not much but I am eating less then 1,000 cal a day and I gained how csn that be. I am calling for another fill.You keep going get your fills and stay in touch so we can help you. line dancing
  9. usally it gas and the air they put in durning surgery. Gas x and a heating pad did the most good for me pain meds wont help gas. also a laxative will get the gas and air out so get that also. this will get better soon but help it a long .line dancing
  10. gas x helps a lot and a heating pad does wonders. you are going to be healing for about a month so be sure you rest. As you eat more your trierdness will get better but listen to your body its telling you to rest. Not to worry about your weight loss or gain durning this time you body will be getting rid of toxions at this point let it.there is a lot of water weight from the surgery so this is what you areL losing.Drink broth hot it will feel better ZI made my own it just tasted better.Line dancer Drindrink broth
  11. <p>yes call your friend for help I am sure she can make arrangments for offer a friend to help you out. you don't want to miss this oppunity</p>
  12. I to get colder I think it is dropping all the bad food and my body is working much better. even my sugars are down by 100 and just went to the doctor and all my blood came back great. More weight to loss to get off the deibties meds but it coming down . line dancer
  13. well, always be up front with them do neither of you have any surprises. odd that your band didn't stop u from eating most of us would have had some pain so you probably need a fill right a way. You need to work with this diet like any other the band helps a lot but it doesn't do it for u. track everything u eat and drink it helps you stay on point we all want this to be the last diet we have to be on we must pay attention this time. Good luck to you line dancer
  14. laxitives I need them all the time (2 mos. out) the only way pounds csn escaspe so get on it. the weight loss will come they put 6 lbs of water into you so you have loss.line dsncer
  15. vitafusion multivites chewable have all kinds of flavor in one bottle so it is never the same. line dancer
  16. mine wanted me to loss 5-10 pounds in a week with protien drinks only... I couldnt do it and he didnt even ask me line dancer
  17. I track all my food on fitnesspal and was told b surgery to do 900-1200 calls a day must days I have trouble getting in 900. Once in a while I get in 1100 but I am still ok. i wouldnt worry about you cal intake until you have healed and are on real food you need to heal and rest your ody has had a big shock and needs to recover. line dancer
  18. that seems so odd has the doctor taken an xray to see if it is still in the right place and have no leaks? you sohouldnt be avle to eat a thing with it so full. line dancer
  19. what is it? line dancer
  20. You should be able to cssll your insurance and see if it is a covered service and if the doctor you are seeing is also an approved provider and if not who is. i had to do some homework just so i knew. your doctor should have been able to also tell you if he is covered under your insurance then u just need to jump thrught the hoops your insurance needs. line dancer
  21. home make chicken broth goes a long way. Protient is good health and you ar getting enough for that now u need to stop the quick foods and track everything you eat . Drink more Water that flushes it out. Good luck this is a hard time for you but you can do it withut gaining just maintaining is a job well done. line dancer
  22. Ladies remeber that those PMS days are Water retaining days even if you longer have periods the body still respons to it. If you keep track of daily weight you will soon see it. and as what was said above drink drink drink. line dancer
  23. what r u having done? I jusst had the band and was home that night and didnt need anyone. it was unconfrtable from the gas but no one could have helped me it just took time. might be nice to have the number just incase but sounds expensive. line dancer
  24. c25k?? line dancer
  25. Good for you , you are so brave and strong. I am proud of you. I think i would have had to take the day off at least until I have learned to eat better. i have only been banded 9 wkks and it it time to "eat just one"... line dancer
