I feel that the fat person in my head get joulous sometimes and thinks "this time she is going to do...OMG watch out" and starts whispering little things like "u have done so weel, you can handle one cookie" and once you fall for that it starts laughling and adding more "this time its ok do less tomorrrow" and it beginns. I was fat for most of my life and ever tho I have been on a lot of diets it is s small part of my life. that little devil fat person hs been in control and still once to. its important I talk to that person all the time. "little one, its time to grown up and let me have a turn" "you dont need cookie right now" " I love you and I will take care of you now. hugs always" treating those thought s a naughty child works (so far) for me. hope it helps line dancer

protien shake is a Meal Replacement to have other drinks, snapple, tea, Water, cystral light, broth. I couldnt do powered but the premix is pretty good. line dancer

have u tried hot tea that sometimes makes it feel better specially if you have iritated it a bit. Just getting it filled can make it tender. It never hurts to call and ask yu dont have to go in. Line dancer

I got hicup in the beginning cuase I was eating to fast. chew your food a lot that also helps. Are you tracking your intake? I use fitnesspal.com low cal /carbs = weight loss. Do some walking that helps get everything moving better. laxitive and gas x helps a lot of the pain and pooping will help also. line dancer

take gas x and laxitive if you havent pooed yet and call the doctor. line dancer

are u ssure this s the right time for you and the band it a tool and it is not the fix. its like any other diet and foods. Go on fitnesspal.com and start keeping trach of your eating and make lossing weight now a priorfity its not ging to get easier with. check with the shrink at the doctor you r going to u have time to get some of this under control it helps to undedrstnd why you eat and do it now b4 the band it will ake it easier. Good luck honey, line-dancer

this is the hardest part but just keep drinking everything and often. I mde a big pot of chicken broth it was better then store bought. Dont get to hungry becaus eyou will then eat something fast that you shouldt and it will hurt, of course you wont do it again for awhile. rest and heal line dancing

they have pills for that ya know lol. Well wait till you know if no baby get a fill and some protection while your doing this one change at a time is a enough for anyone.lol line dancer

GET GAS X, and laxatives and start right a way the gas needs a way out. heating pads are a life saver. Hot broth as much as you can take i made a big pot be4 I went in and it is still my best meal. rest and health as much as possible not atter how you feel the inside take 3-4 weeks to heal so let it. congratulation on your new beginning. line dancer

I hve a Mom just like that didnt even come to my 16 yr old son funeral so I know. i kept tring to make her like me but she likes herself more and loves to be right and hate others cause it makes her feel like a big person. I took me 60 yrs to get the point her doesnt want me in her life and I have finally excepted that. i hope it take you less time. You are ovr weight because of her get to where you want to be for you. your on your way and you have a new family now, US we are here from you do not say a thing to hear, dont answere the phone and if you do get off b4 she can hurt you. hugs,line dancer

I feel the sam way I have a 10 cc bnd and 6 cc in it first wk i perect after that no so good . My doctor seems a bit tight with him Water (lol) says as long as you are lossing your ok. I really like feeling the restricktion it helps me learn what and how to eat and reminds me when I go back to the old ways. advange fill seems to be just over /2 way for most people I think 1/2 cc more for me would do it. line dancer

pee a lot lol I think you have done a wonderful job just keep it up. line dancer

I have a rupture disc in L5 and tail bone and it really got mad the week after surgery but once I had a BM it was much better seems that there was a lot of gas sqeaming to be released. Try laxitive. gas x and heating pad first call doctor for advise after that. line daner

I want wait loss every week or most wks anyway it keep me motvated. if you re exercising enought you might not need to but most of us do we want this to be the last time. good luck to u line dancer

Gasx an d a laxitive will get that gas moving and out and pain will be gone and of course the walking. Congrade ladies for making this wonderful life change.. Do remember its like any othr diet there are up's and downs get on here anytime you need help and come to the chat room thre is tons of good information there and they will help you every mintue of the day if you it. I am only 8 wks out and dont know if I could have done it with the help in the room. look forward to hearing about your journey. line dancer

couldnt do pots they always made me feel like that. line dancer

My nutrisust said 900-1200 cals and I set my tracker for 1,000 so incase I dont measure somthing right or have a finger full of something its in there. i am having a hard time getting to 900 but doing ok i get 890 so that is close. Am ging to start exersing at th gym this week so I will have to up it on thos days sounds like a perfect time to do protien shakes. line dancer

i use dulcolax a couple of times a week wish someone had told me to use them day after surgery, and stool softeners the wk before. line dancer

yes the above was my suggestion. line dancer

yes to above the walking after surgery is to move the gass isnce that is what causes everyone the most pain. Remember the first 4 wks is for rest and healing your body has had a huge shock and needs this time to heal so let it the hard work is just around the corner dont rush it. line dancer

well, maybe you could teach her about this s you make the changes. or this she be all she had to do with the lapband so you could go to her the regualr stuff you want to work with you sugon mostly on all this anyway. My doctor is so skinny its hard to even see her but she was so supportive and understanding. In fact I had problems with the surgeral team getting the ok my doctor did all that . At least it is done and I am 8 wk post and 19 lbs off couldnt be happier. line dsncer

At the very beinning you must have know that the trips to keep this started was going to be hard, and you probably thought that was going to work out but for whatever reason was not able to do it. Because your distant away from doctors requires a huge commintment ti yourself but believe it me it will be worth it. hrd but worth it. the fills ar the key in this program and of course a good diet I sorta follow a WW diet and I track my intake daily on fitnesspal.c its like any other diet it hard in the begining but with a big helpnghand with the properly filled band. We sre ll here for you while you get bsck on track just lets us know how we csn help. come into the chat room often for daily, hourly support. line dancer

I make sure i get my nails done all the time. Its one thing I do for myself to take care of myself. ladies make it happen it makes you feel so ggood to take care of yourself once a month. line dancer
