  1. and i f you eat in the kitchen and set a place for your hub by maybe someday he will join you. put yourself first this time
  2. remember only one cup of food total each meal.
  3. good luck had the same thing up lucky I called my surgeon befor it got to bad...go to your surgeon first regular doctors don't know anything about the band and the discomfort it can cause they thought I was having a heart attch.
  4. my doctor says that feeling restricktion isn't the important part it is going 4 hours before you need to eat so go by thst.
  5. When this happened to me doctor took all fluid out of my band and relief was imediate I think you band has slipped. Either way get into the doctor ASAP and ask him to empty it and go from there you don't want to get to the point they have to remove it.And yes you can eat/drink if your band slipped not well and it hurts but it will go down
  6. my doctor pulls it all out and then adds what I need so the records keep suent and the band doesnt have a leak you might ask him to do that. I have to pay $150 for a fill insurance had 3 mos after care.
  7. no call your surgoen have you had th sore thoat since surger? there is a virus going around that starts that way but no for 2 wk.
  8. give me very bad back pain I always have to take something and keep changing which one I use
  9. call your insurance company they will be glad to talk to you about it.
  10. wow that is exciting...I hope you need to reorder lol
  11. call you insurance company they would tell you what they are looking for and why it is needed. Maybe its more to see if some of your medical problems are better before this kind of money.
  12. the band is to help you get along with smaller amounts of food and not get straving durning this time you are learning how we should have been eating all these years and how to eat for the rest of our lives you eat like you have on any diet only this time you don't get straving after you have eating and so you can to this meal plan forever. You go back to eating the way you are now and of course you will gain...you have to give up being in love with food and just use it to servive on like it was meant to until all the busness wanted to make money on our unhealthy eating.
  13. stick focus on yourself and don't add the stress of a relationship for once put yourself first its is hard to do that part but you need to at this point. I think we confuse excitement as fear sometimes you will be fine and very successful with this final piece of the weight loss puzzle.
  14. wow stay safe prays are with you
  15. odd sorry I don't know how to help you others will I am sure
  16. your tissues is holing water to help recover from the surger so don't worry it will come off .and show on the scale soon just contuine doing what you are doing to heal. The pain does sound like a muscle but you should call the doctor just to be sure and meanwhile keep the heating pad on it
  17. Well get the doctor and put a to few rock in your pocket you don't need to tell him/her and the record will be clear . Also as them how much after care they take care I had them and they only did 3 mos now a fill is 300 and doctor,flouscope and unfill is 900...wish I had known good luck
  18. wow that is great I am heading that way myself
  19. I went in for a fill yesterday and we talked about how to measure protiet and volume is one cup per meal and to cut up my protient (steak) put it in a cup and finish the cup off with veggie so that 13 gr of protient per meal and not over my calories for the day...and to eat every 4 -5 hours so that my body is always working breaking down and using the food. tracking my food is most important hope this helped
  20. If the acid reflex has just recently started its from the band and RW is right on the WLS will be able to help you saftly its worth the $200 and they should be able to put yu on time payment. I am a self pay now also...complication cost me $1500 which I still owe.
  21. good job on the weight loss. I go in for a fill today hope it puts be back in the green in my stomach and my head. lol
  22. its ususlly one scoop to 8 oz of water but call the office.
  23. are you having regular BM's could be something related to that.
