Sooo, today I had my second fill. I found out I gained 3 lbs ???ª???ª. The holidays are hard. My doctor said over all I'm doing great. She said its normal to gain a pound or two. How many fills does it take to get that "sweet spot"??? I'm curious? Also, I need new food recipes, I'm getting tired of the same old same old..... Happy New Year!!!

Are you chewing your food? I just had my first fill the beginning of December and I notice if I don't chew it will get stuck. I know it's hard to go from maybe chewing your food 3-4 times to 10-20. Are you sipping your drinks? If you still have this problem contact your doctor. And they will be able to assist you. Hope this helps... Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

My goal is 200 lbs.... I've already lost 51lbs, I have my second fill in a week. I started at 396.... I'm 5"8, I feel being 180 wouldn't look right. I know I have a long way to go but I can do it. So far the weight is falling off, can't wait til I hit my sweet spot.... Good luck to!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Sooo, I have a 24-48 hour bug and normally I would drink ginger ale but, with my band that is a no- no. What can I have? And I can't stand the taste of the spice ginger that stuff is disgusting. What are my options???? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Banded October 18, I just had my first margarita this past Friday. I had only about 8 sips... And remember when you do drink you will get tipsy alot faster!!!! I felt tipsy by my 6th sip!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

My tummy was swollen for about a month. It will go down it takes time. Remember they put gas inside you and everyone is different... Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

My doctor said whenever I felt up to it... I waited all of five days after surgery.... And now that I'm two months since surgery, OMG, sex has gotten sooooo much better!!!! I don't think I could wait 3-6 weeks... Stick to normal positions ( doggy style is your friend) don't try any of the Karma Sutra or any from Cosmopolitan Magazine and you should be fine Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Always that.... I just had a margarita and it did go to my head, I feel quite tipsy. Boyfriend finished the rest, I had maybe 8 sips.... Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I just had a margarita and sipped it slowly.... It did kinda go to my head.... But it was a learning experience, I probably only had maybe 8 sips, boyfriend finished the rest.. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Was banded October 18, I know this is the holiday season and all. Is it safe to have a drink?? I'm not sure how this will work with my new tummy. The food part I'm doing ok with, I did have one boneless wing and mozzarella stick, I took the breading off, wasn't sure if it would've gotten stuck?? Can we drink with the lap band if so, what can we have??? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm sorry you have to go through all this . I can kind of relate to you, my mom wasn't that supportive of me and my surgery. Like you I had people in my corner. Just remember we all are one big family here.... We are here to help in any way possible!!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I really didn't have any restrictions, oddly I didn't start to feel restriction til the last few days. I can really tell I have a fill now. I was filled 12/6, I can only eat maybe 15-25 bites. Please remember to chew chew. I'm averaging 2.5-3 lbs a week of losing weight. I ate over 3 hours ago and I'm still full. And remember 5-8 glasses of Water. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
