  1. Thank you ladies! I'm feeling much better ... My weight has been up and down 4lbs for the past two weeks now! I'm stuck at 30lbs lost ... I guess this does happen
  2. I feel sad ... I see my self in the mirror and see a fat person that doesn't look like she's losing any weight! And wondering why did I do this ... Need words of encouragement ... One of the ugly days I feel like a loser!
  3. Sounds so scary ... I'm glad I didn't have that pain it must have been gas
  4. Thanks! I don't have any pain just feel like I want to burp but I can't ....
  5. How does it feel when you eat to much?
  6. Thanks ladies .... And if we eat more then 1200 calories we don't lose any weight.. ... Well at least I don't think so... I've noticed that when I eat only 700 c a day I lose a pound r two when I eat 1100 r up to 1200 I gain like 4lbs in a day ... So now I'm confused I guess my body is trying to coupe with my lap-banded body! So weird how before I would lose weight so fast if I was only eating 1500 calories a day ... Now not so!
  7. Just wondering why eating less then 1200 calories would be a bad thing...
  8. That's awesome can you add me plz..... Vmarlau
  9. Yes I may just start drinking v8 ... Them veggies just won't cut it...
  10. Every time I smell the broccoli steaming or any other vegetables .... I get a wanna vomit feeling :-/ can't even taste them yukk!! I loved them before the band tho Any one else feeling this way?
  11. No, I just like to cook and learn to cook new things I do have a husband and 3 young girls at home! And they eat Breakfast lunch and dinner!
  12. Can't stop.... I love Guy Fieri "Diners, Drive-inns and dives" can't get enough of that show! Mouth waters every time!
  13. Does any one know where I can buy the book the bandwagon ? And how much does the book cost? Plz!
  14. What I meant to say was... I don't need all that gas under my stomach I'm going to try the straw one day see how it goes! Thanks for all y'all replies
  15. Oh ok Because when I was discharged on my after care papers it said no straws maybe just right after surgery? Well if it because of gas .... omg I had some Beans yesterday and oh baby Jesus! I'm hurting today the gas just won't budge
  16. Lap-Band and straws.... Why no straws? Is it just in the beginning or is it for ever? And why? Lol I love to drink water with straws lol
  17. Woman's softener worked great for me
  18. Thank you! I have lost weight before but never over 60lbs I have been over weight all my life I know I will be ok Like you said I need to take it one day at a time.....but I can tell you where is coming from ... My cousin witch was my BFF also! When I told her I was considering wls 3yrs ago told me flat out NO! She started telling me how ugly my body was going to look and lots of negative stuff ... And it stuck in my head ever seance ... She's no longer my BFF not because of that but other stuff that happened but anyway I never told that side of the family I was having the surgery only because of negative ppl that they are! I'm working at this everyday and I know it will get better.... I did this for my health!
