I had one done also but on the 8th on Nov. My hurt there too for a couple of weeks, mostly because I didn't rest and I picked up things I shouldn't. But better safe than sorry, go to you doctor.

Vitamin C and a lot of it 2000mg a day to help build your immune system up.

Dec.20 till first fill. When is this supost to get easy? Will a fill make that big of a differance? I starting to think I'll aways be fat!

I got the shot but it didn't do much good. Doctor said it maybe another strand, she said I was the 6 th case today and it runs a high fever. Mine was 102.6 !

:-(

Thanks, CHEZNOEL

3 weeks 3days

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE FLU!!! I'm so miserable!

I want to thank everyone for all your help and Knowledge. I know you guys have been through the same thing, and I know what I need to do, but sometimes you forget, and it's good to be reminded and encouraged. I've heard of banders hell but never really knew what it was till now, now it makes sense. You guys are great and give great advice and I will take all your advice and use it. Thanks again for all y'alls help in getting my head straight again.

The surgery was November 8 it was okay after the first 2 weeks the Hunger wasn't so bad and I was actually losing weight. My first fill isn't till December 20th and I don't think I can make it. I'm not losing any weight but I'm not gaining any either, it's very discouraging. I seem to stay hungry just like I always have, even after the surgery. What is going on? What do I need to do? Please help!

You look beautiful!

Thanks pmartin! That's why I love this sight, you all have been there and all the support that you'all give helps me when I get down. :-)

I am starving! December 20th seems so far away before my first fill. I'm sick of eating same food over and over and over. I am at stage 3 the mushy stage it's getting old

Update: Well it's been two weeks today since my surgery, and do you remember my business partner I was talking about at the beginning of this thread? If not read at the beginning so you understand what I'm talking about. Well He had a stroke and went to the hospital, but he's doing fine now but will be out a few weeks, So Monday I'll be headed back to the office a little earlier than I planned. I'm still having some pain on my left lower side due to the Colin spasms, so please remember me in your prayers and hopefully there wont be any joking remarks about my surgery like before when I return. Thanks for all your guys support it means a lot to me.

Woke up this morning and after a week and a half of pain it started to ease up, It's like my body knew I was going to see my doctor this morning, so it had better start behaving. My surgeon said, he thought my colon was having spasms which was causing the sharp pains and said they should subside completely in a week or so if not he would do a MRI. Just thought I would update you to what the doctor said thanks for your well wishes and prayers.

Thanks guys, I'll try to tuff it out one more night, my appointment is tomorrow at 955 a.m.

I had hernia and lap band surgery on November 8th. I have been hurting off and on, on my left lower side of my stomach. Does anyone have any ideas why? Is this normal? Is there anything I can do? Sometimes the pain is very sharp, but it doesn't really hurt if I am still, but does hurt if I burp or stretch my lower abdomen. I have my first visit with my surgeon since my surgery tomorrow, but I would like to get some sleep tonight, I have been using a heating pad but it doesn't work. Please offer any suggestions if you can. Thanks

The weirdest thing is the crust , after the egg mixture is mixed altogether spray your pizza sheet good and spread out the foam egg and bake it just like it says, pull it back out , add the toppings and bake it again and it turns out pretty good

http://www.food.com/recipe/flourless-pizza-crust-substitute-438094 I've tried this in the past and it's pretty awesome. The last time I made it, I left out the garlic in the Crust mixture and used Parmesan cheese instead. ENJOY!!!
