I have a question off the subject , I have been having stomach pains for awhile and decided to go to the hospital , they ran all test and ct scan, and saw Fluid around the port . Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you handle it.Is this something that I need to be concern with immediately b/c my Dr.didn't schedule my appt until Monday 12/3. ~MsChoco1

@Show ..I only weight when I go for my fill..once a month.. ~MsChoco1

Don't feel guilty!! I dont know how much or if I gained any weight ,but you can rest to sure that we are not the only ones that ate more than we would normally eat. So no stressin and what I do is stay away from the scale until weight in ~MsChoco1

Happy Thanksgiving!! I've eating dinner already and boy I think I ate too much.. well put it this way .. I know I ate too much.. that means that I will not eat for the next few days.. (free day) ~MsChoco1

I have a question.. after a fill,is it ok to eat although the Dr says not too.. I'm hungry ~MsChoco1

Thanks.. I kinda figured it..I was not one who drink sodas but sometimes I have a taste for a soda.. but oh well ~MsChoco1

Does anyone know if diet sodas are allowed ?? ~MsChoco1

Check out bandwagon cookery .. written by own Jean Mcmillon(spell check). U can get it from amazon.com for cheap . Very helpful!! ~MsChoco1

OMGoodness.. are you guys saying its ok to drink coffee.. I haven't had any in over a month ( banned 9/4/12) what abt sweet Tea from micky D's?? ~MsChoco1

I got my first fill on 10/3 .. and I'm noticing that I'm still hungry and not as satisfied as I should be after meals. Should I call my Dr for a early fill..if its such a thing ?? ~MsChoco1

Thanks Elle.. that was another thing that I though of b/c I sleep on my side that the port is on.. uugg .. guess I have to be patient.. no pain no gain or in out case no pain no loss..lol.. 25lbs down Woohoo !! ~MsChoco1

I was banned on 9/4/12 and I'm still having pain on the port site. It's not tenderness but more like pain.. I though the pain would've been gone by now. I went to the ER to make sure everything was ok and it checked out but I think I need to schedule an appt with the surgeon..just to be on the safe side.. ~MsChoco1

Wow.. So sorry to hear about your wife.. that is just unheard of.I hope she feel better real soon. I'm just thankful that I have an awesome Dr here in ATL..Keep us updated on her progress. Gods Blessing ~MsChoco1

Thanks Jim!! ~MsChoco1

@Jim .. I didn't know if I could eat.. but now that I know .. I will make sure I get a bite before the fill.. that was the longest 24 hrs of my life ..lol.. By chance , does anyone have a guide on what a days meal would be.. I'm looking for something new so that I won't get bored with the current meals. Or a receipe(spell check ) book for banders.. ~MsChoco1

Thanks guys ~MsChoco1

I was banned on 9/4/12 and had my 1st fill today..Not what I expected!! I didn't eat before the fill and I'm now on liquids for 24hrs uugh!! My stomach is growling like crazy.. OMGoodness.But on a lighter note.. for weigh in I lost 19lbs and I feel great!! I can't wait till tomorrow so I can put some food in my belly. Any suggestions ??? ~MsChoco1

That is so weird! I got banned the same day and I get my fill the same as yours. I was just telling my friends that I feel hungry and my stomach growls from being so hungry .. I don't want to over eat so I mostly drink a lot of water before a meal. I'm ready for the fill so that I will feel full.. let's hang in there together

2 weeks post op!! I find that after meals , a few hours later I'm hungry ,stomach growling .. I have my 1st fill next Thursday..will this help with the hunger pains?
