The two weeks are awful but I was able to eat a very lite salad at night with ground turkey and lemon juice for dressing , but I did it , however I was grumpy and didn't want to be around anyone cause I felt like the cartoons wher if I looked at a person I wanted to just chew them up lol also it seemed like every commercial on t v was about food or I would have to smell what they we're cooking so that didn't help but I did make it through , it's rough at first but you get thru it if u really want just follow the post op receipes and what the surgeon says and u will b alright .

Sick in so many ways, need a female's advice.
Debbie3sons replied to meyouus's topic in The Gals' Room
Did the Surgeon fix or talk to about A hiatial hernia , I know I didn't even know I had one till My surgeon said he was going to repair it , so when he did my band he also did the hiatial hernia now I don't get heartburn and I don't have the pain I used to in my pelvic region , I also don't gag at a word my kids or anyone would say which was( coagulition ) I don't know why but I would gag and sometimes even vomit if anyone used that word , now I can deal with it and it doesn't boter me , maybe u should talk with the surgeon that did ur band and ask him cause who knows what could be causing it , well as I have said before this is just a suggestion also let the band surgeon know what u can keep down and what u can't , then go from there I hope this was helpful . -
There is Support group in Orange County at Chapman Hospital I think ther is also one at U C I in Orange county by the Block , I do know there is one that meets at Placentia Linda I think either once a week or once a month u can find info if u go to Dr. Oliaks site even if he is not ur surgeon, I didn't know so many people we're that close to myself I have been looking for a support group I live in Lahabra , down by Brea Calif most people hear of Brea , but not Lahabra I am also real close to Fillerton ,Calif wow hope we can maybe find or get a group going, would be nice.

This is how normal people do it...
Debbie3sons commented on Terry Poperszky's blog entry in Terry Poperszky's Blog
Just goes to show we are all different and unique in our own ways , your wife sounds like a petite little woman , wow I just want to be at 135 lbs and I would be happy and she is only a 122 lbs . well good for both of u still going through this together somewhat for us bandsters it's just a lot harder than the norm that's why I said unique lol -
Just keep in mind MODERATION is key and only take a few bites also chew every piece very slow , please don't over do it unless u want to be in pain and of cours we feel guilty after we eat it , but then we just get back on track so remember where u were before the band and where u want to be after the band, this is just a suggestion u know u and I know me I have a 14cc band and have 91/2 cc filled in it till this Wed. then I think I am going to ask the Surgeon to fill my tire a bit more .

WARNING::: Girl Scout Cookie Time ;-(
Debbie3sons replied to 2muchfun's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Did u ask if they had any that we're sugar free or low in Calories or high in protein I love peanutbutter cookies or the coconut ones but I know it's a no no for me so I try to keep frozen yougurt & nuts around so I can get my sweet & salty I mean either sugar free or non fat frozen yougurt cause then I think it's Ice cream and I can have some fruit & nuts with it yumm so good but I don't think I will buy any girl scout cookies of course if I did I would just say to the hose ther's cookies and they would be gone in 60 seconds so I wouldn't have any trouble cause I wouldn't get any lol like most sweets in my house Oh did I mention I have teen age boys. -
Put lots of pillows behind u to help u out & when u start to feel uncomfortable then move one by oone or if sitting up haelps u sleep better then do that a lot of us had the same problem and make sure ur taking ur pain medicine the Doc gave u it will help u sleep also I know my liquid helped me so I hope what I said might help .

Please Be Respectful!
Debbie3sons replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
Thank you for posting this up I for one appreciate the info and support from positive people on here , I have not been able to find a support group close to where I live so I appreciate this site as it has helped me so thankyou . -
Listen to these people , but don't think u ever get rid of the gas some of us r pro at belching specially after we eat or before so let it out and don't hold back , some of get stuck episodes and can't stop belching for bout 5 to 10 min so just take it easy but do try to wlk maybe around for 5-10 min and see if it helps , after surgery that's why they make u walk cause they fill r bellys with air dutring the procedure so keep on belching just wait til u get the other gas lol sometimes , but try to take the suggestions they help.

Debbie3sons replied to akurre12's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Lol do u have a belt to tighten up the shirt or just pull it back so u and us can see how big the shirt is on u now I know my bra straps r starting to slip off my shoulders and I have a favorite pair of shorts but I can no longer wear them outside cause I might offend the neighbors if they fall while i'm walking , I like that u have lost 80 lbs , I was banded in Sept and have lost 50 , so hopefully I can do it u have given me more hope thanks I have 91/2 ccs in my big 14 ccs band so maybe I will get more of a fill when I go to the Docs again cause he is really good with me , he even asked me at our last appt if I wanted 3ccs or 1/ 1/2 ccs or just a half cause I was doing good , a few stuck episodes and only one slime so I guess that is o k , well good for u anyway and thankyou again for posting I like to read thes cause it REALLY gives me hope and helps me, -
I know the feeling right before I eat my stomach gurgles then after I eat abut a 1/2-1 hr. later I have to let go from the gas that builds up lol so I try to stay far away from people cause It just comes & goes lol it has a mind of it's own it seems like , but I am good after that and full for the 4-5 hrs. after I eat , but I do know that I am losing so something is working.

BRA PROBLEM!!
Debbie3sons replied to SkinnyCubanChick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Right above one of my incisions my bra hits so it feels like I have to itch and adjust all the time and it's right above my port whichis a little to the side and mine is a front closure , but for the first 2 months I wore a sport bra so I wouldn't have anything irritating me but now it's just once in a while and untill I get to my goal weight I am trying not to buy any clothes , however I have lost 50lbs n 5 months and my bra straps do slip off my shoulders lol so I adjust., just like I'm adjusting to losing weight and eating. -
I don't have the acid reflux or gerd any more since the Surgeon put the band in & repaired my Hiatial Hernia so I Haven't had this problem any more I am so glad cause I was tired of living on tums or prilosec and my pcp even had to prescribe a little pill to help with it before it was done cause I had it like evey night just thought I woild let u know , now I'm so glad I don't have to worry abut the burning sessation.

I'm a deli clerk at a grocery store surrounded by food & people so I know what the chef thinks lol but I don't eat chicken but I can sure fry it it's when I have to make sandwiches it gets to me cause I just want to taste half of the meat or avacodo or cheese or well u get the picture so I try to stay full so I don't want it lol,because my customers always come back and tell that was the best sandwich the've had then 2 days later they ask for the same thing , but yoo hoo I have lost 50 lbs since Sept so I guess I'm doing something right.

I think u really need to talk to the doctor and maybe a nutrinisit I haven't talked with a nutrinist but I eat whatever and I am losing weight cause people r letting me know I don't weigh myself everyday tho also I taljked with a Psychitrist before I could get the lapband because they wanted to know if I was ready in my own mind also some foods do get stuck so I DON'T EAT them anymore also I eat in small amounts and of course drink lots of water , well I am off to the docs for my third fill so hopefully u can get some answers from ur doc cause we don't have all the answers we are ALL DIFFRENT BODIES hope the journey gets better for u .
