OK final call for all who's coming tomorrow!!!! I need an answer by tonight so I can figure out a time and place! I'm thinking noon still for a picnic! Not sure of the place cause I don't know a lot of parks. There is one close by my house which is on crismon in between southern and Broadway u can also give me ideas of other places too! If you plan on coming send me a private message and I will send u my number so we can text or call each other to make it easier! I'm perfectly fine with that!

Mine was gas pain or not breathing deeply enough. If u can suffer through the pain try and take some deep inhales with your hands above your head and see if that will help. Thats what helped me.

Hey sorry you've been sick! Glad you're back! Yes sat is still a plan. That sounds good. I will def let u know a time and place once I find out how many are coming and where they are coming from. Suggestions are good too haha yeah so do I!

Good luck! See ya on the other side! ;+)

Thanks!

Well I've made it 2 months post op and im down 27lbs! haha its now starting to get challenging as I can officially eat basically whatever I want! Bandster hell officially began a couple of weeks ago. Lol I'm sure I'd be down a few more pounds but I'm such a sweet tooth person and was doing great then my bday celebration came and I had a few of them. Didn't do too bad when I flew back home to see my family but on Superbowl Sunday I celebrated my actual bday and there were a ton of sweets here granted I did good cause I didn't eat them all but I did eat them throughout the week. I'm ashamed now about it I wished then I had more willpower this week has been much better though. Haven't really felt hungry til about lunch time which will help me today... I have an abd ultrasound and have to fast for 6 hours. Was supposed to eat by 7 this morning. Ummm didn't happen.... my only fears now is to be able to make it til 1 without eating cause ive been getting hungry around 11 another is trying to catch up on my water intake cause Im only supposed to take sips with meds til after my ultrasound and lastly not pigging out after my ultrasound cause I will be starving. Def need to listen to my band so when I'm satisfied I will need to stop so I don't overeat. I've df been fighting head hunger the past couple of weeks. Some days are better then others as I can fight it some days.

That's awesome!!!

Congrats and good luck!

Congrats! How precious!

Good luck and congrats! I live in mesa!

Congrats!!!

You can go onto lapband.com they have a ton of recipes for each consistency and they are pretty tasty!

Yeah completely normal feelings.... everyone has the second guess thinking. It just occurs at different times for each person! I slept in the recliner the first week. It was the only way I was comfortable and could get up on my own. Then I moved to the bed propped up on pillows eventually I tried laying on my belly where it was actually the most comfortable cause it our pressure on it. The only hard thing was rolling off of it and getting up. Just lay where you're most comfortable. Odds are u won't screw anything up by the way u sleep! But just to reassure u again what you're feeling is completely normal!!!

OK sounds good... idk if they are or not! I don't care if they do that's why I thought the park would be good!

Yes it could be that or it could be gas pain or it could be swelling all which is normal.

You're welcome and that's normal too. I asked the same questions every time something new happens! It def nice to have this forum!!!

Looking great! How hard has it been to keep it off? Do u still have days where u want to just eat "bad"?

OK everyone I really want to meet up next Saturday around noon for a picnic at the park or we could have a dinner picnic. Which time is better for everyone? Please let me know so we can actually get together this Saturday the 16th! Its so hard to plan on here that's why I'm asking in advance. :-) Btw how is everyone doing?

Yay you found us!!! U can still meet up with us even before your surgery!

OK will do. The forum is in the local support. Its called anyone in the mesa area?
