  1. Hello everyone! Haven't been on here in months!!! I was banded January 25th 2013 and last time I checked ( need new batteries for my scale lol ) I was down 45lbs...am I being stubborn for thinking this is slower process than I thought ? lol :S well that being said... im having a REALLY hard time eating....I am sliming almost all the time... at least once a day... I do have 4 young children and am on the go all the time and so I wonder if its just first bite syndrome every time ? or if I should go get defiled a little.. but I went in for a 2nd fill because I plateaued for like 3 months :S.... hope yall are doing well!!! excited to get back on here and start reading how everyone is doing and look at the pics! God bless !


  2. i started solids today and i definately over did it :( trial and error i guess ) my husband brought me a small chicken shawarma for lunch and i thought i was taking my time... i didn't eat all of it but afterwards and up until now (3 hours later) and im still hurting like chest area? has this happened to anyone? and i keep belching... like a lot!!!!! (tmi sorry) any tips on how to know when youre full without feeling that full feeling?!!?


  3. hello everyone! i was banded on january 25th and have lost 21lbs so far since the pre-op diet :) recovery is going well.. gas pain all gone thank goodness and just began the mushies stage..... tonight for some reason i am in great pain on my left side....not where my port is but further back.. when i breathe in its a killer :( i am getting worked up on googling stuff to see what this could possibly be... so i decided to come on here and ask ya'll for your help before rushing to the emergency(my anxiety takes toll of me so im just trying to calm myself :( ) .... has anyone ever had this???


  4. speaking of pizza.... i am 7 days post op and my husband just ordered pizza..... i had a mushroom soup... its so hard but im very surprised at how well i am handling it... i even served it to them! with dipping sauce and pop.....aaaaahhh so i came to hide in my office to eat lol but thanks for sharing ashchap13 so now we have great ideas!!! :)


  5. Hahaha kids! My little one isn't sleeping his nights either but thank goodness the same night after surgery he started sleeping 4 hour stretches (was 2 before) so that helped a bit since i wasnt able to help but i been getting up the last 2 nights with my husband to make bottle and change diaper.. I am feeling really hungry for the first time today ugghh!! Anyone eles hungry?so far no gas pain at all today and abit sore where my port is


  6. Yes we are all on the same boat.. But each day is getting better and we will be enjoying dinner with our family again very soon! Yesterday i forced myself to sit at the table with my family while i had chicken broth and they had chicken stir fry... It was hard but no one said it was going to be easy... The weight that is coming off so quickly is worth waiting My 4 yr old daughter was with me when i went to stock up on baby food and she asked me if it was for Logan(4month old) i explained as clearly as a 4yr old couuld understand of course,that it was for mama..we get at the cash and she starts saying to the cashier that the baby food is for her mama and the cashier(and others in line) laugh and say "oh u silly girl" she responds" mama tell them its true its for u right" lol i just laughed and was like "yes of course babe!" ;) annie is ur little one sleeping through the night??


  7. Already noticeably losing weight blondie woot woot thats awesome! Ohhhh how sweet of ur hubby txmamaof3! What i miss the very most is cooking dinner for my family and enjoying our family time at the dinner table :( i have a husband and 4 young children and i feel "disconnected" from them all latey :(


  8. how you ladies feeling today ? i feel much better... went out and did a bit of shopping.. still have some trapped gas in my shoulder thats a pain! and my port incision is still sore also.. and curvyderm it makes my stomach feel bad too.. like when you feel inside moving...i dunno... ive always had quite the sensitive stomach when it came to things like this so when i switch sides when im in bed and i can feel something where my port is.. makes me feel sick :S hey did anyone else get a fill during the surgery?? my surgeon told me they gave me a fill to give me a head start???


  9. so my husband crushed my meds in a spoon with honey and Water and it was actually mmmm lol the gas pains in my shoulders and neck is waaayyyy better than yesterday! my port incision is still really sore and im soooo thirstyyyy... i wanna chug down some cold cold water but i know small slow sips... lol.. glad to hear everyone is doiing well and thanks everyone for the tips and encouragement etc! i had a "moment" last night where i just thought " aaahh man why did i go and do this" but im over that now! i keep coming on here every time i wake up to see how everyone is doing and stuff for motivation!


  10. anniearr yesss!!! that was me! lol looks like we're pretty much all going through the same pains... i still need help getting in and outta bed also.. my bed is very high off the ground so i borrowed one of my kids step thingies to help me get on and off my bed... the meds they prescribed me also put me to sleep but thats ok... i really want to chug down a cold glass of Water or gatorade but i know... small and slow sips... i fill my mouth with cold cold water and then spit it back out (sorry tmi)


  11. Yay I'm on the other side!!! Had surgery yesterday morning... The first night was alright with the pain meds... i woke up like 3-4 times but had some good zzzzz once i fell asleep again... the only thing really bothering me is this gas pain uggghh but heat is awesome to eliviate some pain and the port incision is what really bothers me... how do ya'll take your medications? ive crushed them and mixed with Water and then with a bit of gatorade but ewwwwww its so gross.. any other options ??
