Abundant

okay so my reply is to madamn so r u saying if you have too many fills that you can damage your esophogas? not sure on spelling. I too have only had two fills and am currently at 2 cc's please advise... Magnolia

De Larla I am so sorry to hear that your port incision never healed. I did not know that. Are you okay? Magnolia

Thanks for your reply but I just noticed that it says you had your port removed? May I ask why? You didnt have it that long ???

Hmmmmmmmmm now I am wondering if I have been doing something wrong here? I have been substituting with Pelligrino low carbonated water drink that was recommended in the after surgery booklet. I have no prob drinking it and I am banded at 2.cc presently. If I continue does this mean I will have erosion? Anyone out there know? Now I am confused for sure I thought I was doing the right thing.

Hmmmmmmm is that why this past year I have been growing hair in not the usual places??? geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez what else do I have to look forward to? LOL

thanks everyone................no worries about a change of life baby............

This is to all you ladies out there.........it has been well over a year and a half since my last menustration so I thought okay I am now in menopause but lo and behold nope.........I started again last night. My question is has this happened to anyone else after thier lapband? I have only lost 33 lbs since May of this year so it isn't like I have dropped a considerable amount of weight. I know weight loss and gain can affect your hormone levels but .......geeeeeeeeeez.......anyone out there have an answer for me??? Thanks. :cry

Yeah, if all else fails try the pnut butter even chunky kind.....for your Protein..its great..... Magnolia

Greg I dont know I only know I could not tolerate the mac and cheese due to being restricted but now I can eat it a little too easily....I am scheduled for a fill next wednesday so we shall see. I still cant eat bread which is good since it is one of my trigger foods..

This is quite interesting........all of a sudden I can eat mac and cheese why is that? Yeah, I know I shouldn't eat it but isn't it strange that I can now?? Anyone else discover this ??? Dunno.......

okay thanks everyone I do need to exercise more so maybe that is it I will start writing it down thanks again..........guess this means I am not ready to wear a thong yet huh??? LOL geeeeeeeeeez now there's a visual!!!!!!

To date it has been four months and three fills since my surgery total weight loss is 33 lbs from May 25- to today. Shouldn't I be losing more????

You mean all this time I could have drank water before my meals?

Has anyone noticed a change in thier drinking water before and after fills? I can now drink water a half hour before or after a meal is this okay to continue to do???

Thanks everyone! Again, point taken I need to get back on track.......I realize it must have been an emotional thing or hormonal take your pick....but ice cream goes down way too easy for me so now I know better. The funny thing is I really did not have a problem with it in the past prior to the banding it was mostly carbs..potatoe chips..salty stuff bread pasta that kind of thing that I clearly cannot eat now. It used to be I would really want the bread and pasta I craved it so now I look at it and say ouch that is gonna hurt going down so I look at it differently. Thank you everyone for your insight.....now I need to get back to exercising too...
