After my surgery when I went to the dr visit I hadn't lost either. because of the Protein drinks.I started watching what I was eating and drinking from then on.and you really have to exercise.well at least I do.

it was probably gas trapped from the surgery because it went away.

The reason your not losing could be due to what your eating. Eat all natual.see if that works for you. your scales say you have lost *)lbs.it dont add up!

I had surgery april 26th and dont burp still.and i get a pain on and off in mid of my back..Does anyone else have this?

Has anyone developed a on and off pin in theback since being banded? Ive had it often since being banded april26,although tylenol helps.I just wonder if its coming from the band?

What are you wanting to drink?

Im not hungry though. I am used to this diet. Banders probably eat more than I do. I dont even eat a thousand calories now .Are you saying im gonna eat way less than that? I had 1 fill so far. thanks for your imput though.

Im 48 years old and have been on a diet since feburary.I was banded april 26th and im still eating the same half of bowl of Cereal for Breakfast and either tuna or chicken for lunch and chicken or fish for dinner with a little veggies.well I was allready eating like this. and its just like im not banded.if i dont walk a hour on the treadmill and work my but off all day or i wont lose anything at all. Ive gone through menopause 6 years ago.Yes ive lost 30 lbs. but that was before the band.why is it so hard?

why wont my burps come up and out? I was banded 2 and a half weeks ago.And my right back hurts between my shoulder blade and rib area .I think its from the trapped burps.Does anyone know anything about this or what to do about it?

who drinks and how often and how much? how did you deal with hangover? wondering in case way down the road I go out sometime.

I was told like gum it can get stuck.

What do you drink when you go out to clubs or partys? How did you deal with a hangover since your not supposed to vomit?

you have depression from it right?? tell your Dr

I was told no more popcorn.do any of you still eat popcorn?

I cant either,its like it gets pushed in the bottom stomach and stays there,,i started getting a pain in my back right. i think there connected to the gas.

i liked the sugar free jello.and crystal light. the second day my dr allowed me to have Tomato soup/

Hi I have had acid reflux for years even affecting my vocal chord.I had it before I got banded but after banding the stomach got better but it was worse in my throat /vocal chord.so i went back to my stomach dr and he has me alternating omneprozole before Breakfast then sulcrafate before lunch then omneprozole before dinner and finish up at the end of the day with sulcrafate before bed and my voice is sooo much better.try this i think it will help you.let me know.I know how it is to suffer withh this.

hi and i was banded 2 weeks ago. i wasnt losing either and was eating like you small amounts and healthy stuff well.I got my first fill which i really cant even tell. anyway i hadnt bgeen walking a lot or getting on the scales everyday so i started walking my treadmill yesterday.i split the walk equaling 45 minuites and tried to stay a little busier and i lost 2 lbs yesterday.i also quit putting those sugarfree sweetners in my water.and from now on i will get on my scales daily so i will know whats going on with my body.whatch out for the mushy stuff and soup.i think it also makes it hard to lose.keep me imformed.goodluck from allie

Ladybug you will definently be fine.I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today and I was totally freaking out to the point that my daughters almost had to drag me there.Im a sissy.Its a quick surgery.Make sure you take stool softner after a couple days.a week after my surgery i was seriously constipated really bad.I had to take dolcolax suppository and lay down 45 minuites then it worked.dont let it come to that. Now im doing great and yu definently will be too.Let me know tomorrow how it went.allie

Excuse my mispelling of any words like in my previous post.Im such an idiot lol.Well my preop diet was only 5 days because my dr had to go out oftown. i drank 4 chocolate slimfast 20 gram Protein Drinks and a small chicken breast. it was fine.I started trying to get approved in january at 242 pounds and i got surgery 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Had my first fill today.im on liquids till tomorrow.then i can eat mushies. you will be fine.and congradulations on your approval.

I think its great that today it was on the news that the governor got lapband.

I got my first fill today and was banded two weeks tomorrow. I am on liquids today only and mushy food tomorrow then the next day regular food.Im hungry too . Do you always have to go that long on liquids and mushies after all your fills the past year? I also wonder how many fills have you gotten and are you happy you got lapband?

thanks and let me know what happened today getting your first fill.

Thanks everyone for your imformation.I read on here people saying they cant waite to get another fill. Im wondering how did it feal mentally to leave with your fill.was the amount you could eat drastically different than before you went in for the fill that day? Were you happy and satisfied or were you like omg i cant eat abything this is awful?Did you feal depressed or deprived or happy and relieved? was it what you expected?

I met my Dr the first time the day of surgery.I just wanted to hear from someone that knows what its like mentally to go through the changes that a fill gives. Is it a good fealing or did you get depressed because you couldnt eat like a normal human being any longer. was it a drastic difference? Ater I reach a happy weight can i get unfilled? And if I start to gain go get filled again ?
