Thanks everyone! I was definitely to tight! Went back to dr and feel better!!!

Tight??

If the band is supposed to control my hunger then, it's not. Was I not clear in my note? My doctor asks me can you eat a hamburger with bread ( not DID you, COULD you) so that's my benchmark. I can still eat a hamburger if I wanted to which is why I feel something may be wrong. I'm at 7cc and have a 10 cc band.

Anyone still hungry after fills? I feel like the fills aren't really working. I'm definitely eating less then before the band but I can still eat way to much.

Has this happened to anyone? Does it mean my band may be to tight? I had a fill Wednesday and have had diarrhea, cramping since. Is it just a coincidence?

I had pizza tonight. I had one piece and chewed it very well. Yesterday was my first day on solids. I was fine.

I've never had issues with low blood pressure. Did anyone start issues with it after the band?

I don't feel dehydrated but definitely eating a lot less! Maybe I need Vitamins? ?? Thanks ladies !

Anyone have dizzy spells?

Thanks! I actually saw my doctor yesterday and he told me I could begin solids. I'm pretty sure I just ate way to fast and didn't chew enough! I guess I need to adjust to a new way of eating. It was super painful!

I ate solids for the first time tonight. I had lettuce and tuna. I'm in pain, have to keep spitting, and puked. Is this normal? When will I feel better?

I was more scared of after surgery and how I would deal but I looked at my 7 month old daughter. It is so important to me to be her role model and teach her that this is not an acceptable way to live.

I have a rash also! I think it's from the iodine they put on my stomach before the surgery. I have an appointment tomorrow and will find out more.

Use the crystal light already in the Water. Such a treat!

What is slime?

What is slime?

So I made this yesterday and was in heaven. I've felt so deprived until now! I thought I'd share incase anyone else needs a pick me up.

I put 5 sugar free Popsicles in a blender with some raspberry lemonade crystal light. It's like a fruit smoothie!!!

Day 6 post op and feel sooo much better!!! The first 3 days were tough! Thanks everyone!

Oh no! I love beer.

Thank you everyone for your support. I know no one that has done this so I have no one to ask questions to. This is a great forum!

Thank you!

I had my surgery yesterday and where they put my port is very painful. I've had 2 c sections and its just as painful. Is that normal?
