I was banded on 7/1. It took at least 3 weeks to sleep well (pain meds of course). This to shall pass. I recommend staying in a very cold room. That worked for me. Just relax and little by little it will get better. I still have port pain & my dr said it will take at least another 2-3 months of port moments. Good luck and congratulations

What a great moment. So happy for you. May your progress continue.

Hello everyone. I had my first fill this weds. Had no problem with water or ground beef I had for dinner. It was when I took my meds that it went bad. I was stuck for a while. Next day had shakes & water no problem again got stuck on jut one small pill. What a horrible experience. I had pineapple juice, water, walked, hands up, jumped till 4 hrs later. Well, my question is could the fill be too much? Does the fill loosen up light a new pair of shoes? What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Be patient, it will go down. Good luck

Be careful, about a month after being banded i hadron click shake (with coffee) and I felt I was on speed. I haven't had coffee since I'm waiting for next dr appt.

I'm getting to the frustrated phase wondering if I'm eating a quarter of what I used to eat and feel a lot better then why doesn't the scale show. Today I reminded myself of a comment made by a person on this board "it took a while to put it on, a while longer to take it off". But hey, I'm human & I want to shout sometimes. Then I go to this board to calm down. Thanks guys

I had the most delicious salad today & I ate it like filet miñon. Ate protein first but old habits are hard to break of mixing it up. Also, chew chew & chew some more.

A good 3-4 weeks. Take it easy, relax & sleep. Feel better congratulations

Can't wait to try it.

While @ universal Orlando I went on the Jurassic park ride 3x's and my ovaries were in my throat. I feel your pain. If it persists call dr. That happened to my ex & it wasn't good. But have faith.

I love the lasagna cup: fat free ricotta, 3 turkey meatballs, skim milk mozzerella cheese, a little pasta sauce, 2 minutes in the microwave and víola: awesome!!! Oh, hungry girl recipes are next on my list.

Thanks for sharing. I am getting some great ideas. I did notice that when I went from 800 to 1000 calories, it jumped started me again. After 1 month I'm down 20lbs. Thank you God.

Congratulations. May your path be fast & easy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

@txsonicguy, yes she was angry but more scared. Now she's planning meals with me

I had a small salad & fresh fruit yesterday & I chewed chewed chewed like crazy.

Congratulations

I ran out of cottage cheese but used fat free ricotta, very very good. Thanks for sharing

Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing

Ooooooo. Please share any/all sites. Thanks

3 weeks out & mine still hurst sometime. Dr said that's to be expected until it's healed.

Some wise person on this blog said it took time to put it on, it will take time to take it off. It's slow & steady. I feel the need for instant success but one step at a time.

Hello everyone, I've gone nuts wondering if there is a daily menu planner or weekly when I get to regular food stage (next week)? I use my fitness to log my calories but I was curious if anyone can recommend a menu plan. I've found ones that give you better food choice & create a shopping list with recipes ideas but not one that's geared to wls. So confused. Help!!!
