Wow Kacee I can't wait! My portions is much much smaller. Even with liquids I feel like a water baloon somtimes and that is an awful awful feeling. In the mornings or my menustration is a mess! Tight, tight tight! I cannot tell you the last time I finished a cup of coffee. Before the band I would drink at least 24 ounces of coffee a day. Even when I have my wine I can only get a glass(nice size) and a half down if that much! I love chicken and usually I could eat about 4-5 pieces. Ha try one or two now and it takes me forever. Fyi eating slow takes all the fun out of being a ferociously hungry. When I'm out with friends they look at me like dont you want another drink? I really really am starting to see why I was fat in the first place. OVERINDULGENCE AND SPEED EATING! Uh no unless you have a mop for when I explode. Being on solids is really teaching me alot.

You mean I'll be able to eat less than I eat now? Oh my goodness I'll be a size 7 in a weeks time! I am still having some restriction. I eat way less than before. I am just wondering what to expect after the first fill. I love meat and I bet I will not be able to have it post first fill.

Yeah I have alot of allergies as well. I'm allergic to everything!!!!!!!!! eegs fish gumbo tomatoe shellfish asian food most ethnic food mayo anything that contains eggs squash spicy foods peanuts and anything that contains them. all animals that shed fur grass,trees,pollen,dust,air frshner,incense,candles(i adore candles) smoke perfume perfumed soaps,detergents dye of any kind strong hairsprays wool polyester I'm a mess basically. I often wondered why I was fat! Oh yeah lots of meat and cheese!

I get the runny nose too. I also do like a silent hiccup. Weird!

You will be fine. The band will only allow you to eat so much.

When I asked my doc what kind and what size band I have he said I read too much!

None at all! I was in by 730am and out by 9am. I went home at 1pm the same day. I even went to the pharmacy for my meds. I was in quite a bit of pain for the first week but I dealt with it. Or should I say vicodine dealt with it.

Julie honey I know it's possible. It's just that you have to choose wisely. Me with my fat arse and all love pretty men. I'm a pretty woman fat but pretty. Anyone can get a man but it's the quality I'm looking for. In my twenties I was up and down with my weight so I dated all types of pretty men. Some arseholes,playas.mamas boys,nut jobs even a few unattractive men. I gave them chances and loved a few but it was rarely returned. I prefer the entire package. I'm 31 now and I have too much on my plate now to deal with a mans bs. Yes even at 200 plus pounds I want it all. I feel like other woman have their ideal mate and they are not half the woman I am(not size wise but quality wise) so why can't I? When you have been hurt enough you learn from your mistakes especially being a big gurl/teanager/ woman with low self esteem. Alot of boys/men play on that. I know I need to lose weight but I dont need some undeserving,self serving piece of a man to remind me of it everyday. I could very much remind him of his imperfections as well. Instead I would encourage,console,nurture and completely go blind when it came to his. I'm down on myself enough! When I get to goal gurl they better watch out because I'm going to be dangerous!

So thats why I can eat more now. I have lost 23 pounds in within five weeks. This is my 4th week post-op and I was able to eat two pieces of pizza. I felt so bad but I was so hungry and craving it. I have been doing so good too. I think maybe I have been stressed out do to my daughter being in the hoospital this entire week. The chemo is really kickin her but. She's only 11 ya know. So we had movie night at the hospital. Than I ordered a thin crust pizza hoping it would cheer her up. She's been throwing up everything and in pain from her white count being so low. Did I mess up? My fill date is in two weeks. Plus tom is finally here after a week of horrible cramping and craving! Does anyone have any calgon?

I am so glad your mom is ok. You'll do fine on the stress test. Try not to worry or stress out because your bp will rise and you dont want that. Godd luck friday honey!

It's nice to have someone to love you for you. It has not been so easy for this big gurl. I mean I have dated my share of aholes who tear down big gurls. Most of the men I'm attracted to only use big gurls one way or another or play with their hearts. The ones I am not attracted to usually never go away. Some men even feel better about themselves the more unattractive you are to other men. The minute I lose weight the chubby chasers become intimidated immediately. People often think because you are fat you should be happy to have any man and that is often what I see my big friends deal with which is why I remain single. If I can't have unconditional love I'd rather be alone. People change every day and with any positive change love should remain.

Swimmer you dont have any restriction? I'm four weeks out this friday and even though I can eat more that the first two weeks I still have restriction.

What about phentermine

Not yet. I go for fill october 4th. Should I wait?

Hey wasa. My surgeon post-op diet was like this. One day clear liquids. Full liquids one week. Mushies one week general diet the next. I'll be a month out this saturday. I am still cramping and no tom! I know one day I was so tight and cramping so bad I wanted to cry. By nightime I was finally able to eat. This band is definately a learning experience.

You haven't been banded that long. I thought slips came from overeatig or out eating the band.

How did you get a leak in your port?

yeah ladies it is crazy! I wouldn't trade it either. I am still in the learning faze. Often I'm afraid to try different foods for fear they will not go down. Oh well what can I say?

but not others? I usually like to have devil ham and a few saltines which goes down fine. Last night it went down like a gym shoe! Man the pain was terrible. I tried lying down but it was worse. It was only for a few minutes but man!!!!!!!!!! Help!

Man wasa I tried to eat my lunch and I could only eat like a mouse. This bites big time! I went for a mile walk. I'm not sure why because I haven't ate much! Coffe is bad? My surgeon said it was ok? It's cool either way. Right now I'd like a ibuprofen 800 and a shot of tequila! A punching bag with my exhusbands face on it and some midol.

Hi janie. I'm three weeks out and no fill and yes it is still restricting me. I'm not sure when without a fill will it stop but it hasn't yet.

I have a suggestion. Never tell him you are craving anything. If he offers say I'm not honey but thanks. Continue to do this and he will know you mean business!

226 and counting down. I'm hoping to be 220 by next week. Must increase walk!

Hi green! Gurlie I felt like a water balloon last night. Today I'm aching in my back. I can't wait until tom leaves. I have pcos so sometimes my cramps are ok and other times not.

What about back ache on the same side as the port area? I have a mild back ache. I dont know if it's gas,from walking alot or what.
