I was banded on 9-20-07. Have lost 49lbs.:girl_hug:

:whoo:I'm glad that I'm not alone! I love u guys!!!! LOL!

Since surgery Sept. 20th I lost a total of 49 lbs. Scheduling another fill soon. Had my second fill on the 14th of Dec. but still feel kind of loose.

Hello Everyone~ I too fell victim to the "fixins" over the holidays. Boo-Hoo! Anyway, I do know that carbonated drinks are definitely a "NO NO". I even asked about ginger ale and was told that eventually it can make my band flip over because carbonation makes your stomach enlarge and causes gas. I had the flu and needed something to settle my stomach.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay I had thats how I got my fill done. Didn't know what it was called. Thanks!!!

OMG!!!LOL!!! My girls are depressed too!!! LOL! They are beginning to look completely different. I went and bought a more "sturdy" bra but now they seem to look like aircraft!!! I'm thinking that I may need to do more chest exercises to enhance them. Before its all over, I'm scared that I will end up sitting on them! LOL!!!

I love shrimp and have not had any problem with eating them. Just make sure you chew it well (30 times) and enjoy! Start out with bite size ones(salad) to see how well you do. Let me know how it goes!!!!

This may be a STUPID question....but what is flouro?

Thanks!!! I needed to hear that..................

I'm going through the exact same thing!!!! I haven't tried to eat a whole plate of food but gained 3-4 lbs over the holiday. :speechles I can eat alot more than 4 ozs.though. My 2nd fill is scheduled for 12/14 and I can't wait!! It feels like I can eat a cow! Lets work to get back on track before its toooo late!:nervous

I'm soo sorry that you are going through this~ but just to be on the safe side...I would seek help now. After a fill I am only to stay on liquids for 2 days....and you have covered a week...you do not want to dehydrate yourself. Let me know how things go......

I know the pre-op diet is extrememly hard but once you see those first couple of pounds starting to fall off...it will be soooo worth it. We all have been there and will help you through this. :whoo:

WELCOME!!!! Who is your doctor? I was banded at St. Mary's.

Hi~ I'm getting my first fill 2morrow....will update to let u know how I feel.
