Scared of being STUCK!
bluegudren replied to BandedKaela's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never got stuck until my 5th fill. Now I get stuck about once a day. Mostly bread! And hamburger. So I am back to eating fish and Soups mostly. Getting stuck is extremely painful. For me it lasts from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. I seem to be tightest when I wake up. Yogurt is my best Breakfast choice. It keeps me in check. -
Change in food taste
bluegudren replied to Anne Marie Elias's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my taste changed too. I used to eat sushi 3 times a week. Can't stand it now. Don't like milk or ice cream either, now. Same for avocados! Strange. -

Trying to get used to my Lap-Band
bluegudren replied to ddsweighin228's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It all sounds familiar. I was gaining and losing te same 4 lbs for 3 months. Then finally this last fill and I vomited and slimed and all the nastiness! I find that if I don't sip a bit when I eat I get stuck. For me seafood is the way to go. Sea bass, scallops, crab etc. hamburger is painful. So is chicken. Lost 7 lbs this last month so i think I am finally on track. -
FIRST TIME EVER TO GET STUCK! OUCH!
bluegudren posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OK, note to self: DO NOT EAT FRENCH BREAD WITH THICK CRUST! Holy bat man! That was so painful! I hat to jump up and down to get it to pass! Yikes! Now I know what "getting stuck" feels like. I guess I have been eating "slider food" this whole time. Fish, cottage cheese, yogurt, scallops, turkey and chicken go down just fine. -
Burping.....just wait for the constant farting! LOL I am 4 months post op, and it doesn't go away. Oh the things they don't tell you before surgery.

bluegudren replied to bluegudren's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It didn't happen to me. It was SOOOO painful. I was screaming! I jumped up and down and took a sip of Water, and it went down. I am assuming my usual diet is slider foods? Not good. I have had 4 fills already. -

I haven't slimed yet. What is that exactly? -
It has to be heated to dissolve.

How much weight did you lose in 4 weeks?
bluegudren replied to MozzaWehsha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 45. Surgery was 12/16/13. I lost 20 lbs Pre op. 35 total. I keep gaining and losing the same 5 lbs for the last 2 months. It's killing me! I am now 7.5 cc in a 10 cc band. My next appointment we will see if its leaking. Not thrilled. -

Have you tried almond thins? -

I used to do the Isagenix shakes, then I switched to unjury vanilla and chocolate, PLUS a canister of the unflavored Protein that I can add to a shake, OR I often add it to my tomato soups and cream of chicken soups. It's 90 calories and 21 grams of protein. You can even add it to coffee, but I don't drink coffee.

drinking too much
bluegudren replied to ddsweighin228's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 4 months post op. My Dr. is very slow with fills. So far, I have been able to eat anything, including bread. I try not to. The only thing I have a hard time with is hamburger. I go in tomorrow for another fill. I am able to chug an entire glass of Water at once with out a problem. I am thinking I am no where near the fill level I should be. My weight loss has been slow. MAYBE 4 lbs a month. -
Short, firm karate chops to the back and shoulders get the gas out immediately!
-
I used to eat 6 lbs at a time. I am stuffed at 2. I so miss the afternoons of eating crawfish all day! But this Is a good thing. The price of crawfish has doubled since last year! Lol. I will survive!

3 days post op pain & gas
bluegudren replied to 747heavy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Karate chops to shoulders and back for gas pain. Short and fast and not too hard. Gone instantly. -

Band rules you consistently 'break'?
bluegudren replied to ruthpets's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't eat with out drinking. Probably why my weight loss is so slow. -

Dang it! I missed the drama again! -
Next time just get a kids meal. . (I did that last week, and called it portion control). Tomorrows come every day! Don't beat yourself up over it.
