Georgia Girl I'm in the same boat as you. I need to buy new bras too, but just HATE to shop for them. I'm in the last hook of mine and they still are loose. Goin to the mall this weekend, UGH!!!!!!

Terry in my post op package, it stated that a glass of wine before dinner will help to relax your band and was ok. But no more than one glass!

Oh yeah I had the same problem when I started my liquid diet. I lived on gas-x and anti diarrheal pills!!! I got the chewable ones. But it has all been worth it...

Chubbydiva, If you are still having problems, just give your Dr a call and they can order it for in liquid form. I had the same problem and got the liquid. Good luck, you are on your way !!!!

YES!!! Please post your diet. I'm struggling to get my scales to move. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for this thread!! I was on 3 b/p meds twice a day, now I'm down to 2 once a day...Also if you are on cholestrol, triglyceride or diabetic medications, don't forget about blood work. These change quickly too... Good luck to all of us!!!

Holy Cow!!! :omg:I am right there with everyone else, FREEZING... I have been wearing a sweater at work all day long and turn on my heater under my desk almost every day. This has never been me, I'm always hot..I live in extreme southeast GA and it hasn't even been 32 degrees yet. :eekI was in New Orleans at my BFF's for Thanksgiving & thought I would freeze to death. Guess I need to move further south for the winter! :confused:

I've had 2 fills so far and my Dr. also feels for my port. He freezes the spot, which stings a little, but he's had no trouble hitting the port. I'm very confident in him and he is very gentle. So far I have really good restriction with this fill!!!:clap2:

My Dr. said no carbonation or straws from here on, because of the gas, bloating and excess air (from the straw). Said nothing about erosion or slippage, just that 1. not good for you 2. unncessary discomfort. Makes sense to me. So far I've listened to him...

I' ve been able to eat almost anything except salad, as I had no restriction. That was until my 2nd fill on Thurs. Now I finally have restriction:) Thurs nite and Friday all I had was liquid, couldn't handle anything else. Today when I got up I was VERY tight feeling, so I've had coffee, 1 protein shake, 2 shrimp, 3 small chicken nuggets and about 10 green beans!!!! I'm trying to get the 2nd protein shake down now. Finally I AM NOT HUNGRY!!! :clap2: I hope it lasts........

I'm still here... Had a fill yesterday! Time will tell:)

Well, I'm in the same boat as most. I have very very little restriction and can eat ANYTHING!!! :hungry: My scales have not moved since my last Dr visit!! :faint: However, I go today at 2pm for my 2nd fill!!!:clap2: I pray this will give me restriction and I will be on the losing side again. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I WAS BORN IN: BLACKSHEAR, GA AND GREW UP IN: BLACKSHEAR, GA I MOVED AWAY FROM HOME WHEN/BECAUSE: 1976 Married DH SINCE THEN I'VE LIVED: JACKSONVILLE, FL; BATON ROUGE, LA; KINGSLAND, GA I TRAVEL AS OFTEN: To my BFF's house in Louisiana FARTHEST I'VE EVER BEEN FROM HOME IS: San Francisco, CA BEST VACATION EVER, THAT I'D REPEAT IN A HEARTBEAT: Traveling cross country from Atlantic to Pacific in our motorhome. WORST VACATION EVER, THAT WILL HAUNT ME TIL I DIE: They've all been good. DREAM VACATION IF TIME AND MONEY WERE NO OBJECT: Travel to all of the South Pacific Islands with my kids and gran's SPECIAL PLACE I NEVER GET TIRED OF GOING BACK TO: New Orleans and Key West

Just figured out what the CRAZY ATES are...:confused: I would love to be added to the list!!!:clap2:

I'm from coastal SE Georgia, actually 500 ft. from the (river) Florida state line.

I've had the same pinch you describe. However, I had to keep my 7 month old granddaughter for 4 days and 3 nights... I think that was my problem. Did u ask your DR?

Betsyjane, OMG!!!!! Thank u sooooo much for the post... I 2 was dying with reflux, but never thought about the sweetners!!! I stopped them and my reflux is GONE!!!!:clap2: WOOO HOOO :whoo:

Do they know you had the lapbaand done? If they do, let them know u are following your post op diet that was designed for you. If they don't know tell them whatever u want them to know and nothing more. All my co-workers knew I had the lapband and they are very supportive.

Hello GA Bandsters!!! I'm from Kingsland, GA and was banded 8/13. Having my 1st fill tomorrow 9/13, am a little nervous. So far down 20 lbs... Wish me luck!!

yes he's at st vincent's... i live in ga (just over the line) and i wanted to use st vincent's.

I was banded by Dr. Chappano on August 13. I just love him and his staff. They are very caring and supportive. Going for my first fill Thurs Sept 13. Wish me luck...

I told everyone, cause it's my life, my decision, and my body!!!!

Oh yeah, I'm in BANSTER HELL!!! :cry I'm starving.... I do have some restriction, and feel like I have to burp all the time. My stomach is growling and I want to EAT!!!! :hungry: I'm hanging in there, but my will power is getting less and less. I have my 1st fill Sept 13th. The scales have stopped moving. I pray that my fill will give me restriction...
