  1. I am still a very new lap band baby. I was just banded on 5-12 and I am already making big mistakes and needed a mentor to help me understand things. I am not looking for approval to do what ever I want. I made that mistake by eating real food when I am supposed to be on mushy. I have no concept of time. really I do. I need someone to say to me STOP THAT! Do it this way, I am scared I messed my band up because I had real food at this stage. I don't want to have another surgery, I fell like a looser right out of the gate. since my first follow up appointment with the doctor that was the Friday after my surgery. I have not lost one pound, Anyone want to try to help me? Did I hurt the band, I am appalled at my behavior. absolutely disgusted. Anne Marie Elias

    I would LOVE to have a new buddy / Mentor or two

    Thanks y'all :-) I didn't realize this time was healing and not to really worry about weight loss. I thought I had to drop a bunch of weight the first few weeks or the doctor would be very upset at me. I was really upset because I had my colon removed in 2012. So things usually just really go through me really fast. I usually have to go 3-9 times a day (No bag they hooked the end of my small intestine to the rectum) and I was worried because I didn't go for a day. But all is running (Pun Intended) really well. LOL I still would like friends who can give me the ins and outs of this journey - words of wisdom and guidance pople I can come to with questions. :-) Hugs AM
  6. I was wondering if anyone else had a change in the way food tastes and smells since they have gotten their band or am I the only one and need to be checked by my primary care. Thanks Anne Marie Elias

    Change in food taste

    Oh good, I thought I was the only one who had taste changes in some food. Some I loved, when I smell them I want to barf.

    Can we say rip off ? Need others opinions, please

    My doctor had me sign a paper before surgery that stated after my 90 day bubble, fills will be $500 each visit. They told me several times that would be the cost. I am hoping I reach the Green Zone before my bubble is up.
  11. I lost a total of 20 pounds between the 2 week bariatric shakes (lost 10pounds) and my first follow up with my surgeon (another 10) he was so excited. Now I gained 3 pounds back and I can't figure out how. I really want to make some friends here who can poke me with a sharp stick every once in a while! I am a 49 yr old female who doesn't look like i weight as much as I do. I have a weird sense of humor and love to laugh! I need zome guidance on the eating portion s lol and encouragement for exercise. Talk to y'all soon! Anne Marie

    Change in food taste

    Wow! There may be something to that story after all! Lol thank you for sharing that. I will ask my mom more questions. My Aunt Fran was working on the family tree but when she passed away I am not sure who ended up with all the research. Now I really want to know!
