Do you think the doctor at LVH will do the fills ( im a half an hour away)??? i had my band done in michigan.... if not where are you getting filled?

Im all depressed too. I am totally hating myself everyday. I lost 18 lbs in the first week post op, then gained them all back ( i refuse to update ticker because im so f*ing pissed) and im only 4 weeks post op. Anyways im hungry as hell and im eating too. Ive gotten myself in this funk that when i eat breakfeast i dont want to stop! i consume pretty much all of my daily calories during the first hour or two that im awake because im just that hungry. I think my body is just overstarving from the first couple weeks of liquids and mushies. Anyways i dont know how im going to get out of this funk because everyday i wake up and do it i get more depressed and then my emotional eating likes to chime in. Anyways, i just lost my job too, i have no idea how im going to pay my bills..... :confused:

ohh!! i thought of another favorite of mine... sugar free jelly/jam... yummie!

i like to used flavored applesause or yogurt

thanks, i will try that

I started mushys on thursday... since then i threw up twice. At first i thought it was how fast i was eating... so i slowed down. At first that seemed to work. Then i threw up again, i figured it was the food... i wasnt ready for it. But today i threw up off of cottage cheese(which i have had b4 w/o problems). Now im just confused. I AM hungry, but at this point im afraid to eat because things that work sometimes dont others... long story short- i dont want to have my band slip. I am beyond confused because i dont even KNOW what to eat.... what the heck am i doing wrong???

ok, im guilty of the curse words too my offenders are-- oh shi*t

Hey, Today i am two weeks post op, when i came home from the hospital i was down 10 lbs. Then i continued to loose another 8. Well yesterday i got on the scale and i was up 2.5 making me 162.5. Well then i get on the freakin scale today and im back to 168.9!! What the hell am i doing wrong. If anything i was eating less the past couple days - due to me feeling like crap- I feel like im fricken defying physics right now.... almost 9 lbs in two days! Ive been counting calories too and at best ive had like 1200 cal. Any input?:(

i waited 8 days... and i guess the built up tension got to us.. lol... i was sore in my port area because ill be honest that wasnt what i was thinking about! we did it in the car with him on top, and yes it was rowdy... hope i didnt flip my port or anything stupid like that!

calunda, when and who is doing your surgery at harper?

Wow! thats awsome.... way to go!

it def. makes me look thinner

Thanks guys for the great ideas!

I have a history of emotional eating, and binge eating. Of course right before surger(no pre surgery diet) i was going crazy due to stress and stuff. Well suprisingly i was able to stick with the liquids so far, but now that im getting into mushies which i guess is more like a food, im starting again! i cant help myself!!! i thought the restriction would help me be able not to binge, but it hasnt. Are there coping mechanisims i can use to help me get rid of this habit? if i dont im sure ill screw up my band soon! Also if ther are any former binge eaters/emotional eaters i would love to hear from you, and how you got over it, or trying to! Im so bummed- i started gaining again.....:think

Northeast Pennsylvania in the POCONOS!

Hey, Im one week out- do you think that my incisions are closed enough to start putting antibiotic cream, or mederma on them?

Hey guys hang in there. I got banded on a thursday and went back to school and work on that following monday. i was a bit under the weather but could deal with it. By tuesday i was great. I get better everyday. I still do take tylenol PM to sleep tho!

Diddo- i was banded the 11th and my first solid made its apperence yesterday :clap2::clap2: LoL hang in there!

Actually really good! i cant even tell that i had the surgery a week ago. Now my issue is im starting to get hungry. So i cant wait until i can get a fill when im healed.

thanks, i appreciate it tons!

it was just jello, but i think it was like too cold and solid.. like i feel pressure in the back of my throat.. kinda like a lump

if something doesnt agree with you how long until you PB?! i feel weird after eating, im wondering if an onset of a pb is coming??????

no heavy lifting for a 2 weeks, i cant feel it at all, i didnt go to mexico... lol, slippage is when the band moves out of place. You know if u have slippage because you get really hungry all of the sudden

YAAAYYYYY!!! you will be soooooo happy!!! Best of luck!

I have a great idea. I think that we should set up an exchange among ourselves!!!!! I mean how perfect. We are all different sizes and constantly changing! Of course it should be free. What do you guys think????
