I am so mad and frusterated lately - I have been suprising people with my emotions. I can't numb myself with food.

I recommend the book - The Beck Diet Soultion The title is misleading - it is not a diet, it is a way of helping you change habits and deal with your emotions.

Bali bras are the best, lots of places sell them. I love them and I am a 44 DD

It would be nice to have a section for pregnant bandsters or women that have the band and plan to be pregnant. I plan to have more kids and worry/wonder about what will happen with my band during pregnancy, delivery, breast feedding, etc. Will I need an unfill? Will I gain weight? etc, etc

I was thinking about buying a nutrition book on the internet. I have realized that since being banded I don't know what to eat, since all the crap I used to eat I can not. Not sure how to start, so many receipes to try, feel overwhelmed.

Lost 7 pounds pre surgery and 7 pounds in the month since surgery. Part of me thinks that is great and part of me is fixated on why I didn't loose any weight last week. I know I need a fill since I don't get full very quickly. Worked out three times last week. Not sure what will happen when I weigh myself on Sunday, what if I gain? ARRRGGGHHH

Get chewable Lactaid to eat right before you drink or eat something with dairy in it. It helps you digest it.

I am so stupid - I didn't think about what I was eating and ate some cold pasta with chicken. Some how it was o.k. due to the chicken. It all came back up about 10 minutes ago. My doc had said it was o.k. to start trying 'real" food. I was told to make pasta one of the last foods to try since most banded people can not tolerant it. AARRGHH!!! I didn't think - I feel do dumb. Have you guys had this happen? Now I am worried about how this will affect my band!!!! Comments and experiences welcomed!

I have been banded for one week and one day. I am burping and farting up a storm, so much gas is hurting me at times! Gas-X helps, walking more helps, rubbing my tummy and my back helps. Also a heating pad. When I was able to eat soft food I noticed that it lessened.

I am hurting from gas so bad I can not stand it. Pain meds don't help the gas pain. Call my doc today, what I am having is normal. I am taking gas-x, (still on liquid phase), walking, burbing and farting up a storm, cut out dairy in case that is causing it. HELP! Need more suggestions

I am six days post lap-band surgery. My chest hurts. Right where my bra would go? Is this normal? Has this happened to anyone else?
