i havent been on here in forever i had forgotten the site addy, but luckily i got a email because of this thread, i am here though

Ty everyone. I asked the doc when i went for my fill he put in 1.6 cc which means im at 4.6 now. I am having some restriction. He pretty much wants me to stay away from starches. He even said on wheat bread to stay away. I am still eatting some but Im making sure its wheat like i have been doing for over a year now. Since my fill i have dropped from 283-278 so im feeling alot better now. But I still feel sometimes that I can eat like this morning for breakfast i ate 3 over medium eggs (cooked with pam not butter) and had no problem but that was the only thing i had so who knows.

I was banded back in aug started 317 now 286, my surgeon is not happy and i go for 2nd fill tomorrow, dr told me NO starches. what all does that entail??? HELP

Ok I was banded Aug 13th and Im going tuesday for my first fill. I had to wait so long due to testing positive for hpylori bacteria and having to do 2 wk treatment for that. I am scared and wondering what I should expect when I go. Any advice??

Hey yall. Im just popping in to see how everyone is doing. I have been more in chat than on the forums but Im trying to check in more often. Things have been ok. I am only down 12 lbs since surgery but 22 total. Im on a halt on the losing. But Im trying to kick it back into gear. Ill be glad when I get my first fill. I go aug 25th to start my treatment for Hpylori bacteria that I tested positive for. I have to complete the 2 wks of treatment before I can get my first fill. I am currently little under the weather. My 4 yr old was sick last week and I think she gave it to me. Im hoping it goes away cause Im gonna try to go out of town tomorrow but who knows if that will happen. I am gonna do my measurements later today and see what the difference is. This saturday makes my 1 month bandiversary. Yall take care and look forward to seeing updates.

Man I cant wait till i hit onderland. only 95 lbs to go till onderland and it will be hit lol.

Im gonna go sky diving when I reach my goal. Its something I really want to try and that will be my gift to myself. Along with shopping lol

umm as far as the meat i was told next week i could start slowly introducing real food. Just make sure i take small bites and chew very well. I was banded aug 13th. As far as sex we waited about a week hubby said.

girl of course im no help but i wanted to pop over and show u that im thinking of you. i love your siggie lol wink wink. wonder who made it lol. Love ya girlie

Girl I dont have any words of wisdom cause Im kinda going through the same thing. My husband thinks I have a thing going on with a guy that lives several states away that I have known for 7 yrs (longer than hubby)

I was just banded aug 13th with the realize band. So far I am doing good. I liked the fact that it inflates to a full circle not triangle, the port doesnt poke out as bad and the online tools.

dont give up hun it will happen. and just think u will be that much stronger when its done and that much lighter.

OK as yall know i was banded on Aug 13th exactly a week today. I went to family dr yesterday due to a cough and got put on antiobiotic. While there I was weighed and in the week I have lost 12 pounds that makes my total weightloss like 21 or 22 lbs now. I cant belive it. I did start full liquids today and the Campbells Select Tomato Parmesan Bisque (its in a box not can) is so freaking yummy. I love it. Anyways will try to pop in more often. I do read though.

today was my first day on full liquids and I ate the Campbells Select Tomato Parmesan Bisque, its to die for so freaking good. I will choose it over regular tomato soup any day now.

i thought u wasnt banded yet???

what type lotion did u use for the iodine. I didnt get any and my whole belly is yellow from it. I dont know how to get it off.

i just had my surgery yesterday, i have been living off of broth and sf popsicles, and water/juice. I was told i couldnt do protein drinks till my 2nd wk cause its nto clear. but i do know they sell protein stuff that is clear.

I had my band put in today. I am at home and trying to rest. I do have some pain and lots of gas pains. And im exhausted. I will post more late as im too tired to type.

I know what you mean. Tomorrow is my surgery and this past friday i came down with sinus drainage and sore throat, by sunday the sore throat had went away, but i still have a slight cough and little bit of sinus drainage, my pcp said yesterday that its allergies. Surgeon seen me today and didnt say anything about postponing. Good Luck!!

i have a 1 yr old whos about 24 lbs. I am having my surgery this coming wednesday the 13th. My hubby is gonna be off the first few days after that but my inlaws are gonna come down if i need help. I was told no lifting, pushing pulling of anything over 15 lbs

ok i got my paperwork but they made a mistake and didnt put for me to leave this friday so i gotta swing back by to get it resolved, but the human resource lady at work is out of office till monday so Im just gonna turn the paperwork in and then leave work friday and make them removed any point against me for not coming.

Ok this friday is suppose to be my last day at work so that I can get all my pre registration and stuff done. I cant leave till my drs office fills out my f.m.l.a paperwork. The idiot at my drs office only fills them out on fridays and waits till they have your surgery date to fill them out. They have had my surgery date for 2 wks now and still have not filled them out. They keep saying well she fills them out on fridays and she will get to it this friday. I told them ummmm hello I am to leave work this friday and I need it before then. They are not freaking helping me and Im so getting tired of all this crap. They dont understand that they have had the paperwork for months and that they could have filled it out the past 2 wks but no the lady dropped the ball. And she wont talk to me on the phone and have not returned any of my calls. She has a nice little voicemail waiting on her today. Pray that this idiot will get my paperwork to me before friday. Or that if she waits till friday that my work wont have a issue with it.

Im just checking in. My surgery is fast approaching on Aug 13th and I cant wait. I am hoping this friday is my last day at work due to having to do so much stuff the days prior to surgery. I am so excited. I will keep yall posted. Im not having to do a preop except for the day before surgery is going to be liquids only for that day. I find out my surgery time on the 12 when I go back to the dr. I cant wait, just so excited to become a healthier me. p.s. about the signature ssome reason in the post it has distorted them but if you click it and then save it it will be fine also for those that dont want a big siggie i just added a new small blinkie in the sticky post.

congratulations how you doing so far.
