awesome im checking out their site as we speak.. im looking at the cateye strada cadence cycle computer. I think this is the same one you have. How long have you had it? Does it track the mile pretty accurate? Thanks oh and LBS?? what is that?

Swelling, that is why you felt more right after surgery. Im in the same boat. I was banded on the 27th. I can also feel like i can eat anything with no problem.. Unfortunately im on full liquids still for another week, but i have yogurt, and jello etc with no problem. I also think i could eat alot more. I don't think its a slip unless you have seriously abused your doctors advice, mine gave me 3 weeks of liquids but most only do 1 week then solids?? AS far as ive been able to tell from other posts. I also get the hiccups alot LOL.. I hope you have a doc. appt soon so you will know for sure. I go back on the 29th. Good luck!!

Okay so i had surgery on the 27th, they say the first 6 weeks is about healing so i so i have not weighed my self yet, i will find out what i weigh on the 29th, its tough but after reading so many posts about people so worried im glad i have made the commitment. So maybe don't weigh your self for a few weeks, don't stress, stress will keep weight loss slow! Your gonna do great!!

I want to track how many miles i ride my bike. Is their some sort of counter or something i can buy and put on my bike to do this?? thanks, i so want to buy one if their is.

there are alot of people who have issues with that, i saw a thread somewhere just can't remember where. Sorry that it sucks for you!! i think someone said somethign about peeing before and peein after then wiping really well?? dang it can't remember sorry but i still wanted to post and say keep your head up and your crotch cool LOL!! Good luck chicky!@

im on 3 week liquids 1st week clear last 2 full fluids. im also worried, i can eat to much. i mean i can eat the whole can of soup 10 3/4 oz which is like two cups of soup. i dont know if that is to much or not, i cheated yesterday and ate a soft necterine, peeled it first then kinda sucked it and mashed it. i feel full after the soup is gone but i wonder if im just eating to much of it and maybe should only eat half the can?? i usually eat a yogurt in the morning, can of soup for lunch, can of soup for dinner and try to get in 1 protein shake and of course i hit the water hard!!

i want to ride my bike, im 2 weeks out myself, im gonna try it this weekend and see how it goes. Im healed up wel, feeling good but will stop if i have any dicomfort.

Hi, i had my surgery on Friday and went back to work on Tues. Now as a cosmo student, im figuring you have to stand alot, but honestly if your pain tolerance is good, you should be okay. Just make sure to sit down and rest as often as possible. My tummy felt like someone kicked me a few times but all in all it wasn't to bad. The worse part for me was i had allergy to the anestesia(sp?) and had itchey's on my hands and feet for a week. That sucked!!

i did lapband, bypass was way to scary for me, and im very happy with my decision. Good Luck!!

i really liked the chocolate, the vanilla was okay, the unflavored geesh has flavore. LOL the flavor of protein.. I hate the protein taste, but thankfully i now just drink it one way. With peanut butter, milk, ice, bananna, the pb really hides the protein taste. i can't do them with fruit, i still can taste the protein. Shipping was quick id say 6 days and i have apo address and live in germany.

banded in frankfurt germany, they use allergan.

i have tricare overseas. It took 2 hrs for the referrel to be approved. And 1 week for the surgery to be approved.

ummm i can eat a whole can of soup at lunch and at dinner...the 10 oz one. i wonder if that is to much?

oh i was gonna add, you were banded on my sons birthday he just turned 3!!

Ouch girl that seriously sucks!! Still on liquids here so no worries about pbing for me just yet

go girl go!!

hi im 10 days out, i have a 3 year old, i try very hard not to pick up. But yesterday i picked him up and was quite comfortable, no pulling or anything like that.

hey chicky no worries, their are plenty of people who had good experience with the lapband. i am 10 days out not doing to shabby myself. Don't know how much i lost, i refuse to weigh myself cause i don't want to do the up and down rollercoster of i lost and ohh im not losing LOL. You'll be just fine, stay strong!!

mphs mommy were stationed in schweinfurt germany, to all the rest of you thanks for the info, i just don't want to eat to much at one time and like blow out my pouch or something. definitely not getting much calories im not worried about that its portion that worries me, that has always been my down fall. im hoping once i get to solids i will eat less, just want to make sure im not drinking to much soup though at one time to cause problems. I am on 3 weeks of liquids.

It was around night 8 and 9 for me...good luck stay tough time will pass

Okay so i was banded 10 days ago, and am still on liquids. Well now im on Full liquids, im worried though because i can drink alot of liquid, i can usually eat a small can of cambells cream of chicken soup, well blended with milk. ummm i don't feel "full" well i mean after ive eaten it lol, i know ive had enough. im not sure if thats okay though. Thru the day i don't eat much usually a yogurt in the morning, can of soup for lunch, can of soup for dinner. But im worried i might eating to much and hurting my band, any thoughts are appreciated. ohh i feel great, no pain, stitiches get removed tomorrow, but still worried LOL..Thanks:thumbup:

oh yes ma'am i did
