  1. Happy 57th Birthday bella40!

  2. Happy 56th Birthday bella40!

  3. Pain:cursing: with sliming and pb. I was stuck for 2 hours with pb and slimed. I try walking, changing postions and raising my arms nothing worked. I tried a hot long shower and that help to move things along. This was a wake up call to eat slowly and to take my time. I was sore for the next day and eat mushy foods only.
  4. I was banded on July 13th and have lost 10 pounds. Glad to hear I'am not the only one thinking I should have loss more. This is a new way of life and we are still learning.
  5. My first fill was 4. I think I have a size 8 band. I have felt a little tight

    How much to they put in on the 1st fill

    No fills yet I have a 8cc band. I did ask my Dr what is his normal amount of the first fill. He said 4 cc is this to much for a 1st fill I thought maybe 2cc.

    Weigh in... how much have u lost?

    surgery was 5/13 and down 15 pounds:cool2:
  8. The lapband is 90% less pain than a C section. I was band on 5/13 and have only taken tylenol for pain . Just walk alot and take it easy.
  9. I'am coughing due to my allergy. Only 4 days post op no pain just not sure if I should be concerned? Any one else have this problem before? Do not want to cause any problem with my new band.
  10. I feel fine no real pain. So glad I did this. Will take 1 day at a time.
  11. :thumbup:I had surgery on 5/13/08 at 7:30am. Stayed the night in hospital my choice. Only pain med was morphine (sp) at 10:30am. I fell sore but no real apain. I was walking as of 11am and did this 5 more times that day.Im home know just woke up and had chicken broth. Have not been hungry. I know every one does differently.Waiting for gas pains hoping all the walking will keep it away. :thumbup:
  12. I have loss weight many times and with old bad habits I'm back to my high weight. This time I will not fail. This time I plan to have food that I can eat readly on hand.So I will have to think in advance and plan also. I will have some healthy food for work in the car and at home. Pre plan so I can grab and run if I'm in a hurry. And remove foods that I can not eat from my home. It is up to me and my new tool.
  13. I have been approved and have May 13 as my surgery date. But what if I fail again and do not lose weight or not keep the weight off ?:tongue_smilie: I have been watching how and why I eat. Trying to make good choices and smaller amounts. Down 9 pounds in 6 weeks. I'm getting the WHAT IF fear:confused2:
