I can eat salad no problem...i try to do that at work..we get lunches alot from the drug reps and I always try to get a salad. I have been on this I need chocolate kick lately and not sure why cuz I really am not a chocolate eater...more of a carbaholic. I just need to get back to being a good girl and learning to say no to the sweets. I just wish it was wasy to go back to how full u felt right after surgery with very little food. Thank You guys for some food ideas. Ohh and I love Wendy's chili actually had that for dinner tonight. anyone have any ideas on sweet stuff that isnt bad for ya... i need something to curb that sweet tooth that is showing its ugly head.

I have gotten to a point where I am frustrated with myself and know that I have not been eating like I should. Have not been to the gym in a while since I have had alot of overtime at work and not able to get there to do anything. I was looking for some ideas on things to eat to get me back on track. I go on the 29th to see my doc and possibly get a small fill adjustment. I know that I have not been eating like I should and need some help from all of u. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Ohh and I dont like fish other than tuna lol and I despise mushrooms....Thanks

Had my lap band done 2 years ago and I am now heading in to have a hysterectomy done next month. Was just wondering if anyone else with the band has had this surgery with the band. Wasnt sure if there will be any specific complications or restrictions with it..Any advice would be greatly appreciated

As my doctor say..."NEVER EVER put off calling the doctor when u are having pain." And I had that situation of no food going down and throwing it all up and only being able to take in fluids. I went in the very next morning and he took a little fluid out. I felt so much better.

Mine is on my right side...about midway between my belly button and my boob...kind of on that diagonal. I dont think there is a specific side it is to be on but I think it the surgeons preference. Maybe it is the side of the operating table they are standing on lol.

I love my band!!! Not everyone is gonna have problems. This was the best decision I have ever made in my life.

Just an update on this post....I miscarried the baby at 7 weeks on 2/27/09. Worst thing I have ever experienced in my life. Hoping it had nothing to do with the band that I lost the baby. The doctor said it was just not meant to be. :thumbup:

Was a big surprise..my boys are 14 and almost 21...guess losing the weight made me Fertile Myrtle. Hoping for a good outcome now that the shock has wore off

Well I gotta figure out how to post pics.. Am super excited to be down from a size 24 jean to a 18...BUT..just found out I am pregnant so hopefully wont put too much back on

I am currently 5 weeks pregnant...and having a few problems OB wise. No trouble with the band yet. I was wondering if anyone else here ended up pregnant before our 1 year bandiversery, and if anyone is havng any troubles OB or band wise. Need lots of sticky baby dust for this one,

Thanks fairie.. I did call the doctor on Sunday and they sent me for bloodwork. My levels are low and I just started progesterone supplement last night (which by the way makes u dizzy as all get out) and have to go today around noon for another test to see if my levels are rising. Hoping for the best. This will be baby number 3 for me ( my other 2 are 20 and 14) and was a complete surprise. Never had these problems with my other 2. Keeping my fingers crossed:thumbup:

I am about 5 weeks pregnant and started spotting this weekend. Went and had a HCG level drawn today and the doctor called and said to call the office in the morning that my level seemed a bit low.. I am so worried and dont want to lose this baby even though it was a surprise..has anyone else had these problems??

Well I am a nurse in a physician's office so lots of people see me on a daily basis. I tell anyone who asks me how I am losing the weight that I had lapband surgery. The doctor I work for asked me if I minded if she told the patients who were thinking about the surgery that I had it done and if they had questions to ask me. I don't mind at all. I share with them all my experiences. I have thrown so much business to the surgeon who did my surgery ...he needs to give me a kick back for all the business hee hee

Sorry to hear about ur friend.. Good luck with your surgery.. She will be watching over u thru it all

There are different numbers on the Nioxin...which one is the best one to use??
