I don't think one meal would hurt. Your surgery is on the 17th/

Your cycle could have changed because of your weight loss.

I'm sure a lot of people have this problem. That's how we all got over weight right. Don't be so hard on yourself. We're not perfect. You should tell your doc about this or nutritionist about this. Maybe you need another fill?????

Oh no! I have heard of that. I hope all goes well. I 'm sorry you have to have another surgery,

Good idea about straining!!! Is your stage 2 for 2 wks? I just talked to my nutritionist & she told be I should move on to stage 3 by day 14!!!! Here I am thinking I had to do just shakes for THREE weeks! Come to find out they gave me the wrong paper at the hopital lol!!! She nade my day!!!

I really need to up my water! Have not done good w/ that at all :rolleyes:Made a check list for it.

WTG!!! Keep it up!!!! I'm going onto my 2nd week of shakes. Had surgery 9-25. I have lost 13 lbs including the wk pre op diet! So, it's been about 9 days from surgery. I am still hungry a lot. Can't wait for first fill or to move on to mushy. I could go for some resl food. I don't even want "bad" food. I'd take a salad! anything !!!

alright!!!! I'm happy for ya!! I got my band 9-25!! I'm feeling good lost 12 lbs so far! good luck.

I thought we could just have shakes & clear liquids. Can we have soups like tomato cream soups ect. as lond as there's nothing in it??

I don't have any drainage but my port area was the ony part of my belly that hurt & I can feel the port too. The pain is almost all gone. :tongue: I'm 7 days out.

Hi guys. I'm only one wk post op. I gave up my beloved diet pepsi cold turkey :tongue: I don't want to do anything to mess up my band or stomach. I'm just done w. it. I drank 4-5 a day. :tongue:

OMG! I'm having such a hard time!! It's just not normal NOT to eat!!! :cursing:I just finshed my 1st wk of shakes & 2 more to go!!! How am I gonna do this? :tongue: I am So hungry. not head hunger, hunger hunger.

Hi! I was nevous about this too. I was about 38 BMI, 215 lbs, 5' 2 no comorbids. I have BC/BS n.h. Got approved in a wk NO PROBLEMS!

YAY!! Loulou & Dal!!!

no worries. :cursing:

lol! My girls are the same way. I can't find anything to fit them in the waiste. wish i had that problem !!! My 3 yr old weighs the same as my 2yr. old! she's a peanut! :cursing:

The whole process went quickly for me because I found out what I had to do & did it all quickly. Call your ins. tell them what your doing & ask them what you need to do next. Usually after that you go to you PMC & talk to them & they talk to your ins. find a surgen {I found mine right on here} go to info seminar your surgen gives meet w/ surgen & they will help from there! HOPE THIS HELPS!! :thumbup:

Hi there! I have bcbs of Mass. I have heard they are one of the easiest for getting approved & fastest! I had NO problems they approved mine in about a week :thumbup: I've heard of some only waiting a day! I had No medical issues either. You need to be about 100 lbs over weight {by the charts the dr use}. good luck! If you have any ?? let me know! :drool:

Oh no! I'm so sorry for you ! i can only imagine how upset you must be. I will pray for you!!

Of course! everyones nervous! You wouldn't be human if you weren't :-) I would start thinking about it & get myself saying " what if ". I just couldn't over think it lol! I did have about 2 days when i said I don't need surgery to do this/ then I realized YES I do! I have gained & lost 100's of pounds in my life. This is the best thing I've ever done!:drool:

Hey there! I was banded 9-25 too! I'm feeling alright. My port area seems to be more sore then it was earlier.???

WOW!!! Awesome!!! I'm very happy for you girl!!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::drool:

I feel your pain. I was banded just sept 25th. I'm having a hard time seeing everyone eat around me. I just wanna smack em up side the head!! lol! I hear of a lot of people feeling this way right after. You have a new life to look forward to! The weight loss will make you feel better! I've already lost 12 lbs! the starving for a while will be worth it lol! Hang in!!

Hi everyone!! I got my band sept 25th!!! The pain wasn't much for me at all the first few days. My port area is hurting now though for some reason. I thought it would get better not worse. :thumbup: Over all I'm doing well. Hating the shake stage! The weight loss is really keeping me going! :drool: I've lost 12 lbs so far including 1 wk post op! :cool2: Keep up the good work all!!!

I think I've done well w/ pain too. I don't have gas pain just been passing a lot :thumbdown:. My belly... by where my port is {I think} is where I am starting to hurt now. Only if I bend over or get up. I am really getting hungry & having hunger pains now. Dealing w/ head hunger too. My head actually feels dizzy & cloudy today. odd, I don't know why it's just happening now.???? I'm down 12 lbs today!!!! :drool::thumbup::thumbup: including my wk pre op diet. That's enough to keep me going!! I'm so glad I did this. I can't believe I'm actually gonna be thin again!!!!!!! :crying: Hang in there everyone! We'll do this together!!!! :cursing:
