I eat watermelon occassionally as I was told it contains high amounts of sugar. Just a cautious on your intake amount.

Hey Kat, I almost have the very same experience with not wanting anything to eat in the morning, the thought of food makes me sick, and feeling a lil nausea until the afternoon. I also try to get down a small carb control yogurt, but I am pretty sick of Protein drinks. I found at the grocery store some Pepto Bismol tablets and I started taking them two days ago and I have no more nausea feeling in the morning. I still do not want to eat but at least I don't have that sick feeling to my stomach. By afternoon I am ready for a little something but my first fill seemed to have kicked in really good the 2nd week and my fill was on May 18, 2006. Try some of the Pepto Bismol and I guarantee you feel 100% better.

Yes, my appetite is dead and the lil nausea feeling is for a short time in the morning. What is the "physcial stop signals", I have never heard of that before? Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Kee, what was your band date?

I had my 1st fill on May 18, 2006, and just about each morning I feel nausea and no appetite most of the day. Is that what restriction is all about. My next fill is scheduled for June 1, do you think I should reschedule it? Please help. Thank you.

Congrats on your big day and your beginning of your new healthier life!!!

Leenerbups, your second dinner is behind you now so move forward with a fresh start tomorrow. What did you have?

I had my first fill on last Thursday, May18, 2006, and before leaving the docs office they scheduled me for my next fill for two weeks...June 1, 2006. Based on my response to my first fill will determine the amount of the fill for my next appt i.e. did I stay full, did it take less food to get me full, did I keep my food down etc... Good luck!

3Loves, you are right on point with the hubby!! He sounds as if he will insecure once you lose the weight. You do what is best for you and your health because no man is promised to stay with us married or not. Congrats and keep us posted of your progress.

My prayers are with you. Please keep us posted.

Plunder Bunny send my a PM with your name and address so that I can mail you some money. I have true compassion for anyone in this situation as I was once a single parent many years ago. I have been blessed with a great paying job a husband of 14 years and I feel the need to give back.

Yes, I would do it again!!!!

GOD's plan can never be altered!! Congrats!!

I was too terrifed from a previous experience. However, I overcame my fear through much prayer. Also, when I went to meet the hospital staff prior to surgery, I explained very clearly to the anesthologist my fears and concerns and he noted it in my chart. I requested to be sedated prior to the actual rolling down the hall to the OR. I was so relaxed and they may me feel so comfortable. My fears are now gone forever!!!!!! Also, thank about the advancements with technology, it is really amazing! Go for it, and take GOD with you!

Congrats!!!!!
