60 lbs down

I was getting a pain at the top half of my stomach right under my chest. It was gas. I laid down and took gas x drinking more Water. I found it was the Beans that gave it to me. I havent had it sense my dr told me it could be scare tissue if it is all the time. Good luck

Hey there and congrats... Yes i find it to be that waay to i have 3.5 cc in and i had mine on the 25th of june. i am almost to 60 lbs down and i eat chicken and tuna but i make it to a salad if you eat it plain it is really dry. ass a little mayo like low fat . I know it is hard it will get easier and i actually am suppossed to get one next week but i decided not to because i have a lot of restriction. But u have to chew and eat very slow. I was told no Pasta and no rice. So good luck and remember small bites and chew chew ...

well hello pam - well i love mine i am 3 months tomorrow and i am at 50 lbs... It has been hard but i would not change it for the world. I was back at work after 4 days and workingout about 2 weeks later and been going good ever since. I would take back not eating enough Fiber and being constipated but that has all changed now. I chose this because it isnt the last thingi could do if i do not suceed at this i still can get the gastric bypass. With this i feel like i am still working at it and really trying . It is a very easy thing to do i would not trade it for the world. Good luck and take care

Ok well i am 3 months tomorrow post op and i am 50 lbs down. Things have been going really well except got the last month. I am wondering is anyone else is having this problem.I have never been a regualr person when coming to using the bathroom # 2 and since this surg.. i go only about 2 times a week. I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got very constipated and created a fisser ( if thats how u spell it) And well i am having surg on wednesday for that. SOOOOOOOOOOO ... It hasntbeen the greatest of months and i am not looking forward to that but i have been in so much pain and i am glad i am getting it fixed. So i guess i am asking with not being able to eat a lot and all of that is anyone else having these problems? I try to get my Fiber in and reall do what i can . Just wondering ... thanks

I will have to say .... it is the best decioun i have ever made. It is so easy to do. I felt great and feel great. I know its hard but trust me it is well worth it when you loos your first pant size .. good luck

I took off wednesday and went back to work monday. I had my husbnad here and he was no help and he ended up leaving me alone so then my mom came and got me . I dont have a very nice husband. LOL but my mommy took care of me after that. LOL she had my son for the time being to . Hes 8 so he helped to . But to be honest MOMMYs are the best.

i didnt even weigh for the first week and when i went to the dr a week after and i was 16 lbs lighter.. i coldnt tell either.... so no worries u will weigh and poof it will be gone.

walk walk walk chipper you will do fine it sucks i had it really bad and lots of Water and gasx... good luck and welcome aboard.

i went to a place that sold GNC type stuff and it is a chocolate protien powder that i have really liked . BUt i also chop up bannans that i have put in the freezer the night before and i use milk and i add a tbl spoon of Peanut Butter . I blend it up and i drink it on my way to work . It contains 1 gr of sugar and 33 grams of Protein. Try it and see.

GAS .................. Its GAS.................. Walk around and drink more water... That was what i had .. COngrats

Mine took a total of like 2 1/2 months i know the only thing that they had a prob with was the report from the pshyc dr... i had to 150 .. so but it was real easy and most of it was waitng for the drs to send all the stuff in ...good luck

ohh yes girl it has been there for me ever since min 5 weeks ago ...... lol a friend told me to buy costco size gas x lol

I know that the dr office had submitted like right before the surgery so mabe they can submit for that call them or ask ur dr.. I had tricare and i didnt have one problem and only one expense. SO good luck

everyone is different i was banded the day after you .. i am down 23... so it chages but that is great keep it up. I just focus on low fat or fat free and sugar free foods ... your doing great.

well heres the thing ... i am a usmc wife so we have something in common. My husband kept telling me that he didnt make me get this surgery and he was right but i am doing this for myself cause i dont want to be over weight for my son and me . But mostly i am doing it or my health because no matter what my husband says that he doesnt care if i am fat. I know that he wants me healthy. I want to not have knee prob, not have health prob, i want to fit and healthy . SO mabe u need to think why you are doing this cause girl it is a lot of mental strength as well ... it just doesnt fall off and it take supporrt from friends and family . Hope all goes well

well hello u were banded 0ne day after me.... i have lost 23 lbs and i to want to chew . if u want to message me u can ... we can go through this together . take care
