It is not a diet it is a way for you to get over the carbs and sugar you might have eaten over the holidays and get back on track. If you would take the time to look at it you will see that this is just the way you ate when you first got banded and nothing extreme it is just reminding you of what you did and need to do to get back on track. Anyways why do some of you feel it was important to post about the negative stuff when this post only had to do with the people that needed help.

Yes I am starting Monday. The website is Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test This is going back to the basics like when you fist got banded. You don't need to by the book if you don't want to. It is all on the website

Hi, I have talked to you in another forum about the 5 day but I could really use some help. I am 6 months post op and I find myself struggling. I lost my job in September and started another one on 10/6/08 which is more demanding as far as being on the phone more. I have not exercised in a while I have had a terrible cold twice since I started this job I feel tired all the time. I feel like screaming why did I spend all this money ( I am self pay) and are not following the guidelines. I would love a person to talk to about this journey especially someone who is farther out than me. I also want to say your picture is very beautiful I really like the pip up look maybe one day I will develop the confidence to take a picture like that. Did you always have confidence like you have now?

Thanks I need to do this because I feel out of control right now.

I am going to start Monday. I am going to use tomorrow as a prep day to prep all my stuff for next week. I feel crappy with the slider stuff I ate. I am ready to go. So count me in guys.

Hi Welcome to lapband talk. I have found this forum has helped me alot. :grouphug:

Yes you should tell your doctor how you feel. Also do your own research that way when she has suggestions you can give her yours. I would go with a doctor that has alot of experience with the band. I am a google junkiw so I researched everything and every doctor I was considering. When it comes down to it you will have to live with the band for the rest of your life so you want to make sure the doctor knows what they are doing.:wink_smile:

Because even though this last week was tough (got laid off and emotional eating)I do deserve to be happy with myself and what I can acheive.

Okay so I got laid off and started going back to my old ways. So now I gained back 1.5 back. Well i want to remain accountably so I am posting it. It seems like I have lost and gained 4lbs since the begining of this challenge. Well I am going to start again. At least I can excersise more since i am not working.

I will not be able to attend this year. Since I had the Lapband surgery in July and then ended up having an emergency surgery for something else last week, it is not going to work out. Hopefully they will be another one I can attend soon. I hope you all have fun.

I can understand what you mean having the lapband is one thing to get over but then you have to deal with something else. I hope you fell better soon. I finally get to go back to work tommorrow. I can't do anything except walking at the moment because he does not want me to stretch anything. It will be a couple of months till I can do anything else.

BellaPerdente, Because I had bowel sticking through they were afraid of strangulation so they did surgery right away. They cut my stomach muscles and pushes everything back in and then covered it with mesh and stitched my muscles tightly back together. As far as the pain it was to the right of my belly button more on the right side. Laurinda, Thank you so much I fell much better than I did thesuse2000, I am glad they found it sooner than later but it was a real shock

So on Labor day I had a dull but constant pain in my right side. I just figured it was gas or something so I let it go. Tuesday I went back to work with the same pain and I just put a heating pad on it. Needless to say I devolped nausea and went to a quick care place and was told I could have appendicitis and to go to the er. So to cut it short 8 hours later in the er I found out I had a hernia near my belly button. Also they were concerned that I had a strangulation with my bowel and the rushed me to surgery. :scared2:I had surgery Wed. morning and left the hospital on Friday. I am still in alot of pain I can't go back to work until I see the doc on Wed. Talk about having to take it slow now. Anyways if this is partly what is feels like to have a tummy tuck I am not sure I want one. He pulled my abdominal wall so tight he hurts to stand. Has anyone else experience this?
