i agree. I eat sneak in salads every now and again however, my band hasn't been tightened yet but will be next week. As of Sept. 5th at 2:15pm...so eat it in moderation..and don't forget to chew chew chew!

Hi, I don't know if I have a band slippage or not..this is my full liquid period..I have two more days before full liquids..I've missed two appointments...but, I will see my doctor tomorrow morning. I was wondering if it was at all possible for me to know how if I am (LORD FORBID) experiencing a lapband slippage...I have a pinching pain or it feels like a a shorter version of a charlie horse...(cramping pains in an arm or specifically a leg FOR ME) ...its directly under the scar where my port is located..it feels like I'm using those muscles too much thats all..but, if any of you have had this feeling let me know..b/c I'm trying to figure it out...if its nothing...plz reassure me..I know that sometimes..ppl don't have symptoms..but, I don't vomit..although I haven't had a fill anyway...yet..tell me something plz:unsure::mad2::smile::huh2::huh2::huh2:

I too was banded on the 6th yeaaa!

well, my sharp pain lasted 3-4 days...so its different..and the reason for it is gas...but, I just had my surgery on August 6,2008 and i feel great! a bit hungry..which is normal...but, being that this is my 7th day..i feel like I kinda got a hang of it... ITs getting there. <a href="http://www.myhotcomments.com/"><img src="http://lc.fdots.com/cc/lc/73/73c6a16090fd46efe7e4fdcd11915bbb.gif" border="0" alt="MyHotComments.com"></a><br><a href="http://www.myhotcomments.com/graphics/44442">MyHotComments</a> <br clear="left">

you seem like you know what you are talking about

hey you all..I'm 19 ina month I'll be twenty so I joined this forum...But, i had a question..to any of you who have had this for awhile I need some answers and some help..I've ate like 3 slices of pieces small bites of fish and 2 fries during my liquid full and clear liquid stage and this is day 6....everything else has been right..I'm taking my meds..I'm eating the appropriate things...and the appropriate servings...these were the only problems I had

i agree with taking it slowly...I live in a family building and my granny lives upstairs everyone comes down to see me. Main thing is you don't want to risk misplacing anything by walking up stairs using muscles that haven't healed completely. Also, you have to just take your time..if it means going up the stairs slowly then so be it..babes...key thing is healing..I was banded August 6,2008 at around 9am..was done by ten and left the hospital by 2:30pm...they had to get my heart rate down and I had to really wait for the doc to make his rounds..but, take it easy..we are all in this together to come out strong..and much better

they are my life savers too girl! They taste delicious..but, is any one getting chills often after benig 4 days away from your actual surgery date and getting the runs like never before?

well..protein drinks do make you gain weight..well they made me gain weight..i think you should lay off the protein shakes..I too just got banded..on August 6th, 2008. I went in at 6:30am..had the surgery around 9am...and was at home around about 2:30pm...

wELL, i'LL BE INVOLVED IN MY 2ND WEEK AND THEREFORE..BACK AT SCHOOL..U OF I...ITS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE BUT IF YOU PRAY AND STAY FOCUS EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OOK
