gee...perhaps you can come and train my husband!! Last night he asked me if i wanted pasta (which definilty doesn't work with me) ...i am ready to kill. I think we are going to start counciling though, there are a lot of things, and i feel like he can't do anything right...and if he does do it, he always does it wrong or i have to redo it...

i wish you the best of luck...but i always ask my husband if i can have a histerectomy because my periods are OH SO painful. It makes me hate being "female" I do not wish i was a guy...i do wish i did not have to go through the monthly occurance (it always seems to ocme when i have nothing for it....grrrr) I wish you the best of luck

with my first fill, my dr. took out this needle that was 8 inches long!!!!!! I nearly died when i saw it. Then he put 1cc in the band and sent me on my way. I lied down the whole time. He said that their was already 4 in there, and i felt no restriction at all, i still don't feel restriction... (sigh)

To him, going to the grocery store means playtime. It means he can get what he wants and have it to eat. Another part that drives me crazy...for instance this morning, he drank dayquil out of the bottle like he is the only one in the house. There is no point in taking the whole bottle, let alone not measureing, just chug it down. MEN!!! Sometimes i wish i was a lesbian!

LOl he went to the store without me knowing..he spent $100 on junk food. So update...i did talk to him about it, he said he isn't trying to sabtage me...about 10 min. after talking with him, he goes "hey hon, you want an ice cream sandwich?" i got so mad and still am and he doesn't know why. So as you can see the talk did freakin great...

He himself wants to loose weight, but the thing is, like yesterday for instance, he gobbled down a triple stacker hamberger, large orange fanta soda, and then when i offered him a cookie that came with my plate he told me he didn't wants to only eat sugar free things....how does that work?

i was told pre op sugar doesn't matter...although post op you will want to change to no sugar at all. it does affect the way that you loose weight, as well as spikes and dips which makes you crash or not depending.....you want your hormones and your intestines to get used to no sugar added foods. In two weeks you can be sugar free totally.

not starting a hot topic or anything, but you need 1 bite of protein for every 5 bites of anything else. You need the protein now because she will start to loose most of her hair if not, as well as her body. The more protein you eat the more muscle she can gain, and the faster to repair her body. Don't get me wrong, veggies are great, but with the lap band you are not suppose to have a lot of fiber at all....

i had the same thing, it ended up being that i was actually hungry, the pain ment for me to eat. Many people have it, and that is what i found. Eat or drink something..(obviously not the same time)

that is so funny that all including mine was due the date of surgury...interesting.... mine happened on the day of surgury...grr...but that was oct 17, i have still not seen it again...although...i truely don't mind!

Well as some know and as stated below i was banded on the 17 of october...i am getting psyched for my fill, although i have realized i don't know what hunger is. I am never hungry, although if someone has food, i am. I feel like a sympathy eater...but oh well. No additional weight has been lost as i am still in the healing area still...but DEC 4 is the big fill day!!! YEAH i can't wait. Should i be loosing weight with out a fill?

so i know i am newly banded, but i was cleared to eat anything. SO...i had been eating healthy, no snacking and guess what i gained back all my weight...so i ate poorly and i lost it all...???? HOW IS THIS? So i can eat icecream and loose weight..but i eat 5 baby carrots, 1 piece of chicken, peas, soup for lunch, and yet i gain. BUT i eat candy, chips, icecream...and i loose? (of course healthy things too...like all the protein and stuff)

it is gaining about 6 pounds...but everytime i loose it when i eat junk food...perhaps jumpstarting my system??

but would you still go for the amount of "points" on weight watchers as you woulr without the band?

i also know that they also have the meals in the freezer section. In my line of work (dog training) it is easier to throw something healthy in the micro. then to make a whole meal. I figure that they are small to begin with, and that i would still stop when full, but it would be easier for me to do that then to "eat until satisfied" i which i had a max amount of calories or a target to go to.

something that hurt the most, was when my sister(37) told my niece (6) i was having surgury, and my niece goes...Auntie had a baby??????? and my sister told me about it. I know she is just a kid and all...and doesn't judge people....but still. At my work i have people consistantly asking how much i have lost, and they are super supportive about it...but....they also have an enormous jar of candy in front of my desk too...which is now moved out of my way.

i didn't have any suchers at all!!! I had holes in me that healed. There is only one that will not heal like i stated...in the middle of a roll... :-/ but whatever!

yeah, i noticed a different odor as well, and it was metalic smelling. GOOD BYE FAT>....DON"T COME BACK!!!!

much less painful than a bandaid!!! I would keep it on though...i had wicked itching, and took off only that one bandage, but due to a roll..lol....one of the insisions is still not healed up yet, (surgury on the 17) It keeps opening up. i wish i kept on the bandage that they gave me. SO...if you have any insisions that are in the middle of the extra roll (like me!) i would not recommend removing it...although boy oh boy did it feel good to remove them!

the reason for the diarreah is because what goes in liquid comes out liquid. that is the only reason. As for the burping it took me a good week in order to burp, at first i felt like i always had to and this strong pain and i couldn't. But now...it all flows accordingly. I couldn't even yawn either, but we are good know. You will improve 400% each day, at least i did. I was never in pain, just tightness...ok pain when sitting and getting up from a down position...but it was just like i over exerted my abs that is all. I have a whole bunch of drugs, but never took any......The gas, once it comes out you will feel SSSOOOOO much better!! I wish you a fast recovery, i am still in shock on how much better i got day to day! ( banded 10/17)

i definitly don't feel like a stuffed sausage in my cloths anymore...in fact i fit into shirts now that my stomach...well...when the stomach is bigger than the boobs...lol but now we are not like that!

my question is how hard is it to stretch your pouch? I have no fill at all in my band, as well as feel no restriction or anything. But is it easy to stretch the pouch with no fill? or is it hard? I don't think i have stretched the pouch...i haven't eaten enough.. does it require many times of over eating? or just once or twice?

perfect...i have been reading all the posts, but i never read anything on people not looseing weight. SO i weighed myself today, and i am still less then i was when i went in for surgury!! My only main concern is i wish i was able to get a fill before thanksgiving... :smile2: and i can't. I don't want to over eat, i will bring my baby spoon and fork with me, and cut everything in tiny pieces. I naturally chew everything to mush before i swallow anyway, so i have no problem that way...actually i couldn't understand why people got food stuck until i noticed how my hubby eats....he chews 5 times and swallows...i chew naturally with out trying at least 20 then swallow...i make sure it is mush first. So we are doing good!!!!

perfect! I do stop when i am not hungry...but i also seem not to be loosing any weight...although i think that the first 6 weeks (until the fill) are for healing...and weight loss is just a benefit if you do...right?

Is popcorn a no no now? My dr. said i am ready to eat whatever...although i was wondering if popcorn is a really bad thing.
