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?

Why is my husband continuously trying to sabatage my success so far with the lap band? why? What have i done wrong for him not to help and support me? He offers me pizza and cookies, and ice cream...purchases my fav candy for me too....what is the deal??? He has changed huge, he only visited me for 10 minutes in the hospital. 10 minutes...if it was him i would have been there all night for him. ALL NIGHT... (i have 3 dogs) i woke up this morning to the smell of poop in the house. I got out of bed to see what the deal was...i walk into the kitchen smell stronger...i look at the dog who is in her crate and poop is everywhere...EVERYWHERE....NOW..if it just happened..i understand mistakes happen...but when i went to clean it up, it was COLD...COLD i tell you so that means it happened last night...and he didn't notice? so now i have a poop covred dog...AAAHHHH why is he doing this to me? why is he purposely makeing me mad and trying to sabatage me? WHY? We go grocery shopping and he purchases food for his lunches....fine...he then asks me like a little boy if he can get chips, sure..if you want them and need them then sure. Then we come home and he is shocked i said yes....then he eats them when we come home from shopping....and says well you said yes so they must be healthy...he is 35, he is a big boy now, and he can make his own decisions right???? do i have to be a mom to him??? AAAAAHHHHH i wish i was lesbian:cursing:

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?

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

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)

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.

Is it a bad idea to also do weight watchers while having the lap band? I have no restriction yet, not until after thanksgiving.....but i can eat anything. Could also combining weight watchers help?

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!

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?

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?

i don't have a list yet...i have no restriction yet..so i feel like the band is pointless for me right now, i am sure that once the restriction kicks in it will be a different situation! I have eaten most things, and so far nothing bothers me at all....(actually the pain from being hungry hurts....but that is it!)

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.

i can feel my port...and actually i can also feel the band itself on the left side too. My port is on my right side by my ribs... the other people who i was talking with can't feel theirs either, i think it depends on how much muscle and fat that is actually at the site. I can feel everything....and no one in the meetings can. I asked the dr. about it and he said that it is because i guess i am on the smaller side (i know bmi is 40 but, i also have been going to gym for years too...so lot is muscle) Perhaps that matters?
