Hi Mary, sorry i have not been on LBT for ages. Ive lost 24kg which is about 10kg more than my doctor predicted. I was at the lighter end of the scale to have had lap banding but I am delighted with my outcome and VERY happy. Was 104kg and now 80kg and no need to lose anymore. I have 3.5mls in my band and not having anymore either. How are you going?
-
Band i think. It means your band might be at the right setting.....
-
That is so funny. I used to think i was going to throw up but then it just like goes away. HAHHA Do you ever have burning in your tummy at night like bad acid reflux?
-
Yes lol!! It is your tummy and throat releasing air and regulating your digestion. I do it all the time. When i lay down to sleep is the worst lol all the air comes up

I did propel gatorade packets, jello sugar-free (orange or green)...herbal teas, and thats it!! I had my band loosened the other day due to swelling and being overly tight (long story) So i gained ten lbs back!! OMG pray for me i don't want to gain back everything!! I go tuesday to get it fixed!

Hahaha. Yeah i'm breaking some of my bad habits now like drinking more water, cutting out on the carbonated drinks, etc. Yeah everyone has been saying that recovery after surgery isn't bad, that's a good thing. Yeah i have a lot of pajamas so i'm covered as far as the sleepers go. During your clear liquid stage what were you having besides water and chicken broth??

They aren't removing your brain!! You will be hungry! The ride home from the hospital i remember seeing a kfc sign...I don't even eat that crap...but knowing i couldn't...i got hungry.
The surg itself and recovery is a breeze. Its the not getting to eat for a while that is tricky. Make sure you have stuff to go while you are off work. Shopping, cleaning, activities to keep your mind off of food.
You might bleed on what ever clothes you wear from the hospital so make sure you don't care about them. Wear comfy nighty clothes so you aren't confined to your clothes.
