your right.. it is wonderful... but i dont have any restriction now... i do get full faster... but when im hungry...im hungry!!

ugh.. the whole thought of slime filling my mouth .. totally grosses me out... I never want to experience that. Im sure it definately teaches you to slow down... I have to keep having that visual as a reminder... SLLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWW... :thumbdown:

do you think i will be elligible for my first fill... since i was banded on august 10th???? Or should i call the dr office and push it out a week??? I will be five weeks out...

cant wait to hear you have crossed over... we will be waiting !!!

i just feel like i have lost weight...but the "muffin top" is still there..lol

both of you will do wonderful...i cant wait to hear how your all doing best of luck!!!

i take Biotin.. for my hair... so far so good...

i went lastnight.. it was good.. i only did cardio... which was fine to start... nine miles on the bike... took about 25 min... it was great.. going again this morning...:thumbup: hopefully the pounds will shed shed shed now!

good luck.. you will do fine... your in our thoughts

thank you so much... im going back tonight.. ill let ya know how i do..lol

I am heading back to the gym tonight.. i am going to start with just cardio... no lifting yet. I havent been there in a month.. so its going to be like starting all over . I lost 40 lbs pre op from last december. i cant wait to go back... I just wanted to know if any of you started doing any kind of excer.

thats what i mean... bloating... lost weight..but jeans still feel snug around the waist..and my belly is almost touching my steering wheel and never did..lol

thanks so much for the info... no infections... but i still feel bloated like... oh well.. i guess it will go away soon...

mmmmmm send me that recipe.... yes i salivate..LOL

i would call your dr too...but honestly .. i think its a combination... swelling... gas... drinking too fast maybe... get up and move... that really was the best medicine i recieved... I had that discomfort for days...and finally it went away. good luck xoxo

I feel like my stomach is still swollen... is that possible??? Im almost 13 days post op

I promise as the week goes on it does get better... you get used to it... Im almost three weeks post op..and i havent had a solid piece of food since Aug 3...and i have gone to parties and everything... Hang in ... just think in a month we will all be "normal" lol (lets hope)... i keepwatching the food network... lol

allison.. i know i have read that if you dont tolerate something in one stage .. back track to the previous... so yea.. i think i would try liquids for a day...and then go back to mushies...and if the pain is not going away... give your surgeon a call

i had my surgery on august 10th... so i am 12 says post op.. I start mushies on monday. CANT WAIT.. i had a very difficult time with the gas as well... it was bad!... I went to the dr three days post op.. because the gas was even making it difficult to swallow. Now.. i am good... its like having a baby... it sucks in the begining.. but as the rewards start to come clearer... you forget what you went through. i have to say.. without this board it would be harder. It made the first week seem more normal and ok....seeing other people struggle from what i was struggling with. I think im down about 13 lbs... I am having trouble drinking all my protien..and drinking 64oz period... but everyday is a new day...and i try again. Im sure it will get easier. Cant wait to see this transformation !!!!! GO US!!!

ill be two weeks post op on monday..and i can start mushies... who is starting and what are some of them your going to try??? i feel like too much mashed potatoes will make me gain... Im so confused :confused: lol

so if we have no restriction... what do we do.. just starve until we are elligible for a fill??? what are some of the mushies you guys are eating.. I start monday... :confused: can i start tomorrow..??LOL

i hope you did well.. cant wait to hear... welcome to bandland!!

sounds great to me... i start mushies on monday as well...ahhhhhh i want real food!! :biggrin:

so what did you have... I want to know!!! LET ME LIVE THROUGH YOU..LOL!!!! anyway... i was just wondering what the dr said... Thanks :biggrin:

i think im hungry... i had soup today but this time i had a half of mug..and then had another half... is that normal?? I had a protien shake for breakfast and now i am making my husband and kids dinner and im hungry... its not just head hunger... im hungry. :biggrin: what are you guys doing to get through this.
