i will have to find out the hours and when she does it cause i will go and thats a good thing then each day will get easier, i really wannt try both

Sweet, have you noticed anything different? i really want P90X!!!! Zumba, i know someone who teaches it near me, i had her as a gym teacher back when i was in middle school, it is fun! but i havent done it since we did it in school so maybe ill go to her classes and i think she does it for free

i know this may not be the right place to post this, but most people come here. anyways, was wondering if anybody is doing the P90X while being banded? i want to try it and i think it will help. Their diet plan seems good and i think it will help me. So, are any of you doing this? where can i get it?

maybe one is forming? go back to the doctors and have them do an ultra sound

hello, i had my gallbladder taken out on july 22nd 2010. i had my band place on july 31st 2009. to me, i say gallbladder hurt more than the band. i had swelling but i dont think anything affected the band, everything was fine. just when you come out, make sure to get up and walk as much as possible like the band. i dont know how many inscissions your surgeon will be doing but mine did 5 and the painful one was the belly button one. but i thought the band was less painful

also, lately i havent been feeling well i do know, skipping meals and stuff isnt going to make you lose weight..i was just having a bad week but, i dont know, i think i was scared of something getting stuck or eating too much and i know about serving size. i'm not a morning person and i usually dont like eating in the morning so i think the protein shake idea for morning would be good. i've had the hamburger and cheese with no bread, and once i got the fill i found out i couldnt have bread unless its toasted. i cant keep up with writting the calories and protein down everyday i'll leave the protein shakes for breakfast and snack before i go to bed. i dont know, i just feel a little lost in this

ever since i got my first fill (woohoo, total of 6cc's) i haven't been eating much and haven't been hungry much, which is totallly awesome! if i can remember right, ever since the fair came, i started skipping meals, drinking more water, walking more than i have been...lost 11 pounds before surgery, but i've gained 5 back. ever since the week of my graduation party, mainly since i started seeing someone(july 28th) i'd go throughout the day without eating much, maybe 2 meals a day. when i hear my stomach telling me its hungry, i ignore it and drink water. id say id have 2 meals a day. now that i've gotten into that pattern, i'm affraid to actually have normal meals. i'm afraid to eat more than i should anyways, i want to only have protein shakes as meals from GNC, fruit, veggies, and yogurt...also, when can i go swimming? (had gallbladder surgery on July 22nd)i've been banded for a year and i'm nowhere near goal or even half way

i keep telling my mom i want something like that, i think itll make things better ohh i also found out on the day of gallbladder surgery that i lost 11 pounds in 15 days!

i found this more painfull than lapband lol it was definitely easier to get up and sit down with the lapband, thanks! ill try an ice pack, its safe and all right? ill try tylenol later

is there anything else to relieve pain besides pain killers because the possible side effects include nausea, vommiting, dizzyness, lightheadedness, which i really dont need, i dont want bad memmories from lapband sugery..anytips?

it shouldnt happen if you chew your food well and slowly

i was expecting it to hurt for some reason, but thanks for the tip, i'll keep that in mind! i'm feeling better now and im going to stay away from toast, eek!

got 1st fill on weds since being banded(july 31st 2009) i cooked toast this morning cause i was hungry hmm well here comes the tight feeling in my chest and a few mins later the slime feeling.. 1. i'm assuming i definitely ate it too fast, yes thats my mistake and 2. its toast well i tried getting the feeling out without having it come up, tried patting my chest had my mom pat my back, i walked back and forth, none of those helped, even tried standing up as tall as i could which usually helps NOPE! so i leaned over to see if it would help NOPE came up, got the "i feel like i gotta puke" feeling kept trying to avoide puking, but it came up and it was clear slimey with no parts of the toast just milk, the second time it came up it had some cinamon in it, it was so nasty.i still feel like i need to puke but not a PB version but that a productive burp right? how many times do you puke it up when you get it? now i feel a little shakey and a little sick, is that normal?...and my gallbladder pain started before i ate the toast but went away and now that that happened it came back..?

that's what i'm guessing, but thank god i'm no longer having nausea! i only get nauseated if i'm sick

after almost a year out, i finally got my first fill! i saw my surgeon for a consultation on the gallbladder issue and he'll call for the surgery date. it felt so weird!! and it still does.. also he said i had 5cc's in it, um what? i'm pretty sure when i asked the last time i went (november 11th 2009) they said there wasnt any fluid in it. so i guess i have a total of 6cc's now..it's a 10cc band. oh my god, it finally feels good not feeling like im hungry! hopefully it stays that way for a long time!

thanks everyone, high school is over!! ♥ and i see the OB/GYN in october/november for yearly

thank you (:

thanks guys (: CarolD771- it was a very busy year, i had severe nausea for 2 and a half months and it slowly went away. i get nauseated here and there but its not bad so i missed around 4-6 weeks of school at the begining of the year, i managed to make up work thanks to a very amazing teacher i have/had (special ed), she would collect my homework for that week and bring it to me and teach me how to do the hw. it was a good year but i wish i could have enjoyed it more without being so sick. i think i would have been closer/half way to goal by now =/ i need to take control of my mind more but anyways now that school is going to be officially over, i can focus on myself more and ill hopeful be around half way to goal by the end of the year (:

Thank you(:

HEY, SORRY TO BE POSTING THIS ON HERE but anyways, i graduate from highschool tomorrow!! i was the first student that i know of who has had the band done at 18 while in highschool. i may have missed many days due to being sick the first few months of having it done but everyone has told me that i made a complete turn around. its true! my final grades are 87-96 and i made high honor roll 3 quarters in a row (1st quarter made nothing) now more about the band, i got my insurance card today!!! very exciting (: but i have news for some of those who commented my thread about gallstones i believe...i'm having surgery to get it removed, i was going to have my surgery done on july 5th but they surgeon on the hospital near me told me to call my lapband surgeon to see if he should do it and obviously they said he should do it do the surgery is cancelled and i have a consultation with my surgeon on july 7th. i just hope that this (gallblader) is what has been causing me discomfort and pain....nausea!so i say BRING IT ON!! i hope i feel 100% better after andd after i get that out, i'll be getting my first fill!!!!! finally after a year getting banded! omg! and i'll also be seeing a therapist most likely because my "depression" or whatever i have is still with me and i cant stand it, yup :smile: and i have a question..woman answer only please, my boobs have been (mainly the nipple part TMI!!!)hurting a little over two weeks, no monthly thing and no having been with guys, does mean i'll be getting my monthly thing soon? i never had that happen before

first time ever having them

well long ish story made short, i woke up around 4am yesturday cause my cat woke me up, so i went to the bathroom and came to lay back down. not even a few minutes later i started having this pain right under my left rib at the bottom so i tried laying on my left side. i thought it was a gas bubble or something but it didnt go away when i layed on my side so i tried laying on my stomach and it hurt so bad, it felt so hard and felt sort of warm it was a sharp pain so i got up and it still hurt, i walked in the living room where my mom was(my neice stays the night on fridays and she sleeps on the couch so my mom stays in there so she doesnt fall off of the couch)to tell her i was having pain there. so we all thought it was just gas pain but it was hurting more and more so i tried 3 gas-x's and it was hurting a little more, i sat down..i thought the gas-x was gonna work but nope it didnt, it got to the point where i couldnt lay, sit or stand, it hurt so bad it put me in tears so finally 25-30 mins later decided to go to the hospital. got there at 5am left at 10am...but anyways they couldnt get blood so finally at the 4th IV needle, they got it. got the results and they came back fine. when the dr came back in i told him i was having pain on my right side now and in my back so i got an ultrasound done. the results came back with gall stones. i really hope i dont have to have surgery, i should be finding out tomorrow. is anything you guys suggest?

yes, it's awesome! i wasn't expecting that at all!!

thanks! ^^

Oh my god!!!!! I now have insurance!!!!! I will be getting a fill sometime soon ahhh im so excited!!!
