That’s awesome. Congrats! Ohh bypass, I do hear that you lose a lot with bypass....I just want to get down to 155-160 where I was. It was a perfect weight. I just don’t want to get too skinny if that even makes sense ??‍♀️

Hi everyone! So it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here. I had the lapband for 9 years and did amazing! Until I needed emergency surgery to have it removed ? that was two years ago...I’ve gained all my weight back! I was wondering what is your experience from going to the band to sleeve? Pros and cons? Thank you

I was curious to know about morning sickness and being pregnant? Is it the same kind of throwing up we did before banding..is their a higher risk to slip since you throw up so much? I only ask because if I did get pregnant again that would be my concern.With my twins i was pretty sick the first 15 wks and then 20-24wks or so and I puked a few times a day. Thanks ladies~

First off CONGRATS! How exciting...second of all from what I understand after you have the baby 6wks later you can start getting fills again. If your worried about your pouch being streched you can do the 5 day pouch test to re-shrink it. I know your freaked about the weight gain but your pregnant! Cherish this and after your baby is born you can get back on track. Hugs!

Goodevening Kristen, I was told 12 to 18 months. Although I know a few girls that got pregnant 5 to 8 months out and all had healthy BIG babies. Their surgeons weren't concerned and they ended up getting a unfil so that they could get the proper nutrition needed.GL...I'm hoping the same for myself eventually:)

LOL DONT DO IT CRIMMY!!! SELF CONTROL MY DEAR.. But who am I to talk, hear I am drinking a LONG Island Ice tea:)

GL tomorrow! I was terrrrifed of having this surgery! But once its said and done you'll look back and say it wasnt that bad. Of course your going to have some pain,soreness exp. when you need to walk or move. My only advice is to keep up on the pains meds even if you feel ok and to walk, walk, walk! It will help you heal faster and will help all the trapped in gas pains to move out! You may want to get a heating pad and some gas-x..heating pad will help if you get the shoulder gas pains. If you have any questions feel free to come in to Chat, great support group in there also~ Gl and congrats hun, Brie

Clear liquids are broth(note: the top ramen packages are sooo much better than reg broth)of course water, jello and some docs consider popsicles and protein shakes as clears. Hope this helps..

Jackie: Oh I left out one lil part also, but minus well tell you. When she had me lay down she said "oh ur small" and i said are we talking about my port or my vajayjay...lol Only because everytime i get a pap they always have to use the smaller ones because ive never had babies down there..ya so anyways thought ud enjoy that one too LMAO hehe

LOL thanks Jackie and GUY thats was great....yea what a mess hopefully the second one isnt as bad! Thanks for all the comments so far:P

So I went in for my 3month check up yesterday and at first it went well. I had told my surgeon that Im snacking more and never hungry so thats when she decieded to give me a fill. They dont want me to eat to just eat she said. She did also tell me that im doing great, down 48lbs in total with pre-op.28 lbs since surg. OK so whatever I layed down, told me to act like I was going to do a crunchie and then numbed me all over with ladicane (cant spell?! lol). Then she brings out this 4" freakin needle and wants to find my port with it, well the freakin thing ends up snapping! I about died...gets a second needle and then tells me to stand up. At this point i start sweating, didnt know if i was gonna throw up or shit myself all in the same time lol The nurse hands me a cup of Water and says start sipping while she adjust the saline. So take a sip or two nothing, told them I feel sick thats about it. They said go ahead and take a drink, ok so I started burping, then another sip burp then I could feel teh water sitting in my throat. She then took saline out and told me to take another drink and I was fine, felt it go down. THEN SHE TRIES TO TAKE THE FREAKIN NEEDLE OUT AND ITS STUCK! All I could say to her was "the bitch is stuck" lol Thats what did me in, I almost fainted, had to sit down afterwords for about 15mins b4 I could go home. I was soo nauseas. First fill was 4cc's in a 10cc band...i feel ok today not as nauseas but last night it was bad. Dry heaving for about an hr..I'm freaked out to eat anything now! Im clears until tomorrow and im pretty sure its head hunger BUT I think im really hungry. Its weird. Anyways that was my exciting story~ *wanted to clarify...the needle didnt break off in my port thankfully broke in the middle..too big i guess?

Hey Phy, Its brie, i cant get either right now and im getting the same respone. Very werid! Hopefully they fix it soon...

Hey ladies thanks foor the feed back. WTG on the wieghtloss also. I will def. try and start eating more, its hard like you said though. I feel like its more of a need to eat than a want you know. So today I will make sure I am eating enough so that way the weight still comes off. TY for the tip on the beans, I cant wait!

:Dancing_wub:Hi guys, Well I thought I'd come and share my exciting news and get some other ideas for more full liquid stuff. Like I mentioned I am a week out from surgery today and down 12lbs. (209 lbs) and feeling pretty good. Only complaint I have is the soreness I feel on my left side, I guess where my port is. The other exciting news is after 3 yrs of using medicine to get a period it has returned on it's own without meds. Very encouraging considering I'd like to try for another baby in a yr or two~:laugh: Today is my first day of full liquids, a total of 3wks of liquids in total! I was on 9 days of clears and I am so ready for a change. My full liquids list consist of smoothies,cream Soups,apple sauce,pudding and cream of wheat. And of course in between that Protein shakes and Clear Liquids. Was wondering what else people were drinking... Also is it normal to not feel hungry yet? I cant tell when I am full either, although I dont really push myself. I have between 4-6oz with each "meal". Is this normal?
