Hi Poma,

Since my surgery, I have been doing alot of protein shakes as a snack..I had my first fill on march 18th, really didnt notice any restiction..But they say its usually the 3 or 4th when u can feel the restriction..So I am lookin forward to that..I usually cant eat much in the mornin, am tighter then..So i drink coffee or some grits..Then later on I drink protein shake, then supper which is mostly chicken or fish..I have been able to eat mostly anything, so I am due again for another fill here soon,hopefully in the next 2 weeks..My first fill was only 2cc, So the next one I cant wait...But I now I've lost 29 pounds...Oh I ride my bike every other day...But its a gradual process and your will get there ... But congrats on your band and good luck....

Hi Shelley, I havent been on in awhile..Hope you are doing great..I am kinda bummed out, I am at a stand still with my weight and well if i get a fill even a lil I wont be able to eat..I had to have some of my fill taken out since I wasnt able to keep anything down except for soups. So now I am eating pretty good, small portions yet still at not losing any weight at the point..Idk..It gets fustrating but I know I have lost some weight, but I would like to lose at least another 30 pounds..I have been at this stand still for 2 months now..I wanted to knonw if you are still going thru the samething..and let me know how you are doing..Hope to hear from you soon and you look soooo great...

HI Simon, Glad you joined Lapband Talk its a great forum, Keep up the good work you doing,Congrats on your lapband..If you want to ask me anythin about the band feel free too..Even though I am like in my 4th month..I am always here to help..Good Luck

Hi Skegee, Thank you so much for the compliment I had the lapband surgery feb09 this year..I can say I am so glad I did..I havent had any problems with it so far..Only thing is when it that time of the month, my band seems to be tighter..I figure since most women are bloated of course the band is gonna feel tighter.. So I usually go on my liquid diet those couple of days..I tell you if you drink after you it..I know my food comes right back up.But not like throwing up its stuck right there,which i want to get it out..know what i mean..But I am doing really well and I usually drink protien shakes and soft food from time to time..Well good luck with your LB..Let me know how your doing and if you decide to get it..You will be happy you did..

I am doin better.I just still am sore mostly in the mornings.That is the worst part gettin to get movin around, but later on I feel better..I have been drinkin broth,jello and some hot tea..I am starting to feel hungry this 2 week liquid diet is a real pain..I know we are suppose to eat nothin, but I sure think some mashed potatoes sounds real good right now..lol..I think the walkin helps out alot..I got the chewable vitamins from gnc with calcium..They taste good and I got the liquid vitamins i mix them with water, they are ok..Well we are gonna be doing great here soon. When I try to burp it hurts alot, do you have that too? Well I am gonna sit back and drink some hot tea..Glad you are feelin better..Just think we are gonna have to go buy us some clothes here soon..woohooo...Hugs to ya...

Got 1cc..Cant tell muh diff...But I am suppose to get another fill in 3 weeks..Lets see if I can tell the diff..Hopefully I will..I cant tell muh with this fill..But that is something you tore a stitch...Hmmm you were jumping around..lol.I bet you were being naughty when u did that..haha..hint hint..Anyways enough of my crazii talkin..How muh weight have u lost.I have lost 22 pounds..and workin my way down to more lost..woohooo...Hope u are feelin better and take it easy on the jumpin round.lol..hugs..
