hey I wanna join!

I was bored when I was awake, but I was in and out. The hospital also had an internet terminal so I was on this site a lot too. But I think and ipod should suffice, or a magazine. Nothing too engaging

Single 22 year old female who enjoys long walks on the beach... kidding! Seriously though,I just got banded on Thursday and a biddy would be a great help! I'm 22 and a senior Marketing major at Hampton University in Virginia. I have a lot of weight that I'm trying to lose and my support system is good but not not of them really know what I'm going through. So... If you wanna be my buddy PM me please...

yea... I found a potato soup recipe. But Im getting bored

yea, reading the other posts has been really helpful. I don't think I've logged off since I got home from surgery! Thanks everyone!!!

I dont think I will... the gas that Im experienceing does not need to be increased by any means!

-Shopping wherever I want for clothes -Being comfortable on a plane -More bladder control -More energy -More dates!

I start on my full liquids tomorrow, and it goes on for a month. I need some creative ideas to keep me from cheating... help

stiff, sore, gassy, and full!

Just to walk around to get the gas out and drink my liquid when I'm hungry. The walking is helpful but I think Im full... so its hard to get in all my liquids

Ditto! I heard benefiber can help too. I cant get all my liquid in either though... I feel so full

I cant take this GAS!

go to the official LapBand website or the Realize band website and attend one of the free seminars. Talking to the people really helped me make my decision.

I use the Ramen noodle seasoning packets to flavor the broth, otherwise it makes me gag. Peppermint caffeine free tea is also a big help!

I got banded 2 days ago and Im on Clear liquids still. The problem I'm facing though is trying to figure out whether I'm ungry or just gassy?! Im so confused and VERY uncomfortable, how can I tell the difference?

Hey guys! Im from Delaware and was banded by Dr. Wynn in Newark. No fills yet though, just got mine yesterday.

I joined the crew at 2:30 yesterday too, still in the hospital though, just making sure I can hold down liquids. Im not good with anesthesia either so Im a little nauseated. Congrats too the rest of you 18t bandsters too... I guess it makes us the cool kids!

I got banded on the 18th too! How did your exams go? How did your surgery go?

I got banded yesterday and I'm soooo excited!

As of today I've joined the crew! Feeeling great already just extremely hungry.

me too... but im not full! did you have surgery today?

softer, the sound of crushed ices sounds disguisting to me... currently it's a pen cap

and I want to chew on something soooooo bad!

My surgeon requires a 48 hour clear liquid diet before surgery which I started today. I am officially STARVING! Aside from broth... any ideas?
