For some reason it seems like I am tighter in the morning. I can hardly eat anyting for breakfast and for lunch and dinner I can eat alright without everything getting stuck. Is anyone else expericing this problem and is it normal?

Ok, I have had lap band for almost 6 months and I am at 7cc. Ok my thing is what in the world can I eat for breakfast? I cant eat eggs,they get stuck I cant eat bread I cant eat certain kinds of meat so what else is left beside oatmeal and grits? Oh yeah did I mention I hate oatmeal. I love cereal but its just like drinking while eating, you wont stay full long. HELP!!!!:thumbup:

I hate soda but I had to drink some becasue That was the only way I could burp so I could get that CO2 gas out that they put in. It had no effect on me, I think lol

I had surgery on Dec. 31 and the first two days were good, I was in no pain. But Now I have a lot of pain with the gas. It wont come out, I walk, im taking the gas x chewables and still nothing. When I take deep breaths I cant hardly breath. I cant even drink anything because it hurts so bad. What can I do?

I had lapband surgery on Dec. 31 at 1pm and I am a little sore because of the gas but this is not really what I thought it was going to be. I thought I would be laid out on the couch in pain. Sometimes I think to myself did they even put anything in there, but I can tell that they did because when I drink something I feel a little restiction unless its just gas,lol!! But I feel really good and I hope many of u will have this same experience. Oh yeah did any of u get this watch looking thing on ur wrist that stops nausea?:Yawn:

oh my gosh I would have never thought that it would effect singing! I am in school, I am a voice major. I have voice lesson a week after sugery,wow! I hope everything will be ok. :tongue_smilie:

hi i am getting banded on 12-31-08 i am so excited i have been counting down the days five more

omg I have been looking for someone who has or is doing the suagr busters diet. Ok, I am doing it to and I feel like I have cheated. Do you think it is ok for me to eat sugar free pudding and suagr free candy? I didnt eat alot because I was scared I wasnt supposed to be eating it.

oh yeah. lojo what time on dec 18 did u go see dr. bagnato. I was there around 2:30

Hi I'm getting banded by Dr. Bagnato on Dec. 31 cant wait! Omg did any of you have to do sugar busters? If so, can you eat cold cereal,what kind if so? I love cereal and that is all I'm craving right now,lol!!!

oh yeah maybe u can still try the ins. and can get your money back what you paid out of pocket.

HEY I'm also under my dad's BCBS fed plan. I did not have to do a 6 month diet. The only thing I had to do was go to the consultation and have my DR. submited a form to BCBS and in six days they approved it. I wish you would have tried the ins. first it would have saved alot of money. But I have no idea about the pre- certification.

oh no draw blood:thumbdown: I'm going to get over that one day,lol! But thanks for the info.

I have a pre-op appt this thursday and I was wondering what do they actually do? Will they be doing blood work? I have no clue, this is my first time getting surgery.

My Dr. put me on the sugar buster diet. I was wondering did anyone have to do this? What types of food did you eat? I know the list says lean meats veggies and fruit. Are you able to eat sugar free foods like sugar free jell-o and pudding? or even sugar free cookies,lol
