  1. Happy 27th Birthday Laur86n!

  2. Happy 26th Birthday Laur86n!

  3. good luck...hope we can keep in touch with our preggy progress :)

  4. Hey! Thanks for the help! My 8wk apt. will be on tuesday! we are right on the same pace! Good luck and thank you!

  5. So, Im 23, I was banded in March, and have lost a total of 35lbs. I just found out I am about 7 weeks pregnant! I asked my lapband doc. about having pains in my collarbone when i take deep breaths... anyone else having this? My doc had no answer. I also have pain when I burp in my stomach, and Im not having much of an appetite at all... I just want to be sure Im eating enough for me AND the baby. when I do eat- I eat healthy! Cant wait to hear what everyone thinks! oh, and this is my first pregnancy!
  6. :confused: 23 year old female, I was banded March 10th and it's June 3rd- after ALMOST 3 months I have lost 24 lbs, which Im proud of, but i feel like I am FAARR behind most lapbanders! I started to run and hurt my knee for a few weeks, and have not been able to get back into the groove of things! I just need someone to push me! I feel like Im not making the progress that I had imagined!!

    Bloating & Gas after fill?

    Hey ya'll, oh my gosh, im so glad i found this thread even though there arent many answers here yet! I had my first fill last monday and come weds/thursday I had those gas pains, like after surgery, and they progressed throughout the weekend so bad, all i wanted to do was crouch over! I took all the gas x I could, then I had my sister go out and she bough infants mylecon and some liquid tylenol b/c i was SO uncomfortable!! Neither of those seemed to help too much! So I had made an apt. for the following monday--- ONE WEEK AFTER THE FIRST FILL--- to get a small "deflation"... well long story short- they didnt read the papers and put another full cc IN the band!! When they said that I flipped out and started crying, haha, poor doctor! I was furious. They acted like the gas pains were something new and that they'd go away, one of the nurses told me to take ducolax just to clear it out... i did, its gotten slowely better, and ive been drinking hot tea. BY THE WAY, THEY DIDNT REMOVE ANY SALENE. Im at 3 cc now.. all I can do is HOPE its not like this at every fill!!! and good luck to ya'll!!
  8. That is super Exciting! The Doc I am thinking about is SUPER STRICT and seems to be a stickler for diets.... I think he is going to try to torture me..... You may have only lost 2.5 lbs because you lost so much the week before. Sometimes your body decides to rebel... It is unfortunate but I bet it will be better next week!

  9. I can eat normal foods now! My doctor only had me on the pre op diet for 14 days, and it wasnt liquids, it was just high protien and low fat. And after surgery I had no appetite for about a week so the liquids was no problem! The first week I lost 13 lbs, and last week I only lost 2.5!! ??? But, last week I was eating alot of mushy/ whole wheat carbs because I ate meat once and didnt chew enough, so I was scared, but I'm back to normal now and cant WAIT to get my first fill, its april 6th!! YAY

  10. Woot! That is so exciting! When do you get to switch to decent food? I think that is gonna be the hardest part for me, being on a liquid or mushie diet... Did you weigh in Yet?

  11. Hey! Ya, Im up and runnin like normal--- not litterally! I get to start workin out next week, im pumped, cant wait cuz that'll help shed some major lbs!!!

  12. I am So Happy for you!! Hopefully you lose a ton this week. Are you back to 100% after the surgery?

  13. workin hard I see!!!! pshh

  14. Hi! Thanks! My surgery went really well, I'm only 2 weeks out, havent weighed yet this week, last week I was down 13lbs! Cant wait to weight this week!!!! yyaaayy!

  15. I came across your super fun pictures that you put up and decided to stop and post a msg. I hope your banding went well! Good luck!
