Hi there! I saw that you are from the Thousand Oaks area, I work in that city. How is it going for you? Have you reached your goal weight yet? I'd love to hear about your experience as I will be getting banded next Wednesday! Hope to chat soon! - Marie

Hi Jenni! I am so glad to hear from you! You were in my thoughts on Wednesday and Thursday and then to get a note from you, how cool. I have already had my 2nd adjustment. I went at six weeks po and I am needing another one now. I will call on Monday to see if I can get in on Wednesday. I was going to ask Dr. Feiz how you were doing......How is life with your second adjustment? I felt more restriction with it for about 2 1/2 weeks then I was able to eat more again but I have kept it to a minimum of food intake. I am still not drinking enough water nor am I exercising enough but I am down 30 pounds. How is your weight loss going? How is work going?
How was you visit with Dr. Feiz? Did he find anything wrong with your tummy?
Thanks for getting in touch! I will be talking to you again soon! Cheryl

Hey there... good to hear from you! Sounds like we are on the same page, I am down 36 pounds now and have had 3 fills..up to 6.8 cc's in my 10 cc band. I really can't tell anymore if I am at the sweet spot, it is such a confussing feeling!
I happy for your success! Can't wait to see how much more you loose in the future!! -
Banded today..some discomfort..HELP!!!
stareeide4u replied to 2911plans's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
congrats on getting your band! the hard part is over! the gas-x strips will definitely help! i carry those with me everywhere now. getting up and walking will definitely help. i slept in a recliner for the first few days because a bed wasnt comfy... definitely keep sipping the warm liquids because those will help. remember, the pain is only temporary... soon, the pounds will be flying off and you will be so happy! trust me! im 2 months in and i still think my band is the best thing i could have done for myself. if you ever get down, definitely come on here and you will find a ton of support! hope we can stay in contact through our band journeys! jenny -
thanks for the advice. i didnt have a fill, but i did have an appointment to get one on tuesday. i talked to my doc and he said it could have been any number of things (gas, eating too fast, eating too much, something not related to the band, or not drinking enough water). i think it was not enough Water because i have drank a ton of water the last couple of days and the pain is gone! i am definitely going to make sure i drink all my water everyday so i dont have that pain anymore!

Protein shakes make me vomit
stareeide4u replied to mpetterc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there. i am sorry you are struggling with your Protein shakes. i had the same problem when i first started... i have tried myoplex, which isnt too bad, except it is a little thick... i have also tried Isopure from GNC, but it made me feel gasy... then i tried unjury, which isnt bad, but you have to order it online... finally, i just got some new stuff from gnc. its called gnc pro performance 60 amp in chocolate. its really thin and goes really well with water! it actually tastes just like chocolate milk! i am a big fan. it comes in different sizes and a couple other flavors. the guy at the store said it was really popular and people actually liked the taste. even better, it has 60 grams of protein in 12 ounces! hope this helps! good luck on your weight loss journey!
