This is where I get confused. When you eat just a cup of food is that around 300 calories? I am having problems with amounts. I am about 8 wks out and I am suppose to start adding food that I can chew thoroughly. I am not restricted yet so I must be careful. This has been a definite challenge for me. Prior to LAP-BAND® I restricted my calories to 1000 a day.

We are going to St Marteen. Where are you going? I hope I can judge the amounts I will be eating. Cant wait

I am leaving on a cruise 10-17. Makes me nervous. At that point I will be 7 weeks out. Any suggestions to make my food choices easier?

Went for post op today. Dr said that my pain in my stomach was being caused by a nerve condition. He explained that when he puts the port in some nerves are moved. I explained that yesterday I had to stand up most of the day. If the pain is not gone in 2 weeks he will give me something specifically for that nerve. I had the surgery to get off meds not take more. I was so concerned about the food etc.... surely not this pain a month out.

I am changing the topic I guess but I am getting frustrated. I was banded 9-2 and the pain on the left side is getting worse. Today at work I had to stand to get any releif. Seeing Dr tomorrow for post op visit. The thought of him pressing on my stomach is panicing me. Any one else had this problem? First day I am starting to regret my decision.

Thank you for the info.

Hi, I have asked this question several times. I need my omega 3 oil. Gummies??? Where can I get some info. I do not like fish so I need a supplement. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

I take LiquiMax from Costco. My whole family takes it.

I take LiquiMax from Costco. I took it before being banded. My whole family takes it. I need a suggestion for Omega 3. Fish is not my favorite. Always took a supplemant but can not take it now.

I forgot to ask what kind of shakes are you drinking? Check the sugar content. Just a thought. My shakes have about 160 calories.

Hi, Are you sure that you eating enough?

You are not the only one experiencing the up and down lbs. I do not understand it either. I have no restriction yet. I am doing 800 calories also. I go down 1 lb and up 2 lbs. They are adjusting my meds also. Scarey to me cause my bp drops 30 points at a time. Guess we both have to have patience. What are you eating?

Please add me. Jenno 9-2-09

Thank you for your encouragement. I guess I just needed to be vent. What is really funny.....I am craving carbonation, not necessary soda but the feeling of carbonation. Weird!
