Splenda
Loving everyday replied to Loving everyday's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I will do that Now, thank you for the advise. -
I had a great NSV this morning, I was getting ready for work and decided that my pants are getting very baggy so I tried on a pair of pants I haven't been able to fit into in about a year and they fit great, I am so happy cuz they were pretty pricey, I am so happy I get to enjoy them now. I also enjoy my tummy not rubbing up again the stearing wheel when I drive

Loving everyday replied to imaluckydog's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello everybody, I was banded on June 29th as well, I go in for my second fill on 8/31, I am very excited about it. I have noticed that I eat a whole lot less especially in the past two weeks then I have thru this whole adventure so far. Like last night I could only eat about 5 inches of my footlong from subway and that was without cheese and mayo....just veggies and chicken, thank goodness my other half ate the rest for me =) -
Help Thirsty all the time
Loving everyday replied to lapgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am thirsty all the time as well, especially in the mornings but if I drink to fast in the morning time it will give me a tummy ache. I am consistenly drinking thru out the day, my favorite is just plain old ice tea that I make myself with maybe a packet of splenda mixed in. Have you had any fills? -

Bandsters in Their 20's
Loving everyday replied to Mia26's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 25 and banded on 6/29/09, I feel like that day is my new birthday, I will never forget it. I am down 27 pounds and have had one fill, still searching for that sweet spot. I think my real journey actually started last week, it was the first time I wasn't craving foods and was okay with not eating dinner or skipping a snack. I feel normal not like the big girl eating the huge plate of food. I even brought out my heels last week and started to wear them to work again. Before my feet would be to swollen and my confidents would be to low but it is starting to get back up there and I am starting to see the real me again. -
I was told that the gas from the carbonated beverage's can get trapped in your pouch and cause your stomach to come up thru the band and get stuck (like a reverse effect), then they have to do emergency surgery....That is how my dietican sorta explained it to me. I am still in my 6 months of no alcohal phase, only 2 months out =(

Hello!! I am glad you have decided to get a band. I know how hard it can be going thru all the insurance stuff but it is worth it. I was banded on June 29th and just had my first fill, I can't wait for my next fill so I can get to me "sweet spot" :tongue2:

Can I have unprotected sex?
Loving everyday posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 1/2 weeks post op, I take a birth control pill everyday...I haven't missed one since my surgery. Am I protected from pregnancy? Is there something in the medicine they give us at the hospital that could cancel out my birth control? Thank You, -
Does someone have an iced tea recipe?
Loving everyday replied to elcee's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am a teaholic I make tea at my work all the time.... Using one decafe tea bag fill a 32 ounce cup with one cup of hot Water, let tea bag sit in there for a minute while you add a packet of splenda. Add ice till the cup is full of ice and enjoy...the ice will melt in the hot water making yummy ice tea....add a lemon wedge if you want. :crying: -
I get my first fill on August 3rd, I was told to only have full liquids that day then the next day mushies then back to normal. I actually e-mail my dietican here is what she said: Good questions! On the day of your fill you will want to do liquids only-- this can include all of the full liquids too. Refer back to your nutrition book (week 1 and 2) for suggestions. The day after your fill you will need to do soft foods (refer to week 3 of your book) and then the next day you are back to wherever you were in the diet progression. You can definitely eat, or drink something rather, before your fill that day. We look forward to seeing you then! Hope this helps!!

Birth Control Pill and Weight Loss
Loving everyday replied to travelinsnorkel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I still take my pill everyday, the first day after surgery I grinded it up but that was pointless, from that day on I have taken it and it has gone down just fine. The pill is so small. Now tylenol is impossible =) -
Have you noticed that your palate has changed?
Loving everyday replied to cookiebaby's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Loving everyday replied to Loving everyday's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you guys for your support, I think I am getting mainly head hungers for sure. I think I am starting to freak out and realize that I am actually doing this so my old habits are trying to break thru like telling myself ooohhh it is okay to eat that. One day at a time right guys?
