  1. Happy 24th Birthday vino!

  2. Happy 23rd Birthday vino!

  3. 2 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary vino!

  4. I, too, had some astounding burps post-op, as well as a gurgly tummy. A couple of weeks ago, during a midterm, my stomach was growling louder than the pits of hell...the girl next to me kept looking at me like what is wrong with you? Since then, I make sure to eat SOMETHING before class :bored:

    Stock in Kotex

    I know the feeling! I had a period for a little over a month while taking birth control pills. I have endometriosis, and when I went to see my OB-GYN he started me on a different brand and I'm doing great. Maybe you should try switching birth control methods? I told my doctor that I had had LapBand in June, and he said cycles usual get BETTER with weight loss, not worse.
  6. sorry for the late response...I need to visit this site more often!

     

    i know...now a lot of people our age are getting this done! just nobody i know personally haha.

    protein shots????

    I drink at least one of these everyday! Mine only have 25g of protein per shot, but it's still a very effective way to get your protein in.
  8. mine's right in the middle, a few inches above my waistline.
  9. lol. No problem. I swear right before I got my band there was maybe one or two people my age now there is a ton!

  10. i know...kind of a random friend request but i've been trying to find some ppl my age that have had lapband. hope you're doing great!

  11. thanks so much for the info! my first fill isn't until the 23rd (kinda nervous!). please let me know how yours goes!

    cocktails??

    I know somebody else (older than me) who was banded by my doctor, and she said the same thing to her. I should have been a little more specific lol.

    cocktails??

    My doctor told me to wait 1 year before drinking. I guess it's not a big deal for me, though, since I won't be 21 until next July:tongue2:
  15. Hello, everybody! I had a quick question about eating meat after surgery. I've heard that it is okay to eat tuna or very moist chicken during the "mushies" stage of the post-op diet, but the paperwork my nutritionist gave me says to stay away from it. The post-op diet suggested to me is as follows: Week 1-Clear liquids and Protein drinks Week 2-regular liquids and Protein Drinks Weeks 3 & 4-mushies Week 5-regular food, chopped into tiny bits Week 6-regular food :thumbup: I know that different surgeons suggests different diets to their patients, and I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on the issue. I'd appreciate your input!
