Yay I got my first fill today! :thumbup: im on liquids den movin on to soft foods n then solids..if this fill isnt enough den I'll be getting another 1 in 3 weeks

LOL @ ur story..I cant wait 2 get my fill tomorrow!

LMAOOO Im def gonna start using that "ARE YOU SUPPOST 2 BE EATING THAT?!"...LOL thats gonna b my answer 4 now on lol

lol..once u tell 1 person its like ur tellin the world! lol

yea were almost the same date! good luck 2 u..Im sure we'll do great

Yea I tell ppl that I wanna weight 160 and they look at me like im insane...im 5'8 how much do u want me to weigh? I didnt get the lap band to weight 200 pounds!

LOL I feel u

omg u look so gorgous! I cant wait to drop all this weight! lol good job girl

lol Thanks Jennifer! n congratz

LMAO same with my mom...at times she'll be like "ok dont eat that, eat this instead"...or "your eating too much" but then later she'll order KFC and give me fried chicken

Thing with me is that Im younger, so when older family members say ignorant things I cant really disrespect them. I'll roll my eyes and say something and keep it moving. But when my younger cousin or sister says stuff then I'll just go off. So its kinda different, theres just no explaining anything cuz the older 1's think they know it all

I didnt tell everybody..Everybody else told everybody lol

good thing u told ur counselor...u can always talk to them when u have problems

I honestly dont think u need to tell your school about ur band. The only person that would know would be the nurse and Im sure she will have that on file along with your medical history..And Im sure ur doctor can write up a note to ur gym teacher to let him or her know that u cannot do certain activites until a certain period of time

Thanks..thats why I love comming on this board cuz everybody on here can relate and understand. Cause were all going thru this together. But people on the outside dont see that, they see strict things. And the worse part is how they all tend to look at my body. I can wear something today that makes me look small so they all congratulate me but then the next week I wear something that makes me look a lil bit bigger and someone will say "for some reason u look bigger" or "looks like u gained 3 pounds!" and that just kills. It makes me feel like im in jail and im on a surveillance camara

LMAO...I feel u cuz even my boyfriend does dat to me at times! I havent had mc donalds in like 2months so I wanted small fries and 4 piece chicken nuggets...So when I got to his house with my food he looks at me like I have 4 eyes! Im like what?! I cant eat mc donalds?! This isnt going to make me gain any weight..I use 2 eat mc donalds almost every day (large fries 2 mc chickens and a small drink) but now I got small fries and chicken nuggets (which is nothing 2 me) and hes having a heart attack. Atleast I changed the SIZE of my meal lmaoo be happy about that, dont exspect me to just give up mc donalds for the rest of my damn life...I wont eat it everyday or every week, only once in a blue moon (maybe once every 2 months)...but dont beat me up when that day comes...DAMN lol my doc told me I can eat things like dat once in a while in small portions so why u acting like Im banned from all the good foods? lol

yeah I always tell them what it is cuz once you start with me, I always finish....But its not on some serious arguing, its more like friendly...But I sometimes get serious cuz I tend to get frustated when its the same idiot that keep asking me why am I eating this or that. Alot of people are supportive butttt at the same time they get on my nerves. Maybe they're just trying to help but in the WRONG ways. Like they will say "wow ur losin weight u look good keep it up" but then the next few days its like "wow are u suppost 2 be eating that?!" "your never going to lose weight" so on and so on. That makes me feel like if Im going to eat then I might as well eat alone

Don't you hate when the people who kno about ur surgury are watchin what u eat? Its so annoying! I never asked anyone 2 b my doctor! They dont need to tell me what to eat! I feel like im in jail! They all act like I cant eat ANYTHING! Just cuz I had 2 do the stupid liquid diet for 4 weeks, they think I have to be on that for the rest of my life! Like give me a freakin break! I move on to soft foods and they acting like I cant do that. And solids are like Im disobeying my diet to them..Im 1 month post op if I want a small portion of rice let me freakin have it! Im human just like everybody else and it makes me mad when people look at me like Im some alien just because im eating chicken! Like what the hell do u exspect me to eat? salade and water all day?!?! Its like they want to see me starve and thats how Im suppost to lose weight in their eyes. B4 the lap band, ppl would be like "u shouldnt be eatin all of that" buttt now after the lap band they wanna be like "ARE YOU SUPPOST 2 BE EATING THAT?!" or "ISNT THE LAP BAND SUPPOST 2 B MAKING U EAT LESS"...Like no shit dumbass I have no fill n no restriction, Im still hungry. I'll be gettin my first fill in like 2 days. This is not a miracle weight loss plan its going to take time. It took time for me to gain weight it will take some time to lose it. Im just gettin frustrated with ppl looking to see what I eat. I have to defend myself all the time and yell at them because they are so IGNORANT! They cant ever look at the positive things that I did. Such as gettin up every morning to walk 4 miles and at night another 4 miles. Drink water constantly and I watch my calorie intake. I lost 19 pounds so far, maybe more, I'll know when I go to the doctor. But nobody wants to see that, they just look at what I put in my mouth! But I got so fed up with the bullshit I just ignore negative comments. Anybody else going thru this?

Hey Im 21...I had my surgury july 17..was in ALOTTT of pain afterwards but eventually it went away...Im exactly 1 month post op! I lost 19 pounds so far and Im hoping to lose 5 more b4 I get my first fill next week

today is sun and the doc office is closed...Im goin 2 a party 2day n I plan on drinking atleast 1 drink...I think it will be ok

I had my surgury July 17th and I feel like I lost my damn mind...One day I thought I could eat a lil more then yesterday and now I dont even kno how much I eat. Sometimes I 4get that the band is inside of me cuz I have no pain and I feel no restriction...I sometimes eat and drink at the same time...Alot of people look at me and tell me that I look great but I feel bad cuz I kno Im not eating right. But I try 2 get up and excersize everyday. I chew alot but now my problem is drinking along with food...I got tired of waiting 30 min and since drinking with food didnt cause any problems I thought I could sneak it in from time 2 time...I kno this behavior has 2 stop and im gonna make sure it does...I jus really want my first fill!!!!

cant wait to get my fill! I cant even control snacking at times :biggrin: cant wait to start classes...I'll be wayy 2 busy 2 think about food

my doc never said I couldnt have it...he even said I could have soda from time 2 time..but because of what I've been reading Im jus gonna stay away from soda period...He asked me if I drink alcohol and I said when I go 2 parties and stuff and he said no prob...but Im gonna call on monday 2 check 2 see if Im allowed 2 have a glass of malibu bay breeze

wait we cant have liquor until 1 YEAR post op??????? Im about to be 1 month post op and I plan on drinking on my man's bday this week...I really hope I'll be allowed 2 atleast drink a glass of something cuz dats all I want..im not a heavy drinker so im not dieing. I only drink when I go 2 parties and clubs but if I have 2 wait 1 year then partyin is gonna really blow...I gave up alcohol on the 4th of july (first day of pre-op) and that was HARD cuz there was nothing but liquor and fireworks.. I can live without drinkin beer but no liquor for 1 year sucks...guess turnin 21 this year meant nothing :biggrin:

I was banded a day after u (july 17) and I feel the same exact way! I can eat anything now cause everything goes down...Sometimes I forget that I even have the lap band inside of me! the other day I ate and drank at the same time cuz I really forgot bout the band...I feel reg again...in the beginning when I was healing I was never hungry but now, 4get about it...I still eat in small portions but I find that Im not satisfied..I do believe that after a few fills everything will be different. I guess we gotta be patient and try 2 follow the rules as best as possible
