I will try that. My incisions look great now but you can still see the band aide burns. Crazy. I have never been allergic to them before. But I also have whacky allergies so it does not surprise me.

Thank you. I didn't know I how to check comments on here. I am doing much better now with very little pain :thumbup: Though my weight has stalled the last 2 days.

that's a great idea :thumbup:

Things are going pretty good. Stomach noise is getting better. Today I think I actually hit my protein goal. It's all veggie meat. I wonder if it will help shed weight? I am still having shoulder pain. It's pretty awesome. But after reading some of my surgery day pals emails makes me think I have it easy. One girl still has port pain. Mine is practically healed. Thanks to bacitracin. I am still using it a little because it seems to be making the scars dissapear! So no major weight change in the last few days. But I need to exercise. I will do 45 treadmil tonight. Promise. :thumbup: Big Brother tonight. Yahoooooo.

I read that some people go 9mths without the first fill because they're losing. I have good restriction too. I was banded 8/27/09. My doctor is strict on waiting 6 weeks before the first fill and I thought that would be imposible, but I have lost 11 pounds already and that's awesome.

Nothing really new. I have been eating small mushy meals. I have eaten out twice now and I enjoy being able to eat 1/4-1/5 of the serving and not feeling the need to eat more. I do find that waitresses are obsessed with you ordering a drink. It's a hard thing to get around. Last night she asked me 3 times! I have to admit I have not eaten the healthiest but I am eating really small portions of the food I love. I hope that's ok. I need to find healthy mushy vegetarian food. Heh. Pitta Pizza I am sure is not considered diet food. But I have sworn off ever dieting again. I want to eat real food just alot less. I have not lost in the last few days. But I am way less gassy so I am a happy girl. Sarah :thumbup:

Oh shoulder gas pain where did you come from? I could barely work today. I gave into taking a vicodin so I can sleep. I think this is the worst I have had it. Other than the SHOULDER pain from hell. My surgery is doing great. I at 2 veggie chicken nuggets and had no issues! Food does not seem to taste half as good as it used to. I find over chewing kills the taste making me not want to eat. So I guess that's good. I still love my coconut popsicles. Not sure how to give those up.

I am 14 day out and am having a terrible bout of shoulder gas pain. Gah. I agree that it's worse than the abdominal pain. It's a stabbing jabbing pain that grates my nerves.

Ode to shoulder gas pain. I thought I was done with this. Guess not! I have spent the last 3 hours moaning. I hate this feeling. Maybe I should take some gas stuff. Other than that I am really looking forward to mushy foods! I could drool thinking about something yummy. :thumbdown: Oh they have a smiley for that. So I lost another pound. I am rockin' the lap band! Blog readers please comment.

Yay! Milestone one, I have lost 10 pounds! I am 10% to my goal. I am soooo in love with my lapband. I ate 1 package of oatmeal and was very full. I used to eat 3 at a time and never felt really full. I am so excited. I really believe I will hit my goals. :thumbdown:

Yay! Labor Day! OOh so I am just relaxing today. My incisions are healing very nicely :thumbdown: I have also been eating chunkier liquids. I 4 bites of pureed mac and cheese. It was satisfying but way to filling. I love that I can eat tiny bites of food and be full. I am trying to figure out not to have liquids for 2 hours. It seems like torture.

Day 10 rocks! Ok so I am finally look less puffy and my incisions are looking great. I feel great today. I am so ready to eat mushy food but have till weds I think. Sigh. I have been so good with food I deserve one thing that tastes good. I am craving chkn' veggie nuggets. I think those will be ok to eat on the mushy diet especially if I nuke them they get soggy. I am so glad I have tomorrow off. Not sure what to do with myself?

whoosh! I have had the worst drug withdrawls the last few days. I wish I weened my self off istead of cold turkey. Oh well it's been two days now so I should be better tonight? I hope so. I am still in some mild pain. But the bloating is going down and I can see/feel the weight I have lost. I have been eating a little more which kind of scares me but at the same time 1 packet of watery oatmeal fills me up. So I guess I am worried about nothing. I hope I lose more by tomorrow. I am weighing myself everyday. I know it seems crazy but I want to keep myself in check. I do not want to gain one freaking pound.

I had the worst time sleeping last night. I got up at 5 am to take a shower than tried to go back to bed. I think I am having some drug withdrawls from the pain meds. I hope it's almost over. I also gave up on band aids. I am pretty pissed off that they do not put warnings on them. I am allergic to some seeds and have had a reaction to sesame so when I found out that "latex free" band aids had sesame in the adhesive I was shocked. They really should mark the boxes. I have welts all over my body. I want to write someone about this about labeling. Still down 7 pounds. My first goal is 25 pounds by 9/25! So 18 more to go and I will feel way better and can wear cuter clothes.
