@pink I ask myself the same question. I am 2 months post op and have lost 30 pounds. I would not believe it if the scale did not say it. I can not "tell" yet. Everyone one is different. You may start to notice the small things first. Looser fitting clothes, looking smaller in the mirror etc. Before you know it you would have lost some serious weight. Good luck!

this happened 2 one of my friends as well and she had to get the band out. It was bad. She was overeating alot and it was basically a slip that went untreated for and eroded her band and stomach.

I am all the way B. I have yet to eat bread, drink soda, or any kind of chips, candy, chocolate, nothing sweet. I have not missed this things yet. I am losing about 7 pounds a week. I also am a gym rat. I am to afraid to eat bad foods just yet lol

I have not been diagnosed with PCOS but I want a baby soon. I am 5 weeks post op. I have NEVER had a period without being on birth control which defeats the whole purpose of trying to get pregnant lol. I hope after losing some weight I will get a period Good luck!

thanx u guys i will look that up!! n wow more2love i am half way to 60 pounds and hope i get there good luck to you all

Hey! My surgery was May 18 and I'm down 60 lbs. I wouldn't mind losing another 40 lbs before Christimas. Everyone says that I look much thinner, but I can't see it at all. I used to be able to see it, and then my mind suddenly changed... or at least my eyes changed. All I see are the flaws. But maybe I'll be happier after 40 more lbs.

GOOD LUCK!! U will be fine. After surgery I was fine a little sore and tired. Also i found keeping a pillow on my tummy and ice felt so good. i also could not sleep in my bed 4 3 weeks couch just felt so much better. The third day and so on felt pretty bad but by the end of the week you should feel lots better. The first day I thought there is NO WAY ppl go back 2 work only after a week, but I did and felt good.

tomorrow is the big day..wish me luck

I have lost 30 pounds since surgery date 7-5 but honestly I can not tell in my body yet. I am down 2 sizes but to me I still look the same. I work out at least hour n half 5 times a week. i am averaging about 7 pounds lost every week man. I am happy but wish I could see it, instead of everyone just telling me.

Good luck 2 both of u guys! U will be fine, the first fews days r a lil diffucult but u can do it! I would never think a week after surgery I felt 100% better!!!

Good luck to both of you.

oh wow my 2nd day I didnt want anything but sleep. I didnt eat at all the first week. Hopefully this gets better. good luck!

I'm feeling the same way 1 days post op. I ate a whole thing of yogurt this morning because for the first time i could, and it felt so good just feeling like I was eating normal. But then felt guilty like maybe I'm sabotaging myself?! This is becoming quite an emotionally journey the last 2 days

Thank you!

I am almost 2weeks post op. I feel guilty eating some of my mushies. Mind you I am only eatin 4 or 5 bites and I am full but I feel bad for even eating that much. I do not want this problem to follow me into my regualr food stage because I am afraid I wont even eat 1/2 cup from feeling so guilty. Please help. Anyone ever felt this?

SOAP! SOAP! SOAP!

Put a bar of soap between ur matttress and the fitted sheet and ur leg cramps will go away asap. I know it sounds funny but EVERY SINGLE PERSON I HAEV TOLD 2 DO THIS SWEARS BY IT!!! (OLD WIVES TALE) but it works I promise! (move ur leg on top of where the soap is)

SORRY GUYS I MUST HAVE BEEN DELURIOUS WENT I WORTE THAT I MEANT BAND SLIPPAGE NOT POUCH LOL THANX 4 REPLIES @vlp yes i know ice cream bad lol

I think your fine. If you have a slip, you suddently can't keep anything down, not even fluids. Oh, and I just have to say this, even fatfree icecream as lots of empty calories and lots of sugar. It's ok while your on mushies, but I would stay away from it once your on solid food. Congrats on your surgery!

Did my pouch slip? I am a week post op and I ate some fat free ice cream (I am in muchies stage) I felt really full pretty fast. Is there a possibilty my pouch could have slipped?

i will try the anti heartburn medicine taking deep breaths seems to make it pass faster

awwww it will not last 4ever I promise It is hard though. Um try chewing gum, sugarfree candy, drinking alot of Water. Maybe these will help???

AWWWW HOPE IT GETS BETTER!!! I am having a similar feeling but no sure it is actually hunger. I ahve had alot of gas 2 I am trying to walk it out

No but i plan on callin him 2morrow. I was not very concerned at first cause it was only lasting a short period of time but now it has happend twice. Nope no redness or swelling.

I had hiatal hernia repair on top of being banded this past tuesday. Well the last 2 days one of my incisions burns 4 about 15 mins (It brings tears 2 my eyes) and I have been having a wonderful recovery and a pain level about 3 this whole time. Any suggestions? Any on else had this pain?

mine has been doing that the last 4 days lol

maybe its gas moving around???

Yeah mine does it also. It can be very embarrassing. I usually just laugh and say I am sorry my stomach is gurgling. I just say that so they don't think the weird sound is anything else body related. Also mine makes weird suction sounds as my food slides down into my pouch and the air moves. I know this is what it is because I can feel it. Oh well take me as I am funny sounds and all:)
