Are you having your band adjusted?

anyone else have this?
NoName-AZ replied to thinkoflaura's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like trapped air.. try, Gas-X-strips. Take like 4 of them otherwise they wont work.. They dissolve on your tongue.. And Walk gets the intestines moving.. and hopefully the gas passing. -
Post op liquid diet Starving! Help!
NoName-AZ posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did anyone start the mushy phase earlier? I had my surgery on 9-23. I am supposed to wait 3wks to introduce mushy foods, which is still 1 more week out. I feel so hungry now. I would love to slowly start the mushy phase, but i am scared? Any input? -
just read your reply to the "I hate fat people thread." Very insightful, and well put!

Can you really explain how it is?

New pain at port site after 3 years!!!!!
NoName-AZ replied to dentamy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
AHHHHHHH! This makes much more sense now. It sounds like it became an obsession for you and possibly to an unhealthy level? I wish you all the luck with your continued weight loss. Utilize the band you have inside of you to help with that. -

You said that you had the band emptied because your family didnt want to see you healthy and strong? This statement is really confusing to me? And as far as experiencing pain at any level is not right. You should listen to your body, and seek help from you surgeon. -
Good to hear that you are feeling better now.
I am like you..losing slowly. Sounds like you are a positve person which is so important! It will happen for us eventually!
Have a happy thanksgiving...:-)

Any Advice before my surgery???
NoName-AZ replied to dmdsanchez's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I say this to everyone... Get Gas-X-Strips and have them handy. If you get trapped gas, take like 3 or 4 of them, and walk A LOT! That part of my recovery was painful. -
No Birth Controll 90 days before and after Surgery ... PANICK BUTTON
NoName-AZ replied to wickedredhead09's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to stop mine as well. It is very important you do what your doctor tells you. My surgeon said it is because it can cause you to "bleed out" during surgery... his words exactly. I was emotional, pissy, all of those things, but its the sacrifice we have to make. :biggrin: -
Hi. I just read your thread. It sounds to me like you need to have some of the saline taken out of your band. If you feel uncomfortable, and cannot enjoy food, than something is wrong.
I had a really bad weekend last weekend, it started Friday night, i ate a corn tortilla tostada shell, and it got SOOOOOOO stuck, it screwed me up for 3days, everything I ate got stuck. If felt the same way as you.. Like what have I done to myself? I went back to softer foods this week, and I am feeling much better.
Do you mind if I ask? How much have you lost total, to date?

Ha...I am reading Artie Langes book now...Do you listen to Stern? I am a big fan.

One week post op and I cheated! Please help.
NoName-AZ replied to chatty826's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every surgeon has different guide lines. Mine said cream soups/oatmeal (runy) things like that where okay. I wouldn't have been able to do Clear liquids for that long.. NO WAY! I am sure you will be okay. Try not to eat anything that will cause gas, since your stomach already has alot of trapped air in it after surgery. I wonder why no dairy? Mine never told me that? Can anyone answer that? -
One week post-op/ full feeling
NoName-AZ replied to steelergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you have sinus problems? Maybe there is some mucus plugging up the inlet? Just a thought? You should call your doctor. Liquids should go down easy. -

"Listen, ladies - I am you. You will be me. I"m not special at all. Don't let the new eating habit take over your life. Make something else more important. If you think about eating all day and night, you'll never lose it. Find something else to focus on." Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these kind words. I will print this and tape them to my wall, and read them every day! I needed to hear this today. -
Any book recommendations?

okay now I understand bandster hell now :-(
NoName-AZ replied to juliansmom2003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Since you are able to eat mushies..mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, can you try some soft meats like a turkey burger or meatloaf? That protein will really help with feeling satisfied! -
Went to get my first fill yesterday and my doctor said "NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!" i.e. Crystal Lite.. or anything with aspartame in it. It makes your brain crave more food. Has anyone heard of this before? Wish he would have told me this before.. considering the fact that I drink alot of Crystal Lite. :tongue2:
