Yes, I feel it too. I just figure there is something foreign attached inside me so of course I am going to feel it at times. I really feel it when I bend over or I am washing dishes & my tummy hits the sink. Like right now when the edge of my laptop is on my belly as I am typing. I think it's ok.

3 month anniversary of Band
blessedmommy commented on Quilttina's blog entry in June 11th surgery date
I had my 1st fill 9/4/09 and have not lost a lb since. I am trying not to get discouraged. I walk eveyday for a hour. I am still drinking protien shakes every morning, sometimes 2x a day. My next appt is not till 10/15/09. -
everything is good for me, haven't really lost much weight, which is discouraging but they say give it time to heal... how much have u lost?

Anyone have experience with Dr. Carson Liu in Los Angeles?
blessedmommy replied to BrentinLA's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, He did my band last month. All went well and his staff was and is wonderful. Best wishes for a fast recovery. Hope this helped. -
Hi there, I was banded 8/6/09. Since our dates are so close I thought I would join you if that is ok. I have only told less than a handful of people also. I am walking every morning for 1 hr and almost every evening. I am determined to lose lbs.

I had my 1st fill yesterday. I was really scared. I had to wait 4 hrs. I was hungry, kids 1 & 2 were cranky & hungry. I could only take 2.6 cc. any more & I thought I was gonna die. I could not watch. I am afraid of needles. So I closed my eyes or I stared at the celing. It was really not painful for my local or the injection. It will be a month for me on the 6th and I have lost 22lbs. I will go back on 10/15. I just pray that I can stay focused. I do love the shakes because I make my own in any fruit or coffee flavor I want that day.

I had the same problem. Took my liquid Tylenol and after a week slept fine. I can even sleep on my stomach again. Use soft pillows under your tummy if you need to. It really helped. Good Luck.

Which shakes are the best?
blessedmommy replied to Mickey527's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been using Isopure creamy vanilla powder whey protien. I always blend it with ice and change the flavor by adding coffee, banana, any berries, yogurt or chocolate & skim milk. I haven't got tired of them yet and my husband & kids keep trying to drink them. I have to fight then off. This is way cheaper than the ready to drink cans & this big tub has lasted a month so far. Hope this helps. I am a nubie too. Stay focused. -
Hi, I don't really know how this site works but . . . I have been banded for 3 years and am having trouble with my diet. All i want is milk shakes, ice cream and soft sweet foods. I have no desire for anything else. My doctor says I do not need any more fills, and I do feel restriction. What can I do to get back on track? I have lost about 100-120lbs with 40 more to go, but this has been going on for a while. After I gain some weight, I will change my eating habits and loose back to where I was, but then here we go again with the sweets. Does anyone have a sweet problem?

Stomach gurgling in the middle of the night!
blessedmommy replied to elcee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine gurgles all the time. I was watching TV with my husband and he asked me if I needed to eat? Sunday I was at a matinee and you could here my stomach 3 seats away. I didn't know if I should laugh or be emabrassed. They passed me some trail mix. Next time I'll see a action movie to drown out my stomach. -
Hi I am glad you joined us on our Lap band Journey. It is so nice to know that others care. It is important to me to be happy as I make my way on this Lap band trip of ours. I am also exercising it helps to keep me positive and gives me more energy. Mind you I am not killing myself either. I have been full since I was banded. That is a good thing. Keep in touch and best wishes. You will do well. imaluckydog
