I'm getting a little nervous becuase mine appears to be getting bigger. The sting is really small so i left it alone and now it appears to be gone.

Thanks so much soco. That is the reason I love this page. I get so nervous sometime s and its such a relief to hear when I'm not alone. Ladies I gained 8 pounds:thumbdown: IN A WEEK! I became determined and told myself the same way that you put it on in a week you are taking it off in a week AND I DID:thumbup: Sometimes you gotta be stern even to yourself. Now I want to lose 3 pounds by my first fill. I got an idea from someone-it may have been this site but it sounds soooo brilliant. I am going to me some clothes on lay-a-way too. That way i won't walk around looking like a bum. Those were my intentions until I heard this idea. THANKS EVERYONE!!!:thumbdown:

did yours have any clear liquid come out with it? It's not puss. It doesn't smell either.

ooohhh hoooo a solution. I thought I was going crazy. I HAVE seen a little string but I didn't know what it was so I didn't bother it. so I'm fine-you think. Thanks soooo much.

I'm 4 wks post op and I have noticed a small pin hole in my cut near my breast. I know my bras are irritating it but I wear a silk t shirt to try and keep it cover. All the other cuts are completely healed. That one looked okay until about a week ago and now I just don't like the hole in it. anyone else?

Question: You know the cut that is right above the breast well mine has a slight pin hole in it and it seems to leak something clear. No smell or anything like puss. Has anyone been through this?

congratulations katlynn. Weight loss is sooo wonderful and exciting. I have a pair of maternity pants and guess what.. I've never been pregnant. My stomach is going down as well as the rest of me and before you know those pants will be in the trash/recycled.

I am so happy that I am not the only one feeling the pressure of the refrigerator. It keeps calling me now. I know that I have gained weight and its way more than a few pounds. I have to get refocused. Can I just get rid of the fridge all together. I was banded on 9/17 and will have my fill on 10/22. i can't wait. I'm ready to shed these pounds.

good i'm not the only one on solids. I was banded on the 17th and can EAT!. I am forcing myself to be limited. In the morning I am fine. It seems to squeeze in the morining and I don't need to eat by lunch I am ready to eat and finally for dinner I feel like i have been let out of a cage and I 'm ready to attack the food. The good thing is I can't eat nearly as much as I used to. Even without a fill. I feel bad if I try to over eat. I hope this helps. I get filled on the 22nd. when do you?

congratulations!!! I'm glad that we are fighting this pcos thing that has deprived us for so many years of what we want. Keep fighting. pcos'ers does it take us longer to lose the weight with the band. I am only 2 wks post op and I was just wondering?

That would make since cause when I do have to "go" it hurts right there. Also if I have gas it hurts right there. The question is when does it stop cause i don't want this to be a part of the routine. So when did yours stop?

they have noticed they just don't know how to approach you. People are weird.

So what type of foods? I'm kinda experimenting. Tired of chicken.

a chicken burger. I've never heard of it. Sounds good. Well I am on solid foods. Its kinda hard cause I feel like I eat alot. I know that I don't but i have gained a few pounds back since I am able to eat. I am walking about 45 mins a day but i still gained...

ladies I know this page is old but I too was panicking because I am 2 wks post op and am having having cramps in the lower left side but its not near the port. Iknow this because when I feel the pain I touch the port instinctually. Its good to know I'm not alone. Thank you all.

Well my doc put me on low carb low fat until my first fill on the 22nd. He say this but I'm thinking of still being very liberal with my eating. That sounds good. Do you think I could add fruit?? Honestly, my protein shakes are nasty and I'm trying to find a way to make them better.

Get outta here! You can cross your legs! I'm not even close. I would love to cross my legs. I'm just 2 wks post op so I can't do too much just yet. Congratulations on that. I can't wait to be 195.

I am just wondering what you all are eating on this type of diet. I need more than just veggies and lean meat. Do you have any recipes? Let me know. I'm kinda lost. Thanks.

Hi, I made it! So I went to the doctor today. I didn't get filled today. He says he's going to wait 2 more weeks for that. He wants me to walk just get moving for now. I am on a low carb low fat diet. He says that the mushy stage is for those that had gastric bypass not really for banders. He says that since everything is intack out bodies can tolerate food et all. so I ate regularly for dinner. Some chicken, and I'm fine.

Hi, femme I'm glad youre doing okay. Are you back at work yet? I am and I am soooo tired. i am a teacher assistant so I do alot of walking and I swear I wish kids still took naps so I could join them. Now I'm having a different kind of pain now that i am working. I have been thinking that maybe I haven't been using my turso muscles so much and they have weakened and now that I am using them they are sore. Is that a possibility. All I know is i'm hurting in the front of my tummy. No where near the port sometimes I'm have a shot of pain on my left side. Anyone else? It was explained on this page but I dont know which page or how to explain it to you. Sorry.

I'm anticipating my doc appt thrusday. What did they do to you today? How did they know about your stenosis? Were there more test done. Can you get sick of the doctor with this process cause I kinda am.

I too wear a light silky shirt as an undershirt so that I can tuck it under my bra. But they should be healed by the time you go back to work. Let the girls free this week

I am so so sorry to hear that. I was really hoping that it wouldn't be anything and that things could continue smoothly for you. I hope its doesn't get any worse and that you can stay banded. Take care of yourself.

I was banded on the 17th. On Oct 1 I go and get checked out. He has already told me that he plans to fill me on that day have about 2 days of more liquids and then I can eat low carb low fat diet. Is this the case for anyone else?

Hi, I thought it sounded weird. I will do the liquids but then it to food. I can pass the mushy stage. It does sound strange. I like it on this page. Plus I keep getting lost trying to find the september board except if I click on your the link that you created but I have to look for it each time.
