i had a fill 2 days ago and after it i was fine. drinking Water and cup of coffee, i ate a hearty Soup. yesterday morning i was able to have a Protein shake and some other kinds of foods. but come 2pm i could not keep anything down. not even a 1/2 tablespoon of mashed potato's last night. i brought it up and was in pain for hours. this was a different kind of pain then the kind you have when you can not pass something. this morning, as a test, i took a sip of water. i can not stop burping which is what happens when i can not pass something. this does not feel right. Diana

thank you so much for replying. i am so scarred right now. i wish there was a chat room here where you can talk to people in real time. i am not even keeping Water down now. i am going to just show up at the dr's this morning and hope they can help me right away. Diana

hi all. i want to join this challenge. how do i do that?

I love your quote in green.

hello everyone. i have posted a few posts but i have not introduced myself. my name is Diana and i am married 9 1/2 years with to beautifully children. Julie 7 and Steven 6. i have always been overweight but in 1995 things changed for me and i gained 140 pounds in one year. this is where i have been for the past 13 years. I have been thinking about the lap band for years and in June something made me pick up the phone and find a Dr. i was banded on sept 4th of this year and it was the best decision i have ever made. i had my first fill in Oct. they put in 3cc but had to take out 1cc because it was to much. i am looking forward to my next fill om Nov 16th. The other people in the office making there appointment asked me if i was sure if i wanted to get a fill so close to Thanksgiving and I said yes. they said that i am very brave to do that and i told them that i am just serious about making this work. look at me this is what 34 Thanksgivings have given me. and i don't want it anymore. I look forward to talking to all of you and getting your tips of keeping going.

Hi all. I have been so good about candy in my house. I have had NONE. Not even a lick. But I feel like my will power is going away. I feel like I am making up for it in other places. I feel hungry all the time. But not growling hunger in the belly pains but brain hunger pains. I just want to eat all the time. I was wondering if it might be time for me to go and get another fill. I am not going till Nov. 16th but I was thinking that maybe I should go sooner. I feel like I am eating so much and all the time.

You have done so well if such a short time. I am doing well but I know that I could be doing better. I have not had bread or junk in months but i am having a hard time with other carbs. Pasta and potato's is my downfall. If I could just cut out a little bit of this I could be doing better. I want to be down 60 by dec 31st. I have 24 to go. I was banded on sept 4th and I am so proud of what I have down already. Another thing I need to do is log my food. I have no idea how many calories I am having in a day. I have been walking a good walk 3 to 4 times a week for 2 months now for 45 min. I am not sure if that is even helping though.

Could you share some of your secrets. what do you eat in a day and do you exercise? I have a goal and would love to be able to meet it.

I would love to know what you eat and do in a day of your life. I want to loose 60 by Dec 31st.

I just wanted to say wtg and good luck. bet thing i have ever done besides marring my husband and having 2 beautiful kids.

my understanding is that there are 2 bands you can get that are lap band. you can get the 10cc or there is another on that is bigger. i am not sure of the cc's though. i thought that a 10cc band would hold 10cc. you might want to just give a call to your Dr and ask again.

I was wondering if anyone else is having pain in there port area. this is going on about a day and a half.

Congrats on you success. sounds like you are doing great. I was also banded on the 4th. I feel like i do not have any restrictions. But I am keeping a very good eye on my intake.... Congrats again.

I had my first fill on Thursday. I was so excited for it because i was eating up to 2 cups 3 times a day. I could not wait for my first fill and to eat less and start loosing again. My fill was ok. It did not hurt. They put in 3cc's and I was having chest pains and they took out 1cc. so i have 2 cc's in a 10cc band. That night I was just feeling ok. I could not eat more than 4 tablespoons of soup. the next day I was very sluggish and not feeling to good. But now here I am 4 days out of my first fill and I am nervous. I am back to eating a 3/4 or a whole cup at a time. I am wondering if I did not get enough fill and why I am not feeling restrictions. If I stick with the 1/2 cup I get very hungry to soon. Is this normal?

what is this whole you are talking about?

i have tried to get myself on this list for a month and a half. what am i doing wrong? if someone could add me that would be great or tell me how to do it. thank you so much Nailpro00 (Diana) 9/4/09

Ty for your reply and so fast too. I did have to drink and that is when they decided to take out a little fill. I had to do liquids for that night and then mushy yesterday and today i was bad to regular foods. I had 4 meals today. 1/4 cup chicken Soup with patina 3/4 cup mashed potato's with chicken in it. 2/3 cup refried Beans 1 cup steamed chicken and broc. i am not sure about my Protein and cal. Are you using and on line program to help you count that? I get full with my meals. I am just not staying full for more then 2 to 3 hours.

Hi all. I have been reading all your posts on getting your first fills. You all are so helpfull. I had mine on Thursday and it did not hurt. they put in 3cc and had to take out 1cc because i was having chest pains. I felt a little crappy that night and the next day. I think i was just stressed out over getting my first adjustment. The problem that i am having is i was feeling restrictions that first night after my fill and the next day but today I am not feeling it to much. I mean I am feeling it but it is not lasting. I am eating between 4 and 6oz and after 2 or 3 hours I am hungry again. Very Hungry. Is anyone else having this issue? Can anyone give any suggestions? I am making very good food choices and walking at least 2 miles 5 times a weeks.

good morning all. I am 6 weeks out today and had my first fill yesterday. they put in 3cc but had to take 1 out because it was to much. for dinner last night i had 3 tablespoons of clear chicken soup and was very satisfied. i was hungry 3 hrs later but did not want to eat at 9:30 at night so i went to bed.

sounds like you are doing great. i lost 5 before my surgery and 13 in the first week after. in the 2nd week i lost 8 and then i started to get into real food and gained 3. i am in week 5 and and lost nothing for 3 weeks. this week i managed to loose the 3 i gained and a pound. so it sounds like you are doing great. i get my first adjustment on thurs and i am really looking forward to it.

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has a refried beans recipe. The canned has so much sodium in them and I want to make the fat free with less sodium. I have searched on line but I am not coming up with much. In fact the ripes that I have found is loaded with sodium.
