Hi. I'm a little over 3 months post-op. I've had 2 fills and am due for my third fill on this friday. I have no real restriction and Up until last week I've never had a stuck episode. Now it seems like everything I am eating gets stuck. Is this normal? to feel like you're getting restriction at the end of a fill? thanks!

I had my surgery in Feb and I was only able to sit/sleep in a recliner the first few days. Laying on a bed was not an option for me

It is definaetly nice to know that others feel the same way. I just had my second fill this past tuesday and right now am not feeling any real restriction. I read that people sometimes have luck on the second fill - not me. LOL Its good to know that there is a silver lining coming..

Awesome Job!!! Keep up the great work!!

Thanks everyone! I also cant wait to not have to shop in Lane Bryant and the Avenue.. thats one of my goals..

So yesterday I went shopping for some clothes for a vacation i'm going to be taken... Before I got banded I was a size 22/24 in pants yesterday I bought size 18!!! I was so excited I started to scream in the dressing room.. Everyone must've thought I was nuts... Oh well but i'm sooooo excited!!

my favorite by far is the muscle milk lite drinks

Thank you!

i'm not sure what I'm allowed to take for allergy medication. I'm 2 months banded and my allergies have really started to be bad this week. Can anybody give me any suggestions please?!?! Thanks

Contratulations!!!! Thats Awesome!!!

Hi.. i'm 6 weeks out of surgery and my scars are itching me like crazy.. Does anybody have any ideas of what I can put on them to help stop the itch? They're driving me crazy.. LOL thanks!

I just got my first fill on this past Tuesday. They numbed me first so it wasnt that bad, just some pressure. I had 3cc's put in. Good luck!

Thank you everybody for your ideas! Lots for me to try!

Hi.. Ok I need some ideas for breakfast. I'm so sick of eggs and oatmeal/cream of wheat. Any suggestions would be helpful. thanks!

Thats Great!!!

I also weigh myself once a day - first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom.

Congratulations!!

My name is Stacey I'm 35 from NJ. I have no children and have been widowed for almost 2 years. Looking for friendship Been banded for 2 weeks

Thanks for the recipes..They all sound delicious! I've been putting off getting a crock pot. Now I think by tomorrow i'll own one! LOL

Hi. I'm taking lexapro and Wellbuterin XL. The Lexapro is no problem because the pills are small but the Wellbuterin is a little larger. I have to ask my DR. if she can change me to a smaller dose and take two smaller pills instead of one larger one.

I am getting full petty fast. I had a piece of a chicken breast for dinner tonight. first regular food and was pretty full. I havent tried breads yet, I dont think I want to. LOL If i can live without them the better off i'll be. If I know I can eat them then I will

I'm two weeks banded and I definaetly have not been able to get in all of my liquids. I dont think I've gone past 32oz. yet. Sipping is very hard because I'm so used to taking big gulps. Glad to know that I'm not alone in this.

I was banded on Feb 4th. I just started regular foods today after a week of mushies. So far so good with chicken, but then again there is no restriction.

I'm in! This is my first challenge as I was just banded on 2/4. Hoping to reach my goal

I took off a week. I'm on my feet all day at work being in retail. I wish I had taken more time off due to being very tired and low energy.
