Acid reflux and major GI issues and stomach pain
lionsll replied to nyree34's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello, Recently, I have been burping alot after I eat and sometimes before I eat. I admit, I have been eating mostly what I want but not as much as I could. I am thinking about going liquid for at least two meals. The gas is painful and the burping is irritating. I always feel bloated for the most part. I moved away from my doctor that installed my band and going to a local doctor for fills but I think I need to see if I have slippage. Please advise. -

Just started the challenge today, and I am pumped. I did go to the gym today and had a great workout on the eliptical and put effort on arms and abs today. One step at a time. Thanks for this challenge, I so needed to get back on track! Lionsll -

I had my first fill on Monday and it was surprisingly not bad. Although I do not think I have restriction. I get full, but able to still eat things I want, just not as much. I had 2ccs in after surgery and Doc added 2 more ccs. Will add exercise and see how this goes. Good Luck to all!

Mother's Day Challenge Anyone?
lionsll replied to MommyOf1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love the motivation of this challenge. I am in for 15 lbs. this will be the first time that I weighed under 200 lbs in 20+ years. I started exercising this week, so I am going to pump it up. I don't have a fill yet, was banded March 11th. Let's get this party started, I weighed today and at 209. -
Feel like I blew it today

You are okay, just stay focused. I have cheated but my portions are so small. I am on solids at this time, so I have to be carefull and I do not have a fill. -
I was banded March 11th. Doing well just added exercise to the process. No fill as of yet. All is well

cheating on Post Op liquid diet.... help
lionsll replied to cariel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This was a really good post and I appreciate it. I needed to read this tonight. I am 7 days post-op and today I wanted to cheat. I was tired of shakes 2x per day and then broth and popsicle for dinner. So I went and purchased Won-to soup with no intentions of eating the noodle or meat. I did eat one won-ton and broth. I am so glad I read this. I won't do that again, I am sticking to the plan. I spoke with my Doctor's office and tomorrow I can have oatmeal and or grits. So I may or may not introduce mushies because I believe this is a head thing and not truly my stomach. -
I am siz days post op and I was not hungry for those six days. My stomac is making sounds but I attribute that to the gas. There was a post about soft indicators and one thing I notice is that when I am "full" my noise runs. Go figure!!:scared2: Lorraine

Three Days Out and I'm STILL sore!
lionsll replied to mrslamica's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello Bandits, I am six days post op and went back to work today and I was exhausted. I should stayed home but needed to go for an important meeting. I am still a little sore, but definitely feel better than I did on day one. It will get better, hang in there. Lorraine -
3 Days after surgery and throwing up everything!
lionsll replied to Kris110385's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on March 11, 2010. I had one incident with nausea and after I got my prescription filled, I felt better. The walking helps alot. I am still dealing with the gas but I am walking more. I am no longer taking the pain meds. I also noticed that the chocolate Protein shake did not work for me. I hope you went to see your doctor. You don't want the band to slip with the throwing up. Hope all is well, Lorraine Lane -
Very Happy with Doc follow-up
lionsll replied to jre1974's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats to you. I had my band on March 11th. I have to make my follow up appointment. I have been moving along well, just trying to get rid of the gas *^%^%$$. I look forward to my visit to record any weight loss. Lorraine
