candy rain

I know this question has been asked b4 but i just wondered if u could clear something up 4 me... You know wen your like 4 days post opp and you can only get down half a cup of tea and a few bites of food, is this restriction??? because i am having issues with food getting stuck but am not really feeling full and am getting hungry often and am gaining bk the weight lost! and its doin my head in Is this restriction? not really being able to eat very much at all? I figured if im eating enough to gain weight then surely im not restricted??? only had a fill 9 days ago...

You are not alone... I cant do, steak, mash potato, pork, gammon, toast {but bread is fine} rice {Pasta is fine- a lil heavy) or chips! i thought this would be a good thing but iv gained and lost the same 4lbs for 2 weeks now and its driving me mad!!! God i crave pepsi and chocolate!!! bk to my rice cakes i guess... :thumbup:

you are not the only 1 chick, woke up this morning and boom 4lb weight gain!!! :biggrin: i could of cried and then thrown my scales out of the window! i was soo upset as im 2 weeks post op i thought that id be losin losin losin but apparently not, not a happy bunny but it made me wanna go to the gym and burn it off immediatly! lol dont like it but i guess that this is real life with the lap band x

Congrats chick, credit where credit is due you look fab, i love seeing people doing good, brings hope for the rest of us

I tried to take a few gulps of ribena with my meal yesterday as well as trying to cram in one more mouthful of delicious dinner and i knew something was wrong i legged it into my kitchen where i threw up in my sink in front of my whole entire family! as i heaved and gagged i heard comments of that's disgusting coming from the table, never before have i been more embarrassed, and all for one more bite and a gulp of ribena... i shoulda listened to my doctor! Im stickin to the rules these days

Juat a quick post to ask when does this horrible gas pain go, i am 10 days post of and am still suffering with the neck/shoulder pain and its gettin the better of me, starting to get pissed off with it now, i feel like i cant get on with my life! do you just wake up one morning and its gone??? or can it take weeks?

congrats hun xxx :smile2:

Thanks guys, you lot really made me chuckle lol i guess i just felt as though i wernt supposed to miss food and felt guilty for doing it. Glad to hear that everyone licks the knife in their own little way, thanks for the support x :smile2:

I had the surgery 6 days ago and have lost 12lbs, im happy with that 12lb gone forever but i am a carbaholic and miss foooood sooo badddd lol, i was so hungry whilst making my kids sandwiches that i actually licked the butter off the knife! what is wrong with me? i should be standing tough at this stage but i just miss food, I sometimes think whether i could trick the band and get something past it but i know that my band is too clever for that and 7 hour indigestion just isn't worth it, i know i should really be loving this restriction but i feel as though i am mourning the loss of food, will it ever get easier?

Thought id add mine:- Ups 10lb loss banded 25/09/10 Self believe- i can really do this Partner support excited to get on the scales not hungry much a brighter future downs OMG!!! gas pains Arrrrggghhhhhhhhhhh Neck pain shoulder pain rumbling tummy Intergestion feeling need looking after/ unable to do simple stuff desperate to drink a pint of anything! miss food like a crack head misses crack! the fear of liking food again/ im a foodaholic But everydays a school day and i learn something everyday, just taking it 1 day at a time :drool:

Hiya, I was banded 2 days ago on Saturday and im feeling rough today I was ok in hospital and stayed over night, i was even fine when i got home but last night the gas pain got intense. I am suffering with it today as the cuts are itchy and uncomfortable and i feel like a hot air balloon full of gas ready to explode lol but i am still happy because i chose this, i wanted this and i have done it. I too was feeling hungry so thought about deviating from my diet but was to scared too, ive been eating yoghurt for Breakfast and yoghurt for lunch but today have no appetite which is good i guess. Glad you are feeling so positive and having a good time of it so far x heres to us september bandsters xxx :smile:

Saturday September 25th! cant freakin wait!:blushing::w00t:

Just flicking through some of the posts and it got me thinking, i tend to eat becaise im bored not because im hungry just because its there! sometimes its just for the taste not because i actually want it and if i feel crappy or whatever il bing until i feel full and crappier? That said id give up all the food in the world for coke!!! im a secret coke whore and i like litterelly get the shakes if i dont get it cokea cola and pepsi are my dirty lil secrets and i dont know how il cope without them i guess coke to me is like alchohol to an alchoholic! its like crack totally addictive. Guess im feeling a lil apprehensive as my whole world will flip up side down... overwhelmeddd :thumbup:

I am self pay and boy isnt it a headache! i decided that i didnt want to finance i didnt want to take out loans that i would pay all myne off as i earn it week by week before the surgery rather than pay it off after. my surgery is 29th june and i cant wait for it all to be over. i am very excited but with the financial burden of it all its become stressful i wish all i had to stress about was the liquid diet but its money and surgery dates and all the other stuff that goes along with it. i have had to budget to do this and i am so sick of calculating money here and then its getting a little obsessive. But it will be all worth it in the end and im sure il never look back i just cant wait to get there :~) :thumbup:

We are here guys the june bandsters hope you are all well and excited for this awsome month my thoughts are with you all, good luck guys and stay strong with the pre op diet if you have one here goes fellow bandsters see you all on the other side xxxx mwah xxxx candy :rolleyes:
