Wow!!! So Im four months post op. I have 5 and 3/4 cc in a 10cc band. My last fill was in July but for the last three days I have had the worst left shoulder pain. I went to the doctor and they did a barium test and everything looks great. ' Has anyone gone through this before?

I need some stage 2 food ideas. HELP!!!!!!
sicilianpride85 replied to pdpmac's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was in that stage not to long agao. I would just mix really any thing I could and made it in a soup form. I would blend avocados with lowfat cream cheese , cottage cheese, and chicken broth. Sounds Yuk but it was really good. <---- Like to experiment alot! I would also take tuna, chicken broth, and some mayo and blend the heck out of it! Sorry for not being much help. Good Luck!:smile2: -
Fill in Hickory , NC
sicilianpride85 replied to sicilianpride85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This will be my first flight with the band let alone in 10 years.:smile2: The reason for the unfill is that I have heard that the cabin pressure can make you extremly tight for a few days and I do not want to be unconfortable during my vacation. Not only that but I will be 1800 miles away from my doctor.:smile: -
So I will be traveling to Hickory North Carolina with my husband in December to see his parents. I plan on getting unfilled due to the plane ride. ( his family does noit know I have the band) We will be there for a week should I think about getting a fill while I'm there or just wait til I come back home and go to my normal doctors? Another question? Should I tell his family? This will be during Christmas and I know it will be akward when I sit to Christmas dinner and only eat 1/2c of food. I dont want to offend any one ( they may think I do not like the food) ..... Thanks!

Having a hard time...
sicilianpride85 replied to maja0507's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on April 1 2010. I thought the same thing even after my second fill. I could eat a horse if i wanted to! :smile: I just went in for my third fill on Monday and let me say I know believe I have a band and that they didnt forget to put one in at the time of surgery:blushing: I have lost a total of 34 lbs with 120 to go!:scared2: Give yourself some time and it will work. This is a tool and a LEARNING process. I'm still learning what I can and cannot eat. food I ate last month I can not eat this month. Best of Luck to you. You can always message me if you like! Newbies stick together! -

drinking while eating
sicilianpride85 replied to trixj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded April 1st 2010. At first the doctror said no drinking with meals ! This was horribly hard for me. But ....... (every doctor is different) I went for my second fill and the doctor told me that there was a new studying that had taken place. She told me that I could drink with my meals IF i followed this rule. Wait 1 to 2 min before a drink and 15 second after the drink before i can take another bite. This has helped me alot. I am still losing weight and it makes me feel better.
