Another fill question
beachcitygirl replied to beachcitygirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, I am headed to the site now. I should have mentioned I have been gaining, and losing the same 5 pounds for 2 months. -
I am 71/2 months out. I have a 14 band and I am filled to 10. I have restriction. After last fill, I have to really chew food well, and really follow the rules. I can eat more than 4 oz of food, more like a cup or a liitle more. I have 2 different Doctors who do my fills. One says get fill because I can eat more, the other says no. He doesn't care how much I eat as long as I stay full for 3 hrs. i have lost 35 pounds since surgery and 52 total. Do I get anther fill? It would be .5. Do you guys really only eat 4 oz at a time? BTW I am still dealing with the head hunger, is that normal this far out from surgery.

I strarted at 250 and this morning I weighed 212. i love my band but hate the loose skin! I am losing weight wierd. The botttom of my stomach (below the belly button) is smaller than the top, causing serious muffin top when I sit down:mad2: I have not been able to exercise much due to a painful B.R. 2 months ago. I am still not healed from that. :thumbup: The band has been the best decision I have made in years!!!! Congrats to all of us and wishing much more success:thumbup: -
What do I do when in bandster hell?
beachcitygirl replied to pollywogg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded 4/29/10 and "Bandster Hell" seems very hard while you are going through it! I drank a lot of crystal light, ate sugar free jello and SF Pudding. I put frozen fruit in my protien drinks. Hang in there, I promise it does get better:thumbup: -
Hi Suzanne, I was reading an old post, and wonderring if you ever got the tatt. I am getting one on my foot once I reach goal.

I was banded on April 29, and had a great experience. Very Happy. 2 days ago I got a breast reduction/ lift. Paid for by insurrance. I was supposed to be a c cup, but I am a B cup. Too small It is very painful. He did some lipo on the side and that is really bruised and hurts like heck. I have a flat chest and a very big stomach. I guess the swelling is making me look very diformed (sp?) Is any of this normal? Does it get better? I was so happy up until 2 days ago. I was 25 pounds down but now I am up 6 pounds and I am only on liquids. I can not figure out why I am gaining wieght. Thank you so much for any help or advice. Teri:confused:

beachcitygirl replied to beachcitygirl's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Well I am 9 wks. post op now, and I am in still in pain. My nipples are very sore and the inscision is still very painful. I cant do water execise because the bouncing hurts to much. My Dr. sounds like a used car salesman, so I cant trust anything he says. Am I supposed to still be in pain this far out. I just wish I knew if this is normal I could stop worrying. I should probably mention my surgeon is on probation for gross neglegence (sp?) This adds to my anxiety, and why I can't trust what he says -
Hi Phyllser, my name is Teri. I just found your post about the carroet, an egg, and thecup of cofee. Ir really spoke to me!! I am a carrot, but I well start praying to be a cup of cofee. I did print this so I can re-read it often. Thanks for posting it. I would like to make copies to share with my bible study, would that be ok?

Hello, My name is Teri and I am so excited to find this group! I was banded 62 days ago. I have lost 32 pounds but I am starting to have problems. I can feel myself falling into old habits. Grazing, eating b/c I am bored or most of all to cover up hurt feelings. I am trying to give this to God but I am struggling. I am also back to focussing on food instead of God. If anyone would please pray for me I would appreciate it so much. No one at my Church understands why I got the Lap Band in the first place, so they have a hard time supporting me. Thank you so much, and may God Bless all of us on this journey!

who supports right to choose
beachcitygirl replied to 396power's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
When I first saw this post I thought it was rediculous. I was not going to read it, but somehow I couldn't stop. I thought I would never post anything so personal but when I read a post that said "I find it so difficult to believe that any woman could even fathom carrying the product of a brutal rape" I got so angry! It went on to say more hurtful things about my baby. Yes I was raped and got pregnant. How dare you judge my innocent baby. It is not his fault, nor will he pay for something someone else did. This person went on to say that the child would have to be told. What are you nuts. My son is 28 years old, I would never dream of telling him that story. I have never judged any woman for having an abortion, but after reading this post, I feel judged because I did not. I forgot poster name but it was on the first page. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but please try to express it without being so hurtful to others. -
Should I buy a juicer or blender???
beachcitygirl replied to Nicole74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have them all. Only thing I use in my mini food processor and I bought a cheap 12 or 14 oz blender type thing for my shakes. It comes with 2 lids. One to blend then you replace that with a lid you can dring from. Great when I am running late, I can have breakfast in the car. It works great, even chops Ice. I got it at Kmart. -
Hi, just want to thank you for doing the Christmas challenge. I am excited. I was banded 4/29/10.
