Bread is not one of the things you should probably eat after surgery....didn't your doctor have you on a jello/broth/liquid diet? You prob had restriction and as you get your fills you will def not be able to swallow bread/carbs.

I get those pains too usually when i eat too fast. I dont get it while eating i get them after i am done eating. I was told that the band expands and hits our wall so that it what usually causes the pain. It's like swollen of the band line ;0

I am now the same way! try to take your multivitamin everyday and eat lots of protein! Also, Vitamin K and E prevents some bruising. Try taking some of those vitmains too.

ok yeah im thinking its because im eating close to bedtime too! its scarey, im glad I wake myself up! jesus lol

If I eat an hour or so before I fall asleep I end up waking up choking! It's scary but my schedule is so wacked I need to eat if hungry cuz then I can't sleep...is this because I'm too right or just because I'm eating and laying on my back too soon?

Mines in my bellybutton - kind of on the bottom but u can feel throughout the whole button lol

Stress def makes my band tight too...also, getting excited makes it tight too! so weird but i notice that too! Does getting happy/excited for something make your band tight?

Ive been banded for over a year now and have never really been negative about the band. Im actually happy and excited I have it because well for the obv we can loose weight and not gain it back! I havnt gained any back and dont plan on it either. Ive lost 80 pounds and very happy! The only negative thing that happens to me is when i do it to myself and I clearly understand its my fault. Like not chewing enough and getting stuck! thats the only negative thing but other than that we have to make it positive because we chose to have the band

Hey! orland park here! had my surgery Jan 20 2010 and have lost 80 pounds so far! But now I've hit a plateau Any suggestions?

Well, we had a Xmas potluck today at work and after eating I almost passed out!!! Has this ever happened after eating junk?? I ate a very small portion of everything but it wasn't that bad.....a little here and there but after i was done i almost collapsed! Ive been banded a year now and can notice when I dont eat on track my body gets mad at me!!! Scarey!

When you make loud gurgling noises!!!! After eating or drinking

Unfortunately im still the same 184

I stayed the same

Fay here checking in at 184

Hi fay here at 188! Lost only 1lb:/

I had it done but its never one incision. I have 3 small ones! One in the belly button, one towards the left of the belly button before my side, and the 3rd one is below my bra in the middle. Can't even tell

Probably! I pass out during fills it's scary.

Name, real or screen~ fay Age~23 Weight on October 1st~189 Goal Weight for October 29th~179 Exercise Goal for October~4x week Dietary Goal for October. Personal Goal for October~ dress better Date Banded~ 12.20.10 Total Weight Loss Since Banding~ 65

remember liquid is not only shakes...i would still eat SF Jello, pudding, light Soups, yogurt. You gain weight back because your body has gone into shock so its starving and when food enters in it absorbs it and turns it into fat automatically. You should still eat around 800-1100 calories a day.

You know what? stress is probably my reason right now....school and work is driving me nuts!!! I think im going to do a liquid diet starting next week and see what happens.

MIne is in my bellybutton on the lower part can't even tell!

So Ive lost about 60lbs and was banded Dec 2010!! But these past few weeks ive been at a plateau! What do you recommend or have done to start loosing more weight again! I still want to lose another 30 pounds I work out and eat pretty healthy still! so I know its not me sitting on the couch eating chips

water makes my stomach growl lol maybe thats why you making noise a lot because you drinking water. The noises doesnt mean you are hungry its the tunnel effect of your band digesting the wster

Oh my, you cant eat lunch meat or steak? even if you eat it in tiny bites? so what do you eat for Protein? I couldn't imagine myself not eating chicken/steak or lunch meat. Now groundbeef is a no no for me!!! omg does it hurt!

Lol ok you got me! No kegstands either haha!
