Can You Guys Help Me Out, I'm running Out Of Ideas On What To Eat/Buy... So What's On Your Grocery List?

What does it feel like?

How Can I Tell If It Has Stretched?

How do you know/feel when you are stuck or even worse how do you know/feel when your band has slipped? has it happened to any of you? im always worried about it happening to me

I Was Told That I Have The AP Large That Can Hold Up To 14cc. Which One Do You Have & Is It The Lap-Band or Realize Band? (im pretty sure the PA said "AP")

MellieW, HI! YUP! that's what they not only told me but it's written on my dietary plan as well. It's frustrating becuase i takes me such a long time to finish a freakin cracker! u know? :smile2: and i feel like i can eat more. so how long do you wait before each bite? and how big are your bites?

@vlp: wow! that is pretty fast, do you wait 10 minutes before ea bite? last night i had 2 saltines with tuna and it took me approx 2 hours to finish... please help me, what am i doing wrong? :smile2: i am not restricted at all (20 post op).

hi, thank you for commenting, may i ask approx how large are the bites you take? and what foods for example do you eat. HUGS!~

It has been 19 days since i was banded, but i still have port pain every now and then, it also still looks swollen. Is that normal? :smile2:

How Long Does It Usually Take You To Finish One Meal?

hello, i am on my third week post op and have lost 30lbs. I am also in my solid stage, i have noticed that i get bored while waiting for the 10 minutes to go by so i just end up eating very lil. Have any of you felt that way?. :smile2: thanks!

Hi Bander, I was banded on the 13th and ever since i have had to go to the ER twice. First it was my right leg then my left, they did and ultrasound and found nothing, the second time they did the same thing and also found nothing! Please see a doctor as soon as possible. I don't mean to scare you but better safe than sorry. keep us posted hun :smile2: HUGS!

hello :smile: thank you so much for replying, yes they did. It's just that i can't feel anything other than just hunger. My dietary plan says to eat about 3oz of this and 4 oz of that but i can never manage to eat that much. I will try again tonight, maybe im just scared. I will come back and let you know! thank so so much! HUGS!~

Hello My Name Is Gabbi And I was Banded On The 13th! I Have Lost A Lil Over 25lbs:)

Hello Everyone, Ok so I'm 2 weeks post op and have already lost a lil over 25lbs. I feel my stomach growling so I eat, but I'm not able to notice/feel when I have had enough, so I just eat about 5 "spoonfuls" just to be safe. How do you know when to stop eating? thanks!

hello! I had surgery on the 13th (last week) and I havent been able to feel my band. I mean, what does it really feel like? It's empty at the moment, is that why? Please HELP!:rolleyes2:

-------------------------------------- ok well then I guess this is common...???... I started getting the hunger pains since day 2!~ and like an elevator pressure that kept going up and down every now and then. Do you guys know what im talking about?

Hello, I just finished my first week post op and have lost 17 lbs. I am now on phase 2 (puree) and am having trouble eating, not because it wont go down..but because i dont feel hungry. Has that happened to any of you? :thumbup:
