Just wanted to say that having a period with a lap band makes your stomach feel like a giant Water balloon with a tennis ball inside.

That is all! :unsure:

I have noticed that this month it feels like that... I can feel my uterus this month it's painful never had this happen before weird.

Plus I gained like 7 lbs this past week they say it's Water weight I sure hope it goes away soon and I get back on track...

Here's my trick for chocolate cravings. I keep a bag of Hershey kisses in the freezer. The rule is I can have only one and I have to suck it...no chewing allowed. It takes a long time to suck one til its gone when its frozen and its only 25 calories. It cures my craving every time.

I was recently banded but the first time mine came it was 6 days early and was brighter in color than I ever saw in my life and heavy.

I am scheduled to have my surgery on May 24. My period should come on or around that day. Not looking forward to it. "It" always knows when to strike. I love the hershey kiss idea!!!!

I usually cant tell that I am on my period other than the obvious... no cramping, or anything like that.... but since I have had LB I know its here! I was at Zumba on Tuesday and I thought I was going to fall over from the pain from the cramps! I had to stop and go sit down! It hurt so bad that when I got home I took 2 of my pain pills I had left from surgery! It sucks!!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
