Hi everyone!.

I am always hearing of the golfball pain in the chest that people get. I have not really ever gotten that. I get pain on my left side. just under the breast area. Anyone else get that. Or is something wrong.

I get that pain if I eat too fast. I have the VG band and am filled to 6cc. I am not losing weight and am Hungry like an hour after eating. I take in about 1100 calories a day and I am hungry. But I get that pain on the left side. No PB's( never even had one) And I have slimed 2 times since banding. I am going in for another fill on the 28th to see if I will lose some weight after another fill.

anyone have any advice or coments. I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Oh yes, if I eat to much it feels like my ribcage on the left side is gonna blow out. I posted about this a while back and got alot of feed back that I wasn't the only one.

Just keep an eye on it because heck....you never know.

I'm sorry to be dumb but I've tried to find these answers before asking.

What's PB'ing?

What's Sliming?

I just had surgery last Wednesday and joined here this weekend.

I'm having a lot of Gas Pain in my back and chest and a big golf ball in my chest too. In addition, I'm starving. i'm ready for more then just liquids.

I tried to cut and paste some abreviations I got from someone but it won't let me. But if you go to the main page and scroll down to the bottom and look for FAQ's & References click on that and the second Sticky says Abbreviatons & what they mean these helped me understand.

I found the post with the FAQ... thanks for the info. I'm not so sure I like the defination of those two terms the PB and Sliming sounds kind of weird - I didn't know about those things pre-op.

Cashley, PB's are "productive burps" and sliming is pretty self-explanatory...I have never had either of these things.

Your MIND is ready for more than liquids, but your body isn't. This is about not making your stomach work at all, while it is healing. I know it's tough and unpleasant, but it is temporary, and worth it. Hang in there, all of us bandsters know just how you feel!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
