Were you able to eat more before your fills? @ short and chunky because I can eat almost 2 slices of pizza. That scares me a bit. I'm hoping when I get filled I won't be able to eat as much.

Terri what part of Texas did you have your surgery done in? I live in Tx (dallas/ft w) and had my first consult last week. I have had so many people try to talk me out of this. Im on Weight Watchers too and lost 13 lbs in a month. Ive got about 80 lbs to go. I really enjoy reading your posts. I was following the lady a few pages back that was so nervous. She was 8 hrs from surgery and then never reposted...ugh. One thing I am really worried about is my skin sagging after I loose the weight. Today a fitness instructor tried to talk me out of it for that very reason. Hope I don't chicken out!

Does anybody have problems with bread? That seems to be the one thing I keep hearing about.....I will never be able to eat bread or drink pop again. It's ok as long as I can still eat Mexican food. Lol

That's great a few of us have the same Dr,.!! Every now and then I have problems with bread. The smaller the bite the better!! SIssy, I had my psych appt and she just asked a few questions then she will give you a web site that will instruct you on your evaluation!!There were alot of questions!! You will be able to loose the weight from weight watchers on the 2 weeks pre-op diet!! It took me 2 days for approval after she checked my psych questionaire! I am 50 and my skins seems to be doing fine!! But i'm just getting started!! I'd rather have a little loose skin than be overweight! Hey Tahnee I finally can put a face with your name!!

I don't have any problems with bread but that may be because I haven't gotten a fill yet. I am hoping to do this without getting a fill because I feel that the plication gives me plenty of restriction.

The only carbonated drink that I've had since surgery was a malt beverage about a week ago. For the most part it was fine but I was at a club where the not only stop serving drinks at 2 am they take your drink away from you so I decided to chug about half the 12 oz bottle and that took a little effort but it wasn't painful

i haven't had any carbination but I saw on some site that people do after about 6 mo. after surgery!! I'm think I'm just going to stay away from that!! I had a fill last wed and it still feels a little tight I think I may need to have a little Fluid taken out and then I will prob be in the green zone!! Hope everyone is having a great day!!

I have lost 36lbs since having the lapband & plication in November. I do miss bread, but the results are worth it. Good luck on your surgery.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
