I thought I would start a thread and as we get more Merry Losers than they can copy and paste and add their names.

I posted a poll asking everyone to mark the week they were banded . . . it didn't have an option for 31 choices . . . so I opted for week .. . we're trying to see how many people we actually have in the Merry Losers!

OOPS. thought the list looked sparse. Here is a repost of the correct list with my name added.

I was banded on 12/27.

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f100/attempting-poll-december-surgery-dates-48505/

the girls that were talking about being so hungry ... I was too. Had my first fill on 1/3 and I feel MUCH better. Haven't wanted to eat near as much. I know it will settle some. It has helped a lot though. I go back on Jan. 31.

And, my port feels like the size of a silver dollar and sticks out when I get up and down from bed. It feels like a little alien head like in the movie alien.

Ok I got my first fill today and boy can I tell the difference they had me drink a cup of water before I left and it felt like the water got stuck now that restriction I am now on all liquid for the first day and next 2 days soft soilds, but I fell like I did the day after surgery :whoo:

I so glad to hear others are just like me. I had lunch with friends today and ate way more than I should have. I have been trying to hold things to 1/4 to 3/4 of a cup but today I got out of control. I ate 2/3 of a vegetable and cheese omelet, about 5 small potato cubes and 1/2 English muffin with butter and jelly. I felt no restriction and I think that that is why I did it. I was testing the band. Felt no discomfort at all. I can't even say I felt full although I have felt full with less in the past. I guess I won't be eating out until I go to the doctor on the 11th. I can really control it in my home environment. For one thing, I don't have all that much on my plate. I do not get hungry in between my meals. I try to hold to an eat every 3 hour schedule. I am getting in all of my required protein and liquids and vitamins. Guess that is why I am not hungry but that is a good thing.

I also am not allowing myself to go out to eat any more. When I do I have a tendency to clean my plate. If I bring my lunch to work or fix a plate at home I seem to eat a lot less. So I am restricting my eatting out

Hi Destiny, that is great news can you tell us what size band you have (10cc?) and how many CC's they put in for the first fill? I know everyone is different I am just curious to see the numbers.

Hubby is in the mushies stage moving to the real food stage (banded 12/19). He's asked me to pass on some of what he calls "free foods". These are all Atkins friendly, lower carb/cal and they go down easy:

asparagus

canned green peas

mushrooms

zucchini (with tomatoes if you can find them)

and, the ever popular...

sugar free popsicles and even Dreamsicles (5 cal. more)

Hi Destiny, that is great news can you tell us what size band you have (10cc?) and how many CC's they put in for the first fill? I know everyone is different I am just curious to see the numbers.

I have a 10cc band I got 2 cc fill they let me see my port and pouch on the screen than I had to drink that white chalky stuff . so far so good I feel like the day after surgery tight...

I am not allowed vegies unless they are mushy. And I dont like them mushy.

I am not restricted on the type of food I can have though. (sugar free)

I can have whatever I want. as long as it goes down smooth.

My dr told me I can eat anything I want because I cant eat much of anything.

I won't get my first fill until the 16th. But I found out the hard way that I have a band!

Last night DH fixed supper. Lasagna and Brussels sprouts, I'm on mushies. Without thinking I put half a sprout in my mouth, chewed it briefly (like pre-surgery) and swallowed. OH MY. It hurt! I didn't know if it was going down or coming up for the longest time. Finally it went down. I waited quite a while before trying eat again. Everything was fine after that. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I'd had more restriction. Oh well, lesson learned!
