Rene, my semi-sarcastic crack about the implants was because after my surgery, I bought 1 (yes one) share of Inamed stock, just for amusement purposes. So, with the implant being approved I made like $3.00 over the past 2 days.

OK, neither Eileen or I actually have bands yet, so you MAY want to use the search function - type in PB and like a thousand posts will come up from lots of people who DO have bands - but, I will give you the wisdom I have gleaned from countless hours of hanging out on LBT:

PB's are caused by eating too fast, taking too-big bites, not chewing enough, or any combination of the above.

It can also happen if you have too much restriction.

Eat SLOW

Take TINY little bites

Chew. Chew until you think the food is mush and then chew some more.

For the most part, it seems that if you follow these rules, you will avoid the infamous and much dreaded PB.

BUT - if you do have one, you need to do liquids & mushies for a day or two afterward to let the irritation in the esophagus calm down.

I am just quoting the folks that actually have the band - use the search function and check out words of wisdom from the already banded...

:]

I love you, you love me.... EEEEEWWWWEEEE!!! My husband says he is fascinated by the Teletubbies and the little sun... Which is incredibly frightening, since we don't have any kids.... (EEEK!)

He also calls my LBT friends the Krelboines... who knows that reference?

(Go Lisa - ride! ride! ride!!)

Ahh but there are two Mr. Noodles (neither of them talk) and there's Mr. Noodles Sister.

Now Mr. Noodles is the original, you see him occasionally and then there is

Mr. Noodles Brother Mr. Noodles who died a few years ago, they think he killed himself, he's the one you see alot on tv.

I haven't seen Mr. Noodles sister Miss Noodles in a long time. They all do little skits in Elmo's World.

Beanie, tell your DH that there is nothing wrong with watching or liking kiddy shows, I still watch them with my DD... actually its all we watch. I couldn't tell you any adult shows that are on since 2001 LOL (really earlier than that, I lost it when reality shows hit the air waves). Krelboines hmmmmmmm sounds like he's a Trekky lolol.

Lisa have fun tonight at the HODOWN!!! I like my man in just a hat and boots too....(nothing else LOLOL).

Nothing planned for me this weekend, I gotta try to get rid of this cold...

How about you all ?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
