Way too many times I see people talking about I can't get full or I found a way to eat more of what I want.
Why are you even trying? Didn't you do the surgery to change yourself?
These are my thoughts I guess. <_<
And, I mean I know I've only had the band for a week, but "band veterans" you'd think would know...

I'm scheduled for my first fill on Monday 5/21/2012. My doctor didn't tell me anything I needed to do prior to the fill, however I have been reading that you should drink plenty of water prior to the fill and that you should eat a liquid diet prior to the fill so your stomach will be...

I was 199.5, I almost cried. Of course this would have been total awesome if I hadn't notice all my hair was falling out the day before. Yes, it happens to banders too. You can lose your hair. I lose so much hair this week, or maybe I just noticed it. So be...
Surgery was at noon today and I feel great! Man, it was a breeze. My surgeon was great, the anesthesiologist was amazing, and the whole staff was very nice. My husband got stuck with mandatory overtime and was completely distraught he couldn't be with me today, but my dad brought me and sister-in-law came after. Tonight, I'm only...
Hello, I have been approved by my IPA. I called my surgeans office and confirmed that they had received the apporval, but that they needed the Insurance approval, is that correct? I thought all approvals were done by the IPA!!!
Day 3 Friday May 18th 2012 of this new journey. I am feeling much better, besides the bloating. I am excited about learning what my new tummy likes and dislikes. I have to admit that there was times when i would get a little confused reading some negative posts about others not experiencing...
so you have a lap band. you went through all the steps and you are now post-op. you dieted before the surgery to lose that 5% of body weight to reduce the fat around your liver and make the surgery safer. You were a good human...you bit the bullet and now you are fitted with a new borg body part. We'll listen up.. cause things just got a...
I am now ten days post-op. So far so good. I start pureed foods next Wednesday. By doctor's last weigh in pre-op I am down 15 lbs. Per my personal weigh in day of surgery 10 days ago I am down 11 lbs. So I am averaging a loss of a lb a day.
I am getting nervous starting the pureed foods next week, I plan to just eat baby food for...
Well, I had a pretty good day yesterday. I woke up to find I lost another pound!!!
Day 4 I could begin to add firmer proteins to my diet. Didn't feel terribly hungry, head-wise anyhow...and below is my what I ate.
For breakfast, I stuck to coffee with sugar free creamer.
About mid-morning, I made a protein shake for a snack (I...
I had the most misrerable night last night. I have ate salad since surgery and didnt have a problem. However it was iseberg salad and last night I ate romane. I threw up and salad is NOT fun to throw up!! Guess I will learn this about different foods as I go!
It has been a whilke since I have blogged, Things are still good. I am down about 90 pounds, but am having to fight for the last 50 to go away. Anyway, can anyone who has been banded for awhile let me know if you had problems with food going down about 3 months after hitting the green zone? I hit the green zone in Jan 2012, and just lately I...
Hi! Can anyone tell me if after a fill you feel like you have a funny feeling/tickle in your throat?
I met with the surgeon, nutritionist and had my psychological evaluation all in the same day...yesterday! My surgery is set for June 25 first thing in the morning. I am glad they made the most of my trip which is 3 hours away one way. I feel a bit overwhelmed about the food situation after surgery right now. Wondering if I can curb my bad...
Surgery this morning. We got to the hospital about 8:30 this morning. They started getting me prepped for surgery right away. I went in to the OR about 11:15 or so. And was home by 3 pm. My husband and mother were at the hospital with me. I even walk out of the hospital on my own. The gas pain is...
I manage to survive the endless amounts of food thrown in my face last week at work and home... they decided to serve FREE pizza during the after-school program...chewing some EXTRA dessert delights!!! ahhhh
To hear the words, "What's up Skinny". And then 5 minutes later to hear from someone else, "I don't like skinny women." And I'm still in the 200's. Wonder what I'll hear when I get to 170? :)

I was banded on 4/18 and I'm a mess...
I really feel lousy. The food is fine. The not eating as much is fine... Even being in bandster hell is fine.
Clearly it's not about the food...
