Topic: RE: LapBand 3/17/09 wwight loss
I had lapband on the 18th and I was down 18 pounds this morning. I feel like it is going so slowly and trying not to be depressed and resentful.
I guess that is 18 pounds I couldn't lose before.

I'm so jealous of you guys eating meat! I mean I can't touch it unless it's mushy. I wish I could have a piece of chicken!

i wish i was having lack of issues lol! i passed out 15 days outta surgery and have had the ''foamies'' quite a few times! i cant get in enough protein and i usually feel lightheaded because of it. but i love to drink liquids! [just found CANS of light minute maid lemonade that are 0sugars 5cals i drank 1 today and it kinda tricked my mind into thinking it was soda but it wasnt...its lemonade in a can!] anyway...and to top it off i have gall stones so im sometimes in pain when im eating [well uncomfy mostly] but i love my RNY and im 40lbs down in less than 2 months no matter what problems occur im happy with my decision!

Topic: RE: Medications
I was told I could still swallow the pills as long as they weren't larger than a pencil eraser (on a #2 pencil of course
). It takes forever to do that, so the crushing has come in handy!
I appreciate all your ideas. They have been significantly helpful!!!

Topic: RE: Cant sleep lying down yet????
I had surgery on March 20. The first week I could sleep on my back as long as my head and shoulders were proped up with a ton of pillows. The second week after surgery I could sleep on my back but not on my side. Now I'm sleeping on my back, stomach, side, any way I want to now. I had the realize band done so maybe thats why it's been a little easier.

Good luck with the grilled chicken snack wrap.(from McD's right)...thats what got me all messed up and do my original post...but I did have the sauce and tortilla, only 3 bites i was sick for at least an hour.....
But it did taste good going down at least LOL!!!

That stinks. :(
I can't eat chicken either. No meats here other than canned mushy chicken with ff mayo.

I didn't measure anything so I don't really know what qty's I have been eating. But I had the same thoughts That I was "Tricked" into thinking I had surgery, like some lab experiment to see if the "placebo" surgery has the same effect....If so I WANT MY $$ BACK! LOL The truth is we did have surgery, and it does work differently for everyone. I suppose we're the lucky ones since we're not puking ever 15 mins, however, I think we may have to be more diligent about our eating habits since we recognize that we have less issues. I have been doing STRICT NO CARBS and working out for a full 30 mins every morning that as seemed to help me alot. Also I started drinking 80-100 oz of water a day...everyday. I think I'm over the stall, because I feel like I have lost but I'll be glad when I can get on the scales and see for sure!!
