Topic: RE: Today is My Month Bandiversary 12/20/7
Hi...I had the lapband that is different. THey say certain foods just dont agree with you. Look on the forum and look under the type of surgery you had and you will find people with the same surgery. You can relate much better to them....I can be your friend though!

You mean you didnt talk to a nutritionist beforehand? I was doing ok till the last week. I am hungry and not feeling full, like I was before. I have cheated a little yesterday and today and I am pissed at myself. Yes, I have been on real foods since the 3rd week. I had a different kind of band that came out. You can eat solids 3rd week and last friday after 4 weeks I had a fill. They say it takes time to work, I dont want to wait!! What are you having trouble with???? How much did you lose and what are you eating? ARe you drinking with meals? Linda

Topic: RE: Normal appetite again?????? Is this normal????
Wow, I am actually kind of pleased to hear that someone else actually feels like me! I am 42 days post op (12/10/07 was my lap band surgery) and I have had one fill. I still feel like I can eat way to much! The other night I ate almost an entire foot long subway sandwhich. A lot of people say it is in the head, but I was really able to eat with out any side effects at all. When will you talk to your surgeon about what is going on? I would love to know what he says. My next appointment (which I begged for) is on Feb 7th.....I am so afraid of failure on this one!

I am doing just fine with mine. I have had two bad experiences with orange juice and raspberry yogurt. I am in my pureed phase now. I will be off of it on the 31st. I will start on solid food then. Sometimes I have a hard time with exercising. I some times wake up a little light headed. Taking the medicines is an adjustment because some of them don't taste the best. How much weight have you lost so far? I keep feeling like I am doing something wrong even through I feel better. I did have several friends that had the surgery and I have been planning to do this for sometime now (4 years). I have had some crackers to help me in the morning (about 2-3). I also mash up sardines in water and eat them about once a week. You should be in the solid food phase now. Just introduce one food every couple of days. Let me know how that helps.

Topic: RE: Realize Band-Johnson & Johnson
I got the card when I left the hospital but didn't realize what it was and chucked it. That is why I need to get customer service to give me a new ID. I checked out the website though. I do admit it seemed a bit busy. Once I get my id (hopefully Tues.) I will set it up and let you know! My doctor told me that the port is the main differance with this band. I think the support system it offers is cool. This way our doctors can log on and track their patients between fills. I was nervous for the fill but honestly I didn't feel anything. I was stressing for nothing. How about you? Take care, and yes let's keep in touch! Sara
