Is there another clothing swap scheduled?

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I had my lapband surgery on 1-26 and i've lost 30 lbs. so far. It has not been easy. I've went off of it a couple of times, but get back on. I go to my next appointment March 3. I'm going to ask for a fill. I guess after a month they can give me a fill i'm not sure. I feel  hungry all the time. I'm up to eating 1/2 cup per meal. Starting Wed. I can eat 3/4 cups per meal. I'm also allowed 3 crackers or a 1/2 piece of toast with the crust cut off. For lunch yesterday I ate 1/4 cup of tuna and a 1/4 cup of no fat cottage cheese. I mixed them together and put it on the toast. It was very good. I don't think I will be going back to using mayonaise in my tuna. Yesterday I sprinkled my food with flaxseed because of constipation, but I found I felt more full after eating. I guess it's the fiber in the flaxseed. Does anyone have any suggestions on food that is filling? Please share if you do.

Thanks,

Mary

Just thought I would update.....of course, we are pretty sure that inside is beautiful b/c it always is during an exploratory (usually an adhesion or two), but not enought to create the pain I am having.  The surgeons have all talked and feel comfident that it is something in the  GI as Dr. Peters has already revised the Y to make it larger.  So....I am going to see a GI specialist for meds (I have been on Bentyl in the pasted, but Peters said there are so many GI meds and he would feel better with me heading to a specialist).  Anyway, the thought is that the feeling on digestion (which somehow I have developed) triggers my brain to register as pain.   He is not too sure, but we are going to try the GI thing.  He also asked me to go to another facility (Hopins, etc.) to see if they can see anything or have a fresh idea or discuss an idea he had that I am not ready to discuss.  Then back to Peters in May to asess where we are....if not wonderful he will do an exploratory right after school so that I can still have my plastics in July. I am back to Pheneregan for nausea (and the drowsiness has returned - I forget how long that lasted before Pheneregan did not have that effect), pain meds, and Loranzapam so I can sleep at night!

Thank you all for your support.  I have a "Carrot" again and feel that maybe just maybe this is not how it will be for life!  Hope all is going well with you!

WOW Amy I am so sorry for what you are going through...My surgery is on Thurs at St. Francis with Dr. Peters....should I tell him to get off his duff and figure out what's wrong with you???? LOL j/k

Hugs and wow please keep us updated...that would surely put me near 6ft under...
