  1. Does anyone know of a FILL Dr in SF Bay Area?
  2. Hey Margaret, My band is 10MM and I only got 1.66cc versus T1 who got 2cc. On Monday when I could eat I had a lean cusine tri tip meal with taters and broccoli... I spit at the last bite because I got this really fast oncoming tightness of the chest. Like the food was sticking as other people have mentioned. I stopped eating took several deep breaths and it passed within 4 minutes. I'm also extra super gassy like it never stops... does anyone know why that happens.... Cheers, Tara
  3. How are you doing? I finally had surgery and have lost 9 pounds since 10/10. Let me know how you are. Have you had your first fill?

  4. TO IMWITHTHEBAND, Yes I feel the exactly same- god is telling me to sit up and stand up straight! I may have to get my workstation adjusted to a sit stand so I can work on the posture. Thanks for posting you question! All of you offer great insight... Cheers, Tara
  5. Im 5 weeks Banded, and I know I shouldn't be complaing so soon but how long does majority of Bander port soreness last? It aches all the time and feels much better when I elongate my toro. It feels like its really right under my skin and you can really feel something foregin is inside you. Thanks for the feedback! Cheers, Tara
  6. I have only be banded for little over 3 weeks, and last Saturday I must of eaten to much even though I didnt think it was alot. I had severe chest pains, like right under my left breast. It hurt so bad my breathing was off and it hurt; I had to go to sleep. This has happened to me twice in varying degreesof pain, so pay attention to what you ate before it happens. It could be the combination of food or simply something specific that causes chest pains I try to look at the clock the minute I sit down and try to make sure it takes at least 20 minutes to eat dinner, so I dont eat to much. However, the kicker is the longer you drag out dinner the longer you have to wait to have a drink. Cheers, Tara
  7. Im really glad I continue to read the forum- they do really help me feel normal. I stopped loosign 1 week after sugery, its so frustrating and makes it easy to fall into old ways. I just started solid foods and trying to get all my stuff eaten written done on daily plate, but its hard. I am eating half of what I use to eat, but still not seeing anything on the scale. So I am determine to figure out why. This week promise myself to drink at least 6 8 oz a water a day and walk 30 minutes. Do just that.... then next week I will add something else to my routine... Rules are Dont BEAT yourself up, Remain positive, and start a one new good habit a week! Hope that helps!!!!! Cheers! Tara
  8. I think overall I may have spent some more in the beginning, but I am sure it will balance itself out once I go to solid foods. Here's what I plan to do: Buy all my whey powder and protein bombs on Bodybuilding.com- they are the cheapest out there and ship very fast like 3 days. Look for the special k proten waters when on sale keep a list of regular food items like the Yogurt drinks and buy when on sale Hope that helps! Cheers, Tara
  9. Jessica, Thanks for your words of encouragement. I do believe your right when it comes to water and the protein of course. I finally got an account on dailyplate.com and surprisingly with the cream soups a little sometime has alot of calories in it, so now I am more aware of how much I am eating. However, according to dailyplate if I want to loose 2lbs a week then I can have 1750 calories per day. That seems really high, I thought it was more around 1000-1500. Is there any diet plans on the forum that provide a calorie count per day or suggest recommend plan? I just want to make sure when I get to day 22, that I make sure to follow the right plan.
  10. Hi there, Had some additional protein the last two days and the weight is coming off again. It must of been that! thanks for all the advice its much appreciated. cheers, Tara
  11. Hey Queen Fiona, Thanks for your post and the does make sense, but I have gained 4lbs back and I am barely eating! Very disheartening, I could live with not loosing but gaining back what I already lossed is enough to make me go crazy. I am wondering if part of it is that I was not getting enough protein. I realized on Wed this week that I was barely getting 20grams of protein a day, and Dr. Miranda had said at least 30 grams per day- 50 grams of protein was the max. Yesterday I had 27 grams, and still working to get that up today. I am thinking that maybe my body thinks its starving itself, so that is the reason for the gain. I have a call into Dr. Miranda. I got the protein water finally, Safeway didn't have it had to go to luckys's and I also ordered some 25g liquid protein from Bodybuilding.com, so hoping by Monday I might see a shift. Cheers, Tara
  12. Im on the creamy soup stage also, and I use the same size bowl each time. It helps me gauge how much I am eating.... during the first few days I maybe had 1 cup, now its almost 2 weeks Im up to two, but that might be too much in one sitting. Cheers, Tara
  13. I cant wait till I feel well enough to move around and get crazy with my man. I have heard from a few other bandsters that it really improved their relationship. I am hoping every little bit will help! Cheers, Tara
  14. Stormy, I heard that most people come in morning and are okay to go home same night. I guess you might need to stick around the area incase you may have to much restriction and need them to make an adjustment. It sounds like most people kinda know about 6-8 hours after fill if they may have too much restriction. I plan on flying in 2 or 3rd week of Nov and flying home same day. Cheers, Tara
  15. Hi Stormy, I have been banded for only 11 days. I got a pill crusher/cutter when I went to TJ- I am sure you can get cutter here at Walgreens or Longs... I tried to mass them and then put them in shout glass with juice, but half of it stuck to the glass. Then I was gulp fasting to hurry up and get refil the glass to finish it off. For pills that are too big to crush like 800 Motrin I cut into 8 pieces and take it that way. I have been fine with that and I had stomach issues before, but test your body and see how it does. For my biotin and fiber they are capsules so I either cut them or unscrew them and pour them in my Dannon Light Yogurt Drink then shake well. PS- I take Ambien-CR and you cant crush them because they are Controlled Release. Dr Orcuza said its okay to take, but when you get a fill if you have problems you may have to switch your meds to just ambien so you can crush. Cheers, Tara
