Hi Everyone,
This is my first posting into the group. I stumbled onto this site when I was trying to make an appointment for a fill. I'm so thankful to have found a group that understands what I'm going through. I've kept my surgery a secret from those not in my immediate family and don't really have get alot of support. I had my band put in last June '03. I'm 5'2 and weighed 208. A year and a couple of months later I find myself weighing in at 180. Not a signicant amount of loss, but some nonetheless. I know exactly what my problem is too. I don't exercize like I should. Right after I got my band put in I started to see a significant amount of weight loss. Then I was able to eat more and more, I've never had any stomach cramps or pains, I've never even thrown up. I just had a fill done 2 days ago and am on the liquid diet for the next week. I want to do this the right way. I feel like I'm starting over, but I'm going to need some help. Any recommendations on what to drink that will make me feel full? I swear this stuff goes through me like water, ha-ha. Oh yeah, going back to my intro line, WHat is up with the gas? I thought I was the only one going through this situation. Is it because I wait too long to eat in between meals? If anyone has a clue help me out by giving me one. Thanks a bunch!!!
