Need Help Getting Back On Track

I'm really having a hard time getting back on track. Can't seem to get motivated, I wish there were a support group in my neighborhood. Little Company of Mary support group only meet once a month. If anyone had their surgery done at LCM in Chicago and know of a LB support group please let me know. Thank God I have some restriction, although I could use a fill. Maybe if I get a fill that might give me the boost I need to get back on track.

Is It Normal?

Four weeks post-op and I'm down 27lbs, this is great but I can't say I'm completely thrilled about the way the weight has come off. In the last 4 weeks I have only been able to keep a few things down. I just started on soft solid foods, however I have decided to stick with liquids a little while longer. It seems like everything I put in my mouth comes right back up. Its really starting to become annoying. Even water, tea, and milk come back up. I get this really thick mucus like saliva that come

No weight loss?

Woke up this morning started with my normal ritual, hopped on the scale, again today no freakin' weight loss:mad2:. I'm really pissed, 5 days post-op, which means nothing by these damn liquids, and stil nothing no weight loss. I'm trying not to be so uptight about but it's really hard.   Has anyone else this problem? is it normal? I must admit I haven't done a lot of exercise, today I'm going to kick my exercise plan into gear. Forcing myself to get over it!

Three days post-op

I'm three days out from my surgery, and I'm doing great :biggrin:. I must admit I was really scared and didn't really know what to expect, but know that I have been banded I am extremely happy I did it. I've been in very little pain, and I even walked 30 minutes on the treadmill today :thumbup:. The only problem I've had so far is getting all my liquids in. I'm a little worried about becoming dehydrated, really don't want that to happen. Today I'm going to really push myself to get the liquids i

Almost There

Hi All, I am on my 6th day of liquid diet (woo hoo!!!), it's been a hard, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I felt a little weak after the 4th day so I had a small bowl of turnip greens. I felt much better afyerwards. My surgery is set for February 4th, I'm a little anxious, but still very excited about the future.
