It does and will get better. I took an over the counter sleeping pill so I could sleep.

Decided to get off my a$$ and jumped on treadmill. I decided why not try this new product I bought. It is a sweat suit from Kuting Weight. Am I crazy. YES. It was already 90+ degrees here and my treadmill is in the sun room. Also put on the lotion that is supposed to help you sweat in those places that never sweat. For me it would be arms and thighs. I looked like a bratwurst with the skin wrapped too tight. But I was determined. I only did it for twenty minutes as I was sweating like a pig a a pig roast. But goal accomplished I sweat-ed my butt off. Going to garden now to hoe

Way to go awesome.

Congratulations. Now the work begins

Id say gallbladder first then lap band. Good luck with your decision.

Happy dance. Congratulations on your hard work paying off.

I know its probably because the majority of food has been bad carbohydrates: mashed potatoes, puddings and such. Today I got more protein today in. I decided to move onto soft foods not just mushy pureed food and seemed much more satisfied. Today I ate a half cup of almonds that I chewed forever for breakfast, tuna with a little of mayo over some fresh lettuce picked from my garden. Then at dinner I made some crappie fried and ate three brocolli florets with a little cheese. Todays calories though only added up to 883. I had astrange episode this afternoon though. While in my garden I was bending over and my vision went strange and I got dizzy. Had to sit but it wouldnt go away. So I laid down for an hour. Dont know what that is about. Tomorrow Im going to do light aerobics and just move. Need to get this thing on a roll

I discovered also that i love food. i love cooking. I love everything about it. I even record some shows on the food channel. When I can eat more regular stuff i will make sure my meals are worthy of eating. The liquid diet suks royally

Now the journey begins. Im very happy for you. Get plenty of rest and recover

When i went on HCG and lost a bunch of weight I gave away 12 lawn size trash bags full of clothes. Im with you on not buying any until I lose at least 30 pounds

I am 3 weeks post op and I am told by my dietitian not to diet yet but stay on mushy/ pureed foods. In doing that I am gravitating to not so good food choices like pudding, mashed potatoes and cereals. I'm afraid my mindset wont change. I am not satisfied and feel like eating and am eating more than just those three meals. Not sure what I should do. I haven't gained but hasn't moved either. Just getting over TOM's visit so I'm not sure if that has part to do with it cause it started around the time I got the curse Wondering what others do during this stage? My first fill is scheduled June 15th.

Three weeks since being banded. I have two more weeks on mushy food and Im finding myself gravitating to bad foods. Seems the only thing mushy I want is carbs like pudding, cereals and mashed potatoes. My dietitian doesn't want me to diet but I am worried I am not changing my mind set. A little frustrated.

You can definitely tell a difference. You can tell

I like what qtney1 said you have to do whats right for you. And wont that be a sweet day when you can say I told you so. My husband wasn't to thrilled at first either. But I let him know I wasn't asking for permission. Since then he has been very caring. At first he only thought about how it would effect him. Grant it Im not fun as much fun anymore during mealtime, but I will be a blast in other ways

Girl get some Gas X it does a body good

I have some stuff that I already bought but am not ready to wear yet. Here goes some TMI: one is a school girl outfit with 6 inch heels that are pink and then theres the naughty cop outfit with thigh high boots.Husband better watch out cause I have some handcuffs for that outfit

Im on mushies now. I made some lentil soup and even some potato salad for my husband for the holiday. I ate the mushy part. My scale will hate me in the morning Im sure. Be careful at the gym. Im sticking with walking until my first fill.

I made some lentil soup which for some reason gave me some satisfaction. Maybe it was the cooking part. I put in a jar of baby food, pureed ham lol. Didn't taste too bad. I also made my husband some potato salad to go with his steak. Man is it hard to cook and not taste to make sure it was the right seasoning combination. Managed just tasting a little to see if I got it right. o well we will see what the scale says about that. SO far only had 600 calories so shouldn't be too bad. I was bad though I had a few sips of husbands wine. It was heavenly

Maybe make a deal no exercise no internet. I have done that with house cleaning and my house isnt a mess

Very cool someone banded the same day :

Hello Ladies. I was on pain meds for about ten days mostly at bedtime towards the end. Im still on mushy diet until the 15th of June when I get my first fill. Ive lost 14 pounds since being banded on May 11th. Yes we are a small group but thats ok.

Seems like alot of food. Good luck.

Went for my first restaurant meal since surgery on May the 11th. I have to get used to not getting to eat certain items. Im still on the mushy stage for foods until my first fill on June 15th. So I picked a cream potato soup. Not great choice calorie wise but Im not supposed to be concerned about that until my first fill. I enjoyed it but my families family go out to meal is steak and seafood. So my son loves Lonestar. The guys got huge Ribeyes. To date I am down 14 pounds. I started supplements three days ago. Yuk. Chew-ables. I feel like Im 4. We have a home group for bible study once a month and yeah we host. So that means I provide the majority of the food. Didnt feel like cooking so bought a coconut cream cake and fruit platter. and I ate yogurt. Had some questions about why I wasnt eating and I just said Im having some stomach issues at moment. Everyone left it at that For some reason I have become addicted to the food network lol. Hooked on Hungry Girl

Wow you are on mushies already. I think we have to remember we are not to focus on losing weight now but get used to our band. You are probably retaining alot of fluids and gas still and your weight wont move down. You will lose weight. Just focus on doing what you need to, to heal. Water, rest and fluids. Have you started supplements? Your body might be holding on to the weight for dear life thinking you are in famine mode

Though lap band surgery is minimally evasive it still is surgery and they probably wont proceed without someone there. As with ANY surgery there is always a risk associated with it. You will need to find a friend of some sort. Shoot pay someone if you have yo from off the streets (just joking on that) I am really spunky person but this surgery did put me down for about three days. Which totally surprised me.
