Thanks all

A SODA!!!!!!!! A COKE -- JUST A FEW SIPS -- THAT'S IT!!!!! NOW I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.

Thank you very much for this much needed information.

I enjoy just about everything the same, except SHRIMP....it makes me want to puke just typing about it. And I use to love me some shrimp. Oh and since we're not supposed to have steak or chops, I'm always craving them, but eat maybe once a month. And I have to make sure I CHEW, CHEW, CHEW.

I have. My surgeon is Dr. Hitesh Amin. He's located in Clinton, MD @ S. MD Hospital. I've had 2 fills and didn;'t have any issues during or after.

In case you haven't heard, gurlllll You look amazing

Thank you much needed advice for my journey.

This blog will help keep me motivated. Thanks and congrats!!

Good luck Shonda. I will say a prayer for you. Let us know how things went when you are able.

Get yourself some chewable Gas-X and walk. It helps. A lot.

Thanks Kelly K....I better get it in now!!!!

I know I have to be on liquids after the fill, should I be on soft/liquids before the fill?

Thanks Tina for the suggestions. I could taste a steak/cheese sub right about now.

Thanks Doc. I gained 2 lbs from 2 wks ago. I've only been banded 1 month, but was looking forward to a fill. Hopefully in two weeks I will get a fill. GL2U also. And 40 lbs in 6 1/2 weeks is wonderful.

Well I went to the Dr. yesterday hoping to get a fill and didn't. My Dr. said he'll wait for 2 more weeks. In the meantime, I'm hungry, I'm exercising and I'm going up and down on the scale. Will a fill help me continue to lose, help w/the hunger or what? Cause in two weeks I will be demanding a fill. Yesterday was 1 month since being banded. Any suggestions?

Thank you. Nice blog. And real.

I just posted a msg about the gas on your page. And get to the blog page and your title is GAS. LOL.....so here it is again.....get you some chewable Gas-X and Walk, walk walk. It helps trust.

and....if you have to eat something, make it a healthly snack. No Sugar, low calorie.

I'm so happy for you. God answers prayers when He thinks need. I'll say a prayer for you. Take care. I have 1 more week myself.

I started today and cheated. I was not happy about that, since this is my 1st time doing the liquid thing. I truely understand how you feel. My surgery date is 5-27. It seems like 12-27. I'll say a prayer for you. Keep me updated.

I have several pieces also that are what I call my goal clothes. Congrad!! I know you must feel awesome!!!!

Wishing you well on you WL Journey from Maryland.
