Paperwork that I received prior to surgery said to drink only decaf..I tried it and hated it...Month after surgery I asked my dr can i plz have reg coffee and he said yes...He said he can't expect me to stop drinking it b/c he knows that he couldn't..LOL...Been drinking it ever since...

OMG!!! i so feel your pain, Sunday I cooked a beef roast for lunch and tried to eat, after my first 2 bites i was in the bathroom....Not a good feeling

that's pretty awesome..keep up the good work...

WOW, I think you are both doing great....I was banded on 12/16 and I'm only down 17lbs..yea that's right only 17 lbs..I had my 3rd fill on 3/12 and now I finally feel some restriction. My dr seems fine with the amount of weight i loss, or should I say lack of weight I lost.lol..He says it needs to be slow b/c I'm on the smaller end of a lap band patient. Well i'm glad he feels that way but I'm ready to shed these pounds.

ok ok ok...so how much did you drop???

Wow....your Dr is leaving and you weren't notified by letter?? Great customer service....Did they recommend another Dr for you? geesh

you look great...i've been keeping up with your updates b/c i think we had surgery around the same time. Mine was 12/16, I'm not doing nearly as well as you are....But I'm still happy

Good luck on your journey, i'm sure you'll do well..

Wow!!! you shouldn't be eating chicken 4 days out, you really need to follow your Dr's orders. You don't want to injure your stomach or your band. You will be hungry and most ppl don't feel restriction until 3 or 4 fills. I'm still new to this as i was only banded 12/16, i just had my 2nd fill last week and i haven't had restriction since my surgery. At this point it's pretty much mind control that stops me from over eating. You've come too far to fail, so plz follow dr's orders.

wow congrats

wishing you a speedy recovery...

Awesome!!!! keep up the good work....you're my motivation

good luck on your recovery

wow 40 lbs in a month??? that's awesome. I was banded on 12/16 and i'm discouraged b/c i'm not shedding any pounds. I lost 11 right after surgery and that's it..I did shed some inches though b/c now my clothes are getting too big. I just long for the day that i step on the scale and notice a difference... So do tell us, what are you eating and are you exercising??

how awesome...i can't wait to drop a pants size....

wow that's sucks....so sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon so that you can move on to mushies...

I was banded on 12/16 and was extremely tired as well..I still get tired mid day at work where I fell that if i blink to long i will fall asleep. I've been taking my vitamins, but i do believe that when i go in next week for my first fill i will have them give me a B12 injection.

hi there, i too had a hernia but dr repaired it when i was banded on 12/16...I wish you luck on your journey. I've read your other post about your depression and abusive relationship, and I pray that you pick yourself up and move forward and NEVER look back. You are a beautiful young lady and I know that you can do this....I would be happy to be your lapband friend, so let's keep in touch...

So glad to see that i'm not the only one who hasn't lost anything once i started mushies...I was beginning to get depressed about it, but guess it's the norm....Good luck to all of you, i have my 1st fill on 1/18 and I hope that i feel some restriction afterwards....

congrats

congrats to you!!! you are so funny, i look forward to reading your post...

4cc's?? wow seems like a lot...i have my first fill on the 18th, can't wait. Glad to know it's not painful...

OMG!!! i too am burping ALOT...they are massive, so massive my husband is like "what the what?"

wow i so wish my dr would allow musy's on day 9...i have to wait till day 14...i'm so ready to eat me some fish and baked sweet potatoes. WOW 23/28lbs is AWESOME!!!!! CONGRATS keep up the good work...

I so feel what you are going through, and trust me it's normal. I was banded on 12/16 and i cried a few days before. I think i'm on day 5 post op and i'm feeling pretty good. keep us posted
