Thanknyou to everyone. I cant tll you how much your comments mean to me. I need to stay off the scale and keep doing what I am doing. I am glad I am not alone. I need to lower my expectations, or rather, slower them... it will take time. You all rockThanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! Good luck to you too!!!!

Thanks all!!

I was banded 9/28. I have lost 20lbs in four weeks (2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after). This past week, nothing. Im on mushy food, and I feel bloated and fat. I do not feel like I am losing anything and I am getting depressed. Help me out... is this normal. I terrified that I am stretching my pouch - is that even possible this early? The only activity Im allowed to do is walk, at leaast for three more weeks. Does anybody know the average loss once you start eating regular food? Maybe I am overreacting. Maybe I have to wait for my first fill. I just hate this feeling.

I had surgery on the 28th. When does the pain in the abdomen go away? It feels like a burning pulling of the muscles. Tylenol doesnt work and the scripts knock me out.

I have my period, a week early. Surgery is in 2 day. Do I have anything to worry about? I think the liquid prediet really messed me up

Hi - I am a newbie... just received my surgery date. Have concerns that insurance will deny me... Nervous regarding failure (after a lifetime of failed attempts at weight loss). Please share your experiences with me.

Hi All!

I just got my surgery date this morning. I am admittedly a little nervous to share this news with to many people. I told my boss I will be having suregery (not what type); and I would say about 7 close friends/family (including the husband) are aware of what I am doing. I have not told my siblings or my parents. I am afraid of failure. Or, getting people worked up and my surgery date changes (insurance or other complications).

Would love any advice you can give me.

Thanks!
