may I ask what your menu consist of? My scale has not moved in a month. Sooo frustrated. I think I may be consuming too much. I do zumba 5 days a week. At a loss for what to eat. I dont eat fast food anymore or drink soda . Just frustrated. I have only lost 28lbs including preop weight...yikes

Hey I know how you feel...I am a stress eater too...hang on in there,,,you are doing well

Oh man thats great! I so cant see me losing close to that much. I was banded 5 weeks ago and I just had my second fill today. I swear the darn thing isnt working...yikes...Happy for you though. My weight loss is at a stand still

I love Dance Central 1 and 2 for the kinect. I also recently purchased zumba for the xbox kinect...Talk about a good workout...I love it and I do it 7 days a week and then go to a live zumba class every saturday!!!

I was thinking the same thing....I am newly banded...only 5 weeks out and I have lost 24lbs. I have just been eating things in moderation and exercising. The band isnt about dieting persay. Its about portion control and satisfaction. Dont limit yourself too much because it will be that much harder later on. You wont b interested in those foods everyday. I applaud your effort for a healthier you because its sooo hard to make the transition from our preband food to our post band food choices Dont be so hard on yourself!

See this is why I lost this website...I was banded on 12/22. I have only lost 16lbs since the surgery and have been around the same weight since 2 weeks ago with no weight loss. I am glad to see the same stall in weight loss happend to you guys too! Swore I was doing something wrong. I had my first fill yesterday 1/20/12. She put 5cc in my 11cc band. It seems like alot but I handled it just fine. No side effects so far. She told me not to start solids until Monday. I am kinda scared though because 5cc seems like alot. How much did they put in your first fill Sandymax? She also told me if I didnt feel any restriction that I could come back in a week for another fill!!!

Lets keep in touch

I had my post op appointment last friday. My check up sounds exactly like yours. I have no restriction right now. I get my first fill January 20th. I cannot wait. My appetite is back with a vengeance and I am so ready to be done with mushies. I was banded back on 12/22/11. I am 21lbs lighter and loving every minute of it. Looking forward to even more weight loss in the weeks to come.

Congratulations on the 9lb weight loss. I too was banded 5 days ago. I did some crying as well. It was more from me missing my relationship with food and my family eating all around me. Its especially hard because I have to cook for my two young children. I lost 5lbs in 5 days but 17lbs total since i had to start optifast on 12/9/11 which was 2 weeks before the surgery. I know what you mean about the pain on the left side near rib. I get the same pain every now and again, but outside of that I feel great. Decaf Tea has become my best friend, as well as pina colada protein shakes. I am not into soups so thats what I have been living off of...Good Luck to you...this is such an exciting time for the both of us
