welcome to the site! i'm sure you'll find lots of love here!!! my husband will be banded on that day as well:) just remember the band is a tool and i think you will be fine...i am by no means an expert as i was just banded two weeks ago, but i am determined to make this work...many of us are/were scared to have this procedure, but i think we are more scared of what will happen to us if we don't do something about our weight...a year ago i was one of those people that thought i would never go to such drastic measures to lose weight, but look at me now...good luck to you and keep us posted.

zumba for wii! sounds like fun! i also have been fridge shopping and not feeling any hunger:( i really paid attention to my body yesterday and ate way less than i had in a few days...those old pesky habits...

woohoo!

Ladies you are all doing fine (like I would know). Don't rush the process since this is a life time committment. I am so proud of each and every one of your.

Oh and my first fill is scheduled for 3/14. So right at a month after my surgery

congrats on meeting your first goal! too bad about the fitbit! i love it...

wow! i am saddened that you had to have this experience, but you know "haters gon' hate" (!) so let them. i work in a space that is dominated by women and i knew that telling certain people would ensure that the whole office knew so i wouldn't have to tell my story a million times. i know we are all different, but i am now proud of the fact that i had the courage and smarts (pat, pat) to take advantage of my employer paying for me and my husband to have this procedure! i'm telling everyone now and it feels good. i have been holding this secret hostage since i began the process last summer. i still haven't told my mom, but like others have already expressed it may be a good idea to consider sharing the news with your husband in case complications arise. you must be doing a lot of things right if those office haters are willing to go to any length to make you feel and look bad. head up! keep plugging away:)

hello! i am feeling wonderful!!! in fact, today i plan not to use the liquid percocet that i was prescribed and just use the liquid tylenol. remember that everyone's experience is different! i do have some slight discomfort at times and that is mainly from being in the bed too long so i found a comfy chair in my house and was in it most of yesterday. the most pain i feel is around where i think my port must be and some ocassional gas pains...not to gross you out but i have been able to pass gas now since yesterday and it is a wonderful feeling (awww the little things)!! I am so excited for both of you and want you to know that i was also scared out of my mind!!! now that it is over i am so grateful and able to feel excited. i wish you both the best of luck...lets keep in touch:)
p.s. i had the strategy of getting all doses of pain meds while i was in the hospital! this kept me pain free...and i wasn't a zombie either...i have a youtube account where i have been making small videos along the way! you can see me in action...im phatkatblue there also!
