i was trying to get on the lap band blog when i click your click but is says "This blog is set to private. This user must add you as a friend to see his/her blog." How can i get added. I always come on this site but i do not post often

Hello All, I really don't post alot, but I read alot of posts on this thread. So many of your guys really up lifts me, encourage me, make me laugh, make me think and sometimes make me so hmmmm...I read so much inspiration on this thread & by reading daily it makes me work harder, enjoy life, enjoy going to the gym and know its a light at the end of this tunnel. I was banded on 02/27/2007 and lost 31lbs as of today. I'm currently at 220 & it feels great. What a lovely feeling to fit in pair of jeans/pants thats been hanging in your closet for a while. (You say to yourself "I'm going to get in those jeans again one day") You finally get the guts & try them on & I BE DAMN,:clap2: they fit, not only do they fit they are a little lose at the waist. So now you are stareing in the mirror pop shaking (pop shaking is a old dance ) and bootie bouncing because you know you look fierce/fine. When you get that feeling(oh! what a wonderful feeling)it keeps you going..Just think how you will feel when that goal is meet. So thats where i'm at this moment & can't wait to see what my future weight lost hold.

I just return from my 1st fill. It was not bad after all. He told me to have liquids until Friday. Saturday & Sunday mushies and Monday I can go back to solids. He really do not have any special instructions regarding eating prior to having adjustments either. Thanks

Hello All, I was banded on 02/27/2007 & today I will go for my 1st fill. By reading the post I do not suppose to eat or drink after midnight the day befor the fill, but on the day of your adjustment can you have something to drink. My doctor did not tell me.

Hello All,I have an confession.:cheated:My son brought home some chocolate chips cookies from school today. School house has the best chocolate chips in the world. I have not had any school house cookies since high school. Im 28 & back in my days the chocolate chips cookies in school was the bomb. You could'nt get those chocalate chip cookies from no where. The was ALWAYS good and ALWAYS soft. If i did'nt eat lunch i made sure i had a bag of them cookies in my purse. Any way guys I ate 2 cookies and :omg: OMG them cookies tasted soooo good. I was so tickle inside on how much I enjoyed them. Soooo I told myself, Michelle you been doing good. I had surgery 02/27/07 & lost 15lbs since. Don't beat your self up. Its been hard staying on my P's and Q's but i been making up. Sooo 10-15 minutes passed by & i sat on the couch wanted another cookie. I told myself "NO"....WHY DID I GET ANOTHER COOKIE. Lorddddd, it was so good, but i felt so bad. I said I was going to do some sit ups tonight until i could'nt do it know more and shake them calories off. I had to tell somebody because I feel so bad, but i know we fall down sometimes, but we will GET UP. Well that is my confession for today. Everyone take care

Thanks...its tough road, but i will follow it. Hope you follow the road also:o .

Hi LouiseR, I was banded on 02/27/07. I have lost 10lb since surgery but the 10lbs was in my 1st week. I have not lost a pound since and it will be 2 weeks on 03/13/07. I been on nothing but liquids. I know thats good, but i kinda feel like you when you said you have not lost any weight in 2 weeks. i thought another 9 or 10lbs would have came off by now.Good Job on your weight lost and keep it up. I hope when i get my 1st fill(have not got a date) the pounds will continue to drop

Not Yet. Im still on liquids. I goto the doctor today so i will see what he will say. I pretty sure he will keep me on liquids for another week to complete 2 weeks of liquids. Its cool with me,, but just can't wait until the mushies stage to get a little food flavor going on

Hello all, I was banded on 02/27/07, i was told to remain on liquids for the 1st 2 weeks after sugery before mushies. I also was told my stomach can only hold 4 oz at a time. My 1st dr. appt is 03/07/07. Some post states they are are able to eat anything without having a problem & once we get the 1st fill that is when the real restrictions come in and you get full faster than not have the fill. So far i have lost 9lbs since i been banded. I'm very careful when i choose and drink my fluids but by reading the post im under the impression if i decided to eat something before my 1st fill it ok, as long as i don't over do it.

Did your doctor tell you the bandage over your scar will eventually come off. I ask my doctor when should i take the bandage off & he told me it will come off eventually. He pulled off the clear skin tape. The cut above my belly button is where the port is at. I had more bleeding there then anywhere else.

Hello All, I was banded on 02/27/07. Its kinda hard getting out the bed due to the pain in my stomach. I had a lot of gas & stomach growling. Its kinda goign away now. ANYONE experience dat. So far so good. This liquid stage is tough, but i got a few different recipes on this site. Im so tempted to step on the scale but, my 1st appt is on 03/07/07(on week after banded) I going to wait until then..GOOD LUCK

Im new to the site. my date is 02/27/2007..2 weeks pre-op kinda tough. but im keeping strong

My sugery date is on 02/27/07. I am so excited but also nervous. I will love to talk with someone that already had the surgery and give me a little insight on there journey so far.
