That's great! Way to go!

That's fantastic! What a great idea of adding beads. Might have to do that too.

WandaO-That's awesome! Great weight loss and story. Happy Bandaversary! My One Month will be coming up on the 18th. I've lost 15 lbs since my surgery date and I couldn't be happier with the results so far. My pants are fitting loser and that's the best feeling. Looking forward to getting my first fill and my diet progressing to the next stage.

Thanks Sleepyone405! Welcome to you too! Well, yesterday marked 3 weeks Post Op! Can't believe it. It took me a lot longer than I thought to feel back to normal--about 2weeks. At about day 10 was the beginning of the turnaround for me. I had a hiatal hernia fixed during the lab band surgery and that really made for a more painful recovery for me. My surgeon removed the 2cc from my band 1 week PO so it would relive some pressure for me. It definitely helped so I could actually drink and breath a lot easier. Since my surgeon thinks I had quite a bit of swelling I am still on full liquids. Waiting till after week 4 for oatmeal and cream of wheat. I never thought I would crave oatmeal but I can't wait. Not sure if I'll ever be able to eat soup again. My first fill is June 28th so I am looking forward to that! Sorry for the rambling....I hope you are recovering well.

sleepyone405--Bought a treadmill and few years ago and it's been a great investment. There really is no excuse not to work out it's right there in your house! So I didn't treadmill it yesterday but did get out for walk. Plan to do the same today.

3 weeks PO tomorrow and I have to start something! I finally feel like I am recovered enough to start the treadmill and some light weights. Dr says not to lift more than 10 pounds for 4 weeks. I really thought I would have started exercising sooner but my recovery period was a bit rough. I had a hernia repaired during the lap band surgery and that really took it out of me! I can finally breathe! Tomorrow I hit the treadmill...no more excuses
