I feel pretty good about making it through my cookout without hurting myself or feeling like I was under a microscope. Hope everyone else was as successful as I feel! And that everyone had a fun and safe one!

Anyone in the murray/calloway area?

Congrats and welcome to the banded side! Just remember to follow Dr's orders and take baby steps! Enjoy your new life and keep us posted on ur journey.

My surgery totally messed up my periods sweetie. I had 2 in the same month right afterwards. It's just your body adjusting to everything and the weight loss. You should be ok but if it doesn't level out in the next couple months you may wanna talk to ur Dr.

1st support group meeting so excited to see others journeys!

So I go today I need details...how bad was it? Do I need to do anything before hand like eating wise? I hate needles and I'm nervous as hell but an adjustment every once in awhile beats the alternative.

Np sweetie enjoy your vacation!

One glass shouldn't hurt you according to my doctor just drink slowly and take it easy but either before or after dinner not with.

Productive burping....its where something doesn't go down right or it gets stuck and comes back up.

Trust me I know about those bad days. When I started mushies I gained a couple of pounds and I cried the whole day so yesterday when I weighed after starting regular diet I had my eyes closed for a minute it two. The hungry feeling comes and goes just hang In there. Your on the right track already. One day at a time. Keep me posted and good luck!

So I am almost 5 weeks post op and I feel really good. I'm down 28 lbs since pre-op and I did a little dance today! I have experienced my first P.B.ing yesterday and oh dear God did that suck! It happened again today but I was able to handle it better than yesterday. Really trying to avoid that at all costs. Next app is July 18th and as long as I'm still eating right and losing they said I won't have to have a fill. Some days are bad days but now that I'm back on regular diet its getting better. I really hope everyone is doing well and they are loving having this tool as much as I am!

Welcome to the Banded lifestyle. Everyday is a different journey just listen to your doctor and take things slow. I'm one month out today and I feel better and better everyday. Congrats and enjoy your journey!

I had the same situation. My Dr just said as its comfortable with it. He's actually the one that started the conversation. Guess a lot of his patients were asking lol.

I had eggs and one slice of turkey Bacon for breakfast and half a piece of grilled chicken with 1/4 cup of rice for lunch. Nothing crazy still taking it easy on things but just everything running straight through it seems.

So I'm one month out today and started back on regular diet. My question is everything I eat is running right through me is this normal?

Welcome to the Banded side...eveyday is a different journey...follow doctors orders and take things slow....congrats on ur new life!

So my fiance has been so supportive with me throughout this whole thing...but lately his eating habits are off the charts its like he's trying to pick up my slack or something. (Like right now its also 11:30 pm and he's eating 3 hot dogs COVERED in mayo)...everytime I call anything to his attention he's all "ok mom" or "anything else you wanna nag about?"....so FRUSTRATED right now and not sure what to do! Any suggestions? Thanks for letting me rant.

I looked it up and pb means productive burp....enquiring minds!!

How long before anyone was ready to have sex? And was it uncomfortable? My Dr. just said whenever you are ready....just curious???

I was sleeping on my belly the night after surgery also....Dr said just whenever your comfortable sweetie!

Hold in there and take it one day at a time...everyone is different and you will do things totally different than your brother! Keep us posted on your progress and remember to follow doctors orders. Enjoy your new journey and welcome!!

I am 10 days outta surgery and since then I've lost 8 lbs...for a total of 18 lbs (with pre-op) which is about 12% of my body fat.....my question is is it too soon to start seeing changes in my bodily appearrance? I was looking in a full length mirror today and things looks different is this just wishful thinking or is anyone else noticing some changes also?

Well I'm 1 week out today and feeling better everyday. Still not sleeping through the night and I've tried everything! I'm a natural belly sleeper and now that I can sleep on my belly its better but still wake up several times during the night....I can say that the eggs I had for breakfast were amazing and I don't like eggs very much lol...now that I'm on blended foods I have more energy and have to remind myself not to over do it! Hope everyone else is doing well also Keep on Keeping on and keep up the good work!!

I'm in the same boat...smells are killing me! I can't be in the same room while my family eats. I to got on the scale (a 5 letter word I don't like using!) today and have lost 6 lbs...kind of put it all in perspective for me HERE WE GO!!!
