Yes I am reviewing my calories i use the fitness pal, work out 3 times a week and my dr tells me i am suppose to intake 1000 calories per day and 40-60 grams of Protein a day. Now i still do not feel the restricton yet so I hope my second fill will help and i do only stick to the 1 cup food serving. I may need to change my workout

Thank you!!!!!!!

You're fine do what's comfortable.

Yeessss!!!!! Ok Thank you so much for replying. I was worried I was doing it to soon after my surgery because its only been 5 days since I got banded.

Good Evening

I am not the person who can sleep on their back and I am sooooo wanting to jus roll on my side. To be honest I am laying on my side with a pillow on my side and not having any pain but I do just want to make sure I will not mess up anything with my band by sleeping on my side. Please let me know??????

Thank you for any advice you can provide.

Good luck and everthing will be just fine. Make sure you follow the drs order and stay positive all the way and you will be great

Way to stay positive! Thats great that your not in any pain' date=' your on ur way to a changed life congrats and keep up the great work [/quote']

Thank you very much. I look at it if u think negative it will not happen so you just need to be positive and continue doing the right think and it will PAY OFF.

Good Morning All.

Hope all is having a great morning. I have am feeling good and would have to say I am so shocked I am not feeling as hungry as I thought I would so glad about that. When I do feel a little hungry I eat SF popsicle and drink a bottle of Water and I am fine.

Today I put my lil chunky monkey in her stroller (well my mom helped cuz i cant lift her) and we went walkin. We walked for almost an hour and didnt realize it but I felt good and no pain at all. So hopefully when I go for my wk follow up on Monday I would have lost a few pounds, but if not I will NOT let that discourage me in getting this weight off just means I will have to work a little harder.

Have a Blessed Day
