October 3,2012 and down 45lbs. Feeling like it should be more???­

Congrats!!!!! You look marvelous!! In down 40lbs in 3 months. But I can't seem to really tell. My clothes always were 2 sizes too big and dumpy!! Lol. Other people have mentioned it but I can't see it yet!! Keep up the great work!!!

Surg oct 8th and down a total of 37lbs including preop. I am feeling a bit discouraged and not feeling like I'm doing a good job. Due for second fill feb 5th. Still hungry just not succumbing to the desires.....

Actually I was banded this year 2012.

Starting weight 272 Date banded 10/8/2011 Current weight 239 Weight lost 33lbs

That's where I am right now. I had to leave work last night because I was in so much pain. I do want to have a baby in the next year but I think I need to get on something in the interim

It's fine to take the active pills. I'm not in any BC right now. But I might be making a call to my gyn tomorrow!!!!

I'm just soooo nauseated. The thought if food makes me sick. I even had dry heaves today. I feel miserable.

Does anyone's band get tight when their cycle comes??? I will be banded one month as of this Thursday so this is my first cycle with it. Since it started, I have been nauseated, dry heaving and unable to eat anything. No problems before now. Anyone else experience this???

Can you tell me a little more about it??? Is there a specific amount of cranberry and lemon you use? I just found the tea on GNC website. What do you use???

I am post op day 17 and I wanna jump off a bridge. I can't explain what's wrong but I have been so teary eyed and irritable. I wanna snap someone's neck. I'm no where near my cycle so I don't know what's wrong. I hate feeling this way. Im usually an energetic and bubbly person. Now i am a Debbie downer. Please help

Yeah. I never had any written test either, just 2 appointments with the psych doc.

I know all too well about shelf butt. I definitely can not wait until mine is gone. I used to have tank ass but then it developed into shelf butt. Oh how I long for tank ass days again.....

Another RN here. Surgery 10/8. Back at work 10/16. I haven't been positioning too many patients and I keep bumping my port incision against the bed rails because I'm short. Otherwise I feel great!!!!

I am post op day 1. I was able to go home day of surgery. I am very sore today. I have only experiences one episode of the shoulder gas pain. I got up and walked around my living room several times and it dissipated. I can not lay down comfortably. So I slept on the couch sitting upright last night. Trying to sip sip and sip. I'm so afraid of getting nauseated but I haven't been yet. My abdominal binder and pillow are very helpful. I'm definitely ready to get back to normal but I am doing pretty good I think!!!

My surgeon put me on a medication preop and for the next 9 months called Ursodiol. This medication helps to prevent gallstones in people who have rapid weight loss. He told me that it is so common that he has started to take measures to prevent that. And my surgeon is from the good ole U S of A!!!!

I'm doing so great everyone!! I'm having minimal pain. Sore sore and sore but so very happy. Waiting for my discharge papers!!!!

I'm out of surgery and feeling great!!!!

Thanks!!! And I know he is.

Tomorrow is my big day!!!! I'm pretty calm right now. I'm very excited!!!

Don't leave me out guys!!!!!! I'm at 9 am!!!! Please check on me as I will check on you guys

We need to keep in touch because our day is swiftly approaching. I need a few band buddies!!! Even if we have to exchange cell numbers. I'm that serious!!!!

Sooooo, I finally broke down and told my BF. He is behind me 100% because I told him this is something I really needed and wanted. Yes he was upset that I waited 4 days before surgery but he is okay now. I feel so much better and that has gotten rid of a lot of my anxiety. Thank you guys for the online support. Even though you can't see this but I love you David!!!!!
