Hello Everyone How is everyone doing? I went to the Dr Friday and he said i'm right on track and doing great. I did get a little fill because your not suppose to be hungry and sometimes I would feel hungry and snack. So far this fill seems like its working and I don't get that hunger sensation. I'm so excited I went to the Goodwill store and bought jeans size 16!! THEY FIT!!!! I can tell you its been over 12 years since i've even tried that size on!! I always think of everyone and feel guilty that i'm not on more...sorry. I also slacked and never was added to the Facebook page. Big Hugs and keep dropping the weight to everyone!! I also see that people are joining for this years September...WOOHOO!!! Good luck and stay focused. Time does go by very fast so start getting prepared. What I did to prepare was cutting out pop, trying not to buy junk food, learning now what you can and can't eat, and start eating smaller portions

Carbonation is a no no because it can move the band. I got my first fill yesterday I was nervous to eat anything at first so I had cottage cheese and everything went well. For dinner had chicken, peas and 2 bites of mashed potatoes. Keep up the losing journey!!!

How is everyone doing? I have my first fill on Monday and i'm excited! I've been trying not to eat much but sometimes I feel like i've got to crunch something. It always happens when Aunt Flo visits. I try to drink and feel full that way but of course I have to get that crunch. So I have some granola. I'm proud of myself because I haven't had any candy its tough not to grab 1 or 2 of the mini snickers or a bite of a kit kat but i'm staying strong. I just take day by day

Mark i'm sorry that you had such a huge hump to get over but i'm glad that you never gave up faith. I'm doing a happy dance for you that your cancer free!!!! WOOHOO!!! YIPEE!!!! Its exciting and i'm excited for YOU!!!!

I saw the Dr today and lost 3 pounds!! At first I was upset that was it but then I thought HEY I lost 3 pounds and I didn't gain!!! I even told him at first I thought it would be more because i'm wearing pants that I haven't worn in about 3 years. He told me that its not about the number and that i'm doing terrific Next week they are gonna call me and schedule my first fill. He does that at the hospital for the first time and then after that its in the office. I can now eat food....its gonna be weird but I will remember to chew chew chew How are my losing buddies doing? I always think of everyone. For some reason my phone wasn't letting me reply but i've got a new phone and will be chatting more

NurseTab don't give up!! We all go through a stump in the road. It's not an easy road to losing weight. Keep moving! You will lose weight! You can do it!

Jess your in my prayers. Hope they find out quickly and your 100% very soon.

How is everyone doing? I'm doing terrific! I don't feel very hungry. I'm on the puree stage. I make sure I always have a water bottle with and get my protein in. Even my family has lost weight

I was banded 9/25 and i'm down 18 pounds

I had surgery on 9/25 and my weight was 244 and now i'm at 226!!!!

I haven't told anyone on my Facebook and do not want to either. Will they know that i'm in the group if I get added? I want to join but I am a little apprehensive because it has RNY with the page

I was told at least 30-45 minutes no drinking before or after

Aunt flow its gone for me I have gas but not stinky:) I burp a lot and loud TMI .....hahaha

I had lap band surgery

I can't believe a week ago I just had my lap band surgery. Time has gone by so fast. We don't have a scale in the house so I won't know how much weight i've lost since my surgery date. I've been busy and walk a lot. Today was the first day I went back to the gym and walked 2 and half miles

I didn't have to go see my obgyn. Not sure what or why they would want anything from them. Unless you haven't seen them in a few years. I would ask

You probably have to poop

Where did you stop to get one? Did you get up and down from a bunch of recliners? We have one that is electric and usually I don't use it but my family is so kind and not fighting to sit there but actually is letting me sit there.

I asked my Dr about sex and was told 4 weeks

For sleeping on your side put a pillow underneath your belly it helps a lot.

I'm thinking of our last September Member WOW this month went by so fast!!! Congrats to all of us sitting on the losers bench!!! Some of us have it easier and some it hasn't been so easy but no matter what we know that we are here for each other at anytime and that is so helpful during the procedures we've had. Its not always easy but we keep our heads up high and stay possitive because we know the outcome of our losing journey! Thank you for being honest, helpful and inspirational!!! My prayers and thoughts are with each and everyone of you

Thank you for your honesty and sharing your story. It reminds us all that this is work and never ends. We are a team and can be here for one another.

Ok I will.....thank you

Keep on your Drs office and insurance. Make sure the paperwork is in to the insurance company. Call them if you want an answer sooner
