I had my 3rd fill yesterday, and it was liquids only day of fill, soft foods today and regular eating on Wednesday....It is amazing how different the doctors are when we all have the same equipment in! (LOL)

and I thought I was the only one!! too funny especially walking ROFL

I have to agree with A New Dawn. I just had my second fill, banded Nov 8 and it has taken me this long to really get it. If I eat when I am not focused on eating, I tend to eat too fast and take bites that are too large. I then get that pain in the center of my chest, fortunatley I have never thrown up yet! But it is so important to eat slowly, chew chew chew, and rest up to a minute between bites. It is a new life, it takes time to learn how to live it

Good luck

Me too! went to the dr yesterday for a blood pressure check, (still don't need to go back on meds) but the scale read 199! I haven't seen that in years! Good work megamomnj, my surgery was on 11/8, this is definatley the best decision I made

I also gained 3 lbs over Christmas, eating out and Cookies (my downfall). I had my first fill the beginning of Dec. and I am so hungry all the time. I have gotten rid of the Cookies as of last night and since I am finally back at work (I was off for 16 days!) I am getting back into a good routine.
Plus I got sick and have not been able to exercise. Hoping to go to the gym this weekend. I felll off the wagon but climbed back up and back on track!

hi
I was banded yesterday and stayed overnight. Came home a few hours ago. I have to say, I feel really good. Today was my first day of being able to drink stuff. I had the swallow test this morning and then was able to start drinking Water, then Ensure. I can't get over how good I feel. I have been walking 30 minute stretches 3-4 times a day. really excited!

HI
I am also the 8th....so excited Good luck

Finished shopping today for food, Vitamins, and prep, now just the waiting game til Thursday.

I have cleared all the hurdles, going for pre op stuff tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Nov 8. REally excited. My doctor just told us to follow a diet that worked for you, nothing special. I am nervous and so excited.....

Tommarrow I go in at 6:45 am and will be banded by 10:45. Nervous but excited at the same time.

I hear you, I am having surgery on the 8th, and until my date was set the only people that knew were my husband and my boss (we are very close-2 person office). Since I have my date, I have told my daughter (grown) and my parents. I dont' want to hear the stories, good and bad and don't need to hear other people's opionions. This is a private decision. Don't feel guilty about your decision.
