Ladies, i am in the knee high boots! I am wearing a size 16 from a 22/24 in 6weeks!

Thanks, this support group is crucial to me. So glad to be back on track

Week 5. I had to count it up cause i thought i was at week 6. I tell you old habits die hard but my band is definitely the tool i needed.

I had family visiting and i thought it would be ok to have a drink(rum punch). And the day before i ate some mac& cheese.....both of those turn out to be BAD idea's. I have been in the bathroom since 5am. My tummy is sore not to mention my bottom this the worst. I never want to feel this way again. For best results follow directions! No alcohol or food i shouldn't eat .

Thanks guys, I feel better now.

I am @ my 6th week. I can eat a little more and I have some soreness around the port area and a stitch hanging out.....should i be scared? No appts with doctor til Jan 10,2013. WWYD?

When I started losing weight my youngest daughter gave up fast food and soda. She has given me some of her old jeans to wear. By the way I am wearing a 16 vs 22-24. You might be the inspiration your daughter needs.

I was banded on the 7th of Nov and i have sharp pains when i move sometimes it usually gas.....

32lbs down. very exciting. my goal is 30 more by Jan 10. That's when i go for my first fill.

I didnt do too bad. i cheated twice the first wk

Even though i have lost weight without formal exercise. My 2 yr old grandchild keeps me moving. Some funny things are starting:one day i was walking and i could feel myself walking different, then i realized, my thighs were not rubbing...lol. Then while getting dressed for church i put on a suit that used to be really tight and my belly poked thru the button holes....lmao. when i put it on and looked in the mirror.... it looked like i had on someone elses clothes......

My insurance didn't cover the sleeve. The band is working fine for me and to be honest i need the discipline.

I would....lol

I cant cook right now in fear i might put something i shouldn't un my mouth. my husband is starting to slim slow.....lol

My family is amazed at the way i have to eat...lol they wsoting for Thanksgiving dinner and i cant drink a 4 oz glass of anything.

I got down more liquid today( day 7 for me) i did fill a little bloated. I got down about 6 ozs total.

I have only been able to have freeze pops/popsicles. Broth gave me gas. I am gonna have to wait another week for the shakes...too much gas!

I live in Michigan. The protein drink i have is called Rutein and my surgeon makes and sells it. The nervous feeling? I was so nervous but afterward i was glad and relieved. This surgery is definitely going to be my most valuable tool in keepung my weight down.

Banded Nov 7,2012. Feeling good except for gas and smoking temptation.
