Name: Erin Goal weight: 235 Weight as of March 1st: 243 Dietary goal as of March 31st: learn how to eat better with my band. Excerise goal for March: Go to fitness class 2x a week swim 2x a week and gym 2x a week! Date banded: feb 8 2013 Total weight lost: 23pounds(kinda slow) Good luck charm: not real sure! I don't believe in good or bad luck I believe in will power and Gods will!

The reason I posted this cause my husband has fears that I will leave him! I love my husband with all my heart he has been there for me when I have needed him and I have been there when he has needed me but our marriage has had some really really hard times!

Well studies show that most marriages fall apart after wls

How did your weight loss affect your marriage? Did you partner have trouble with it?

Did anybody else find that the 3rd day after surgery was the worse!

I to had surgery on feb 8th and I have lost 6 pounds and gained 2 in one day so your fine! My doctor told me that loseing right now is not the most important part healing! If you lose great the magic will happen! The way I see it this the lowest I have weighed in years so I see that as a victory!

My doctor told me to do prune juice but I can't keep it down it taste so nasty to me!

I had surgery feb 8th and I got to the gym last week! Tomorrow I start a work out class and I am nervous! Today was the first day I got all my water in! But has any body else had bowel movement problems?

I just purchased on from walmart more 10 dollars and it works perfect! Like my mom said cheap doesn't always mean bad it has worked perfectly!

walk walk walk it helps the gas pains

4 weeks I would die 2 weeks is long enough!

You know I never thought about this until reading this post! I have a lot of wants for when I get smaller! By cloths that don't say plus on them! Go on a trip to a amusement park and ride and ride and ride some more! But most importantly feel good in my own skin!

2 weeks is up THANK GOD!

I am two weeks post op and have lost 6 pounds I lost 18 on my one week pre op!

@nursekelly I had a full blown panic attack shortly after I woke up from surgery! I found it hard to breath for like 2 or 3 days!

I was wondering if any of you eat mac and cheese

What did you eat during this time?

Erin I was banded on feb 8 and I have not experienced any dizzeness but I will tell you I did feel my blood sugar was low a time or two but that was my fault completly! Trust me when I say all this is a learning experience! Each person is different and so is how the band works for each one of us! I am still in the healing process but dropping the pounds stopped when my calories were down to 500! I have been working really hard to get my calories up to 800! Each one of my protien shakes has 120 calories and I drink one for breakfast and one for lunch (still on the prueed stage) and I eat my protien like tuna salad for dinner! I drink water all day long but I am still finding getting all the water they want me to get in pretty hard! Go to u tube they have a lot of info this site is amazing and just google the lapband diet!

I am newly banded but that was on my no list

roflmfao! I have not been banded that long at all but I say its the dog!

Leslie I didn't know that! Thankyou! It does explain a lot!

Well I can honestly say its been an emontional couple days! I was banded 2/8! So far so good except I had fluid coming from my port site the other night turns out it was nothing except sercum fluid thank goodness! Still real itchy mainly due to I am allergic to every thing that gets stuck to my belly that has addesive on it! I have lose 3 pound since surgery which was only 11 days ago so heck yeah! I am already starting to excerise a little not to much really! I can't go back to work for another 3 weeks which I don't like mainly cause I am bored out of my mind! I have started on some craft projects and they are all but finished does anybody have any ideas on how to keep the boredom away! I can't return to work due to at my job I lift all day!

Lol men you made me smile!

Thank you all! Much love (hugs) to all

I am trying not to freak! I guess my biggest fear is that my port and my hose has came apart and the liquid coming out is what little fluid I had in my band!
