What a great moment. So happy for you. May your progress continue.

I was banded on 7/1. It took at least 3 weeks to sleep well (pain meds of course). This to shall pass. I recommend staying in a very cold room. That worked for me. Just relax and little by little it will get better.
I still have port pain & my dr said it will take at least another 2-3 months of port moments.
Good luck and congratulations

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'm getting to the frustrated phase wondering if I'm eating a quarter of what I used to eat and feel a lot better then why doesn't the scale show. Today I reminded myself of a comment made by a person on this board "it took a while to put it on, a while longer to take it off". But hey, I'm human & I want to shout sometimes. Then I go to this board to calm down. Thanks guys

I love the lasagna cup: fat free ricotta, 3 turkey meatballs, skim milk mozzerella cheese, a little Pasta Sauce, 2 minutes in the microwave and víola: awesome!!! Oh, hungry girl recipes are next on my list.

Thanks for sharing. I am getting some great ideas. I did notice that when I went from 800 to 1000 calories, it jumped started me again. After 1 month I'm down 20lbs. Thank you God.

While @ universal Orlando I went on the Jurassic park ride 3x's and my ovaries were in my throat. I feel your pain. If it persists call dr. That happened to my ex & it wasn't good. But have faith.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Congratulations. May your path be fast & easy.

I ran out of cottage cheese but used fat free ricotta, very very good. Thanks for sharing

Great job. Even though you don't feel it you probably look it. But don't worry about the outside as long as the inside is positive. You look to be a beautiful & smart young lady & if people can't see that, that's their loss. You start school thinking about how much fun your going to have, think positive and good things will come. Keep up the good work.

My marti has been a blessing. She never leaves my side and dale makes me laugh when I need it most. They complete me.

That reminds me o a line from steal magnolias, "I haven't left the house since I was 14 without Lycra on my thighs". Ha ha I never leave to work without one.

Oh no, take it easy. Feel better.

My daughter said that to me (13 year old) but it was really fear talking. Men sometimes, don't know how to say the right thing. Remember you made the decision, your a mom and you can do this!!!! Every pound you loose is an accomplishment that YOU did alone. You go girl!!!!! You've always got friends that understand. Next time let him talk to your backside

One step at a time and breathe. My daughter was angry at me for the wls but now that she sees that I'm loosing weight and happy, she's coming along. Maybe hubby (men can act like kids) is just worried. When I feel I'm loosing it, I rush to lapband talk for comfort. Keep up good work.

Congratulations

Listen to your body. I was banded on the first but I'm still tired. I have a conference in NYC tomorrow but I'm rescheduling, no way can I get on a bus and walk ny streets.

I never noticed till my surgery on Monday how many food commercials there are on tv? It's a cruel joke. I'm starving but trying very hard to stay on course.

I was also banded on the first. Happy Independence Day to you all. I was discharged this morning (breathing complications) but no real pain. So happy about that, I've been walking a little bit of Jello, broth & ice pops. So excited but must still rest. Good luck to us all.
