I want to see my scale move too but it is only ounces I am losing. It is so frustrating. I am starting the gym next week finally. They walking just is not doing it.

I do not feel any restricting from my fill either my band can hold 14cc and i only have 4 in there. I hungrier now so I am scared i might not lose the weight I want to this month. I go back next week to check in maybe another fill I hope so.

I had my first fill today not bad at all. I was scared too but no biggie. They put in 4cc.

How are you doing now???? I am feeling so much better. 4Weeks post op and get my first fill next week. I am starting to get excited.

I started my Vitamins right after surgery. I am really tired too. I am almost 5 weeks out I have my first fill next Wednesday.

How is everyone doing after surgey? I am almost 4 weeks out and feeling great.

I also have PCOS and have gained 60 lbs in the last 7 years. I was starting to feel ashamed and frustrated about the whole thing. I was banded on 8/1/13 and have lost 16lbs and am on the road to losing. I have my first fill in 2 weeks and am excited for that so I can start eating real foods.

I took a week off but then had complications so I should have took 2 weeks off. Nothing major just minor things.

Ha ha I can not wait to eat. You get so sick of protien shakes and yogurt. I wish I could have cottage cheese it would be a great change.

I can not beleive you are already are eating normal food. I have 6 weeks of protien shakes, milk, yogurt, Jello, and puddings. I can do a yogurt and a protien shake and maybe a glass of milk a day. I was banded on 8/1/13. It is hard for me to get in all my protien and Water.< /p>

I am 21 days out and I can only get a protien shake and two yougurts in a day I am trying to get my 60 grams of protien but it is hard. I can not drink 64 oz of Water I feel like I will be floating away.

They filled your port when you had surgery? They will not fill anything in my port for 6 weeks.

I was banded on the 1st and so far I have lost 16 lbs. I think that is pretty good for a person my size. It all depends on how much weight you have to lose. How much have you lost? What have you been eating? Are you eating things with too much salt?

I have a little infection. Thanks all!

I am 10 data post op. I was laying in bed and felt wetness coming from my port site and then it was ozzing what looks like watery Fluid. Has this happened to anyone??????

What does your post op diet consist of?

How is it going????

I have had some slight setbacks I had a trip to the ER. I all good now though. Went to my follow up today everything looks good.

Good luck tomorrow!!

I would like the blog app to.

I have been drinking the Slimfast low carb 20 grams of Protein Shakes. But they only have chocolate and vanilla. I have been eating yogurt and Jello. I am not even hungry that us what scares me because they want me to eat 60 grams if Protein but it is hard right now. Be sure you do not over do the walking after surgery I was in a lot if pain today because of it.

I am 2 days post op and sore but feeling good. All I can say is walk and take your gas x.

This is my first surgery too. That is why I am nervous. I know I can do it though. All they keep on telling me is walk so that you heal faster.

I am on clear liquid for 5 days. I started it on Saturday. They first day was the worst. I am doing good though. Three more days.
