I was banded February 3rd...by the looks of everyone you all are doing great!!! I wish I was doing as well...I have lost only 30lbs but the last two months I ahve started working out...I hope to lose 20 by the end of December....which would leave me 30lbs before reaching my goal...I have had 6 fills since then...(I am in Kuwait got my surgery done here) I know where I am lacking I drink many of my calories but reading about everyone else has got me motivated to do get back on track...

I thought I was crazy so I called to be sure...and yes they said 10 days of liquids..that is insane...!! My hair is falling out, I can sleep for weeks, I am taking a multivitamin, liquid iron, B6 and B12 and I am almost scared to eat something solid since I have no earthly idea what will happen! I am going to try something today maybe scrambled eggs and scrambled salmon and have small bites...I have only lost 13 lbs since being banded on the 3 of February and I just feel like I am failing somehow and I do not know how to jump start or start over...thanks for sharing your info with me and I look forward to any suggestions...I am gonna finish crying now...

I am 30 days Post Op I had 10 days of clear liquids, 10 days of full liquids, 10 days of mushy and on day 31 my first fill after my doctor filled me he said I had to go on 10 of full liquids...WT....!!! :cursing:I haven't had a decent meal in over a month!! :angry:Anyone else experienced something similiar...please help I am two minutes from driving to the nearest BURGER KING

Thank you for the birthday love!! I have decided to Celebrate it on March 7, exactly one month later...at least I will be on regular foods then...:smile: keep me updated on your progress!

Hello my fellow bandsters! I must admit after reading the postings, I am glad I started this thread you guys have been such a great support for me. :hurray: I went back to work on Monday and like many of you I AM EXHAUSTED!! I cried today because I WANT FOOD!!! :smile: I swear I just want something in my mouth just to chew....the belching is out of control and boy is it loud and embarassing. I still have the pain under my left breast and I spoke to my doctor. He said he had to place air in my body to lift the stomach and liver...he said it is taking time to readjust and get back in the same place... I am still on the Clear liquids until Saturday and THEN I go to full liquids for 10 days and THEN I go to mushy food and THEN I go regular food...my congratuations to those who are already on Protein shakes, mushy foods, etc... I envy you...the great thing so far is I have lost 7lbs but it is expected...all I have had is LIQUIDS!!! My friend recently gave me some "traveling jeans" that she bought before she had her lap band...a couple of months later...they were too big...she has given them to me and they are too small...I hope in a few months...I will be giving them to another bandster...let me know if you want them I will ship them to you and you can keep the tradition going...keep me updated on your progress...Be Blessed!

Thank you for the birthday shoutout! How are you feeling??? I must admit it is getting a little bit easier:tongue2:

Today is my birthday and I would love to have some chocolate cake...Lordy Lordy look whose 40:tongue2: However next year for the sweet 41 I know my celebration will be well worth it because I will fit into some skinny jeans..:cursing:
