    1st Fill - Liquids for 2 Weeks!!!!!!

    I with you on the way the band works, I however, rushed into scrambled eggs in the very beginning (2days after banding) and I had problems and was rehospitalized. I stayed on loose mushies for 2 weeks and had realized a significant weight loss. My comment to Dave was merely me being nosligic about the rapid weight loss and those darn eggs. Thanks for clarifing my points for a newbie that may have taken it the wrong way. Debby

    Dave don't rush the mushies, It's not pretty. Hold out for as long as you can stand it.
  5. Thanks guys for the warm welcome, I feel like I have an opportunity to get to know a whole new crowd. My md's appt is at 10am tomorrow and I have the last supper mentality going on this afternoon but soon enough I'll be jolted back towards the right track.

    I'm Back and Humbled

    5/2/07 I cannot do this alone. So why do I continously try. I am taking charge today and have recommitted myself to this cause!!!! I need serious support. So talking out loud is my first step. I'm going to the doctor for a fill tomorrow, the first appt in over a year.

    How do I....

    I usually put it into lamans terms: "I have a ring around my stomach. It changed the shape into a hourglass which allows me to feel full on a small amount of food. it was pretty low invasive and I was back running around in a few days." And if they still need more I usually add the fact I have all of my digestive system still intack, unchanged and functioning except for the shape thing. Good luck some people will never get it but this is for you not them.

    Question: Straws??

    I am a straw user. I am picky though - only fat straws will do.

    Hypothyroidism, anyone?

    Yup, count me in toooo! I've been on synthroid my whole life and there should not be any problems with this because we are not the malabsorption crowd. With the bypass and other types of surgery a close eye on levels would be needed.

    Banded 11 days ago...woohoo!

    Go slow and try not to go crazy with trying harder food or carbs. I went too fast and was rehospitalized because I was graviting toward the harder mushies too soon. PBing in the very beginning is not good. You need time to heal. good luck to you

    How to deal with misinformation?

    Cavete Emptor ( I think - buyer beware) I would hope the people looking for information on different surgeries are not solely depending on what people say on a message boards. Of course people are going to try and steer anyone into what they had done. Just like buying a car, or moving into a particular neighborhood etc. I have found this board to be wonderfully supportive and full of good information with an occassional, that's good to know but "not for me" feeling. This is such a personal decision. I hope people who are making a WLS Decision look at all infor out there and evaluate it by which it's coming. My roomie at the hospital chose the by pass because her husband didn't like the thought of a port in her abdomin. That sounded weel thought out to me. NOT! There are no free rides with any decision. There is hard work and dedication required. Research everything!

    Happy Birthday Dylansmom! (Kelly)

    Have a great day!!!!!! Enjoy
  20. Hi everyone, I'm excited, nervous and completely fed up with being overweight. I started the process last week with a surgical consultation and will be going for an endoscopy next week. I'm glad to see I'm not alone. Debby

    Starting the Process

    Wow, I just read through this thread and it's so amazing - how far have I come. I just had my first fill today and I'm down 27 since surgery 30 all tolled. I feel like a completely different person , mentally and physically. I have energy and am in a really great space right now. I don't think I'm a model bandster, I'm not making all good food choices but I am losing and I'm sure I'll need to focus on that in the coming months. I never would have envisioned this a few months ago. I am soooooo not a closet bandster - (except for work). I can't believe I went 180 degrees different than I orginally thought Thank you all for being a terrific support! Looking forward to Jonathan starting a new weight loss challenge and a summer of losing!!!!! Thanks again everyone
