  1. It's nice knowing I am not the only one! The scale hasn't moved in a week, but I am finally feeling good enough to really start getting some good exercise in. So I hope my weekly weigh in on Friday I will see some progress.
  2. great job Texas Becky on your 21 days!!!
  3. At least they found the issue, now they can fix it Hang in there!
  4. I was banded what 11 days ago, and I am starving. I am having huge cravings and yes I have cheated from my diet even sigh . I know I want this, I know I need to lose weight, I know...but I am just so depressed right now. I have lost 10 pounds so far, which I think is great, but I am worried about gaining it back. How bad is it to eat real food now???
  5. I'm still in pain, yesterday was not a good day, but I am hoping today will be better. I feel so full all the time. Also my chest feels a bit tight sometimes. Gas pain's have gone away, my insiecions still hurt. I have been sleeping on my side through out the night, but it hurts too. LOL seems like most of the time I hurt Now my hubby is doing great! He went back to work on wed, and stopped the pain meds too. He is a tough cookie!
  6. I thought a long time about goals, and the number on the scale is important to me I wanted other goals too. So first goal is to drop enough to go down a size in pants, next one is to be able to *comfortable* cross my legs like a lady (LOL lady and me in the same sentience) and then lastly I would like to be small enough for my husband to let me sit on his shoulders (like at a rock concert).
  7. I was banned on the 31st, the last few days have been hard, but today seems to be much better.
  8. Thanks! We might just have to take you up on that Can you message me with the details? Thanks again
  9. Welp we did it! My husband and I were banned at the same time in Portland Oregon. We are a few days out and he is feeling great, I have found that the heating pad is my new best friend! I have to agree with most of the posts I have read on here. The worst pain is t he gas in the shoulder after surgery. Wanted to let everyone know how we are doing, hope you are all doing well yourselves!
