  1. 3/20- 187 Goal for next Dr appt for 1st fill on 4/22- 175
  2. Sorry you don't feel well but big congrats on the loss
  3. I understand about scale obsession. Before I went to the mid I weighed myself completely naked. So my number was different that what she had. I realize the weight will fluctuate as the diet changes. I just have to stay diligent and track everything.
  4. first pre op visit after lap band surgery. The doctor gave me the OK exercise on the treadmill and I can ride a stationary bike. I'm so excited that means I get to go to spin class. He said I could advance my diet and start having protein shake and yogurt and fruit yay me so excited. I lost 19 pounds

  6. I'm sorry. I wish you the best. It will be ok. Don't give up.
  7. My doctor requires 1 week of clear liquid. 2-3 full 3-6 puree and after 1st fill in 6wks I can do soft. My week will be up Thursday after my Dr appt. I can't wait to add some variety. I'm going to plan me a menu weekly and place on fridge so I can keep my self accountable. I love cream of wheat so I will take that for breakfast,soup for lunch and yogurts for dinner. I'm ready.
  8. Well I'm going to listen. But it sucks. Welcome to band hell
  9. I'm post op day 5 with hernia repair. I packed my gym bag so I could get on treadmill after work. I called the Dr office just to make sure and was told don't try it. I have to wait 6 wks. It that funny. Before the band I had little to no motivation to work out and now that I'm ready I can't go. Did anyone else have this same restrictions?
  10. Great job. That deserves a happy dance

  13. Where I work is huge so I make myself get up and walk,walk and walk. I called the dr office and asked if I could wear something around my waist to hold it all together. Lol. Every time I sneeze and cough I'm holding everything in place. I realize that tonight when I get home I will be pooped. Pressing forward.
  14. Post op day 4. Back at work . I think I should have stayed at home. What tops it off my menstrual cycle started yesterday and I'm miserable. I'm having back pains and can't sit for long periods. Just not comfortable and so not interested in drinking or eating
  15. Congrats on your bans. I'm post op day 3. I shave not has any cravings at all. I'm too scared to cheat because I don't wanna vomit. I've seen a lot of people automatically go to full liquid and eat yogurts and smoothies and shakes. I suggest following the diet of the Dr you have. I will admit broth and jello Popsicles are not my idea of food but success comes thru sacrifice.
  16. I have some collar bone gas also. I am clear liquids for a week. I can't start eating yogurts and shakes until week 2. I'm going to go and get liquid Tylenol and more gas x. I think re other pain reliever is wrong. I went had pedicure and that beating from the massage chair felt so good and helped loosen some of it
  17. What do you guys recommend for constipation?
  18. Thanks Amy. I wish I had a recliner. I'm trying to manage without the pain meds. I've only taken it 3 times. I just hope I'm better to go back to work on Monday
  19. I was banded on 3/13. Is anyone having trouble sleeping in their bed. I was so uncomfortable last night in my bed due to gad and discomfort. I've been walking and trying to move around. My stomach ares and left boob hurts.ive tried putting heating pad on my back. What can I do? I want to lay down but I feel like I'm pulling something when I get up.

  21. I'm up moving around. Doing a little at a time. Really trying to get fluids down. I'm struggling. This gas pain is something else.
  22. I meant support. Drugs talking
