Hi all I would like to be a part of this challenge too! it sounds exciting and just like something i was looking for Stephanie, I read in another post and here are my details: Current weight: 230 Goal weight: 138 Weekly cardio: 240 Weekly strenght training: 135

Thanks for the info Steph, I will look into the sites you have mentioned

I was banded on the 3rd of nov.. however i seem to not be losing weight at all! as u all can see from my signature i have lost only 1kg since.. the hospital where i got it from is not cooperating at all.. they dont help me with diet etc.. i have had one fill but i seem to be hungry and am usually able to eat quite a bit of food! i am panicking majorly and thought of getting some advice if anyone has any to offer! Thanks all

i have been experiencing extreme pain in my port area after i walk. this usually happens if i walk too fast on the treadmill.. if i keep it a bit slower its alrite.. i was banded on 3 nov n it has been a month since.. is this normal? shouldnt i be able to exercise normally now? i do not have any infection/redness etc and the wounds have been healing well.. so im a bit concerned.. is anyone else going through something similar?

congratulations steph! hope it all goes well.. keep us posted

Hey guys I am so glad you all are doing so well :eek: these stories we share makes our individual experiences so much better! All our experiences sound so much similar Today is my 10th day post op and i cant believe how much better i feel already! my stitches are still on.. they will be getting off on thursday so they itch a bit.. apart from that the pain is nearly gone now (just some discomfort) and nothing much else the only worry is my eating! there are times when i cant eat at all.. n others when i just wanna keep eating! i think its my head hunger playing in but i dont know how to differentiate between them.. sigh! also i tried walking on the treadmill today.. walked on for 15 mins but its made my stitches hurt! so i guess ill keep off of it and just walk normally

Good luck to you Stepahnie.. I hope it all goes well for you on thursday :eek:

hey i have noticed mine around the face n upper body too.. a little on the waist is beginning to show! i m just soo excited to see it fall off good luck to u too!

well i was much much better in the morning.. but around evening i noticed a bit of blood on one of my dressings n that scared me a bit.. however i ws told that might happen so im keeping my fingers crossed.. it hurts a bit tho but im trying to bear it! hopefully it shud go away.. my stitches get removed on sun so i hope i can hang on until then sorry for being so graphic but i felt like venting a bit!

thats great longhorn! im glad u had a nice day

thanks guys i ended up having some water n reading a book thank you so much for your help

i just had a huge absolutely huge fight with my bf! n now im craving chocolate:help: is there anyone here who goes thru cravings too?? what shud i do??

Hi all I am an australian who migrated to Kuwait a few months ago

congrats cota for ur surgery :clap2:and hope u have a speedy recovery as for me.. i feel great! i cant believe how much better i feel today than i did yesterday.. i just feel a pull in my stitches when i walk for a while.. but it goes away if i hold it tight.. although i m a bit sick of having liquids.. cant wait to begin mashed foods.. i cant remember ever being excited about having mashed foods

wow longhorn! that seems awfully hard! im sorry to hear u had such a bad day on ur first day at work! i cant imagine all that walking around! i hope it goes better for u today thanks for the myoplex tip edeva.. i dont like the shakes provided by the doc so i guess ill go back to myoplex! lots more Protein n tastes better too :Banane34: to give a quick update.. today is day 4.. pain is much lesser.. down to discomfort though it hurts like mad if i cough or sneeze! apart from that i am able to walk a bit without getting dizzy! n i notice that my old clothes r already loose on me now so thats a great incentive
