OKOK, be nice! LOL Seriously, I've never lost weight before and I think this is like a dream come true and I think I'm going to blow it. Sorry. :cry Thanks for your input!

Thanks Staci you are right! Sheesh, I think what is bothering me is that when it was all done, the doctor told my dh that I had no abdominal muscles. He told my dh that without any abdominal muscles it would be very hard to lose weight. DUH, that is why I did this, I can't seem to lose even on 1500 calories! Well I think that he was being kind and letting my dh know that I need to really do a LOT of exercise, and I guess this is something I should know. Rambling... I'll just wait until my first appt. and discuss it then. Thanks again.

Hi y'all. I am thrilled I found this site. I tried to join a few days ago but it kept telling me that lapbandtalk.com did not exist. Well here it is. Anyway, I'm not sure I'm doing well! LOL. I've yet to fill full, and often I do feel hungry. I'm having shakes and a few other things that i blend with soy Protein. I am still swollen from the IV fluids. I've been getting up and walking around. I did a 12 minute walk after Breakfast, a 20 minute walk after lunch, and I guess now I'm going to 10 more minutes before laying down. My nose is very stuffy too... has made it very hard to sleep last night. I'm hoping tonight will be better. I think I'm also having nightmares from the pain meds, but I am still too sore to drop those. Any advice from you pros? Looking forward to getting to know y'all.
