I got my band today (: at around 3. !!!! ! I'm feeling good. Hardy any pain. Except in incision areas. Just soreness!!!. But I'm so happy to finally have this done! !!! I am waiting patiently for day 9 lol I want mushy! !!!!!

I had to take Prilosec for awhile. Ask your doc. Mine gave me and rx so my insurance would pay for it.

Surgery at 730am home by 1030Am. Pain not that bad. Taking my meds. Walking every hr few laps around my apartment. Using gas x strips and icyhot heatg pad on my left shoulder. All in all okay. Super hungry. But feeling very optimistic

Yeah I'm still swollen also. I haven't weighed myself yet lol. Don't want to get upset if its not a smaller number so I keep myself off the scale. But I will probably weigh once a week

I had no desire to eat for days. I was coming up on a week before I even felt any type of hunger at all. I had to make myself drink my shakes. But after a week or so, my appetite came back. Then I was hungry every 3 hours until I got my fill 3 weeks later. Now it takes me about 4.5 hours to feel hungry after a meal.

My folks said no fruit in the shakes. Make sugar free Jello the Protein powder. Works well

And drink up today!

You should really see some calorie burn now. You'll find that not weighing everyday is very liberating. And the reward when you get on the scale only at the doctor's office is that it is usually a large chunk of weight.

That's great (: mine is the 9th!!!!!

Hi guys, I just became active here because my surgery is next week--the 11th--and I am on day 4 of the pre op. I finally decided to start focusing on what is about to happen! Let's stick together!

That is great progression! Dont get down about it. Remember, you didnt gain that weight over night and you wont lose it over night (:

I agree (:

Ten pounds the first month is fantastic! Keep following the protocol and you will see steady and consistent weight loss. I promise! Stop weighing daily. It's going to drive you crazy.

Amen to that chick! It's nice to have outside support but from a co-bander So glad our surgery's are so close. Glad to have found this site and found a friend

As you know I just finished day 11. Lol thank the lord I'm close! I honestly am so happy I met you on here and we can relate!!! It makes it easier. Cuz I can count. On your words of encouragement (:

My advice....... QUIT WEIGHING every day or even every week. After 53 years, I finally learned to let go of that scale. Just live the banded life and hop on the scale every three to four weeks. You will see a loss. Look at your topic title........ "Slow PROGRESS...... I have only lost TEN POUNDS." I'd take TEN POUNDS in FOUR WEEKS....... I'd be happy with TEN POUNDS in FOUR WEEKS. Some weigh-ins, I lost FOUR POUNDS in TEN WEEKS...... But, the way I saw it..... I was making PROGRESS. You will too. You will too. You will too !!!!!!!!!!! It's only been four weeks, Keeper.
