Audra pink is your color, you look good. You've done well with your weight loss. I'm glad you had a good time at your reunion. Roberta

Hey Alison, I'm glad you measured yourself. We all need to see something tangible for our hard work. Hang in there!!! One question though, are you getting enough Protein? That will effect the scale showing weight loss. Keep up your hard work eventually the pounds will come off especially since you are getting fills. I get my first fill this Thursday and I hope I can lose 10 more pounds before July 13th. Roberta

A definite difference. You look good. Roberta

Pfunkem you rule!!!!!!! I'm going away this week and hope I can be that good. Congratulations on being able to have a good time, and yet paying attention to what you are putting in your mouth. Roberta

Vicki that is fantastic!!! I am so happy for you. Roberta

Eleebana2, thanks for sharing that personal information. You really are inspiring, especially for one who is just starting down this road. Roberta

Kay Lehr congratulations on your decision to start "living". I wish you much success in your weight loss journey. I'll be sixty July 14th, and wish I'd known about this sooner. For me... this has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Roberta

Fantastic weight loss!!! When were you banded? Roberta

Hi all. I'm back from my trip to Maine and am down another 3 lbs. I am due to get my first fill on Thursday but am having second thoughts. We are leaving Monday to visit some friends in Wisconsin. I don't want to be miserable my whole visit with the food issue as to what I can eat. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Congratulations to all you big losers (35 lbs) and LapBandit, 56 lbs loss is unbelievable. I can't believe that you are not happy with your loss. I wish it were me!!! To the rest of us slower losers, keep up the good work!!!!!! Roberta

That was was my thought also; but since he is my surgeon and just in case I run into any problems down the line, I don't want any "non compliant" issues. Thanks for your reply. Roberta

I also had that problem. I use glycerin supp. also with limited relief. My doctor told me NOT to use Benefiber because it would block the stoma. My surgeon recommended Senokot. I took 3 pills and I was good to go.....if you get my drift :-) I hope this works for you. To me there is no worse feeling in the world than constipation. As Alexandra said, you really don't have much to poop about when your on liquids.... Okay am stopping before I get slapped. Roberta

That is exactly what I said to Dody, and why I'm astounded when some people here say their doctor doesn't require testing as a prerequisite to Banding. We wish you well Dody!! Roberta

Have a good vacation Eva. Wendy: With Lapband surgery the weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week, so you are pretty much where you should be with your 4 lb loss. Remember this is supposed to be a slow process, not like GB surgery. Congratulations on your great weight loss.

Fiona, does having a fill require you not flying for a certain amount of time? I am scheduled for a fill on the 8th and have a flight on 6/12. I want to know if I have to cancel my fill since I already paid for my tickets. How are you doing since your fill, can you tell the difference? Roberta

Hi Susan, unfortunately I can eat anything even bread, and can drink anything cold. I hope my fill next month will put an end to my ability to eat too much food. Roberta

Awesome.... you can definitely see the difference!!!! well done. Roberta

I was on mushies by my second afternoon post-op. By my second week out I was tired of eating the same things everyday. When I went for my post-op exam I spoke to my doctor and he told me to hold on for another 2 weeks. His fear was that I might have a pb. Not about breaking my stitches. I suggest you call your doctor. He/she may advance you to mushies. I know I could never have lasted 4 weeks on liquids. But..... it does help with your weight loss if you hang tough. Roberta

Hi Fiona, I've missed you. Congratulations on moving to your new home. I think it's wise to put the scale away, it can put too much pressure on you. Going to see a nutritionist is a smart move. We have had a lot of rain here, but it is a nice day here in New York. Take good care of yourself Fiona, and mention that lump in your throat when you see your doctor. Let us know what he has to say.

Welcome to Bandland MJK. Savor that full feeling, that is due to swelling and does not last. Take advantage of this time to do some walking which will help with your recovery and weight loss. I like the Isopure clear Protein because you get 40 grams of protein and it goes down easy if your swollen. I wish you well on your journey. Roberta

Just a thought maybe you can check CBS or NBC news on line Can't remember which station the news report was on. They mentioned there was a problem found with some drinks that contain ascorbic acid when exposed to light. It can change to some form of Benzine. I didn't listen too closely so I can't give you any more info than that. Hopefully you can find something on their websites. It seems everyday they tell us something else that is harmful to us, and next week it will be perfectly fine. Go figure. Roberta

Work it girl, work it!!! Now THAT"S what I call an NSV!!!! Roberta

Hey Eva, your English is excellent and we understand you just fine. Yes... we want to get rid of that dreaded "X" !!!!!!! Roberta

It is so easy to become obsessed with the scale. We have to remember that we really aren't supposed to lose weight UNTIL we get the PROPER restriction. Which means we MAY not get that restriction until fill # 2 or 3. I know I'm frustrated too, I want this weight off NOW, I don't want to wait another day, not another minute!!!!! Some of you guys have really done well with your loss so far, and have kept it off. Congratulations. For the rest of us we just have to hang tough, once we are able to exercise and have some restriction we should see major progress. Even if we haven't loss as much as we would like, it's still more than we would have loss without the band. Be happy about what you have loss. Congratulations to all the April 2006 Bandits!!! Roberta

I loss 3 more pounds during the week and have held on to them!! Roberta
