WAY TO GO!!!!! Keep up the good work!!:thumbup:

well here is my monthly update... 2 months out.... i will try to get some body pics updated... but here are the head shots at least... Everybody is doing such a great job!! Keep up the good work!

I had the same thing happen to me.. i haven't had a period on my own in forever and the say after surgery i spotted for like 3 days then had a full blown period for about 10 days.. it was horrible! good .. lol but horrible... i talked to my doctor about it and he told me that the anestisia can make that happen alot.. so i am assuming that is what it was.. b/c i didn't get anything in june... so hopefully that kinda of answered your question...

So weird how each dr is different... i used a straw at the hospital and i have used one every day since.. i have had no problems.. i have very sensative teeth so i hate not using a straw... hmm.. to each their own i suppose but best adivse is to do whatever your dr tell you to do... To me that is the most important rule of all!:biggrin:

hey everybody!! Mine is myspace.com/lucy200683 i always welcome new friends and look forward to getting to know all of you better!! just say ur from LBT and i will add you as a friend!

Great Job!! Keep up the good work!!

You are doing awesome my shrinko de mayo buddy!! I had my first fill yesterday and am feeling so far so good... and BTW the fills are not nearly as scary as most people make them out to be.. i didn't even feel it!!! Keep up the good work and remember we are workin towards restriction! :thumbup:

I know it isn't much.. but i am one month out.. these are just head shots b/c that is really all you can tell so far... I am down 29lbs and 6 inches from my body so far... i hope this works!

i know i am only newly banded.. BUT.. one of my BF and both my mother in law and father in law.. all had the bypass and i will tell you from first hand they get sick WAY more than any banded person i know... i understand things don't get stuck with the bypass but if u eat anything that ur new stomach doesn't agree with it will come back up... my FIL can't eat hardly any meat... and my BF can't touch any sugars... i don't know about you but i enjoy being in control of my body.. at least with the band i am in control and if i want to eat a piece of cake at a wedding or birthday party i can.... i just know that i must be responsible for all my choices and make up for it through the rest of the day... Good luck on your decision!

i am going in for my first fill in a week and a half... thanks for the video.. that kinda put my mind at ease!

So i made this for dinner for my dh and about 5 of my close friends the other night.. i was a little worried b/c even i hadn't ever tasted it... BUT... i have to tell you it was a HIT!! everybody loved it... my hubby said it was ok.. b/c he knew there was squash in it.. but that didn't stop him from getting seconds!!:behindsofa: Thanks so much for this awesome recipe!

i just tried this today and OMG SOO yummy and filling... and EASY! Thanks so much!!

Both of them are correct.. i walked ALOT and i used teh GAs x strips and i was feeling alot better after about 3 days....

i too am at that stage.. i am almost 2 weeks post op and i sometimes worry that i am eating too much b/c i am eating more then i was the first week.... but then i stop and realize how much i am really eating compared to what i was before and realize it is probably ok. As soon as i got on mushies i think i went a lil crazy.. i was so tired of broth.. lol now I am just trying to stick to my portion size better.. even with my little crazy stent i didn't gain any of my weight back so i think it is ok. Hope we can all just make it until we get our fill! Good luck everybody!

just a funny tid bit.... that it is too cold to swim in PA but we are roasting down here in Texas!! lol crazy crazy crazy...:w00t:
