I was banded 4/1/08 and before that I had lost about 10 lbs. Since April 1, i am down 16.6 lbs...so if you add that to the 10 lbs before, that makes 26.6............now I started bikeriding...really enjoying that! Gail aka stormy

Thanks,,,going to send one out...rode again this morning in 95 degree temp...nearly 1/2 hour again!!! yippee...

Thanks for your quick reply. I am trying to figure out how to start a new thread as I need to ask a question. Can you help? I am sorta new here

I too have started the bike riding. I had my husband replace the tubes and i am happy to say I rode for about nearly 30 min this evening. It felt great! I started with 15 min. I really dont know how far i went, but I was just happy to ride. Not a fancy bike, just a plain ole one that I found at a next to new store for $20. I was banded 4/1/08 and so far have lost17 lbs...working on getting to onderland.........

I love this fish. I often will grill it with spray butter and lemon pepper. It is really good that way.

I was banded 4.1.08 and have lost 9.4 lbs. That doesnt seem like very much, although my clothes are getting looser. My first fill is scheduled for 5/8

could you please share the links to those websites? thanks

This is day 4 post surgey for me as I was banded 4/1. I feel the best I have felt so far, but still have the gas pains, and yes I am farting alot too. Not fun, but I want to get it out of my system. I added protein yesterday (liquid forms). Patiently waiting to not have gas anymore!

I too have the gas pains...I was banded 4.1.08 in Dallas. Walking doesnt seem to help, nor does the gasx strips that I have been using. Today the gas pains were like severe period cramps..does anyone have any other ideas that may help?

I was banded 4/1 and also have to use that spirometer. It is actually harder to breath into that thing than I thought it would be. I have had the gas pains through my shoulder. I hope tomorrow will be better. This is only day 2

Hi I just was banded 4/1 and still feel lots of gas pains in my shoulder. GASEX doenst seem to be helping. I have pain in my did when i get up and when i try and lay down. I walk around the house and got dressed today for the first time. I really hope I start to feel a bit more normal soon.

I got the magic bullet for Christmas in anticipation for my banding. I expect it will come in very handy. I was just banded 4/1

Dr Fox in Dallas will be my surgeon on Tuesday @ Medical Cities Hospital. I am taking the rest of teh week off @ work and Will be taking my pillow along!

I got the SF popsicles the other day. Liquid Tylenol is s great idea and I think the gasex as well. I take my own vitamins that I market and I do understand that I am not to mention that. But I have a powder multi to mix in things as well as a chewable calcium magnesium supplement. I have a list for my last run to the store before Tuesday: baby spoons, small 2 oz cups, brown sugar substitute. Does any one use that unjury unflavored protein? if so, how is it?

My girlfriend went to WEndys and got a chili, blended it up and said it was really good...she added a little water, but used it during the liquid (not clear stage). Does that make sense?
