i also get cold all the time.sometimes i have a chill go allover my body.

i go by consultation weight.during my six months dietian classes.so then i lost 40lbs before surgery.65lbs after so i add it all together.total104lbs in all.my starting weight was 324lbs.

hi i had my surgery on january 13th 09, so far i have lost 64lbs. after surgery.before surgery 40lbs. so that totals 104lbs so far, the begining i was 324lbs. sofar no complications.january is my one year mark.i could not be happier.cuople of months the doctor says i don,t need a fill.sometimes i lose 5lbs a month. so i think that is average.everytime i go to use the bathroom the scale just keep calling me so i have to answer,it seems so additive.

october is when i hit the 100lbs mark. but november i lost another 4lbs.from the begining i was 324lbs. lost 40lbs before surgery.an 64lbs after surgery.january 09 is my surgery date.o this january will be one year that i have been banded cannot wait to hit onderland..

i was worried about thanksgiving an being banded. but i love my band i ate a portion of everything. an did not gain an ounce.i did good i lost 4lbs.over the holiday weekend.

you go girl. keep on keeping on.dance the jitterbug for us.lol.

:thumbup:today i went in for my 8th fill.which is really suppose to be my 10th, but i did not get 2 fills due to weight loss.so today i weight in at 220lbs,i lost 4lbs this month. so that brings my total weight loss to 104lbs. i am so excited.cannot wait to get to onderland.my doctor put in 1/2cc so i can feel it tighten up.i am suppose to go back in january.i was worried about thanksgiving but that pass i only ate a small portion of everything.then i got on my bike after every portion an pedal like crazy. a little overkill but i was not gonna gain an ounce.it worked for me. my doctor is gonna be on a tevelision show on channel8 thats call connecticut style on dec,15or16. he told me after my fill so i am gonna be sure to watch.hope everyone is doing great on your journey in life. love ya (.:thumbup::sleep2::thumbup:sil)

Ditto to what KelinTx said an determination. knowing i am gonna make it to my onderland.

that,s just mean would it be possible for you to leave the room.when he comes over.or go for a walk.

i drink a whole lot of water,i thought i was gonna be hungry but i thank goodness i was not.i was on ensure for two weeks.i ounce 3 times a day. i lost 19lbs during two weeks post-op.wishing you the best tomorrow.

hi hope you feel better, do you have a recliner you can slept in at night. because i had the same problem after surgery.

i also had to cook family meal as i do every holiday. but this time i had the band. i was a little worried i was gonna go crazy. but thanks to my band.i hardly ate much. i did have a portion of everything.then i went to my bike an exercise.this time last year i was just starting out.i had lost 40lbs before my surgery an had to maintaine it through out the hoildays last year.i think i did good. looking at all that food. i love my band it rocks.

i was also worried this is my first thanksgiving being banded, i cooked all my dinner, had a small portion of everything,an i am ok.i was worried about restriction.but i still have some.the doctor office said i could come in early for a fill but i decline.i go in monday anyway,i am getting on my bike for tonight. hope everyone is having a nice thanksgiving.

this is also my first thanksgiving banded.just like nfl1 said i ate a little of everything. an boy it is good. just a spoonful.i am 10 months out i feel great but believe me i am on the bike right after my meal.no more for tonight. i have nip that in the bud.i am now getting on my stationary bike an ride like the wind. since october i have lost 100lbs an i feel great.hope everyone is having a wonderful thanksgiving.
