  3. hi judy! got back on sunday nite. had a wonderful time. weather was great. it rained 1 day. i walked everyday.first vacation i ever took that i havent gaind weight. i think i even lost 1/2 lbs. but i have to watch how much i eat since i was filled. if i eat too much i throw up, so i have to be very careful. but thats okay i want to lose more weight, so i just need to listen to my body and eat less. cant wait to see you saturday val

  7. omg! when my doctor filled me he told me it could take up to 10 days to feel the restriction. about a wek later- wham! i can hardly eat much- and if i eat too much i get this awful pain and throw up almost immediately
  8. i plan on walking sat but it is supp to rain. i will be leaving for vacation after walking
  9. judy, since i had my fill im throwing up more. yesterday it was 3 times but only once today. i noticed if i eat the mushier foods i dont throw up, so either im eating too much or to fast or not chewing enough. im going to choose softer foods till i get back from vacation. im supp to go back in 6 weeks but try to get through to get an appt. i will walk on sat if it doesnt rain val
  10. judy, there is a walk friday 10/3 at delaware park- it is called light the night. any interest. it is for leukemia/lymphoma society. it is once around- so a short walk for us
  11. welcome jeremy. congrats on being banded. i was banded march 31st. ive lost about 30 lbs since then and have dropped 4 pant sizes. i am sure you will do well. is burlington anywhere near nashville. i have been there several times. val
  12. i can tell i have restriction. when dr hoffman filled me 8/26 he told me it could take up to 10 days to feel the restriction- boy do i feel it. i threw up once yesterday and twice today
  13. linda, actually i will be walking next week- i am leaving after hopefully( a hurricaine is supp heading towards the outer banks). my fill went well- didnt hurt a bit. dh stands for "dear husband" val
  14. i just had my first fill.my doctor numbed the area first and i didnt feel a thing. he filled 1.5 cc and i go back in 6 weeks.
  15. i believe the support group is the 3rd wed- i will try to be at the next one val
  16. the np told me liquids and d hoffman told me mushies. he filled it with 1.5cc. i feel okay but ive been on liquids and since i was working it was hard to get alot of liquids in. tonite im having soup- it seems to be going down okay
  17. if anyone is going to walk this saturday, let me know. i can walk but if no one else is going to be at the park i will prob walk on the amherst bike path (closer to home)
  18. the np said liquids and he said mushies- who knows? i stayed on liquids for yesterday and today- tomorrow will start on pureed. when i went for my appt yesterday they were so busy they couldnt give me my next appt and told me to call. it will be fun trying to get through!
  19. i think because initially there can be some swelling and they dont want anything to get stuck- because then i go to mushies and then soft
  20. China, hang in there. dont get frustrated because the process is long. sorry i havent called u- been crazy, but i do want to get together. i will pm u my number and give me a call because id love to get together and walk. i have to exercise everyday, its the way my metabolism is val
  21. Rain, I got my first fill today. the np told me i had to go back on liquids, but didnt say for how long. dr hoffman told me to go on pureed then soft. what were u told val
  22. i completed week 1 but my last workout was hard so im going to repeat week 1 again. im excited about this as i used to run track in high school. my goal is to run the turkey trot on thanksgiving
