that is the best feeling in the world i know when i first heard someone say girl you is lossing that weight and asked what i was doing i felt like i had won the mego million.:tongue_smilie: also i was thinking about starting another weightloss challenge that will cover until valentinesday. what does everyone thing. is it some thing everyone would like to try again.

yes that is a great feeling. im getting excited wondering if i have lost or what. my mom says my face is smaller but, you know family will tell you things like that.:tongue_smilie:

hey veronica, 10lbs that is great i keep wondering what i have lost if any as i know i still have the gas in there some. but, yes girl the gas x does wonders please try it or beano. i was to working out and walking like hell at the gym i cant wait to get back there i feel lost. but, only gonna walk on the treadmill till the soreness is gone and the dr says i can go back to weights. if you dont mind me asking how much do you weigh.

hi pete, i go for my one wk. weigh in on tuesay. i have not bothered to get on the scale as i want to be suprised. i do wonder how much if any have i lost.

hi veronica you will have to let me know how your appointment went. i dont go for mine till tuesay. and are you taking gas x. it really has been a life saver for me. other than the walking, water and gas relief stuff i think its just a waiting game.

jewel41 i wanted to say a prayer for you and all the other people being banded today. heavenly father we come before you today and ask you to watch over all the people that are being band today and ask you to protect them while under and help them to recovery in good health and spirit. amen. love china

hi veronica, today was a better day im drinking alittle more trying to drink aleast every 2-3hrs. so its getting better as my throat is not as sore as before.:huh2:

ok thanks gone stick with it.

glad to see im not the only one having this problem. i really like the popsickles. did anyone else come home with a sore throat. mine is still sore. popsickles really help.:ohmy:

your human now brush ya shoulders off and think to ya self what was the reasons that you got the band and focus on that. get back on board you can do it. anita i want you to know how proud i am of you. for coming all this way and trust me i know its not easy. and for the weight you have lost. doesn't matter what happens in between just the end resuilt. so sit and figure out what you need to do maybe call ya dr. and see if you can get in for a fill. as it is never to late to start over. im here for you. i was just band 12-15-08. but, before i could get it i had to drop 39lbs i did it plus 4 extra lbs. so i know if i can do it you can.

job well done all. if it makes you feel any better when i started out i weighted 432lbs and im 5'3. im down 43lbs as of last wk. i lost it in 2.5months on my own. i was just banded 12-15-08 and hopin to loose more. can anyone tell me how or did they have a problem getting the liquid in. yesterday i only drank 5ozs of liquid and 3 popsickles. today a little better. also the first wk what did everyone loose. any ways dont be ashamed as you are and have corrected the problem. plus its not anyones business if you dont feel like telling them. im proud of you for the decision to get the band and the weightloss and getting your health back. you rock:thumbup:

count your blessings that you got it and all went good. do as the dr said and have it checked out after you lose some weight.

ok maybe i should call the dr as i can only drink about 8ozs the whole day and feel very tight.

im gone have to try that one. i did have tea today was only able to get down 2ozs b4 i felt like i had eaten a giant steak.:confused: that rocks. but, im gone stick with it and keep trying to get the liquids in but, its hard. but, i love it.this is something i thought i would never say.:shades_smile:

hey bloom, shar thanks for the posts im doing alright everything went alright except i got the dry hives for a while there. no real pain except gas alittle bite but, im taking the gas x and that really helps. and not able to drink as much as they say i should but, i'll have to work on that. other than that im doing fine and happy to be banded.:smile2:

today is day 2 post-opt for me seems to be going ok. passing alot of gas now but, i have gas x's to help with that and its working long with walking around alot. seem to not be very hungry to drink all the liquid at this moment but, im working on it.

thanks so much for all the support and prayers they got through surgery went fine it was only 30mins. no real pain. only had the dry hives for some reason. but, it was under control. glad that i had it done.:biggrin:

hi all, i must say everything went well surgery was only an half an hour , And cuts are so small. didn't have much pain did have the dry hives for a while. but, once it was taken care of it was alright. one thing is for sure it was the right choice for me. good luck everyone lets keep in touch with each other. :smile2:

hi all surgery went good it took 30mins and in recovery almost an hr before i woke up and was talking. i wasn't that bad at all. only thing was i had a bad case of the dry hives for a while but, after changing the medication for the seconde time it was alright. also i think small goals are better as it seems like something reachable rather than having to try and do the whole large amount. thanks all for the support. how is everyone doing.
