I’m so excited! I have officially lost 50 pounds!!! 30 since surgery 11/13.
I’m still frustrated with eating some days, but this sure helps me look past it and know that I’m on the right path!

How is everyone else doing with your weight loss this far? Any new non scale victories?

Congratulations! I know you will do well. I’m having my gastric sleeve surgery on January 29th.

I'm so glad to hear that! This gas is KILLING me, I finally broke down and go dissolvable gas meds, hopefully it helps! I work at an inpatient psych unit, so I'm giving myself a little extra time before returning to work since it's physical, although I'm growing antsy sitting around here! Nice meeting you, can't wait to see your journey!

Mine went extremely well. I came back to work yesterday. Now if i could just get rid of the excess gas, and the weight gain from the surgery (15 pounds additional LOL) I am down to 4 over.. so hopefully by end of week i will start seeing a loss of some sort. I am able to get all my liquids and Proteins in.. thankfully. Tonight i will start extended walking. I have been walking but not as exercise. that starts tonight.

Hi bandsters!
I am so glad to hear that they figured out what the problem was Josie! I have worked with lots and lots of folks that have repeatative illnesses with aspiration pneumonia. Many folks with significant disabilities have problems with their swallow and have to have specific diet textures to avoid this problem. I hope this was caused from PBing and nothing occured with your swallow after you got the band. I hope you are feeling much better!
I have to share with you all that I actually think that I have had a bit of a restriction from my fill on Monday. Last night I got to start puree foods and when I ate about a cup of pureed broccoli it hit me. A new feeling, like a stabbing pain where my top incision is clear through to my back. It was a bit painful so I stopped eating and said enough. I wasn't really sure if it was the restriction or just a new pain...it seemed for the first 4-5 weeks eating brought a new a different feeling each time I did it. Today I had a yogurt for Breakfast but I didn't get the feeling then when I had lunch about a cup into my pureed tuna tetrazzini I felt it again! HOORAY!!!:dance:
I hope this is what I think it is because if it is...I think I may just feel finally full!!!
