Just checking in!!! I've got a w.loss of 19 lbs!!!! ttyl!

WTG Debbie!!!!! I got to start measuring myself!!! UPDATE- on me I had surgery 9-25 {little over 3 wks ago} & I've lost 19 lbs!!!!! It's so weird to see the weight just coming off!!! I haven't had this type off loss since I was like 15 yrs old & VERY active!!! I'm lovin it!!!!! I can't wait to GET ME BACK!!!!! :wub::biggrin:

I'm so glad to here your doing well now!!! I felt so bad for you. :wub: Glad you can keep your band! :biggrin:

I know what you mean. Before surgery I only told close family & friends. I'm not sure if I will go into detail if people start asking when i lose a large amount. i guess it depends on who. My gradmother doesn't know either. Just because she gets confused & I don't want to explain lol!

Yes, I have the packet & I have been using it. I just didn't notice it said 15 days lol!

oh no! That makes me nervous! I haven't had my 1st fill yet.

CONGRATS!!! I think a lot depends on how busy your surgen is. Mine was so quick. I was banded 9-25. They gave me my date 2 wks before surgery & the same day I was approved!!! For my pre-op they just gave me a physical, filled out more med history stuff, more blood work. Good luck! keep us posted!!!!

I don't think one meal would hurt. Your surgery is on the 17th/

Your cycle could have changed because of your weight loss.

I'm sure a lot of people have this problem. That's how we all got over weight right. Don't be so hard on yourself. We're not perfect. You should tell your doc about this or nutritionist about this. Maybe you need another fill?????

Oh no! I have heard of that. I hope all goes well. I 'm sorry you have to have another surgery,

Good idea about straining!!! Is your stage 2 for 2 wks? I just talked to my nutritionist & she told be I should move on to stage 3 by day 14!!!! Here I am thinking I had to do just shakes for THREE weeks! Come to find out they gave me the wrong paper at the hopital lol!!! She nade my day!!!

Oh no. keep us posted! Is there anything else you can try if you lose your band?

I can really feel my port popping out. Hope it's gonna go down. Anyone else have trouble bending over on that side? It feels like my ports up in my ribs! :crying: Reminds me of when I was pregnant & they'd stick a foot up there lol!

Oh no! I just read of that happening to another person here. :smile2: I will say a prayer for you. hang in there. :crying:

I've noticed I can't sit in one spot for too long like I could before because muy back hurts. I guess it's still part of healing.

I'm feeling almost normal now after surgery. Only now my back is bugging me a bit sore.

CONGRATS!!! I'm 9 days post op! This is the best thing I've evr done. NO REGRETS here! I know what you been w/ the water. I was a d-pepsi addict myself.

OH no!!! I hope your feeling better soon!!! I am making a check list for water today. I am not doing well w/ it.

I really need to up my water! Have not done good w/ that at all :rolleyes:Made a check list for it.

WTG!!! Keep it up!!!! I'm going onto my 2nd week of shakes. Had surgery 9-25. I have lost 13 lbs including the wk pre op diet! So, it's been about 9 days from surgery. I am still hungry a lot. Can't wait for first fill or to move on to mushy. I could go for some resl food. I don't even want "bad" food. I'd take a salad! anything !!!

alright!!!! I'm happy for ya!! I got my band 9-25!! I'm feeling good lost 12 lbs so far! good luck.

I thought we could just have shakes & clear liquids. Can we have soups like tomato cream soups ect. as lond as there's nothing in it??

I don't have any drainage but my port area was the ony part of my belly that hurt & I can feel the port too. The pain is almost all gone. :tongue: I'm 7 days out.

Hi guys. I'm only one wk post op. I gave up my beloved diet pepsi cold turkey :tongue: I don't want to do anything to mess up my band or stomach. I'm just done w. it. I drank 4-5 a day. :tongue:
