My doctor told me not to worry about calories in the beginning. Just make sure you get your 60-80g of protein a day and stay well hydrated. But everyone's diet plan is different. Good luck in your journey!

I had surgery at 1pm on a monday and I was back at work on thursday for a half day and then full days then on! good luck

I am the same way...I am a month post-op and can consume everything...I am not near my old portions but nothing gives me a problem! My doctor said it was normal and expect that until I have my first fill on October 8th! That Pinching feeling is exactly from eating to fast, not chewing well enough, or eating to much so usually I stop and thats that. Good luck with your journey!

Congrats! That is amazing! What do you typical eat in a day? Are you filled???

9/5/08 220.4 9/12/08 220.8 i gained 0.4lbs but TOM is suppose to be here any day now. I have been walking more at work and just in general everyday! Goal for this week is to start the gym!

I had the longest period ever after surgery, but i dont know if the 4 shots of bloodthinner had anything to do with it.

Congrats on the fill! Makes me less nervous for mine on Oct. 8th!

1. All my pants are too big for me!!! 2. All my shirts are no longer tight on me. 3. Everyone is noticing 4. I am having no problem working over 60hours in a week now! I cannot wait until I am under 200lbs just to see how it feels again!

8.29.08 223.8 9.5.08 220.4 I am down 3.4lbs this week! :tongue2: Still haven't been back to the gym but stilll working 60+ hours at work....I walk around and stand at work as much as possible. Oh I did go to the beach and spent 2 hours swimmming in the ocean. I still have one month to my first fill....right when I get back from Las Vegas.

The Lap Band Companion by Dr. Daniel Jones....Very good

He was cheating on me with his exwife...and now he has moved back in with her....Oh well I am moving on! I snagged myself a new sexier man!

Thanks everyone! I rather be safe then sorry! We are going to pack a lunch and leave it in the car! I cannot wait...My work gave me free passes and I have to use them by the end of the season and monday is the last day that the water park is open and it is going to be 80 out! I am sooo excited...last time i went to an amusement park was in 1999!

So I am going to six flags on Monday...I will be 3 weeks post-op. Should I be fine? I went back to work 3 days after surgery!

I am still numb and I was banded on 8.11.08....nerve damage...may or may not come back...

Good Luck! See you on the other side real soon!

I know it stinks to have to loose 10lbs when y ou want something sobad! ON my pre-op diet I lost 13.2lbs in two weeks and probably would have lost more if I didn't cheat and go to red robin and applebees.... I had 3 protein shakes a day and a sensible dinner.

Good Luck with your surgery!!! It will be well worth it...I am not from Alabama....but figured I would say Hello!

That shot is horrible...I first got it in the arm and now 11 days later I still have the softball size bruise...They give you 3 a day...I had it 3 more times but those times in the thighs...hardly any pain.

I also have myspace! www.myspace.com/hotliquidblueice Feel free to add me!!!:wink2:

Good Morning!!! I am down -5lbs for the week. For a total of 20.6lbs since 7/28/08:thumbup: Exercise...None! Back to Work Full-Time!!!:wink2:

I shouldn't complain then! I have just a liquid diet with mushy foods such as cottage cheese, oatmeal, pudding...I thought I had it rough...Good Luck! I know those cheeseburgers look good but they aren't worth it in the end...
