Hey Lapbandgirl4life..thanks for checking on me.. Yes I am 4 days post op and it has been pretty crazy.. Day of and day after I was ok .. Friday was a pretty painful day, but as long as you keep up on your pain meds it is manageable.. today seems to be starting out a little better I am not feeling as much pain.. I would say one of the hardest things is the protein drinks. for some reason after surgery they have an odd taste and I am bored with them. I would seriously recommend getting a variety. I was reading my post op packet this morning and it said i could have carnation instant breakfast so i think I am going to try that and hopefully it taste alright..I got on the scale this morning and it said I had lost 7 lbs since surgery, but I am not putting any changes on my profile when I go to doctors office.. I need to weigh on my scale and theirs so I know how far apart they are in accuracy..It has not been to bad. it will totally be worth all the changes..

My best wishes go out to you. Feel free to contact me whenever. Take care

Hey.. I am glad you are home.. I know it is hard to be back at work .. the first few days were pretty rough for me.. You will do well. Just take it easy.. I have lost a few pounds, but it certainly slowed down since I went from liquids to food..I was thinking about going back to protein drinks for a few days, but I really just dont think I can handle the protein drinks again ha ha not yet anyways, but I am taking it one day at a time. I never eat over my alotted amounth and only have 1 snack a day so we will see what happens. The doctor said we would see a period were we would not loose any because our body was healing. I am hoping that is all mine is doing right now. I go for my first fill on 11/04..

keep me posted and take care

Hey Bridgette.. things are well. Dont give up hope as far as stalling. let me tell you I have been back and forth for about 5 months now.. I am so sick of it ha ha I am trying a few different things to see if it gets me moving, but more or less I am pretty sure it was my fault because I am so sick of dieting ha ha.. I hope all is well.. keep in touch

Hey handsome.. I am having a good day. Only because I get to think about you during it.. I can't wait to get home and see you. Love and hugs

Hey I just wanted to check in with you.. how are you feeling and how is everything going??

Hey just dropping in to see how your surgery was??? did everything go well??? How are you feeling?? Give me an update once u are up and about my best wishes

Hey Nazzy I have had 4 fills so far and lost 79lbs.. I am stocked. I am glad you are doing well.. My hubby did have the surgery and he is doing great. I think he also has had 4 or 5 fills not sure.. He has lost a little over 60 lbs. both doing great.. how have you been feeling?? Glad you finally have restriction. It certainly makes a difference

Hey Nazzy.. I have only had 2 fills so far. I just had my second last Thursday. How come????

hey Patti.. how have you been??? Just wanted to see how things were going... I hope all has been well..

Hey Sun.. I dont drink so that is not an issue for me.. it is not because I am a goody goody or anything I just never really want to drink so I dont ha ha.. As far as eating post op is the hardest, but I found as long as I told family and friend what I was doing it was much easier to get past people making offers I might have not been able to resist.. As far as holidays go.. I am not at all worried.. I am usually not hungry anymore so I dont really ever crave anything.. I have my 3 meals a day and one snack.. so I just make sure what I am going to have for a snack is what I really love or maybe what I have been craving if I have been craving anything.. It works out really well for me.. I have found I have a lot more will power knowing I have this band... and even before I had it because I knew I was working for something I really wanted... even though I have ALWAYS wanted to be skinnier it was not as easy to not give in, but now I dont ever get hungry and I have learned ways to avoid snacking through out the day.. You really just have to find things that work for you... read post and take Ideas from others and if you like them see if they work for you..

Hey thanks for stopping by.. when were u banded?? My weight loss is crazy one week I will loose nothing and the next week I will loose 10 lbs. I dont get it and honestly as long as it keeps coming off I dont care ha ha.. I do find the more I walk the better it comes off.. I hope you are doing well. thanks for your well wishes.. keep in touch.. best wishes to u

Hey.. thanks for the comment.. I am working my butt off literally ha ha.. As far as the swine flue. In my department I have not had many questions.. YET ha ha, but I am sure they will arrive .. I just hope this fizzles out very quickly and people get better soon..

Hey.. When did you have surgery?? How are you feeling??? I hope things are going well.. Take care and best wishes

hey..Glad to hear your preop is going well. One main suggestions I can give you is have a huge variety of protein beverages for after surgery. I am so sick of my protein drinks already and I have 5 days left.. YUCK.. Oh well. I know I can do this ha ha it is just tough to sip on something you are grossed out by ha ha well i hope you have a great weekend. Keep me updated with any questions you might have and best wishes on a continued successful pre op diet

Hi how are you?? well surgery day was yesterday. I got home today at 1015 it has been nice to be home and I am feeling pretty good. just muscle pain. other then that everything went well.. my best wishes to you.. take care
