Well ok today was my 1st fill and my doc was kinda dissappointed in me:confused: cause instead of loosing i gained alot (his words) I felt bad. He ask me what type of foods have i been eating i told him, no snacks and no bread but i said i don't stop when i feel satisfied and thats bad i drink while eating and thats a big nono its like i know this but at times it get hard. But today i go 1.4cc so we can see how that goes. I really gotta get back on my game today. Well let me go now i am going to clean my room, fold my clothes and then sit down and put a exercise scheldule out i am going to start walking because i don't want to not suceed at this band plus that would be alot of money wasted but ok let me go now hopefully this fill will do me some good and help me out with some restriction but ok gotta go.

Thanks everyone for the comments that really helped me out i was getting a little worried

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone was or has been in the same situation as I. Well ok i got may band at the end of march, and it has been April, and almost all of May and I have the same weight I had the time of the liquids and i lost 12 pounds nothing since then except some inches, I am going to start loosing weight after my first fill (which is tommorrow) or what?> This gets really frustration for me sometimes. Well thanks

ok well i am getting frustrated with this, i don't see any change on the scale, i have sort of been eating right may be thats the problem. But everyone says they see a difference like in my face and stuff like that well i did have a soda and i no that was a big nono, so i gotta get back on track. So this weekend i am going to go and by some of those little dinners from the grocery store. So instead of going to eat fast food for lunch at work i can eat on of those and i need some water bottles. the hardest part for me is going to school cause it is an culinary school as well. but hoepfully it will all work out ok. so bye for now

Well this morning got up got dressed went to weigh myself didn't go anywhere. Lastnight for Ieshas birthday we went to Willies and my step mom allowed me to eat crawfish which i not suppose to but they went down really smoothly. Before the band crawfish would never fill me up, but last night i felt so full, i had to walk around before going inside the house. But i drank one glass of sweet ice tea, i know i just thought it should have been unsweetened tea. YIKES!!!, well i really want to try and loose seven more pounds and make it to 200 pds lost by next Wednesday, which will mark me for being banded for two whole weeks. So tonight we are going to a hotel for my step sisters little slumber party with her friends and sharon and i are going. Tiara might go after work not sure yet, we'll see. Well i tried to drink an ensure this moring but could not drink it i don't really like the taste i know i need my proteins, i haven't had any proteins. oooh thats bad but i am not sure what to do. i am going to have to try some type of protein pills or somthing. I do have vitamins but i have only taken one. since sharon bought them and that was sometime last week. Well i am going to go take a nap, oh yeah and for lunch i just made some ramen noodles. that was good and filing. ok bye for now

Hey, Congrats!! Wednesday was my week, i tried to have a protein shake this morning but i did not like the taste so i am going to buy new flavor. But keep it going and congrats again!!!! :clap2:

Yesterday, I went to the doctors for my appointment, and I went on the scale, and it read 113.5, I was so excited. I thought before I was 235 but I asked the nurse and she said I was only 223. So I was happy about that too. Yea for me 10 pds in one week YIPPEEE!!! So now I can move on to non-clear liquids, like apple sauce, pudding (low fat), and thicker soups. I just can't wait till week three. I have been cheating BIG time at school. On monday I actually ate some scramble eggs, and later that day i ate some broclli and cheese soup from Jasons Deli, ( that was not that bad) but tuesday I did the samething eggs again. Wednesday i was a good girl. Ate my applesauce, lunch i had some tomato soup, and later that day i had some frito pie but only two small bits. Today I ate some applesauce for breakfast and lunch i ate chick nuggets only 3, and right now i am eating some pudding. I need to stop cheating so much, because if i can loose another 10 pds for this week that would be so awesome so i am pround of myself for loosing the first 10pds but also upset with myself cause now i am acting as if i can't control myself when i know i can so i just need to ask god for guidence through this, and help me with restriction. but ok that was the update for today. Oh yeah this morning i did loose another 3pds but i probably gained them back already well see when i get home tonight. its my step sisters birthday today, we are buying her a cake. but i know i can't have any i probably have me some soup.

Yea I Am A Uhc As Well I Got Approve In About 4 Days.

I am 20, and I was banded on march 29. My BMI was 35

Ok, well I have been up movin around alot. Yesterday, my friend, her sister, and my step sister all went to the mall. I had lots of fun, but the hard part was when I became very hungry, my stomach started hurting, I was trying to wait till the others were hungry, so then i told them I had to eat something. So we went to the food court, there was not really nothing that I could eat. So my sister and I went to the Cajun food place, she ordered one small plate where we could share, we got some burbeon chicken, and some noodles and potatoes. I ate the chicken(small pieces), and ate some potatoes since that was something soft. I became full quickly, but I keep catching myself, still eating when I know I am satisfied. Then today at school, I went ahead and ate some scramble eggs, and some bacon. I bought some apple sauce for lunch time to eat. This week has been hard these are the todays I really have ate food like this, I did very good i think last week all soups. I guess yesterday i need something i could chew, but i did chew until it was small enough to swallow down my throat. Well all is well here, except my grandfather did pass away yesterday morning around 4am. That was really sad, eventhought I was entirely close to him, he was on my mothers side of the family. I will miss him though, I really am worried now about my Grandma, I love her so much. She has lost a daughter (my mom) and now her Husband. Its alot for her to handle. But I know she is a strong woman, and I know she will hang in there. I really want to try and visit her sometime this year. If not anyother time atleast Christmas or some part of the summer coming up. But I am very excited about loosing my weight, we have a scale, its my stepmoms but i know hers is wrong because wehen I went for my pre-op i was 235 thinking i was 220. So on hers i used to be 220ish (some where around that) Now I am at 210 so I see I have lost something, but today she is going to bring a scale from work. I am glad she works at a health place. Oh I can't wait for my trip to see my boyfriend in Jamaica, he is going to be like Whoa!! Hot Mamaz!!! (hahaha) :clap2:. I already found a bathing suit that I really really really want it is so cute, I found it in the Junior department in Foleys at Willowbrook yesterday. But it cost $76, I want it so bad. Its like a one piece but all the back is out, and it ties up on the neck and the colors are so different. I am going to try and get it, i was thinking about buying it soon. And hanging it up on my wall for something to look forward too. I might do that on my next check if i have it. So my goal is to really loose so major weight by June 23, because thats when we are leaving for JAM ROCK MON!!!!!! and my birthday is June 26 i will be 21. I know i always said i would never get a belly ring but that was because i thought i was to fat and that i would never show my belly but when i loose my weight i can a little. But loosing my weight is for a new beginning in my life. My step mom thinks it my go to my head, and become a little wild, but I really don't think i will be like that because thats just not me. I never really went out because i always felt tired no energy. But i am not going to lie I am going out to the beach parties when i go to JAMROCK MON!!!!! Just have a little fun!!! But ok . lAtErZ!!!!:eek:

Yea I Did It!!! I Am So Excited, Because I Am Actually Having A Quick Recovery. I Have Had No Gas Pains Yet, The Only Pain That I Have In The Incision, And Thats Just Mild Pain. I Have Been Drinking Soups. So I Am Doing Pretty Good, I Just Thank God, My Family And This Site, Which Has Helped Me Get Through My First Surgery. The Worst Part Of It Was Just Getting An Iv, After That Everything Was Cool!!! Thanks To The Staff At Twelve Oaks Hospital, They Really Were Great!!!! Thanks Again!!!

Yea my doctor did give me instructions, but i just wanted to know what types of liquids others were drinking this has been very hard for me, i have been drinking the juice froim ramen noodles, and apple juice,Water.

me too, i am a young one, 20 years old, just was banded yesterday, i am not sure but i believe the younger you are the less pain you have, or it could just depend on your body type. But i had some pain but it was very mild, luckily i have not had any gas pains, not that i know what they feel like and if i did they did not hurt much. But i wish you all good luck and it really is not as bad as i thought it would be, i had great nurses who helped me along the way, and its good that we are starting at a young age.

What types of foods did you eat or drink the days after surgery

I finally got banded yesterday, got up around 4:30am, left around 5am, with my dad. Arrived at the hospital, wnet striaght to my room, had to change in the hospital gown. The worst part of the whole thing for me was getting an IV, since I never had an IV, it was kinda hard for me, but this lady named Crissy tried to help me by distracting me and talking about her lapband she had lost 100 pds with in a year and she looks great. But soon after the IV was not as bad as I was making it. So then going on to the room where they get me ready to go in to surgery, I was number 2 on Dr. Speigel lists, so i was happy to get in and get out of there. It was cold in this room so they gave me another blanket, then the anesthia lady gave me some drugs then they rolled me in the surgery room, i had to move over to the other bed and all of a sudden i don't remeber anything else. I woke up in the recovery room, they called my name and i woke up, then they asked me from 1-10, 10 being the worst how was the pain i said about a 3-4, the guy gave me some pain medicine. Then i was rolled in to another room, then my dad came and got me, i had wonderful doctors, they said i recovered rather quickly, i had to walk around a couple times, it really hurted getting up the first time but my nurse james helped me, i also had to take a breathing machine home, i till have not made it to the mark but i will get there. Right now i am in mild pain, yesterday evening i got out with my step mom and sister at the store and bought so soups that were clear liquids so i can sip on them today, i have so much to tell but i am tired so i will return a little later.
