Ok checking in. Today I went to my two weeks post up appt. Since surgery on 10. 08. 08 I have lost 33 lbs. I am down to 258 from 291. I am shocked but happy. This is truly a gift. Its a tool and I am making the best of it. I am 28 lbs away from reaching my first goal hopefully by dec 25th! Good luck to all those being banded today! Cheers to new a new birth date!!!

Hooray blue! I am glad your home and doing well!!!

Ronda, I am starting to think its air! I think you might feel it when there is pressure coming on by the food we are eating. I try really hear to eat at least 800 calories. I am also not hungry at all, so its kind of a pain having to eat so much right now. IDK.

Good to hear myturn. I am so happy for you. I am amazed at my weight loss. I am down to 263 lbs and on my surgery date I was 291 that's 28 lbs in 15 days. I know a lot is water weight but hey I take what I can get.

Hey Karen do you weight more or less then the WII? I weight more on the Wii and less at the doc's office.

Hi, I just wanted to stop by and wish everyone good luck!!!

Karen enjoy your week off!! I need a year off lol so I can focus a lot more on exercising. I would love some sexy abs!! Lol. One day.

Hi everyone, well I still have not checked a scale yet. So I am not sure how much weight I have loss. I have lost a lot of body fluids because my shoes are just dancing and a lot of my jeans are loser. According to my wii fit I weight 267 but I find that hard to believe. Can I really lose twenty pounds in one week? No way.

Checking in, I am doing much much better. With each day my strength seems to grow. I hate anemia :regular_smile: Ok so the weirdest thing happened, I tried on my shoes and they are fitting like flip flops! I'm rocking my sexy hip boots again and it feels great!! Still don't know how much weight I have lost but I will find out next week at my 2 week post up appointment Good luck and God bless all those being banded today!

Good Luck Bobbie!!! I know things are going to go well!!! Hurry up and come to the banded side. lol. God bless!

Lol thanks so much Renita. I am laughing because we basically have the same menu. I just thought I wasn't doing enough. It also takes me an hour to eat my chicken broth, because my manual also says to eat sloooooowly lol. Thank you so much for posting. I have a protein shake in the morning 29 grams of protein.(some times I eat baby food) I take my vitimans-all chewable Then I have 2 oz broth I have my water always w/a protein slam mixed in-27 grams (i dont add protein mix but I always drink water) I sip on it all day and inbetween "eating" since your not supposed to eat and drink. popsicle or jello if I want a snack supper--thinned cream soup strained-2-3 oz

Hey Renita, can you tell me a sample menu. What have you been eating thus far? I feel like I am not eating enough and dont want to starve!

Everything goes by so quickly. Before you know it, its October 29th!

I love my wiifit!!! FYI, the tennis game does really feel like your playing tennis, if you squat. move your arms and have space to move side to side, you WILL feel it!

Checking in! First of all I appreciate every single person in this thread! hehe and wish everyone who is getting banded tomorrow a successfully safe surgery and a lot of good ol' burping. Ok so yesterday was a rough rough day! I though I was going to be strong, I walked for about 30 minutes, I literally had to sit down and rest every ten minutes because of my chronic anemia causing me to quickly feel fatigue and out of breath. Then the lack of an elevator made it worst so I collapse as i attempted to reach my FIFTH floor apartment. My bf had to hold me u and encourage me to keep going. I am now using a cane for support! I actually like it. So my diet for the first two days was just Clear liquids. now I am in the full liquid stage. My mom made some chicken Soup and blended it, I only ate 2 ounces because I am not 100 percent sure if I should have eaten that. I also had my Vitamins, Water, water, 2 teaspoons of FF yogurt, 2 sugar free ices which are DISGUSTING lol. If anyone thinks I am doing something wrong please let me know! Also according to my wii, which I find hard to believe, I weight 268, blah, I didn't weight myself on the wii before the surgery so I am not sure what to think. My so fars..... I feel little pain! I have MINOR chest pain/Pressure?, which I was told that its probably due to swelling I feel like I cant eat more then what I have been eating I totally cant and wont believe my BMI is at 39, so I am waiting to weight myself somewhere else. I am thankful that tomorrow is Columbus day and do not have to go to work

Good luck bikini!

Checking in again, So I am not hungry at all! Weird. I have been eating chicken broth, Water and more chicken broth. I walked around my house a lot which is awesome. I hope my soreness goes away tomorrow :smile2: I must admit, today I asked myself, what did I get myself into? I guess a lot of people feel that way, hehe. Ok back to walking around. be good everyone!

Checking in, I am still sore. I feel like I did a million crunches. I am going to rest the soreness away. Good luck to all those getting banded today. Ahh it feels good to be home

I'm on my blackberry. Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I have really bad gad. I want to burp so badly but I can't. Fyi when you go in for surgery make sure you bring chap stick with you because you will need it!! Thanks to all those who had me in their thoughts and prayers. The journey began and I am excited!! I am still in the hospital because I have anemia at a level of 24 due to extremly heavy menstrual cycle ah that sucks. Talk to you soon and good luck to those getting banded today!

Goose, think positive and although you have to wait a wittle bit longer, you will get there! I was originally scheduled for August 20th, but do to me being sick, it had to be postponed! Time went by super fast and I am just glad it happened!

Ill just wear the bottoms!

Ooh how about the big question, did you have your period? I am on my monthly cycle and I go in tomorrow, eww.

Amen!:redface: We can do this!

How about using the gym at your school, if there is one.

Thanks for the updates Julie. Well today, I am doing some more shopping. I need to buy SF Jello, more chicken stock, Protein shakes, more chew able Vitamins and what ever else I see at GNC. I have my measuring tape ready and as soon as I come home from school, I will be measuring my tummy, chest, waist, hips and neck lol. Ok now I am a bit scared for tomorrow. Good luck to today's bandsters! Ill be praying for you all.
