Peanutband

Hey Maggifer, I am so glad you made it.:sneaky: The pain in the shoulder for me did not come until the second or third day. But keep in mind not everyone has this pain. Everyday I got better, now that I am 7 days out, my engery level is why up for me to be able to clean my living room. Again CONGRATS!:thumbup:

I am so glad that everyone is doing so great! I hear what you are saying Jennifer about the engery. We loss just a few lbs and now the engery level goes up. I had some much engery today that I cleaned the living room. I thought I never have that engery level to clean again. I Love My Band!

Don't be to concern. Some people don't have the gas issue. And if you do have some gas it will soon come. I took about 3 days before my started to pass through.

It has been over one week for me and I was just wondering how everyone else is doing? I am doing great:thumbup:! I have lost about 18 lbs according to my doctor yesterday. I go back to work tomorrow but I can handle it. So again, How is everyone and their progress?

Congrats! I am so happy for you.

Congrats! It is worth it. And don't freak out! It was met to happen for you. I wish I did it sooner.

I am so happy for you kelsiejoy. I am glad to hear you are doing fine. I too was band on the 8th and my recovering is going just fine. I had my first appointment today with my doctor (follow up) all looks great! When is your follow up?:laugh:

Thanks. I really need to hear that. I am happy for you too.

Can I add something also. Everyone has a plateau (miss spelled ?) we need to have. This is the time the body plays catch up with the weight loss. So Don't be discourage. The scale will move again very soon.

Well here is my report after seeing my doctor follow up appointment. I get to move on to week number 2 foods. Oh My! Pudding and cream soaps. I just made some banana cream pudding add a scoop of vanilla protein and oh I am in heaven......And here is some good news he told me. I am now down 18 lbs. So I will be changing my tracker very soon. Just thought you all would like to hear some good news today. I go back in 5 weeks for my first fill which is on my birthday also. This is the nices christmas present I have given to myself. I am so happy right now.

I too was band on the 8th. I am doing just fine and Yes I was worried. But nothing to worry about, it would be over very soon. It is wonderful to be banded. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone and soon you all well be on the band wagon.

I have to tell you all something. I was the same way before my surgery on the 8th. This is so normal. I didn't loss any weight before my surgery. Guess what! IT IS SO WORTH IT! I did it and I am now only 5 days out. I have lost about 12 lbs in 5 days. You all can do this if I can. It is not bad at all. I also did eat and could not stop eating. Now I hardly eat at all because I am not hungry. I have to make myself eat. Congrats! and Good Luck, my prayers and thoughts are with everyone.

I can see that there are so many differences within doctors already. My doctor don't me to have any protein drinks until the second week. When I do get to drink protein I need to drink at least 50 to 60 grams a day. Also my doctor did use the super glum method on me instead of stitches or staples. Isn't that funny how there are so many different rules but you still have the same ending results.

Trust me Ronda1966 it is worth it and you will be fine. I had to use several pillows under me for a couple of days when I wasn't in the recliner. Try to use pillows, it does help. The best news I can say is I have not taken any of my medicine for sugar in 10 days. My sugar is staying in the range of 120 to 86. I am so happy about that. Also my wedding rings, I can wear them on the right finger, and they are moving around the finger like they need to do. I am so excited about the future if this continues.....Wooohoo!:cursing:

Hey BellaBean, You call your tummy the angry cat, I am calling my the two tigers fighting. I might change the name when they are tamed down.

I have to agree call your doctor. I was banded on the 8th and I am doing fine. Not hungry at all.

All I can say it does get easier very day. I am now able to sleep in my bed like I use to which was on my sides and belly. Whoohoo!

I don't have the gas pains like that at all. I am sorry you do. I used gas-x and heating pad plus walked. I am still passing gas but I am not hurting. My belly is just making all these nosies. I am glad to see you are back.:tongue2: How are you doing. I am fine. :wub: When do you go back to see Dr. Moran? I need to go on Tuesday at 9. So far I lost about 11 lbs but I don't know where it is at.

I am too sorry daqui for that you have to wait. Just keep your head up and it will soon be here before you know it. I will be praying for you. I had my surgery on the 8th and I am doing fine. I don't think was a mistake at all. I just wish I could have done this sooner in life. Good luck with everyone's up coming surgery's. My prayers are with each one of you.

That is great news...Thank you. I see you are doing great. I hope I can do the same.

I was just band on the 8th of this month. I am having these hunger pains (I think) and my belly is making a punch of nosies. How long does this last? I am hoping this will stop soon. Can someone tell me please.

I am having the same thing with the nosies and hunger pains. I am hoping this goes away soon.

I am getting much better everyday. I was able to sleep in my bed lastnight. DH also helped me in and out of bed too. I am in love with sf popcicles right now. They do stop the hungry pains I think I am having. My belly makes all kinds of nosies. I hope this stops soon. Has anyone heard from mommaof3boys yet. She was done the day before me.

Peanutband is here to check in. I DID IT!!!! I think this was worth it also. I am up but still hurts on the bottom area with some pressure in the chest area. Do you all had that too! Is this normal? I am fine in the long run. I had to sleep in the recliner and I hope to be able to sleep in my bed tonight. How long did it take for you all to sleep in your beds? I am not hungrey at all.

I am getting my band tomorrow morning. Good luck to everyone on there progress and getting band.
