Checking in I was banded on July 1st, so, I'm a month out and doing great. My recovery was a snap. Slight pain gas and tummy soreness for 2 days. I'm down 13.6 lbs. I'm eating regual diet approx. 3/4 to 1 cup of food keeping my calories between 800 - 860/ day and getting 50 - 65 g Protein a day. Still stuggling to get in 64 oz of Water a day. I had my torn meniscus repaired on Jul 23, so no exercise for me since, july 20th and so, that makes me really happy that I'm still able to average 3.1 lbs/week. Emotionally, I'm ok...bored to tears and ready to go back to work...as soon as this knee allows it. And, out of boredom, I'm napping and have even snacked on Jello and popsicles which isn't back...compared to just weeks ago...when I would have finished a 1/2 gallon of Turkey Hill ice cream in a two days. My first fill will be the 21st and I think I may have a couple cc's already in my band. I have a fuller feeling at night...can't wait to ask him if in fact he did put some saline in during surgery.

If you guys also want to know the percentage of your weight loss ( like biggest loser and dance your ass off ) I've been using this percentage calculator. Percentage Calculators

I'm up .8 :crying: I expected it with surgery and not drinking much Water...cause, I couldn't walk to the bathroom without intense pain...thankfully, I turned the corner yesterday, I'm getting around much better, no crutches...but, an occassional leaning on furniture and door frames. last week 269.2 this morning 270.0

I'm in... surgery July 1, 2009 281.5 mon July 20, 2009 271.2 knee surgery July 23, 2009...so, not able to excerise gonna try doing mostly liquids until I get the ok to workout again so, my numbers might not be great :biggrin:

I'm a carb lover as well....as I type I'm choking down a chocolate EAS 1g carb protein shake. Trying to be very selective about my carbs...

During my initial consult, I was given a questionaire about weight gain, eating habits and goals. I set my goal at 200lbs and the PA said my goal was very conservative. Their goal weight for me is 177lbs...so, I decrease my goal to 190lbs...still conservative, I guess but, I'd be darn happy with it. They do use a formula to come up with your goal weight.

So, glad to hear everything went so well. You're a bandster....yipppeee and congrats on your grad work...you are a very determined lady!

Just read your surgery story and it sounds like you had an awesome team...and home that afternoon ...lucky duck :huh2: Glad to read it all went perfectly. I'm still struggling to get 32oz of Water...let alone 64

Isopure available at GNC stores...is a cyrstal lite like drink with 40 grams Protein in a 20oz bottle
