    1 month anniversary

    Well, I've made it to one month and I'm 30 pounds down! woohoo! I've had one fill already, which was 2 days ago..I've noticed some restriction, I've had a few encounters where I felt like I was going to vomit, I think only cause I was rushing myself and didn't chew carefully. But I'm so excited to lose some more weight..I have a lot more to go, but at least I have a great start. The first two weeks of liquids was really hard, and I ended up losing 25 pounds in those 2 weeks! These following 2 weeks have slowed down big time! 5 pounds in 2 weeks? Just doesn't seem like much, but I have to keep telling myself that I lost 30 pounds in 1 month..that's pretty freakin good! Talk soon with more updates!

  6. Hey there! Just thought I would stop by and say welcome! It has taken me 10 months for the whole process to play out, I have my surgery on May 18th! I'm getting pretty nervous..being a few days and all...Hope to chat with you and answer any questions you may have. Take care! :)

  7. Hey All! My name is Jamie and I'm 32..I'm getting banded at the Oregon Bariatric Center in Eugene on May 18th! So excited and a tad nervous..I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow..I hope to make some friends close to home! :thumbup:
  8. Hi! I also get banded on the 18th! It is really coming up..one week! Getting nervous? I am..lol, Good luck with everything! :)

  9. Hey lady! It's been a long time! I finally have a surgery date! May 18th and it's coming fast! eeks! So, it looks like you've been having some issues? That sucks! Let me know what's up!

  10. One night in hospital.. bypass pt.s stay 3-5 days. i feel 100% better, i'm eating now, chicken soup, n salmon. it's getting easier.

  11. still no date..sometime in april i'm hoping...so how long did you stay in the hospital? and the liquids sound like hell..lol..not looking forward to that!

  12. My mom, sis n honey been taking care of me. i could not do this alone. i'm a lot better as far as pain pr discomfort, but my liquid intake is not good. i admit. because i hate the shakes. so i'm taking multi vita, and doing my best with suger free popsicles...they seem to go down great. milk worked for a while, but now kinda gives me weird discomfort. i'm hoping i'm ready for soft foods this week. be sure to learn n trade liquid alternatives. i didn't and luckily my sis tried diff things for me. two weeks on a liquid diet is tough. i can't eat jello, it won't digest well. so yeah...when is your surgery?

  13. wow lady..i'm scared...lol..you poor thing! it's good to hear what can happen though..thanks for not sugar coating it..and 15 pounds? that's insane! i kinda swayed away from my diet this past month..and just got strict again..i lost 5 pounds in 3 days...that was kinda weird! it must've been water weight or something?? i' m glad your doing better..must've been tough! who's taking care of you? luckily my mom will be available the whole time for me...take care! my name is jamie by the way..i don't know if i've ever told you? LOL

  14. Hello. yay i'm alive! ok, so i've had sum issues. let me start with i'm fine as of yesterday. my one week post op. i had a hiatal hernia repair, which slowed my revovery. i was sent home with 2 cc of fluid, didnt know. and well i couldnt digest for a whole day, so i became tired n sad n all upset. went to see my doc that wed to get unfilled. and it felt better three days later...horrible pain...i cried n regreted the surgery. but, have support so they helped. i also got an irritation to the dermabond, around the incisions. i've been tested,and now am fine. i lost a scary 15 pounds in 6 days post op. i am happy,but am focused on overall health. so yeah...it's been quite a week. how.s everything with you? i'm typing from my cell, i cannot access from my comp...weird.

  15. hey miss! how did it go? i hope all is well and your surgery was a breeze! let me know how your doing!
