I am in the same boat - only I get my 2nd fill tomorrow and I have gained 2 pounds since my first fill. I would love to know what you find out from others. It is SO frustrating.

Day 5 post op and I am doing well - kind of. I am on full liquids and am SO confused. I can have protein shakes, milk shakes, and liquids that I can pour the consistency of pancake batter. However, everyone talks about being too full or not being able to drink. I have the opposite - I have no issues with drinking liquids - and am never full. What is going on?? I am down to 185 pounds - losing around 1/2 a pound a day which is great - but am I ever going to feel full? :thumbup:

0200 this morning my hubby and I went for a walk...my gas pains were just too much. We walked a 1/2 a mile and it actually felt really good. I love my family - they are being SO supportive. We are having a neighborhood block party tonight, but it's going to be all good - I am going to sip on my protein drink and watch everyone else get schnockered...lol...should be interesting.

I love my lortab elixir - it helps tremendously!

Well, I was banded yesterday and got more than I bargained for.... I had a hiatal hernia and scar tissue around my stomach and boy do I hurt!! I think my pain is from the scar tissue removal due to where it is located. The lortab elixir is great though..it helps wonders and I have no doubt in my mind that this was the best decision of my life ...

Well, Thursday is the day! :smile2: Wow - I can't believe it is almost here - chicken broth tastes really good after two days of protein shakes and forgetting about the broth in the cabinet.. I have lost 11 pounds - 2 more to go for my goal surgery weight - yay.. I know i can do it - just have to stick with it and remember that this time next week it will be all over and I will be on my way to my new self...

May 21st is my band date!! It is rapidly approaching and I am so excited!!

I can't believe May 21 is coming so fast!! I am getting excited. The liquid diet is getting easier - straining chicken soup is SO much better than chicken broth!! My fears are being swept under the carpet and anticipation of having the tool to begin my awesome journey of being healthy is creeping in!! :thumbup: Go ME!!
