BM09 and letsgetitstarted: I sent a "friend" request to you two so that it would be easy to find each other to keep each other updated. Since I am new to lapbandtalk I am not sure what the difference is between "contact" and "friend" status so I just picked friend. letsgetitstarted, how did you get that weight tracker bar thing on your profile? ~jagband

Okay, so I am down 27lbs. as of yesterday... Oh yeah! I will enjoy riding this wave for now because I know the weight loss will slow. Yes, I have been on soft solids since 2 weeks post-op and have had no problems. So about the first fill, what did your doc base the decision to fill on? Was it the restriction you feel? My doc says that some people do not need a fill right away, so I am curious. Glad to hear it was not bad to have done. Its crazy how you can feel such a difference! We have so much in common: banded on the same day, same age, AND we weighed within a pound of each other starting out:laugh:.

Hey there! Not only are we "twins" but we are the same age:smile2:. Five weeks tomorrow - can't believe it! Doing well - so far I have lost 23 pounds (as of a week ago) and feel great! I am having a hard time getting motivated to exercise, any tips? Hope you have a good visit with the doc. My next appointment is the 30th when I may/may not get a fill... we'll see.
