Hey! Sorry Ive been MIA! Im doing well. Its been about 11 days since surgery and I don't have too much pain at this point (just near the port). I am scheduled for an adjustment on July 28. My biggest problem (never thought Id say this!) is that I'm only eating about 400 calories a day and I think I've hit a plateau now (scale is going back and forth between 253-254 for the past 3-4 days). I may need to up my calorie intake. I also need to start going to the gym now. How about you??

Hi - I saw you were banded at Temple. I also was banded there 9 days ago with Dr. Soriano.

Thanks for adding me! My surgery is tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed:P are you already banded?

Thank you!! I will let you know how it goes. How are you doing since your surgery?

THAT IS WONDERFUL! congratulations and kudos to your firm abs haha! So did you stay overnight in the hospital or did you leave at 6PM the same day?? Anyhow, I'm so glad everything was great for you. I will let you know how mine goes when I come home next week! Good luck with your first few days with your new band!

hey sorry Ive been MIA. The diet is not so fun, but Ive also just been sticking to it. I like the weight loss and its motivated me to stick to it. Also I dont want any issues on surgery day, and since I will have been on it for 3 weeks before surgery I'm not anticipating any problems with the liver. Anyways, good luck tomorrow, and please give me an update when you get home!!

Hey! Im doing alright. The pre-op diet is getting harder. I'm really craving something to chew. My surgery is June 11th and Im getting excited! how are you doing?

Hey willow! Congrats on your upcoming surgery!! My surgery is June 11th and Im so excited. Pretty happy also to have found this support network. Also, it looks like we've started with similar weights - I started around 283 and am down to about 275.5 on the pre-op diet (this is my 4th day on the diet). You must be my similar height because my goal is 130. I'm 5'2. Are you 5'3?

Those are my kitties! Reesee (the striped/swirly one) and Rhubarb (white with some patches:P)! I love them to death! Although, their vet said that they also need to lose a little weight haha:P

Hi! We are both having a June 11th surgery!

Hi! We are both having a June 11th surgery!

I saw a post you made on one of the forums and noticed that you are below your goal weight! Thats amazing. Anyways, I just wanted to friend you because you are an inspiration! My surgery is June 11th!

Hi Penn,

I saw we're both in the June group and also from PA! Where are you getting your surgery? I am living in Philly currently, originally from NEPA. Looking forward to chatting with you!

Hi, I added you as a friend. I'm new to this site and I saw that you're having your band in June also. Also, it looks like we have similar goals (starting out around the same weight and trying to get to the same goal).
