After surgery I was losing 1 pound a day. About 5wks after I had done lost 26lbs. My doctor told me he rather I lost fast in the beginning because your band with adjust and your weight will slow down. Please don't count on weight loss anyway. You some people lose inches. The scale is just numbers.

You look great. That picture is awesome. Good job keep up the good work. Love your determination. :scared2:

great job you look awesome :scared2: Keep up the good work

Please don't give up. The purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink your liver. Don't look at the numbers on the scale because, you are losing inches; look at how your clothes are fitting verses looking at the numbers on the scale. Take it one day at a time. Don't beat yourself up for falling off. just get back up and start again. You are human and need a little more motivation and will power. You are not going through all this for nothing. You've come too far to give up now. Get back up. Please visit my web page. www.myra-smith.blogspot.com :scared2:

Ok it sounds like you are having a lot of gas. Are you walking. YOu have to move and walk to get it all out. It's going to take up to a few weeks everyone is different. Also it's a good idea to try a different medication for gas. gas X just may work. Good Luck

Onederland is a BIG DEAL congrats keep up the good work:thumbup:

Thanks Brad for the encouragement

Hi all Synthroid is suppose to increase your weight loss. Question Are you taking it on an empty stomach with water and waiting at least 30min to an hour before you eat. If not it's not going to work. I also suppose to be taking synthroid. I haven't taken it since surgery. I need to start taking it again. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi I am an ICU nurse and I went back to work 9 days after surgery. My co workers new about my surgery and they wouldn't even allow me to lift anyone. We usually work good together and everyone is good at helping. Especially the night shift. :seeya:

You are not a failure you are still human. It's okay to treat yourself every now and then but don't over do it. Consider this a treat. I had a ice cream cake for my birthday last night. I was aware of it. It was the 1st time I ate the wrong thing since surgery. But I'm not beating myself up about it. I just got up and went to a zumba class to work it off. Just like someone mentioned earlier tomorrow is another day and pick up from there. :seeya: P.S. I don't blame you for eating those biscuits they are sooooooo good I would have did the same thing.

Hi there Alexandra don't worry this seems to be normal expecially the 5th day. I felt like that and several other people that got there band on the same day felt depressed about 5th and 6th day. My husband tried everything he possibly could he drove me around, he kept me occupied for the rest of the day. Then I felt better the next day. I know it is a horrible feeling I just wanted to cry. Hang in there it will pass.

Good to here everyone is doing good Keep up the good work. Remember to exercise.
