Susan
I was banded 8-3-09. LOL I weighted 208 as well. I'm 5'2". And your doing quite well compared to me. I'm down 43 pounds. I have 40 more to go to my goal.
I too got rid of all my fat clothes. I was afraid that having them I would go back to them.
This way I refuse to buy a bigger size. Only smaller.
I have Wii fit and got bored with it to today my hubby bought me the Biggest Looser. I'm telling you just 1/2 an hour today and I'm feeling it! =)
Please stay in touch!

Great news!
I was a little slow at getting started. But I'm 171# today! I think I am at my sweet spot. I eat approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup per meal. Usually something easy. I tried scrambled egg today, and it is NOT my friend!
I'm still learning. I'm so glad I went through with this. I am hoping to reach my goal by my 40th birthday which is in October.
-
I'm sorry your having to deal with these things....
Personally my marriage is still very stable....and behind the scene I feel better about myself!
I'm willing to listen if you just need to vent!
-
Now that its warmer in my area I've started walking. and my poor lil fat beagle is adjusting well!
-
I have noticed that everyday is different. What I ate yesterday I may not tolerate tomorrow. I vomit, well not vomit but productive belch at least every day. I'm still learning to chew...this is the first adjustment I've acutally had restriction!
-
I don't excercise as per "go to the gym, run 5 miles". But I don't lay around either. I am a House wife /mom of older teens. My husband is on the road 10 days at a time.
I watch what I eat...I don't lay and eat bon bons...but yes I have an occasional kiddy cone from DQ and a random cup cake. I know thats horrible but I do cheat!
Your right the slower it comes off the better chance we have in it staying off. I just get so fustrated. If I wanted to diet or could do it by diet I wouldn't have had the dang band done!!
-
I have pretty much the same restrictions as you Susan. bread of any kind, (muffins, bagles, toast). I too eat a lot of Soup and oatmeal. I can't eat nuts, like a handful of walnuts, almonds Nope! meat isn't an issue. But NO steak. I do alot of ground chicken/turkey. NO fish...it gets stuck.
I'm down approximately 23-24 pounds. I get so discouraged. I've been at this weight since December. minus 1 or 2 here and there.
Its just such a slow process. I feel like I'm all alone but I see your right here with me!

I was banded in August and I'm down a total of 20 pounds.
I had my second and last fill on Oct 27. I've not lost but maybe 2 pounds since then.
I am hungery. I don't tolerate any form of bread well at all, I feel as if I'm choking to death.
Am I too tight already. . . or do I need a fill. I've got a total of 3.5cc:confused:
-
My first fill today too. . and I also got 3cc. . . I had 'wendy's' chili for dinner and was well satisfied witha small.
-
I got my first fill today. 3cc in a 10 cc band. It was not any more painful than giving blood for blood work pre op.
He suggested liquids for 2 days and mushies for 2 days. then regular diet afterwards. He also said I could do Diet Dew in moderation if I like and a straw! Dang I love this man!!
I did have 'wendy's" chili for dinner. . . .and was well satisfied with the small!
-
I had the same burning except for when lying down. It was warm to the touch and red. . . DH even mentioned maybe infection. . . but all the sudden it was fine! Skin is still dry and scratchy. . . I keep lotion on it!
-
I woke up in the night with horrible pain under my left bottom rib. . . if I don't move its okay. Could it be gas under my diaphram??
I'm not having hunger, but WOW i'm bored with the liquids. I have ventured off to pudding, Jello, scrambled egg and cottage cheese. . . . becoming bored with that now.
Maybe mashed potatoes for supper? that sounds amazing right about now.
I too wondered about the DAN DEE cheese curls that we fed to our toddlers, the ones that turn to mush at the site of moisture? Has anybody else tried this?
I also have a diet dew turning flat as we speak. . . I just want to chew. . .
-
I was banded 8/3 In Pittsburgh PA. I am still VERY sore. . . I'm thinking I'm just a sissy! Or I expected to be 'normal' within 3 days. NO hunger, but I have some gas pains right under the breast bone.
I'm very thirsty. . . I just want to chug Water. I know that's a NO NO and I've resisted. I'm bored with the liquids and got permission from the Dr for cottage cheese. . .that was fine for today. . .but I"m wanting crackers for my soup! I know I'm whining!!
-
I really don't want sweets. . . i just want something savory something to chew. . . I don't know if I can do another 10 days of liquids. . . .
Have others cheated?

Hello Carol
I was banded on Monday are you in much pain. . .still taking pain meds? Am I being a sissy?
-
I think your making amazing progress
-
I only told my husband, daughter, sons and a very few friends. . . until after surgery then I shared with others. I belive my mother was possibly the last to know
-
I'm feeling better every day. . . I'm still taking pain meds about every 4 hours. . . maybe I'm just totally a sissy. but where the port is its really sore.
I honestly have no hunger. . . but i keep drinking my liquids. I would like to have a little texture though!
-
I'm Carrie and I was banded on Aug 3rd. . . I'm 2 days post op now! YAY

Thank you to everybody!!
I just am afraid that I'll be the one that looses 20# in a year. . . the one that nobody will ever notice. Or it will take a year to hit my sweet spot!
I'm just starting to freak out. I had a nightmare last night that I woke up from surgery two times bigger than I am now!
-
right now I just want to order pizza, have a diet Dew and watch a movie. .. . that would make me feel better
-
Thank you! I know I've gone over the before and after picture thread a billion times!
Discouraging friends anyone?

I too am a slow looser. I'm just over a year and down 43 pounds. 40 to go. I get lots of negative feed back as well. But I now have come to realize they can kiss my a$$.
I felt this was the right for me. Thankfully I have a Sister in Law and a very good friend on this journey with me. They both have lost over 100# and look amazing.
Way to go bansters!!
