Thank you all!! I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this feeling. I actally have an appt in the AM and I'm hoping for a fill and possibly a meeting with the nutritionist. I did read about that 5 day pouch test I may need to try it. I'm also curious about the hypnosis did you guys find it helpful?

I am 2 year post op I lost 70lbs and gained 30 back. I work full time and recently started back at school so I don't have much time to workout like I was. And my diet is all over the place. Has anyone else has this issue? If so how did you get back on track.

I had my initial consultation 6/09 and my surgery was 8/09 good luck on your new journey

Hello all I'm almost 4 months post op and I have lost 40lbs so far. But I haven't exercised @ all yet :-( I can only imagine how much weight I might have lost had I exercised. I also work full time and have a baby to take care of when I get home. How do you busy moms find time to exercise? I desperatly need advise lol or maybe some helpfull tips.

Hi lil missy I was down 26lbs @ 6 weeks pot op....I don't see how someone won't loose on the post op diet lol

Has or does anyone drink enery drinks?

Not only th burping but for me its horrible heartburn to. Its the worst.

I have a block pary today let's hope I stick to my liquids/mushies lol

Oh ok that's good for future refrence thanx.

I'm 2 weeks post-op and just curious how long did you guys wait to have a drink? I'm sure its too soon just curious?

Can't wait for my first fill. Keep us all posted. Good Luck!!!

Oh wow I didn't know they do it there. I was banded on 8/27 (tomorrow makes 2 weeks) @ Jeans. WOW you only have a few days left I bet your excited.

Hi Romain where are you geting banded?

Just curious if anyone lives or was banded in Philadelphia?

Best of luck on your new journey!!!! Take it easy.

My doctor told me 4-6 weeks because our ports are muscle under the skin, that's why it hurts after surgery. By lifting something heavy too soon we can pop a stich. Its hard because I have an 8 month old but thank God I have help.

Sounds Yummy!!!

That's true NJBOUNCER....I'm just afraid of slippage during this heling stage....its sooooo hard :thumbup:

Mango fish how did you feel after eating the pizza? Were you uncomfortable or did you feel ok? And its that guys lost don't beat yourself up.

Hi aly.smoot I've cheated my self did any thing happen as a result of you cheating? Are you losing like you should?

Thank you all for the words of wisdom and motivation. It really is strange how some people go on mushies right away and some of us gotta wait 2 weeks. I haven't had a meal in 4 & 1/2 weeks I guess 1 more week shouldn't be a big deal.

Well I appreciate your two cents lol....I wish I wasn't hungry yet.

I'm so angry with myself. I'm 10 days post-op and did great with my pre-op liquid only diet all 3 weeks of it (never cheated) but post-op I've had 2 bites of meat on 3 seperate ocasions. I just feel horrible that I did it. Especially liquids only post-op is crucial. Anyone do the same anything bad happen?

mfl552...I have a week to go to and I'm dying for mushies lol but we can do it.

Thanks guys...I feel beter now.
