Good luck tomorrow, buddy!

I only have had 1 fill, back in Jan. I went last week and he wouldn't give me another because I had lost 11lbs in a month. He said I could come back next Friday I felt I needed another before my next appointment, but it looks like I lost 2lbs this week, so I probably will just wait.

Looks like you're doing great!

Hi there! I see Dr. Rosen too....how are things going for you?

Hey Leigha! I'm doing pretty good. Just wish "Aunt Flo" would leave...been here over 2 weeks! But, I've been told that's not uncommon with sudden weight loss. But things finally seem to be moving along and I made my first goal, finally under 300 lbs! Haven't been this small in at least 10 years, probably longer! So I'm pretty stoked. I still don't have good restriction, I have no problem eating anything, but I haven't really been hungry...kinda tired of thinking about food! I see my surgeon this afternoon, and hopefully will get my 2nd fill!

How are you....looks like you're about half way to goal...that's awesome!

Hi. I have Dr. Rosen too. How are things going?

But, good job on the 16lbs! That's great! I'm told it will come off even more quickly once we get filled, so I'm looking forward to it. Plus, right now, I feel so easily tempted! Pizza and wanting something crunchy are my biggest temptations. I have to admit I've let temptation get the best of me a couple times, but fortunately I've kept it to a nibble here and there! I'm still getting full pretty quickly even though I haven't had a fill yet, but it's hard not being able to eat on the same schedule & the same things as the rest of the family! Whoever said surgery was the easy way out needs to be smacked, right!

Keep in touch!

Hey there!

Yes, I was banded 12/22. I feel a lot better this week, still not 100% though. I'm still really sore around my port area when I bend or move the wrong way. And I hate having to sleep on my back. But everyday is getting better! I'm actually going to try to get back on my treadmill for a slow walk and lift my light weights tomorrow morning. And I have my first post-op visit Monday afternoon. My doctor is 3 hours away, so that will be a nice drive...hope it doesn't snow!!

I've lost about 10 lbs since surgery day. I seemed to stop losing when I began eating mushies on Wed. I haven't been eating much, I'm blaming it on being on my period, which came super early and ticked me off, lol. I get to eat soft food next Wed, then on to solid the week after. I can't imagine being on liquids and purees for an additional 4 weeks! So, I bet you are pretty frustrated! I was after the 2 week pre-op and 1 week liquids after! Did you have to do a liquid pre-op too? (cont'd)
