Hi there, I am doing great! I am down 20 pounds now and feeling fabulous. It has been a slow process but I am extremely thankful to be going down rather than up. I have soo much energy now, its just the most amazing feeling! I just got a new blender so I am anxious to see what I can whip up in that puppy! How are you doing?

Hi there, thank you for the compliment, that was nice of you to say. The pictures I have posted are those of me when I was thinner.. they are my motivation lol. I have lost about 20 pounds so far and am about 227lbs now. I was about 175 in my pictures and that is my goal weight.

Hi there. I am feeling better now after a day of liquids. I think I was swollen from the week before and didn't take a step back to let it get back to normal. I had my fill a couple weeks beforehand and was fine with it until recently. I've also had heartburn a lot lately and I have an appointment scheduled for next week and will decide if I will have her take some out or not.

To date I have lost about 15 pounds total. I'm a slow loser and have not been working out like I should, I will admit it. I go through spurts of kicking butt and then needing a break. It's not a good thing to do but as long as I am losing, slow or not, I am happy.

Yeah that is weird to feel that pain behind your breast bone, I wonder what that is? You havent had that feeling since?

I did have some discomfort at port site but now I dont feel it at all, as if I never had the surgery. Im curious what the fill will feel like, or if we will feel it at all, I wonder if there is any pain that comes with it.

Wow, I cant believe how long it will be before your fill! My first post-op appt was August 10th, only 6 days after surgery and they scheduled my fill 4 weeks after that. Hopefully your fill will be scheduled soon after your first appt... I know this procedure it meant to be a slower process but its still makes me antsy to get moving!

Hi there, sorry I didnt respond sooner, I have been out of town and just got home. I feel great, I honestly dont feel like I have a band! I have zero restriction and am able to eat pretty much anything. I am down a few pounds but was starving and my doc said to eat what I can and not to worry about losing weight this first month post-op. He said its more important to heal than worry about the weight-loss. Good for you for losing 18 pounds, I wish I was down that much!! My first fill is September 10th and I cannot wait to have some restriction!! I definitely need it to lose weight. Do you feel any restriction when you eat? Do you have any discomfort at your port site?

Hi there, I am feeling great! Sorry I didnt respong sooner, Ive been out of town for a while. Yes, my gas pains went away, I did a lot of walking and the next day they were gone. I feel normal now and am able to eat anything, I have zero restriction so I am looking forward to getting my fill on September 10th, I cant wait!!! As far as exercising, I walk my dog several times a day so I do get a lot of walking in and I also bought an elliptical machine but have not used it much since my surgery. Now that I am home and am feeling all healed up I will jump on that a couple times a day and do that for 5-10 mins at a time till I get in better shape and can do it longer. I will be sure to join your blog and follow you!
