I did it
yay!!! I'm at home now...feeling sleepy and sore. But i made it thanks for everyones support!! (my dr. Is partial to the realize...so that's what i have). -
I go back for my check up in 3 weeks...i dont think i have anything in my band at this point. I do feel full tho...kinda like b4 the band i would over eat and get that feeling that food was just setting there...i kinda feel like that. I'm only taking in about a 1/2 cup of mush 3x's a day. I'm so blown away how the band is working. I am having a lot of back pain tho...and a bad cough...dont know if i have a bug or if it's from being put to sleep. Oh...and i'm having a hard time burping...it's like it rolls up and sometimes it dont come out right away
have you had that problem? -
I have not stepped back on the scales...i'm scared!!
im gonna message some of the bandsters thats farther out than us and see if they had this issue. Got any good recipes? I've tried several things & my fav is pinto beans blended up w/ shreaded cheese. It's the only thing that taste like it should -
I havent felt my stomach growl at all since saturday morning before surgery! That's what i'm finding is so cool! I'm not getting hungry at all (so far)...i'm measuring my food to 1/2 a cup 3x's a day. I did read on someones blog to drink out of a sippy cup...i'm doing that and it is working quite well. No gulping. I was sore today...but thats' what the pain meds are for
today for breakfast i had an egg and a few bites of potatos...it filled me up!! I am amazed at how this "tool" works!! it's great!!! -
Noticed that we are both in Virginia...and about the same start weight. I will be banded January 16, 2010. How are you feeling?
-

-
So what is your goal weight? I have a lot to lose...so i'm setting my first goal at 250
-
thank you so much!!! you just took so much worry away. I didnt wanna sound silly...i just figured it would be my luck that "tha little visitor" would come just in time for my surgery. Thanks again!!!
-
That sure makes me feel better
thanks for the info. I'm down to 310lbs...that's a total of 20pounds down since i started pre-op (started that on jan. 11th...surgery on jan. 16th). I'm starting to lose weight again. How about you? -
Wow! You are losing it! And you will on the liquids much faster. I think i have yahoo im "cartersplus2" is my screen name (i think)

YAY!! Mushies
hahah! I'm stuck at 14 pounds too!!! I'm getting angry cause I dont eat any more than a child! My dr. wants me to push 60-70g protein each day....that is a task. I dont feel like all that protein is allowing me to lose the weight...but i'm gonna keep on it cause thats' what the dr. ordered I'm hoping I will wake up and hop on the scales and be down another 10lbs It was falling off like magic the first few days...are you having this problem?? -
Yay!! we are bandsters!!
Just think about all that weight loss to come!! I get so excited just thinking about what i'm gonna look like! Now my dr. has me starting out on blended foods...I was on liquids the day b4 surgery and right after surgery. Alrighty...I'm back to walking around the house...dont wanna set too long 
Best of luck to ya!! -
Yeah...i said cravings
i gotta lose 13 more pounds to be under 300...i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've tried the chewing thing too...and had no probs w/ it. I bet spaghetti would taste a lot better that way..haha -
Yeah...i will have to try that. Glad to hear that i'm not the only one w/ the burp problem
it's really not a biggy...just different. How much longer you have on liquids? I bet that's getting tuff hugh? But at the same time i bet you have lost more weight -
Your gonna be so busy at your consultation you wont even realize it's all day
dont forget the blood work...that's tha fun part jk...i hate that! But it is exciting knowing that your that much closer to your band my hubby found me some calcium chews w/ the vitamin d today (they are caramel) yummo! So far no sickness!!! I'm finding that my most favorite meal is blended pinto beans w/ cheese! Whatever i try to eat just dont taste the same when you have to blend it...haha...but the beans just remind me of mexican...and i love me some mexican food!!! Hahaha! Well...keep me posted on your consultation! We gonna cheer eachother on -
Your menu sounds just like mine
i found some ground chicken in the grocery store...i tried that in my spaghetti....pretty good i've even had chicken alfrado! That's not so bad in the blender..haha! Yeah...i'm sticking to about a half cup....i'm starting to eye-ball it now. I'm getting full when i eat...i think it's all the protein? I'm finding that i'm craving stuff now...you doing that? I have a big craving for mexican now so the closest thing i can come up with is blended pintos w/ cheese and a tbsp of salsa haha. Close enough to satisfy me for now. I dont think i have anything in my band...they didnt tell me either way. But if i take a bite too much i feel it! And i feel like i had just ate my thanksgiving dinner (when i've only had a little mush). I did get on the scales today and i lost that pound i gained...so i'm hoping im on the down hill slope now. I wanna be under 300 by feb. 1st.
