Hi Sue, I haven't been on this site in a while. How are you doing? My weight loss had stopped for a good month or so but I take responsibility for that for not making wise choices. The good news is that none of the weight has come back on!!! Any other time it would have. Anyway, I'm back on track and finally just lost 3 lbs this week. Got back to exercising too. Hope all is well with you.

Hello...My name is Sue and I live in Salem, Oregon. I was banded on Nov. 5 2009 at OHSU in Portland. Most important things to remember....my friend. Your only a few weeks out, your body is changing, as well as your thought process. Going from 2.2 cc's to 4 is more than what alot of Doctors are willing to do, so you are ahead of the program. OHSU only goes .5ccs. Make sure you get as much protein as you can daily, at this point I would think at least 50 grams. It helps with your hunger and reduces your bodys stress. I buy UNJURY on line, unjury.com. It is medically the best you can buy and tastes the best also. Go there right now, in fact if you would like I have some unflavored I would give you. Also some Chicken Soup flavor. You can add it to anything to boost the protein. Add it to broth or mashed potatoes, your milk. It can't be added to anything that is over 130 degrees cause it turns grainy, so just heat hot things to that. You should be sipping at all times except 15 minutes before, during, and 15 minutes after eating. Try to fill your stomach with fluids before you sit down to eat. Than take SMALL sips of your protein drink. It should take you at least 15-20 minutes to finish. That way your brain can actually register you ate something. Don't wait so long before meals, you don't want to get to the "hungry as a wild animal" lol. This is NOT a Quick Fix process, you want the weight to come off slow, about 6 lbs. a month. It gives your metabolisum time to reset. MOVE, MOVE MOVE! exercise makes EVERYTHING better! I don't mean to come off as a drill sargent, sorry if you take it that way. But you must take baby steps, your changing your Life Style. Make sure your kind to yourself, be positive in your thinking. Your a good person and this forum is your best connection to people who are or have experienced what you are right now. Use us, we want you to succeed! Blessings, Sue Ps. If you would like to hear more, just let me know. Also OHSU has free classes for lapband, so check out their website.

Hi Judy........Just read your new blog. The Carribean wow! What a wonderful trip. I am jealous lol. Isn't it great to go through your closet and actually fit into clothes you loved. I won't have to shop to much for a while myself. Have a GREAT time and ENJOY EVERY MINUTE!!!!!
The headache was from the gases rising in my body. I'm doing great, and feeling wonderful. Just had an injection in my hip, and it has made a major difference. I hired a personal trainer and am concentrating on my hip fat lol. That's where I carry most of my weight unfortunately. I need to be the best I can because I am considered high risk. I have an auto-ammune factor and my skin has a hard time healing. I'm ready to GO!!!!Blessings,
Sue

I'm glad all went well. I'm sorry about the migraine, thats no good. Hopefully you breeze through the postop diet! My journey goes well. Since I didn't get my fill I'm working really hard and watching what I eat. I'm still losing, just at a slower rate. But I'd rather lose slowly than gain!
