HI I just read the post you placed on jkpenny and i am in the same boat. I was banded on Sept 30th and in the 1st 2 weeks i lost about 15lbs but once they gave me go ahead to eat solids/mushy food, and i healed; the weight loss has practically stopped and i am feeling hungry faster. I have my fist fill on the 19th. So i am trying to take it easy on the food, drinking lots of water and staying away from halloween candy and breads especially since i have heared that those came really cause problems once you have a fill. So now am waiting and counting down the days till the fill.

Good luck with your journey!

wow 25 lbs that is great!!! i have noticed that one week i will loose and the next nothing... i have tried hard not to become obsessed with the scale. i look more to how my clothes are fitting. i have not excesised at all..well i am not counting running behind 3 small kids

keep it up!!

great to hear you so Up beat...congrats with the contracts!!! If you dont mind me asking, what type of music are you in to?

well it had been 20 days and i am so happy that i can eat mushy/wet food now. the liquid dieat was very hard for me since 80% on it was on the sweet (shakes, jello, pudding...ect) i eas craving salty so bad!! I have really noticed a difference in my eating..I am so scare of having something stuck that i i chewing like crazy and keeping a journal . i am "trying" to get the protein in but i think it is an inpossible goal to get 70-80 grams of it a day. I was also told to keep my calorie intoke in the rage of 800-1200 per day. SO far i am ranging about 900 and i have lost a total of 13lbs.

how are you doing???

Hello.. how are you??

Well i am 4 days post op and it has not been easy since the moment i woke up from surgery. The surgeon found a Hernia that he had to repair before even starting the LAbabd part.. I was in a lot of pain and supper bloated. Once home i had to deal with 3 very curious kids wanting to see my Boo Boos and hating that i can not lift them up or let them sit on my lap. SO for tha last 2 days have been in my room...Oh and all 3 kids have a cold!!

My pain right now is a 5...with meds. what bothers me the most how bloated i feel and the pain/pressure i feel on my back and shoulder area.

I do not regret anything... in 4 days i have lost 4 lbs. So far i dont miss food, i am trying my best to drink what i need and to walk.

I need all the support i can get..

Thanks
