Hi Setta,

How are things going? How are you doing these days? I'm going for my second fill today with the nurse and no xray. I'm a little worried as I have heard some horror stories, but on the upside, I can fill exactly where my port is, so I hope it is easier for her to poke. I have not lost any more weight since my last fill...it is really hard. The nutritionist is telling me 1/2 cup of food per meal and that is not working. I would starve if I stuck with that. I've been trying to follow WW and a low carb diet at the same time. I'm down about 15 lbs total since surgery.

Hi Setta,

I'm feeling pretty good these days. I get my first fill on 4/16. You are doing really well with the weight loss I'm starting my regular exercise program today....at least 35 minutes of something. The nurse told me today to leave the protein shakes alone for a while...I can drink one of the day of my fill. I have one more week of mushy and then I start regular foods. For Easter, I plan to go to church and have me some sort of mushy meal for dinner, I guess. What are you planning for Easter?

Wow..you must have lost a lot on the pre-op diet...I only lost 3 lbs on pre-op and 10 lbs since surgery. I am scheduled for my first fill on April 16. What are you eating these days? I'm on mushy for one more week, then back to regular foods. I'm back to my ole self also, in fact I'm feeling pretty good. My clothes are fitting better, so I'm happy. Happy Easter to you too!

Hi Setta,

Nic pic How are you doing? Haven't touched basis with you in a while. Are you enjoying the band yet? Are you on mushy yet? What are you eating? I'm having a hard time figuring out what else to eat. I've been eating tuna, canned chicken, yogurt and oatmeal. I'm really too scared to try much of anything else....the ones I mentioned go down pretty good, but I'm sure I'll be tired of eating that soon. My last weigh in (Sunday) I was down 13 lbs....I hear the 1 lb a day is over once we start mushy It was nice while it lasted. Tomorrow I go for my 2 wk followup Dr. appt.

Hi Setta,

All is well with me. I'm feeling about 90% of my former self. I've been having regular BMs all week. I'm still having regular gas pains in my tummy and shoulder pain. I was thinking maybe I'm becoming lactose intolerant as they always seem to kick up whenever I drink a shake. Last night I was trying to eat a yogurt and I had the worse gas pains kick in that I couldn't have but a couple of spoonsfull. I start the mushy today...yippee!.

O.k...tomorrow is the big day. For some reason I am calm...LOL. I even feel like I can go to sleep tonight...this is weird. Good luck tomorrow and God bless.

Yes, March 18th is the day. Are you nervous, excited or scared? I am all of the above. I'm sure I'll be doing an all nighter on Wednesday.
