I am glad that your doing great!!! I think i might of cheated also with the soups too instead of broth... ha ha ha oh well it was tough!! I am also doing great althought today i kind i woke up with with a weird pain/discomfort around my port area.... I hope it goes away =/ I am suppose to get a fill on 6/1 i can't wait because I feel I have no restriction what so ever and I been keeping myself under control with my food intake but I do get very hungry just eating 1/2 cup at a time. So I make sure i do take my protein shakes 2-3 a day on top of 3 1/2 cup meals..

hello, just wondering how you're doing and how your surgery went? looking forward to hearing from you

Well for my meals i do make healthy food choices, and as for my protein intake i make sure that every meal i have has some type of protein, so that does include 2 protein shakes a day, but if i don't drink my shakes i get tempted to eat more during my meals... i feel i have no restriction though so i cant wait till i get a fill. My weight is still the same for past two weeks i also workout 3 x a week on the elliptical for 30 min and do weights as well... so that is why i am getting a little discourage...so will see i am hanging in there!!

Happy late mothers day!! omg i don't want to say it has been hell, but i just kind feel i have no restriction and i have been getting very hungry with only eating 1/2 cup of food at a time.. My next doc. appointment is on 6/1... can't wait!!

Well that is a little comforting to know because i also get that pain more in the morning... That is awesome 22 pounds!!! i am down a total of 24 pounds but i feel that i have been on a stand still since i got the band and i have only lost like 4 pounds since surgery...

I am doing great!! There is one thing though that i notice the area around my big incision feels numb and and i am starting to get sharp burning pain coming from my bellybutton. I went to the doctor he said that was normal and it was muscle spasims so who knows i just hope they go away soon!! It doesn't last a long time, but it is annoying if anything.

How are you doing? Just checking on you!!! I am doing great loving the band!!!!

thanks for the add, you look great!! how long have you been banded?

Hello

I have a question my belly kinda looks deformed I am 1 week post op does anyone else have this issue?

omg i bet that was awful i am so scared of that i have a friend that has the band and does not eat the way she should i think she gave up on herself and she tells me scary stories which makes me stick to how ever (doctors) they tell me to eat.. so far since i started my journey i am down 24 pounds since the band i am only down 4 pounds which i would have thought it would be more but i think my body is getting use to the way i am drinking only liq for the past 3 weeks... Need to give my body a little shock so hopefully when i start puree food tomorrow it will speed up... not trying to rush anything though i am fine going at a slow pace...

Hi NewMrs. Smith, just thinking about and you!!! How are you doing? How was surgery?

i was on liq for 2 weeks only and i tell u it was crazy!!! Do you get to eat a sensible dinner at least?

As of yet it hasn't been hard or a challenge with food if that is what you mean, and maybe because of my fear of the band. I have cooked for my family and it does not tempt me at all. Sat. i start puree foods so i am excited about that.

Thanks for the add.. and good luck to you on your pre opt diet that is probably the hardest part knowing you can eat it cuz you don't have the band yet but once you have it on you think twice...

hello, I am doing pretty well just a little sore also i can wait till my lungs don't hurt when i breath wonder if that is normal??? Good for you 15 pounds that is great!!! No i haven't started on soft food, i sure can't wait though!!! i can imagine your fright of eating certain foods i have had nightmares that i could not swallow food in my dreams because i was too scared.. lol

hello jessiap, i am doing pretty well just a little sore but that is it. Thank you for asking, truly can't wait for stage 2 food wise!!

so far so good!!! thanks for asking so when are you getting banded?

Hi girlie, I am actually feeling real good today!! I am 4 days out Sorry to hear that your date was postponed but it was probably for the best of your health. I hope your doing better!!! So when is you new date?

Yeah i feel it is too much too even at the hospital they wanted me to drink 4 ounce of water in one hour... I can't it is way to much... So i just drink what i can tolerate...

That is great (9 pounds) congrats... and how are you feeling?

Hi, thanks for asking my surgery went fine and i realized that walking helps with the gas pains, but the only thing that i am tripping about is that my stomach it looks freak n deformed. i hope it goes back the way it was!!! I also have a hard time with drinking the protein I am suppose to drink 3-4oz of protein every hour...

I know i will do great I have my mind set and i also know it is not going to be easy but getting focus i know i will be okay!!! thank you. Right now i am in a little pain and i am only drinking as much as i could but it is pretty hard to do that...cause of fear or because i am full i really can't tell yet!!!
