Thank you!! Aug 14th will be a year and it feels like it was just yesterday... =(

Hello there Ms Venegirl1. I been doing okay I guess!! A lot has been going on… in the brain!! Aug 14th will be exactly 1 year that my little sister has passed away, so just kind of been down and out not really wanting to do much of anything (like exercising) so my weight loss has slowed down. I am currently down 27 pounds in total and I been stuck at that for like a month!!!

I have to just get it together so I can start to lose weight again!!

32 pounds WOW that is awesome good for you!!! Keep up the good work!!

I know what you mean!! I had my first fill last week on the 1st and supposedly I have 2cc in my band right now, but I tell you can’t feel any restriction whatsoever. I stick to my ? cup servings like the nutritionist tells me how to, but I find myself eating and picking at stuff cause I get hungry!!!

Hello, so your 3 weeks out!! How are you feeling?

hey girlie what's up? How are you doing?

Hey you, well what can i say it is going!!! So i got my first fill on Tuesday only 1cc so I still feel no restriction... kinda disapointed in myself too i gained 2 pound from the last time i went to the doctor... but i am back down been busting my butt working out and sticking strickly to the way we are suppose to eat!!! I gotta say i was a little ashame but the holiday cook out is what messed me up!! oh well back on track!! So for total weight loss since my first appointment is 25 pounds...

Thanks for the request....

i get my fill june 1........ i know about liq diet that was hard my mouth was watery the whole time!!! lol

i know what you mean living off soft foods, i did also cause i was afraid to eat, but i been over that now ha ha. So i can pretty much eat anything, and it is scary cause i feel i have no restriction at all unless i don't chew my food right. So just watching what i eat and making sure i don't go over 1/2 cup of food but i still feel very hungry after i am done, so i find my self like dragging my bites so my food will last longer. oh i can't wait till i get my fill!!!

yes it did go away thank God because i was kind of getting scared!!

So how are you doing with the food stages and what stage are you at now?

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
