5 Days post op - very light headed and weak
Poor thing! I think everyone says that at first, but in a few weeks you will feel better...I'm not sure about the light headedness...maybe you should call the doc! Just keep drinking the protein and take it ease! Hope you feel better

Hey girl! Gl You are going to loe it! If I were you I would get to the store and buy the stuff you need now, so you don't have to worry about it after the hospital. And remember to buy lots of different flavors of yogurt and pudding and soups or you will start to get tired of them Keep of posted

This band has a mind of it's own!
Also...and this is key for me...anytime my kids cry or I am stressed the band gets SUPER TIGHT!!! I almost always throw up if I am eating..so now I dont eat in stressful situations or until the kids are being good...lol

This band has a mind of it's own!
I feel so bad...I have had the band almost 1 1/2 and I have learned some stuff...Not sure if it will help but hope it does! This is what has helped me because I was the same way! I am super tight in the morning to the point where I dont eat till like 2 in the afternoon but then I am so hungry and the band is dry i eat and get stuck and barf...SO!!! In the morning now I drink some water or crystal light or non fat milk and then eat some cereall! even if i dont want to i do...and then that helps me to losen up and make me want to eat throughout the day...If you dont eat you wont lose!!! Hope that helped! Take care and keep us updated!

Did I really do this? No U-turns on this journey!
It will get better!!!! It will it will it will! I PROMISE! See me myself I was Christmas shopping at Walmart/ Costco/ and Target the day I came home from the hospital, but I had AWFUL mood swings! It was bad lol my husband told me that it was worse then when I was 9 months pregnant! LOL but once you can eat again and get a fill...you are going to feel a lot better...and once the scale starts moving you are really going to feel good good luck and keep us posted! PS I love mexican girl you will be able to eat nachos and refried beans and taco salads and crispy tacos...I can do anything as long as there is no (unfried) tortilla or rice

How to save $13 dollars a week
Hello So I had a wonderful idea...I have been going to weight watchers since Jan (and have lost 26lbs) because I started to slack a little and need the motivation and the accountability...On the other hand I have the band and know what I need to do...and Weight Watchers is $13 a wk and we are trying to save to buy a house! So anyways I was thinking that I would weigh in every Thursday and post it on here as a blog just so I know that someone will see it and it will keep me in check! I hope no one minds ....SEE YOU NEXT THURSDAY!!! 1st Thursday weight 176.8

The question everyone avoids to answer... or at least of all the threads I have read..
Hey girl My doc said none...but I think its the whole calorie thing...I do wine 1-2 glasses every once and awhile and im DONE!!! LIKE BLASTED! lol it is sooooo great! During the world series I got bold and tried a vodka and cranberry and it burned my pouch soooo bad ...and then it make me throw up (and i used to DRINK) so try wine....lol and have fun....ps i was banded dec 2009 and have never even tried anything with bubbles....just me though

202...uggg!!!
Hi all! I am happy to say that I am down 66 pounds, but not happy to say that I am stuck at 202! It has been two weeks and nothing. I want to break 200 so bad I can taste it!!! LOL Hopefully I will be posting soon with a scale pic of 199 or lower! Wish me luck as a start to step it up...I guess I am going to have to start exercising. I hate to admit it, but I haven't done any of it since I have been banded.
