congrates ...keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how you feel I have been working out at least 1 hour 5 times a week and have been feeling so good, today I just had this great feeling of happiness...so glad I decided to get banded!!!!

I am feeling the same way as well, I had 1st fill on 1/8 called today to set up 2nd fill on 2/1 I have been sure to stop myself when I know I have had enough but I never seem to have that full feeling.....good luck ,you should give the Dr a call and set up 2nd fill

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.:confused:

Good luck on your journy...I am 6 weeks in and have lost 38 since the pre-op diet and have some of the same goals...I am going on vacation and seeing some family in March who have not seen me in a yr so I do not want to disappoint. I have been sort of stuck at 38 pound loss for a bit now and need a push, calling today for another fill!!Good luck to you!!!!!

Cleaning works wonders...I go through every drawer, straighten out the closets, and lately try clothes on that haven't fit in a while and get rid of the big stuff..good times!!!!

I think this is so true of most of us here , it's the reason we got to where we are! Over the last month my husband and I have had to find other ways to entertain ourself, we've gone to movies,played board games, stayed at a local hotel w/pool and hot tub and sone some dancing.....it has saved us a bit of money not dinning out or buying crap to snack on at night!!! I am so glad to have made this change I feel so much better only 1 month in!!!!!!!

wish I lived closer so I could attend!!

Don't look at it as a failure...a failure would have been giving up forever on your self....it is just a minor set back....jump back in and tell yourself daily I can do this I am stronger then the food...I WILL DO THIS!!!!!!

Good luck...you'll be so happy you did!!! I was banded on 12/9 and have lost 36 since my pre-op diet and couldn't be any happpier.....so I wish you the best on beginning your venture!!!!

You will feel better soon...I am 4 weeks out and still have tenderness at the port site it gets better...I will say my recovery seemed to drag on also...the hunger came back for me as well...I did get my first fill on Friday and will try some solid foods today, we'll see how that goes...good luck and hang in there
