Awww im sorry you are sore. It will get better in about a week. Are you having bad shoulder pain?? I am good I go in for my first fill in 1 week. I got my period and my weight is higher right now and i am mucho bloated but before the period I was at 243 which puts total weight loss at 32 lbs so far. How many incisions do you have? How long until your first fill?

That is awsome.. But I know how you feel becasue when you first get the surgery and you are shedding 1-3 lbs a day and you go from 1-3 lbs a week it is very frustrating. i am addicted to weighing myself. i know it is not healthy but it is my motivation to shy away from the bread and sweets. I will flip if my doc says no fill, I mean what did I get cutr open for idf not to have more restriction. Even 1-3 cc would be great. Try kaschi my doc recommended that brand they make cereal frozen entrees and bars. It is high in protein and has low calories and great veggies and very tasty easy to make. Yea 100 lbs in a year is awsome..

Yea i kinda fell off the planet after surgery for a little while I havent even posted any new pics but total I have lost 30 lbs and I am eating about 1 1/2 cups too, i cant wait for my retriction to kick in. I work 8-5 m-f so we could do a weekend. have you tried alcohol yet? Good job on the 34 lbs do you feel it yet??

Hey girl how are you doing?? have you had your first fill yet? Mine is August 4th. I have no restriction right now it is all on me but I am still losing about 1/2 a pound a day but when I started eating solids again I went up 7 lbs... If you have had your first fill do you have restriction? How much did he put in? Hope all is well....

How has it been since your first fill, I have litte to no restriction right now so I am just trying to eat lots of fish chicken and veggies and no sweets very little bread also but I lose about the same weight as you. Hopefully it speeds up after my first fill 8/4...

I am doing really well I have lost an additional 20 lbs since surgery and eating solids agin thank GOD.... You will do great on the liquid diet it is hard but worth it. You will heal faster after surgery if you stick to the liquid diet and it will help you adjust to the new eating plan....

thanks it was great I have lost an additional 20 lbs.... I am eating solids and doing great. I am on my way to healthy how are you doing??

hey you are so cute. It looks like we are around the same shape and size. My surgery is on 6/22 next Tuesday. Any tips would be helpful. Good luck on your progress.

Thanks it is really hard and you have to make fun of yourself to keep your spirits up. But One week from today until my surgery and I am so excited. How far into the process are you???

Yea i know my pre-op is tomorrow. How much have you lost so far and are you getting tired of liquids yet?? we do need to start a get together I am joining that group too. Hope all is well.

hey congrats on the weightloss. I cant wait for that to be me. But i told my husband i posted some pictures of myself on here and he came up with your pictures and he swore up and down that you were me and he was like I dont rememember that night. So I thought I would drop by and say hi twin lookin good.

Hey I know it feels like it has been forever... I mean it felt like ages since the last time we spoke to h and k time goes by so fast and weight creeps up even faster. Yeah it is exciting to know we are doing around the same time so we can have a bandster buddy to relate to. I will add you today on facebook. I don't know if h and k told you but we are moving this week, sao when we get settles you and steph should come over for dinner and guitar hero..... I'm scared too especially after seeing the process and getting to hold the band.

Congratulations on the 125 + lbs......You look great and I bet feel even Better.... I hope with hard work and determination I can achieve someothing close to that...Thanx for the inspiration!!!!!

I know it is scary but just remember every test and every appt gets you just an inch closer to being happy and healthy and most of all SKINNY. Wow that is a lot of test, I thought I had to do a lot. I had to do a sleep study which was horrible made e feel so FAT when they put that sleeping machine on me. Can we say reality check????
