It's is a Secret...
It is up to you who you want to share this with. I have only told a select few and when i am ready i will tell more. I do think it is a good idea only because people tend to think you should be loosing weight more quickly and they dont understand it is a slow process and a tool to help you and that you still have to work on it. Best of luck to you on your journey.

Protein??How to get your protein in the first two weeks of post op?
Whey protien i use he chocole flavor it was all i could find. One cup is almost what you need for the daily protien and its not to bad of a taste. That and when i went to mushies alot off scrambled eggs and cottage cheese is what i have been living on and a protien drink for snack to make sure i am getting my protien in to. Good luck!

1st FILL
Congrats i also had my first fill today to. The needle did sting a bit and they did have to push a bit to. She said the more weight you loose the easier it will be to find the port. I am not sure what size port i have but the dr put in 5 cc and i am doing ok. I must say i am looking very forward to soft food . Best of luck to you on your journey.

I just got my day for surgery
First congrats on your little one. I had my banding on June 1 and the first 2 days were the worst and even then they were not real bad . I would say a week you will be sore just make sure you follow Drs. orders and you should do fine. Good luck!
