Melissa...I am so sorry I just got this! I have not been on here in several weeks...I am going to TRY to start coming back on here more often because it is such a help to read what other people are going through and know that I'm not alone.

How did your surgery go? Have you had your first fill yet? Would love to hear more about you and your story. TTYS...Helen

Hey there! I have been SOOOO bad and not been on here in forever! Just TONS of stuff going on in my personal life. I am going to try to start logging back in and keeping up with people. I think it would really help me with the whole weight loss thing and keep me on track. How are you???

Gwen...yes, it is work to get in the 64 oz but I am doing pretty good so far. Yesterday I wasn't feeling good but still managed to get in about 50 ozs...not as much as they would like but I figure one day of being a few ozs below is ok. No protein yet. My doc puts you on water and sugars the first week...all clear liquids like jello, crystal lite, etc. I am drinking K2O though so I am getting sugar and protein. Protein diet starts Friday. :-)

Hi there! So far so good! I have had some pain in my shoulder and chest area from the gas...the chest pain feels like an intense pressure. No real issues though to speak of. Like most, I have some tenderness around the port but nothing severe. I have not had any real "hunger" pains yet and am quiet content with the liquid diet. I am on day 4 (I was banded 6/4) and I am back at work today. I have a desk job so it makes it really easy. :-)

Anything you want to know, please ask.
