I have been having a hard time the last three weeks, I missed my dr visit on the 8th and have not been back yet. I am planning on going on the 29th now. I have gained back about 5 pounds and i know why, i have been so bad with everything that is going in my mouth, i dont seem to be full and my choices have been so bad. i went away on vacation and seems that i have not come back to reality yet. I can't seem to get removiated again. i have not been to any group meeting in a month because of everything that is going on. i have started night school from 6 pm to 930 every night and work full time almost every day ( i work at a toy store and this is getting into our crazy season.) I know i can do this i had lost 40 pounds in 4 months but i just a lost. I dont know if there is anyone who has been through this too?? I just sitting here shaking my head. later!

Way to go!!

i found a cherry flavor at my local store, not that bad, but i drink water after it, the chalky taste hit after i got it down, but its not to bad, or you can do an emina ( i think that is worst) good luck and feel better!!

:scared2: 8 weeks- 1st fill, The dr office put 1cc in my band with the 5 that was put in when i was banded. i can really feel the difference. i have been on water for one day and now on shakes one day and went to soft food yesterday, tommorow i can have regular food again, i think i lost 2 or 3 more pounds just doing that for the past few days. but for a total weight loss of 32 pounds so far that is so great!!! when i got on the scale at dr office i was like oh yea!!!! Once the kids are back in school next week that will give me more time to hit the gym or go for some long walks after i get them on the bus!!! I have put a goal of 25 more pounds gone by christmas, i really think that is a due able number. i am going to bust out the winter clothes soon and see if there is any difference in the fit yet?? I hope so. keep you all posted- have a great weekend!!!

good luck!!!!

Well here I am 6 weeks post op and things are going great, i have lost a total of 28 lbs and worked for every pound!!!

Congrats!!! I found out that my Dr. gave me a small fill when he put the band in!! And i can feel it. I have not really been hungy at all. I have only been on shakes and water still till next tuesday when i go and get the ok to move on to soft food. I cant wait!! i am so tired of chewing gum to keep me happy!! LOL good luck with everything!!

I went on vacation this past Feb with my family and the belt just fit- thank goodness i had my daughter and husband in the same row. When we got home and i saw the photos i knew that something had to change, i had been thinking of doing this for a while but that was the so called last straw. I am now 2 weeks post op and very happy. already down 25lbs and cant wait for next years vacation. Good luck to all on this new life we have!!!!

I still can't believe that it is past the 4th of july already. The heat here is crazy- and i thought living in the mountains would be cooler than the beach~ HAHA really cant go walking just way to hot- i did head over to the mall yesterday and did a few laps, i am sure that will count some but not like i want it to. I go next tuesday for a weight in and to chat with the dietian. I have only been drinking water and my protion drinks as per my dr. i have not gotten on the scale all week and its driving me crazy- i had to put it away, i was on it everytime i went to the bathroom. really dont want to get ocd over the weight loss. I can see that would happen fast. my husband says he can feel a difference already, i'll take it!! Later all!!!

I have 1/2 cup of soup a day usually for lunch instead of a protine shake. that is really the only "real" food i am eating right now. I feel very full after that. I used the recipe for the chicken enchilada soup i found on the lap band web site. really easy to make and taste great!

Awesome!!! Great JOb!!

Contrags!!- You look awesome!!!! Keep up the great Job!!!

congrats! and welcome to the club!!

count me in too!! I will shoot for 20 lbs. Good luck everyone!!!

I'm 10 days post and i have really not been hungrey at all. i was on clear for first 5 days after and have moved to liquid mostly shakes and water- and i have lost 10 lbs just in the last week. this is why we do this. good luck to you and don't worry. i was in no pain after the surgery, i was out walking the mall the next day!!! good luck!!!

i was on clear for the first 5 days now i am on liquids but my dr is very strict and wants only protine drinks!!! i have that and lots of Water and a sf popcile every nite as a snack. next apointment i get to move to puree foods for two weeks , but dr still wants 2 protine shakes a day and one snack and one small soft meal. then after next appointment then i get to move to solids!!! good luck to you all!!!

I was banded on 6-23, i am still just drinking lots of water and i takes me almost an hour to finish my protine drink. but i still have not really felt hungry, I am cooking for everyone but not my self- this past week i lost 9 lbs. this is why we did it!!! good luck to all of you!

congrats!!! that is so great!!! have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!:tt1:
