wow- this is so new way of thinking. Had staples out monday healed well- really can only see large spot still the small one have healed nice. No pain found out dr did put band in with a small fill to start me off. i have only been drinking the shakes (yuck) i have been trying to find one that i can stand but no luck yet. i must have 4 different one in the house now. if anyone has a fav let me know. I was weighed in and have lost 5lbs just the past week I'll take it. next dr visit is the 13 and i hope i get the ok to move to puree food.

congrats!!!keep up the great work!!

Well I guess the hard part is about to start- I was banded on the 23rd of june- my whole exprince was great. from the first visit to the check out of the hospital. I started at 304 and on surgery day i was 287 and when i went on monday to have the staples removed i was 283- a total loss of 21 pounds so far. I'll take it!!! I finaaly get to drink more than water now too!!! I have started my protine shakes this morning- boy they are hard to get down- what an after taste. i go back in two weeks for a meeting with the dietian and a weigh in so i hope that things keep going the right way. I have had nopain really and have been walking every where. i even went to the mall the day after and walked it twice. later

I was just banded last week and i am looking for a few people to chat with while going down this brand new road!! :scared2:

:smile2:wow- i still cant believe that i did this. not as sore as i thought i was going to be- never used any of the meds given to me. go in the morning to have staples removed and then the real work begins. like to know how everyone else is doing?? hope you had a great weekend!!
