I need to know from all you seasoned vet.s how long after surgery was your first fill? How much was it? I am freaking hungry! I was banded 8-3-2010, and I'm hoping that when I go to the Doc.in one week it will be for a fill!!!! Anyone, what's it gonna be?:thumbup:

Just eat before you go and bring your own drinks tell them you are on a diet!

You know Jennifer, I think there are some people who really are not commited to this seriously. I mean when I first started this journey, I did not know about "bandster hell", pbing, or sliming! But because I am desperately serious about getting this weight off,and know I need this tool, I am commited. I also am self-pay for what that is worth. Maybe also this person just did not spend time reading the bad or negative posts along with the positive posts. Just my thoughts, Kelly

Well, I have been banded for four weeks today! I won't have a fill till Sept.9th, (ggrrrrr)! Of course I am hungry, and supposed to be on the straw diet......but couldn't handle it so I moved myself to mushies instead, reasoning that if my straw were big enough I could get this shit up it! I have lost 25 pounds, and began walking at least 5 days a week. I eat between 900 and 1200 calories everyday. I have blown it probably (average) once a week. I can't wait much longer to get solids....man o man I miss chicken, call me pollo loco cause that is number one on my list. I slimed twice, once on vitamins, and once on some tallapia.:thumbup: Other than that, I guess on the whole things are going splendidly. 25 pounds in 28 days yeah don't get much better than that. I want you all to check out bariatrictv.com I can't say enough good things about it. A very wide bit of info, and fun to watch. So far it sounds like all of you are doing about as well as I am......CONGRADULATIONS. Let's all keep up the good work!:biggrin: Patientely waiting for my fill:wink: Peace out, Kelly:rolleyes:

I don't understand, my Dr said I could have anything I want as long as I could slurp it through a straw.....well , the last two days I have been eating a little bit of meat, but chew, chew, chewing till pulverized.........so kinda like a straw. Just too damn hungry!

Why do you think it is that people think it is cancer or something? Are they gloomy-gus's or what? I just think that is kinda wierd! Kelly:rolleyes:

I am now 3 weeks out, and of course I started walking! Just about 30 min a day. Then because the hunger came on like a hurricane, I had to add fish, it's the only thing that fills me and keeps my hunger "at bay". I've had a few days where I went over, but always the next day back on track. I would say about once a week. I have lost 25 pounds since surgery. No complaints here! I think the exercise helps.....I subtract that from my daily calories in my food log, so I am eating between 900 and 1200 plus 250 cal. I sutract for my walking! All for now, Kelly:biggrin:

Hope I did this right,,,,,for those of you who may have missed my raving, please check out this web site! It is ultra cool. Peace out, Kelly:lol:

GOOD FOR YOU MELISSA, i KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ,RIGHT NOW I AM TOTALLY DIETING......I STILL HAVE TWO WEEKS UNTIL THAT FIRST FILL.....BY THE WAY EVERYONE CHECK OUT BARIATRICTV.COM YOU REALLY WILL ENJOY IT!

congradulations, and welcome....next stop "bandster hell". Kinda sounds like a sorority and hazing and all...lol

Ok , I don't know what I was thinking! I did notice your bmi when i looked again.........sorry ; )

Are you only trying to loose 50 pounds?

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know about a fun web site called bariatrictv.com. Really, check this out, it is a fun site. Talk to ya soon, Kelly:thumbup:

weigh to go, or wait to go, or whey to go, or way to go!!!!

Are you execising? If so you nedd to up your calories. I eat between 900 and 1200 and have been loosing steady. I walk 25 min a day, thats it.

O.k. the way i do it is go up to quick links, go down to edit signature, when that page comes up click the ticker link in the top part of your ticker. Then that will take you to your ticker, enter your pin # and edit bar then change weight, then done down at the bottom, then change page to your signature and hit upload at bottom af page, that should do it!

you go girl!

Enjoyed your blog! Corgiqueen!

Well folks, it's my 3 week bandiversary! I have lost 24 pounds since surgery:eek: WOW! That is more than a pound a day.....I realize that some of that weight was water, but as long as that scale is in downward motion I am happy:wink:. In the next couple of days I get a DVD of my operation, I can't wait! I will actually get to see my guts:thumbup:! Now some of you may find that a bit odd, but I am a curious type, and I want to see:w00t:! Been doing my 25 minute walk every day with my wieni dog Sophie, and in order for her to keep up with me she has to trot......her toe nails on the pavement go "click,click,click" lol but she is very serious about going with me everyday! 16 more day to a fill, man I will be happy 'bout that. All for now Peace out Kelly:rolleyes:

lolololololol!

That just tells me there IS still a chance.....whoooo-whooo! :> Congradulations! Happy for you Kelly:redface:

How many fills have you had, Is that just one ?

wow cool!

Well just a post, ummmmmmm, yeah I'm hungry, but I have filled my house with low calorie, low fat, fat free, what ever I can find! So when I have a melt down of hunger (ggggrrrrrrr) I now reach for cantaloup? Only 55 calories per 1 cup. Or I have a big tub of ricotta that i can stand in the kitchen with a spoon and nibble out tiny spoonfulls, doesn't matter though at 50 calories per 1/4 cup I'm fine. I just really think we have to be in it to win it (I know really corny), but it is true! I know my positive atitude will get me through! Really it is the one true shining quality I have. Well maybe not the one.....I am witty, funny, smart, and pretty cool (if I do say so myself) yuk, yuk...."I don't know the key to success,but I know the key to failure is trying to please everybody." Bill Cosby (1937-) Peace out everyone Kelly:rolleyes:

Well, I am kinda a grazer. But I obsess on counting calories. Don't you think it shouldn't matter how you do it as long as you stay around your 1200 calories per day, or however many calories per day you allow yourself? Just like they tell us about exercising, you can break it up into two 10 minute bouts, or do one 20 minute bout. It seems same, same to me! Well All for now Kelly:wink:
