Hi Jackie, I've been thinking about you, how're you doing? Have you met with the specialist yet? I hope things are okay.

Hi Nooshie, not sure if you'll remember me but I met you back in July at the LB support group. I was banded on 9/30 and am doing well. Hope you'll accept my friend request. See you at the next meeting.

Hi Raychie, how're you doing? I just had my 2nd fill and honestly feel more restriction for now. I hope I see some weight loss soon. It's been a few weeks since the scale moved. Please let me know how things are with you.

Hi Tsaleen, hoping we can be friends and support to one another. Our surgery dates are only a couple of days apart. Hope your doing well.

I am feeling so much better today. I woke up and was hungry. I warmed up a cup of tomato soup and drank some apple juice. Now I'm sipping water and working on getting in my daily 64oz of fluids; this has been a challenge for me.

I am so thankful for the support I have from my family and friends!

I got on the scale today...I don't like what I see, LOL. Didn't gain but didn't lose either. I know it'll take time before the weight starts to shed but I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. Maybe I'm still swollen? I hope so...let's see what the scale says on Thursday, one week post-op.

I'm going in for my 2nd fill today.

My port site was really bothering me last night. found it hard to sleep. Took pain meds before bed and slept okay but woke up at 3am with the same pain. took another dose, slept well; woke up at 9am, still feeling sore only around the port site. It's bareable as long as I'm not laying down.

Running errands after work, got home late and was starving! Ate much to fast and got stuck! This was my first time and it was painful. I thought my chest was on fire. I tried to PB but wasn't able. It took a few minutes before I felt relief. great reminder to chew,chew, chew.

Slept on my back last night, propped up on a couple of pillows; it wasn't the most comfortable position so I tossed and turned all night, however, I woke up without any pain - yeah! Guess it'll be a while before I get to sleep on my side or stomach.

Started the pre op liquid diet on 9/16 and now have a cold, sore throat and nausea. It hurts to swallow anything. I'm hoping to be all better before my surgery date on 9/30.

Starting full liquids tonight, going in for my 3rd fill.

Today my port site was a little sore. Needed help getting up from laying down. Noticed I was a little hungrier today than a few days ago. Won't have my first fill until 10/25.

Today was a good day. Sat in my PJ's watched movies and sipped my liquids all day. Feelin pretty good so far.

What a beautiful picture! Thanks for accepting my friendship request. When do you start your pre-op liquid diet?

Wishing everyone a very nice weekend!!

Woke up at 3:30am and stomach felt empty. I felt a bit nauseated so sipped a 4oz of apple juice and went back to bed. For breakfast I ate 4oz of soy nf peach yogurt and sipped 4 oz of plain soy milk. It took me an 1.5 hrs to get that all in.

Yesterday was a good day, walked a total of 3 miles.
