YaaaaY for you!!! Congrts & keep up the good work!!!!

I'm disappointed. I want to eat and when I do Im not filling up. Its just going thru my tummy. Im gonna step it up today and try less food and more Liquids to keep me filled. I have two weeks for my first adjustment and thats a long time to keep going thru this. I will begin my workouts today on a more serious level. Nothing overdone but enough to get the blood flowing and the sweat coming. Im determined to do this!!!!:cursing:

Thanks for the advice. I'm still really hungry I have uped my exercize. Im trying to bucke down and its not so easy. I just realized my adjustment is on the 27. Kind of far away. I CAN DO IT!!! thanks

Thank you so much for shareing. Im a new bandster and I know that is not the band thats gonna drop my weight its gonna be the girl wearing the band. We need to buckle down and focus for a better us. Im happy to hear you came to terms withinn your self. That takes a lot of strength to stand back up and go forward again. YOU CAN DO IT... KEEP IT UP AND NEVER STOP TILL YOUR DREAMS AND WANTS BECOME REALITY!!! You now realize its you who can get what you want and thats the best part. Your on the right track again. GOOD FOR YOUR STRENGTH & INSPIRATION TO BE HONEST AND SHARE TO US NEWBEES!! Best of luck on your continued Journey. Its not how long it takes to get there. Its that you get there. =)

Keep up the good work. Tip for sleeping... Maybe try sleeping a little elevated. It helped me alot with the gas and tenderness. Good Luck

Yay, For you!!! Keep up the Good work!!

Well I'm assuming all the swelling from my band is gone as well as the soarness. My tummy is still tender to the touch but no more pain. I am 11 days post op and feeling Great..... BESIDES being really hungry and when I eat it fills me for a short time only to find Im hungry again. Doctor said its because my band is wide open, its a normal feeling. My first adjustment is not until 10/21. Its really hard for me to stick to the diet now as nothing is filling me up. Has anyone had this problem and WHAT CAN I DO??? Uuuuhhhh :cursing:

It will stop I'm 9 days in and it has stop. I was telling my doctor he okayed me to move on to the phase 2 of the diet. its soft mushys. The clear liquids are going straight thru your body your tummy has nothing to digest the Sweet from the apple juce has too much acid thats Y the tummy rumbles & burns causing the nausia. Keep with the broths if you cant move on to the mushys. Remember our bodies are going thru widthdrawls. and we need to keep food flowing or we will get sick. Are You Drinking your protein that helps keep you a little filled. Hope your feeling better.... <3

Congrats Brina!!! You will be just fine. I was banded a week ago and feel back to myself and losing weight feeling GREAT. Its nice to have people like you going thru the same thing to encourage you. So enjoy your Journey into your new LIFE... Keep us all posted on your achievements.

Yea for you... Go and SHINE you have put much effort into your weight loss sucess and all the credits yours!!!

Thank you... I know its a long road ahead.

Well not really he told me to move on to the Mushy foods. But I'm hungry!!! That full feeling is gone for me I think Im on my own my band needs to be filled already. But I know its me who needs to eat the right foods now. Its just a small test for me I think... Either way I get my first fill on the 24 so another two weeks of strength for me gotta eat right. I guess if I had to call my doctor and tell him Im too hungry he may call me in early for the fill. Wish me luck!!

I had my doctor visit yesterday and I had a 15lb weight loss in 1 week. He said my first adjustment will be at the end of the month. I am feeling good about my eating but he said my tummys swelling is going down and I will begin to eat as before because my band is still open. So I need to stick to the diet until my first adjustment. Its okay for me to begin moderate exercise as long as Im not over exhausting myself. PROTINE, PROTINE is the key to healthy weight loss because We need to keep the muscle loose the fat so Protine up everyone!! :frown:

I am feeling very good today. I have checked myself and have lost according to me in 5 days 7lbs. But we will see what the doctor has to say. I am getting use to the full feeling when eating and feel that things are going great for me. Im still a little soar but otherwise moving around good. So off to the doctors I go... :confused:

I am feeling great!! I have minimal pain and am moving around well. I havent felt very hungry. I kind of have to make myself keep up with my food, protine & water. I am excited that this journey in my life has begun so well. I never realised how wonderful it feels to burp also... LOL I go to see the doctor 10/6 ready for my nest step. :confused:

Hello PuppyB, Well I have the same thoughts as you on the band. I just got banded on 9/30. I feel great!!! As yourself let people say what they may about it. Some of us just CANT DO IT ALONE... I have Yo-yo'ed diets for years only to find my self heavier than before. I finally feel like I am in charge of my life and what I put into my body now. Maybe because if I dont watch what or how much I eat I will become sick?? But hey if this is what it takes for me to get healthy so be it. I'm the one who takes care of me. I'm the one who sees me naked in the mirror and I'm the one that is gonna be proud of me in the end. SO BE PROUD OF YOUR CHOICE AND KNOW ONLY YOU CAN TRUELY MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY & WELL. Besides its not the easy way out its just a little help. Its a lot of work on our part we still need to watch what we eat & work out. Im happy for your courage in the desicion to get your Band. Best of luck to you on your big day. (Its like a new BIRTHDAY for you) Everything will turn out well for you!! Keep me posted we can be support Buddies.

Hi, I just got banded on 9/30 two days ago. I have had minimal pain, nausia and I AM FEELING GREAT!! I am able to drink my fluids and take my meds. Today I actually went to the store to buy my protine & vitamins. I wish you the best of luck on your big day. Try not to be nervous its really not that bad. Just follow your diet and you will be fine!!

I was nervous about my surgery on thursday 9/30. (my NEW birthday) All went well and I was home about 5 hours later. That night I was a little soar so I was on my pain meds. Day after 10/1 I was up and about drinking my fluids and broth feeling well & excited. Yoday 10/2 I feel a little soar again but feeling well. I have been able to hold in my fluids and started my Thicker soups. I am so ready for my body to heal so I can start my new adventure in my new life. PS... I NEED SUPPORT BUDDIES PLEASE ADD ME
