Im 9 weeks post-op and recently started working out to that Wii Active game. I've noticed after the work-out , which includes running, my port site gets reallly sore. I dont know if its the port itself or just muscles in the area that havent been worked out in a long time

I have the first one and it kicks my butt.

Im 3 weeks post fill and I feel like im eating waaay more then I should be. Weight loss is at a stop. I've only lost 20lbs in 9 weeks...Kind of discouraging. I have started working out (walking, Wii Active). .. I go in for my 2nd fill on 1/4/2011. My dr does fill's every 8 weeks. @ danarth.....I dont understand how you've had 4 fills already. Does the Dr do them whenever you feel like you need one????

I too was banded on the 29th. I lost 14 lbs at my 6 week check up today. Seems low but I'm still happy. I had nothing in my band and had my first fill today. The dr put 5cc's in my 10cc band. Clear liquids today mushies tomorrow then regular food on wed. I need to exercise more but I just don't have the motivation

So I was banded on 9/29. At 6 days post of I had lost 10lb. I started mushies yesterday and BAM this morning put on 2lbs. :thumbup: Please tell me im not alone and thats normal.

You're my neighbor :thumbup:....Im in Fullerton (near disneyland for those non-Californians). I work for a local police department. Was banded on the 29th of Sept, so needless to say im 3 days post-op, itchy and im not gonna lie, im a lil' hungry .

I'm in the same boat. I had surgery yesterday but im forcing myself to drink the protien shakes. I think the pain is over powering the hunger :drool:

I don't work in corrections but I work for a local PD. I'm taking 3 weeks off becuase of the whole duty belt thing. I dont want it to rub againt any incisions and irritate them. I have the sick time so im taking it. IM getting banded tomorrow @ 0730.. So excited :smile2:

I'm getting banded on 9/29 (so excited) and i'm taking 3 weeks off. My job requires the unexpected (kneling, sitting, walking, getting up and down, helping people and if needed running like hell) so i want to make sure im FULLY healed before going back to work. I have the time and I'm able to take it off, so why not :biggrin:

I cant stand diet coke:eek:, I was a huge Dr Pepper drink:drool:...I too stopped cold turkey. Had heaches for a few days and cravings for a few weeks but i never gave in. Its been 4 months now and I dont want it anymore. I get banded on the 28th. Woo hoo :thumbup:

I got the Creamy Vanilla powder. Sooooo yummy like a vanilla milkshake. I can wait to mix in some strawberries and other fruit

I found a protien shake at the Vitamin Shoppe. It's ISOPURE Creamy Vanilla.....It taste just like a vanilla milkshake.:smile: In 2 scoops there is 210 calories:smile2: and 50grams of protein. They have 10 other flavors i want to try. Cheers everyone!:thumbup: ISOPURE here is the link. And there are plenty of places you can get it from.. Oh and it has ZERO carbs :w00t:

Ok so i've seen most people are doing the pre-op diet two weeks prior to surgery. My dr requires only a liquid diet the day before. Has anyone else only had to do the one day pre-op or did i "luck out" in a way?

16 days left Can't hardly wait... I want to now

I get banded on the 29th. Im so excited to begin my band journey. I've been waiting 6 months since my first appt. I got everything prepared other then finding a decent protein drink

Only 20 more days to go....I cant wait. Im so anxious to get this journey started :thumbup:
