Hi Anya. I have lost somewhere between 5 and 8 pounds since last Thursday. It is still hard to eat first thing in the morning. I have to be up and moving for atleast 2 hours before I am okay to eat something. I do not find that I am "hungry", but I find myself eating because it is "lunch time" or "dinner time". I need to break myself of that. I haven't had any problems with this fill, but I do notice restriction. Not a whole lot, but some. Maybe #3 will be good for a while. The last two days I have worked more than 14 hours a day, so I am looking forward to my vacation! Still waiting on the weather man to make up his mind on whether or not it is going to rain though! Glad to hear you are doing better with will power. Have a good holiday weekend. Take care.

PS - I found that the liquid-mushy-regular phase was not nearly as hard the second time around. I was very rarely hungry during the stages of transition this time.

Yoga is a great idea! I was thinking about joining curves, but don't know if I am quite up to it yet. Maybe in another week. My 1st goal was to hit wonderland by the first of August, but I think I'll be there a lot sooner. I weighed this morning and was at 211. so I'm down 1 more lb since surgery for a total of 14 lbs. since surgery, but 18 for the whole journey.

Over one week on pre-opp. Under a week to the surgery. Hate the pre-op diet.

1 more week of clear liquids and protein drinks and then on to mushies.. Kinda excited about that Hope all you other bandsters have a wonderful day.

I am a week post op.I feel pretty good.

Pre-op diet, surgery on 3/1

3 weeks post op///only 3 pounds lost

I thought this was going to be really tough not eating "real food". This protein/clear liquids is not driving me nuts yet. My mind wants food when I cook for my lil girl and honey but I dont. Good thing cause my doc wants me doing it for 3 weeks. I guess its all worth it to watch those numbers on the scale keep dropping.

I had my surgery Tuesday.It went well.I am moving around to help move the gas.I have not had any nausea or vomiting.I am just a little sore.I have not taken any pain meds today.I go back to see my surgeon on Monday.This week is the clear liquid diet.

is having my first resturant outing. 3 weeks post ops. so nervous.

is offically on soft food.. i am three weeks post op.. I have gotten a little bit down today because I haven't lost any weight from week 2 to week 3. Feeling a little down.. but I will overcome this..

The girl scouts will be down at Lowes today. Selling cookies 11-3 come down if you want some! or if u ran out and want some more!!!

ON THE WAY TO S&W FOR MY SURGERY...2 WEEKS OF PROTEIN SHAKES AND RAW VEGETABLES...17 POUNDS DOWN AND HONESTLY NOT TOO FAR TO GO...GOING FROM FABULOUS TO F'N FLAWLESS, HAVE MERCY!!!

I am about to head out to Lapband support group meeting.Only 3 days left until I have my surgery.

Second fill coming in the next two weeks, I can't wait. :3)

Gonna Do Some Baking This Morning....Hope We Get The Van Back Today....We've Been A Week Without It.....

Only 5 more days until my surgery.I have all my pre and post op medications filled.Going this weekend to purchase food for week 1 post op diet and gas x strips.I will be attending a local support group Saturday morning.

3 months out from banding: -79 lbs!

Just got back home from church. Not ever letting the devil get the better half of me. Today's topic; Does god really care? Very good sermon glad I got up to make it to church after staying awake til 3:00 am. Well time to cook my dinner for my fam. Have a blessed and wonderful Sunday.

GRRRR I just tried to post a blog 3 times and it didn't work. Basically I'm 1 day post op and a lil scared of eating anything like pudding. I have been sipping my water and tea and broth and I'm not hungry but soooo thirsty. *sigh* Finally got my pain meds today after an ordeal with my insurance and the walmart. So I'm feeling a lil better now. I didn't realize how much this would hurt, lol.

Today will be a wonderful day. Why? It's my anniversary with the love of my life, Mr. Nick Lovejoy! I <3 you, lover!

Wahoo! Down to 208# this morning, 10 days post op. Day of surgery the scale read 213,with my starting weight at 220.0 2 weeks prior to that. My Nov. 18th doctor's appt had me at 223.9 with an all time high of 267.

20.7 pounds down in just under 3 weeks!

5 weeks post off from my lap band surgery, and down 30 pounds. I go for my first fill Friday!
