Anyone else getting banded on the 23rd of this month..... LET'S GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER!!!

MissCherita, the excess weight is due to all the IV fluids you get in the hospital. It will pass. I was up 2lb when I first came home on saturday, now I am down almost 11! Hang in there.

I was banded on the 23rd. I feel pretty good the only pain I have is the port area it's a little tender. I started pureed foods yesterday. Seems weird to get full on 2oz of chicken puree.

Hello my Peeps

was banded yesterday , feel a little sore but other than that fine , besides the gas went in to my right side of the face (dont ask how the heck that happend ), when u touch certain spots it feels like rice crispie treats LOL , and i had a hernia repair ...so glad its done and over with

Cant get these tricker to work

i am 5'9

Highest W : 268

Pre OP : 250

LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN YEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW:thumbup::eek:

I really need to stay off the scale I must admit, I was totally confused as to why I weight more then I did when I was going into surgery. I was 249 according to the hospital scale and according to my home scale I weight 255... hmmmmmmmm. Im liking the 249 better! Anyone else having the same issue, could it be the gas they put in me for surgery?? I haven't eaten ANYTHING since the day before surgery so I don't know why the scale is going up...... SOMEBODY....ANYBODY FILL ME IN!!!!!

I am going through the same thing. On the morning of 2/23, I weighed 259 the morning of surgery at the hospital and now I am hovering around 263. It is all due to the IV fluids they pumped into us during surgery and we just have not flushed everything out. The scale will move. I have been very good with my Water, shakes and Soup so I know, know, know in my mind that there is no way that I consumed 14,000 calories of fat in the last 4 days, considering I've been taking in less than 800 calories a day since then. It is humanly impossible for me to gain weight, so I know everything will even out soon. It just takes certian people time to adjust! Hang in there, girl! It will be ok!

Me too i weigh 4 lbs more than before surgery , its frustrating but guess normal i am trying NOT to weigh myself again for the next few days :cursing:

Good Morning My Peeps :w00t:

How is everyone doing after Surgery , for myself i can say im doing good , went back to work after 4 days recovery so everything went pretty smooth for me thank god !

But now im starting to feel Hungry and i wont get my first fill till March 25 th :sad:

Would like to hear from you all :smile2:

Any updates???? Ill start..

I went from 278 to 218.. 60lbs lost

Size 18 or 20 to 12 or 14

Shirt XL to Med. or Large

Bad part..... I need to exercise soooo bad. I have been so lazy. I need some motivation!!!!

Miss Cherita - Wow - you rock girl. Keep up the good work and start that exercise so you make it all the way to goal.

I had a fill yesterday and doctor advised me to start exercising too.

We can do it.

As of this morning, I'm down 69 lbs from my 2/23 surgery date.

Starting pant size was a 22. I'm now comfortably in a 16 and just bought a pair of 14's that are a little snug, but still fit. I am now in a regular XL rather than 2X Plus sizes.

I am thrilled with my progress!
