To All my fellow Sept 2010 Bandsters -Welcome !

Since we had a pretty big Post in the Pre-Op section with over 23,000 views I thought since it is now October we should switchover here and continue our journey here.

WELCOME ! I hope to see all my fellow Sept. 2010 Bandsters like Cathy, Joanny, Cece, Debbie, Lyla, etc etc all here.

first meal, egg and 1/2 piece of toast, and some fruit. my mouth is watering. I'm just now trying the sparkpeople recipe builder for nutritional information, fun in an ocd way

Ha! that is what I am gonna have - but with English Muffin! Yum!! I have been looking at recipes too. Oh wow, I am so excited. We are crazy!

Sounds Yummy!!!

Its so crazy how we were banded the same day and I can't have real food until the second week of November!!! Oh well.

Enjoy it chica

Ok I took the plunge into real world food!! I had a Morningstar Garden Veggie Burger on a whole wheat English muffin and steamed veggies. (Before I would have put lots of butter or margarine on the veggies). I ate them without any seasonings or butter and they were really good. I chewed and chewed and almost finished it, then I felt really full!! This is really scary though. I kinda liked the soft foods, I was eating the same thing every day and didn't have to think about choices. But I was really hungry. My next visit is in three weeks, so I hope to lose 3 more pounds. I almost bought coffee creamer today, but changed my mind. I had my first cup of coffee and I put soy milk in it. With you guys help, I will stay honest with myself.

I love your quote!! Thanks.

Hello All, Tomorrow will be one week that I have been on pureed food. Like you guys I have gained one pound by my scale. From time to time I do feel a little hungry.

Lisa: It must feel good to have moved up to the next stage.

Missjoany: Keep up the good work.

Can any one tell me how can I change the information on the weight loss ticker.

Hello Everyone.

Life has been crazy these past 2 weeks. My mother-in-law passed away last week, funeral was last Saturday and my daughter is turning 21 tomorrow. So have been around lots of food. Too much temptations for the wrong foods but portion control is definitely there. One good thing about eating less, there was a dish at the funeral that was bad, 1 person in the family was vomiting and 3 out of the 4 siblings had diarrhea. I know too much information but little old me had no problem. Guess I did not eat enough of whatever it was to be effected.

I am amazed at how much I can eat and how easily it goes down. I have not had any issues of revisiting my food, thank god. I go back to the doctor on Oct 27 and will ask them to put more fluid in. Since I started eating my weight loss has stopped and since last week, I have gained 3lbs. :thumbup:

Will post sooner next time.

Hi Cathy,

I had been wondering how you were doing. I know you have had several fills and you were banded a few days before me.

I am suppose to go for my first fill on the 26th and I can't wait. I am hoping I feel a little restriction.

Hi all.

Maria, that is really amazing, what all can you have? it's all so curious.

Cathy I can't believe, all those fiills, and not much restriction. wow that is discouraging for a girl that is planning to fly across the country to get her first fill or two.

sourmissg, I believe you go to where you have your ticker, like ticker factory.com. I don't have one so Im not sure but I went to that site and it looked like you have a link that you hit that gets you to your ticker factory page and update

Oh I forgot to say, cathy sorry about the mother in law, that is hard, I'm glad you didn't get sick though

Hi everyone!

Been a little while since I've posted, I've been soooo sick. I am down 15lbs since surgery and of course I am about 8 weeks pregnant so, I'm figuring that I probably would have lost a little more if it weren't for that. Still not sure the pregnancy is going to be OK, having tests done and just hoping to report good news. Doc still believes I have a good chance of miscarraige.

I've just read a few of your posts and I am sooo happy for you all, seems everyone is surviving!

I have been eating anything that I can tolerate and as you can imagine the morning sickness doesn't allow for much. I eat enough to stop my hunger pangs, other than that, I don't have any desire for food. Good luck and hopefully I will have a good report soon.

Cathy, I so sorry to hear about your lost, I'll keep you and your family in my prays.

Brenda, prayers to you and your baby.

Oh Brenda, I'm so sorry? do they think the band has something to do with the tennative nature of your pregnancy? I'm sure you are already really ramping up on vitamins and rest and water. remember your folic and your essential fatty acids- I'm sure you've got all this covered, but if you are losing weight make sure you are getting the nutrients. I lost weight in my first few months of pregnancy, too sick to eat. I think the sickness is your body telling you to rest.

good luck girl, I'm so sorry you are having these difficulties, it's hard enough to wrap your head around a new baby, and then all the excitement that comes with that plus all this worry. I'm thinking about you. Wishing you the best.

you know if you can get into it, I've read studies that speak very highly of high amounts of miso in the diet to battle affects from surgery in your body, maybe it would help with you and the baby. I love miso, - with sauteed onions and garlic, and stock of some kind - could be chicken, and while it's heating mix in the miso, I love the flavor.

Lisa

Brenda, I pray and hope things work out for you and the baby.

I have you in my prays.
