Hello fellow strugglers, I love you all!

I'm down 31 lbs post-op, after only 12 days. My body is changing everyday as people are really beginning to take notice. I have a great shirt that I have never been able to wear hanging in plain sight, looking forward to putting it on soon. I don't want to attempt trying it on to soon as It may not yet fit. That could really screw with my emotions to say the least, so I'll look at the shirt for now, but soon real soon.

Your body is just a shell, shells can be broken!

Life-band has saved my life, my life is worth saving!

Love to all,

C.J.

I'm 10 days out and still having shoulder pains, too. I'm down a total of 24.8 lbs since the pre-diet 1/5 and my surgery 1/10. Sometimes it's worse than others...as weird as it might seem...a lot of times...(not every time, though) when the pain comes...if I get up and start walking it will ease up. I try to keep my shoulders back and straight...for some reason that seems to take the pressure off of the nerve or whatever is giving me problems.

Keep up the good work. I'm right there with ya'. : )

great job! i am 3 weeks out and the weight loss has come to a stand still. I go back to the doc in 2 weeks and hopefully i will get a fill. I am just being careful and trying to follow the docs diet the best i can. I tried on some old clothes last night still didnt feel comfortable wearing them but i could tell a difference. BEst of luck and keep up the good work!

I had the most horrible shoulder pain imaginable..I guess you can imagine lol it will go away, it's from the gas they use to inflate you...you'll be ok i promise! walking helps..

I was just banded on the 14th and I had back pain, but not in my shoulders. My relief - a heating pad, that thing worked wonders.
