Hello Ladies, I had my surgery March 28th, so far so good. I have had some gas issues but other than that I started at 231 in December of 2011 and I was 218 the day of my surgery and now I am 211 three weeks later. I am so excited for those who are about to walk into a new chapter in their lives.

add me, my name is sunnyhoney11 on MFP

I got a 1.1 fill yesterday making my fill 4.7 in a 10. Hoping this makes a huge difference at night.

I use Vitamin e oil on my scars. Shocked at how great they look

Let me know if that works .... I have 3.5 in an 11cc band.

Hey ALL!

I am finally in the 230's!!! My official weigh-in isn't until Friday, But I had to jump on the scale today. SO excited! :D

I use bio oil it works like a charm. I used it my whole pregnancy and on my c-section scar.

So tomorrow is the day my first fill. My incision is still infected so i hope I get 1. Then my dr request me being on a 3 day liquid diet. Hoping everything goes ok.

I use Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Lay It On Thick line of creams... They have Shea butter in them and they smell good and help reduce scarring... They also have fragrance free too...

I feel so discourage. Since getting banded on March 29 its like I'm at a stand still with my weight. I'm hoping I did the right thing, with getting this lap band. I don't get my first fill till 15 of May. Hopefully I can get some kind of restrictions then. I'm walking every morning 30 minutes. My diet isn't bad, just frustrated.#hope it will b worth it.

I haven't been on here for awhile and just read the last 20 pages that I have missed. Phew!

I also notice the left shoulder pain when I am getting full. Kinda neat as a cue to stop eating but mostly really annoying! My first fill will be on 4/27. I have some restriction. I can eat soft foods and have tried a few items today that would be considered solid. So far so good.

I am also on MFP. Feel free to add me: iluvyogi

I haven't been on in a while myself. Was banded march 1. I have noticed the pain in the left shoulder as well. Kinda cool I think. Not the pain but the secret little signals.

Is MFP an ap? I have been using an ap called my net diary. It's ok I'll check out MFP
