Thanks! I called my surgeon's office and left messages five different days, trying to get rescheduled. I was out of patience and about to post a whining message here about no one returning my calls, and as I was typing it, the callback came. What a relief! Now, I am back on my diet, struggling but at least I am motivated to do what I am supposed to do.

 

Congratulations on your weight loss! It's exciting to see how well all of you Springers who have already been banded are doing! Has your hunger decreased at all since surgery?

right now i am tring to figure out what is hunger pains and what is gas pains or just what all the rumbling is. LOL Have my post op appt today just to check my insitions wont get my first fill for awhile yet.

Ya I'm in the same boat mamab. I lost pretty good at first too but now things have slowed down. I'm eating soft solid and feel no restriction but I've healed up nicely. All my incisions are sealed and look great. I'm ready for my first fill but have to wait 6 wks. now Not having as much gas and alien baby sounds anymore either. I really need to focus on WHY I'm eating now. I find myself eating in the evening because I'm bored. NO BUENO

I'm glad to hear the "noises" are better.

 

Did you read the magazine article posted here on "Inertia"? It is excellent and talks about "mindless" eating. I could relate to it completely. I will try to post a link here for those who might be interested in reading it.

julz. i can definitely relate to the allein baby sounds lol, But they are getting better. Post op check up went well, dr was pleased with everything (wt lose, insitions healing, ect) got my instructions for my first fill on may 23. thought i would share some information that was on my instructions sheat.

 

 

ARE YOU IN NEED OF A FILL?

 

1. are you hungry?

2. are you eating large meals?

3. are you looking for food?

4. can you eat 1/2 of a sandwich with untoasted bread?

5. are you having to use willpower?

 

Note: IF YOU COULD HAVE LOST WEIGHT ON WILLPOWER, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED SURGERY!

 

I just thought that that statmean speakes volums to me because i struggled with the why cant i do this on my own. and people telling me that i wasn't trying hard enought.

It will be here before you know it. Congrats!

I have told only a hand full of ppl about being banded for exactly that reason. I really don't want some skinny minny telling me all I have to do is run 5 miles a day and the weight will drop off. OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY no! I didn't run laps when I was 12, why on earth would I want to do that now? I know I need to exercise but I know I never would have been able to get this fat off just with exercise.
