HI everyone

I been looking and looking and we have so many members but yet no posts.Nothing to be scared of here, I swear i have not bitten anyone this week.. ok least not since tuesday. I would love to see us communicating more. Getting to know each other. We are each others support so lets see if we can get everyone to jump on board. Make a topix, or post on some of the ones made. Lets get active!!!!! Give me something to read when i am off work the next week sitting home drinking LIQUIDS!!. yea you all need to keep me busy...

Had my 1 month post op PCP appointment. Last week had my 3 week follow up LB surgeon appointment. Good news is I'm down 25lbs since sx on 4/2/12. BP was normal for the first time in A WHILE. Blood sugars are consistently below 140 (goal intially was below 150). Just a small tweak of meds and more lab work in 2 months. Feeling pretty good these days! You all are great encouragement and support, even when just lurking!

summrsue I'm not losing either so don't feel too bad. I've heard this time is referred to being in "lapband hell" but to go up and down each day with the same lb gets really frustrating. I'm sure it will start dropping when we get filled. May 21st for me! I can't wait!!!

 

I am happy for others like runnyf. It's awesome to hear your doing so well.

Smmrsue - i am also a little frustrated with my slow loss. I was banded 4/10 and the scale has barely moved since 4/19. I had my follow up with my surgeon yesterday and he said that I needed a fill- but I can barely get 800 calories in these days. I am wondering if I get my calorie intake up higher if that will help, but when I get a fill won't it be harder? So puzzled. But my dr was encouraging, so I am trying to stay strong...

weight at start of pre surgery diet - 304/current weight 280/surgery 4/10, Follow up 5/1

I see a few of you are in a weight loss lull. It'll pick up though, don't you think? My scale hasnt budged much this week but this AM I was down 2 lbs.

I sure hope so! I'm ready!

I sure hope so, it's my TOM, but I haven't gained any weight. So hopefull.
