I'd like to find someone to go thru this process together for the next year. Anyone game? I was banded May 10th.

Doing great here! Moved on to mushies, what are y'all eating?

Also I forget to eat alot ,

I measure my serving to no more than a cup but usually less. And between breakfast and dinner I usually just don't even think about food at all! It's amazing. I do struggle at night to not snack and not eat out f boredom.

I am still on a liquid diet. Supposed to be on it for 4 weeks. I am supposed to have my follow up visit tomorrow, but my boss has family here and was irritated I think because I just returned to work today, so she has taken the rest of the week off. I cancelled my appt and will have to reschedule it.

I'm feeling pretty good. I wore jeans yesterday and by the end of the day my port site was hurting, My waistband hits exactly where the port is. Other than that, I feel great.

Checking in..... I'm down 16.2 lbs since banding May 10th. I go Monday, June 11 for a fill. I'm excited and nervous. I am learning to chew really well sure don't want any stuck and sliming episodes we..., just saying....

I still have a little lingering port pain. My incisions are itching like crazy!

I have pretty much gotta back to a normal diet, just have to make sure to take small bites, chew, and eat slowly.

At my two week check up the surgeon told me to call and schedule a fill when I feel like I need one, just to be sure that all my port pain is gone because he would have to push on my stomach to find the port.

I still can't take my anti depressant, it makes me sick.... Not good!

Any way I am starting to feel like a normal person again! Yay!

I feel pretty good, more energy. I only have some port stinging at times when my waistband is on my port. I am down 41 pounds since starting the pre-op diet. My weight loss seems to be at a standstill the past week. Up 3, down 3. Not quite sure what to do about it.

I am finally able to go to soft foods, yaay! I have been really hungry. I couldn't make my post- op appt because my co-worker took the rest of the week off as soon as I came back. Called my doctor to reschedule and they said if I felt fine, I could schedule an appt. for a fill. Well, it was June 20th, but now my boss is going to a training in Washington that week so now it is the 27th. My surgeon only sees patients 2 days a week. Has surgeries the other days. I am concerned about eating solid foods with no fill. I feel that I need one very badly. I am hungry a lot and do not feel any kind of restriction or full feeling when I eat. I'm worried I will gain weight back.

Angel I feel you I don't feel the restriction and I'm already on my soft diet, my surgeon is also the same way; patients on Monday's or Tuesday's therefore my first fill will be in 2 weeks, I want it now

How is everyone? I had my first fill of 3cc in my band, I guess I have a 14cc band. No problems with the fill.

I am feeling pretty good, had a weight loss stall for awhile. I have lost 45 pounds now since my pre-op diet.

I was banded may 1. I have my bad days and my good days. I still feel I need to stay focused on a more strict diet
