Wow...I see several of us have the same dr...maybe we have been at the clinic at the same time and didn't know it. I typically go the last Thursday of the month for one of their "late" appointments (being a teacher means I can't get there till after 3) Maybe I'll get to meet one of you ladies sometime.

Don't you hate that we got to see Dr. Reilly for the surgery and haven't seen him since? I sure would like to thank him for helping me get this far!!

My appointment is also on the 25th but not until 3:30. If the appointment went as fast as my last one did you'll be in and out of there by 2:30. I hope to be in and out quickly because I live in Katy and having to go through Galleria/610 traffic at 4:00 is NOT fun. Good luck to you.

My question was about how much weight did y'all lose the first week?

Don't get discouraged. Your metabolism is slowed because you are not eating much. I lost 10lbs, but it has come to a halt. I was banded on Sept. 24. I will get the first fill on OCT. 29. I hope I will start losing again once I start a workout plan and the first fill gives me some restriction.

Stay encouraged!

I go for my first fill October 30 don't know what to expect ...... Do fills hurt?

Hi! Fills do not hurt! When they stick the needle into the port to me its like getting a shot! They have never had to stick me more than once! Do follow instructions about liquids and pay close attention when you do start to eat food again! Last fill for me was only .5 cc and it made a HUGE difference!

I'm at 5 cc's now and I get some restriction for not as much as I would like. I'm glad to see what I may have to go to 7 or 8 to get to my green zone.

You will be surprised that it may not even take that much to get you were you need to be! Your body is constantly changing including your insides! :D

One more question I'm on day 8 post op and have only lost 3lbs I feel discourage yesterday I had lost 5lbs this morning I was up two! :"(

You shouldnt be weighing everyday! Your body weight changes day to day! Pick a day and only weigh on that day! As tempted as you may be to step on the scale dont do it! I weigh on Fridays...gives me even more reason to celebrate! And remember wether is 1 lb or 5 lbs...Thats lbs you are not longer carrying around with you! Stay Focus!

For you that are just beginning I would recommend taking pics along the way and save 1 pair of jeans so you can see how far you can come! I wished I would have done more picture taking so I could see the change! Also measurements too! Just bc the number ont he scale doesnt go down doesnt mean the inches arent melting away!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
