Hi everyone, I'm starting this because we are mid way through the month so I'm guessing about half of us have had the procedure done. The October Bandsters thread has been really great with all the positive comments, suggestions and support. It would be great to keep that community going.

I'm two days post surgery. My pain meds are working fine. The surgery was easier than I expected and I hope the recovery keeps going as well.

How is everyone?

Very true ... Well said ... I'm looking forward to my fill .... I'm now off to bed night

Going in to have the cord on my band readjusted. Apparently it was not suture correctly so now there is a huge bulge at my port site. I will also gets fill while my doctor is in there. I'm very frustrated

Mine is destynee13!

Micheleost...of course! I'd love to have you on there as my friend!

I haven't had my first fill yet.. I'm very hungry I m not losing weight ... I can't eat anything like i've not been banded ..... I hope things change once I have my first fill

They will get better with every fill. Stay the course and hang in there! I feel for you! ( first fill was 11/5)

I have noticed that about a lot of foods. I am glad because I won't have the urge to binge eat on those foods. Aren't you glad?

I agree...it makes such a difference to know I won't be tempted to gorge myself on that stuff! That and knowing how many calories are in take away food makes me realise how not worth it that kind of stuff is!!!

Btw-join the blessed December challenge thread...the November one really kept me motivated!!

Awesome! I really liked November's...having to post my weight every week sure made me want it to be a loss so I worked even harder for it! I beat my goal last month by 2 lbs so hopefully it'll be a good month this time despite all the Christmas temptation!
