October 2012 Bandsters

  • Popular Post

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?

You have lost 48 pounds. That's a lot. A great accomplishment. Just start over today. Count your calories, protein first, drink 48 oz of water, exercise.

Just put the three weeks behind you and get right back on the 'band wagon'...

Got my first fill. I found out that I had 4.5 cc in my band. So today I got 1.5cc added to my band.

Yes, but you can get stuck here beating yourself up either. Time to move forward!

MiniMi is right! What's done is done. Learn from it and move on. Can't live on what ifs.

Best wishes!

I was banded on Oct 24 and have lost 36lbs so far. Going on Thursday to get my first fill.

Great! I was banded the same day, just got filled 11/28.... I have 6.4cc in. I'm eating better and what not but honestly the fill isnt enough I dont think, it has not suppressed my appetite that much, only the first 2 days. Kuddos to you though
