You are all so great!! I am thrilled I'm down 23lbs but I've been pretty consistent with weight loss so far so I'm bummed it stopped this week! I'm aware that this stage is for waking- that's why I'm on soft foods still. I'm sure I will catch up just like everyone including my NUT told me. Just had to vent this morning!

Jennifer,

We had our surgeries on the same day. I too, have been struggling since surgery with weight loss. The first two weeks were great, but since I moved to mushies/soft foods, I'm not losing at all. I'm also finding myself more hungry. I go for my first fill on the 15th (next Friday). I also struggle with very severe headaches which limits my walking at times, as does the weather. I finally went to the YMCA and joined yesterday, but today I find myself snowed in! LOL. I'm hoping to be able to do Water aerobics soon...I have 1 incision that is not healing because the superglue got attached to my hospital gown and it ripped my skin off and it's not healing. (GRRR!!) But the other incisions are healed and look great! It's always something and I'm trying to not let too much get me down. My headaches are horrible and while I am in limbo with doctors trying to figure out what to do with the treatment of those is why I decided to do lap band while I have been off work in the first place. I figured I might as well work towards something productive, so here I am. :) I have noticed the scale is juggling between 3 and 4 lbs back and forth. I figure it will fall off eventually and stay off when it is ready. Apparently it's water weight. I tend to hold water anyway. I'm hoping the Dr gives me a good fill next week as I am finding myself hungry quite a bit. I'm ready to see the scale move! Try not to get too discouraged, it will happen. We just need to be patient. :unsure: I know it's hard....because we are so eager...

I hear ya. I've been trying not be discouraged as well. I lost 17 lbs the first week after surgery. Now, in the second week, the scale hasn't budged. I know that this is a time for healing but I can't help but feel anxious and impatient.

I get my first fill on Friday. I'm so nervous that they won't be able to find my port!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
