Is there anyone out there with a February surgery date? I found out last week that mine is on February 1. Was shooting for December 06, then hoping for January 07, now thankful it's finally set for February! My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Malley in Kansas City.

Im feeling deppressed this time. I have not lost anything for 2 weeks because I eat too much and must wait for first fill for another mounth because my doctor was on operation.

I have no real hungry in my stoma - i feel hungry im my mouth and Im very sad that i cant wrothe everething that i wount because my english is very bad.

Hope you understand me.

:think :cry

Hang in there Diddi, I promise, it will be ok even if you do gain some back. Once you get your fill/fills the band will work for you. Please don't give up hope. I am curious, where are you from? I didn't see it listed in your profile. I love to see representation of us all over the world. I work in the international department of my company and literally talk/email all over the world.

:hug:

Hi, Diddi! I know this sounds strange, but you might try taking a big bite of something you REALLY REALLY want, chew it up, and then spit it out. This has helped some people get past the worst of their cravings. Maybe it can help you, too?

thanks on support

Im comming from Croatia, state near Italy, in Europe. This operation is new in my country and perform for only 1 or 2 years in our capital city Zagreb by doctor Bešlin.

Every single day im on this forum and i read (and translate unknown words) everething that interessed me (specially "February bandsters") but its very hard to me anything to wrote because im never learng english in my scool and everething i know i learned myself by translation.

and even i dont write anything want you to all kow that I'll be around reading your post's.

:confused:

it would be helpfull to tell me what I'm not have good wrothe in my posts - spelling or grammar, anything - i wanna learn more english language and talk with you people about many thing, about everything

Well, you've taught yourself pretty well!!! Keep on reading, and you can ask us anything you wish, and we'll do our best to help!:confused:

Diddi you are doing a great job translating.

And people can I just say holy friggin restriction??? I got my 4th fill yesterday to a total of 2.0cc (1 was at 1.5 before that). Now I really know what restriction feels like. I am so darn full. I had a yogurt for breakfast and could only finish 3/4 of it. Lunch and dinner were probably a little more than 1/2 cup of food and I was stuffed after both of them.

Babygirl! You're on your FOURTH fill??? WOW!! I'm still on my first! I got 1cc on my first fill, and my second isn't until May 10. Which is really ok with me, because I've resumed losing after my first fill. I had stalled for a couple of weeks... The April challenge has helped, too, even though I haven't been very good about posting on that thread... :confused:

Yeah I was not feeling any restriction so I just kept making appointments. My doctor is very good about accomodating his patients needs and believe me I needed those fills!

Diddi,

I think it is amazing that you are teaching yourself english. understand though that some of what we write is "slang" . Slang means they aren't real words but a shortcut for real words. Like "wanna" is really "want to". Don't be discouraged. I , too, have not lost anything in like 2 -3 weeks. I will see my doctor this week, so hopefully I will have my first fill. But you have already lost some great weight. take care and hope to "see" you soon.

I think you can set your computer to write for you in English. Someonr that is computer smart can tell you where to set the language, I believe incomming or out going.

Diddi, you are doing a great job of telling us what you mean. I can understand you completely. We all seem to be stuck with no weight loss for awhile....keep writing....support is so important. I was also banded on February 14....so we are band sisters!!!!!

Thanks, your posts mean a lot too me.

Last week i had 116 kg, and today (after overeating for "Easter weekend") i have 117 kg.

I made a decison - no more overeating, no more (not a little bit) of ham, cakes, chocollate, juces etc.

Every day must work out for a least 30 minutes and eat less then 800 kcal daily.

:rofl:

While I agree with the exercise regime; trying to eat less than 800 kcal a day is too extreme. In the long term it's not sustainable and will lead to the eating you're trying to avoid. Try to aim for 1000 kcal; you'll still lose weight. I eat between 900 - 1200 kcal a day and I am losing well despite being unable to exercise yet. I lost 4.5lbs last week and 3lbs so far this week.

Hope all goes well and don't beat yourself up about the slip!

I am so glad for you. I am hoping I experience that when I have my second fill next week!

I don't recall if I posted about my 1st fill one week and two days ago on this thread or not but I DO know, that it caught me by surprise. I have been reading about 1st fills not making a difference for so many people that when Mine did and has made a difference I was quiet shocked. My band is working right now like it's supposed to.. it's fabulous.

The only thing I can figure is that my band is smaller than the ones I'm reading about that can't tell a difference in their 1-4th fills. Mine holds 4 thingies and he put in 2.2 and scheduled me to come in three weeks later. That's less than two weeks away and no way will he be putting in more unless I lose so much weight by then that the fat around the top of my stomach goes away and my bands losens up. i weight 318 9 days ago and i'm down to 306 now... without even trying. it's just coming off:clap2:
