Cory,

Is that correct that youv'e lost 91 lbs without a fill? Wow... Did you have restriction?

I'm getting my first fill next Thursday. Have to use a lot of will power to set the ol' fork down and say "full". You've done it for months! Amazing...

I was very conscience of when i was getting full. As soon as i felt myself gettting full i would stop eating. By the time I had lost the sensation of getting full I was used to eating a certain amount.

honestly, I think i could have lost quite a bit more by now but I've been pretty lax about exercise. Betweeen going to school full time, working full time the wife and a 2 yr old, it's been a struggle to find time to work out.

When I first looked into banding I spent alot of time on this board...reading mostly, seldom posting. Then I got my band (7/17/06, Elmer Valin, St Ray's, New Haven, CT) and was on every moment. Things have gone really well and I find myself on here less and less but I am very happy to find this all male thread!

Tarami - How did things go with Valin? His office is great and you are in good hands at St. Ray's. Let me know if you have any questions.

I finally made it. I was banded this morning. Love the hospital has wireless internet access. It hurts a lot but I did it. That was a huge hurdle. First day of the rest of my life!!!

Been home since about 5:30 last night. Port is pretty painful, but the gas pains have decreased a bunch. Ate some SF Jello a bit ago. All in All I don't feel too bad now that I have gotten some rest.

Thanks all

Chris

Hey Ted,

I think you'll find that 1 real egg is really filling. I had 1 scrambled egg with a slice of cheese this past saturday at 8am and it kept me filled well past lunch! I couldn't belive it.

Right on Chris. My port is still a bit tender 2 weeks post op, but not too bad. Walking will help work that gas out, and Gas-X can help. I also found that the heating pad on my shoulders really helped with the discomfort.

Congrats Chris and Jonathan!!! After the next couple days, you'll start feeling a lot better. Get your sleep in, but the walking is very important too.

Welcome aboard!!!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
