Hi All,

Just introducing myself. I was banded on March 12th. I wrote a thread the other day in another forum to someone who is having gallbladder problems which I have had.

Anyway, lost about 15 lbs so far and starting to feel pretty good. People have noticed the difference in my face. I think I just feel good knowing I've made a big step in making a difference in my life.:clap2:

I lost very fast too.

It sure helps encourage you does't it?

Make sure you get your liquids in.

I loved and still love sf instant carnation breakfasts to drink.

Good luck and welcome.

Your band sister,

edie

Thanks all. I had some gallstones after my surgery so was on IV fluids which helped get me started. I also love the carnation instant Breakfast drinks and even drink them for dinner or have half if I feel hungry. I am a little nervous about the first fill though. Just when you get adjusted its like starting over again.

I was banded on 3/12/07 too. I've lost 12 lbs. Good luck! I'm excited to have the band in. I was a bit sore, but am feeling much better now. How about you?

I was banded on March 20 and I had to e-mail my nurse because if I had to drink another powdered anything, I was going to be sick. I would gag just taking a sip of a Protein Shake and I liked them at first. She talked to the pa and as of yesterday I can start adding creamy Soups. So far as of today I am down 24 lbs!!!!

Yippeee!! I just weighed myself and I've lost another pound. I had lost 7 lbs before the surgery and now I've lost 13, that's a total of 20 lbs!!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
