:thumbup:Finally!! A 'sixties' group and I learned today that I will be banded on 10/18! I am so ready.:lol2::biggrin: I love to read everyone's posts. It seems like I learn something new with every post I read. Keep the advice coming. I have a friend that was banded about two years ago and I try to listen to what she says. She did tell me a secret for whaen something gets 'stuck'. Sip on pineapple juice (6 oz.). It will take a little while, but it will work. Thank you all for being here. It really makes a difference.:)

Welcome, Pitpat to the journey of a lifetime! Good luck, and feel free to join our group here. We are all on the same journey, some have been here longer, but we are all here to help or co-miserate with you. Welcome aboard. Karen(kll724)

welcome PitPat, This is a great site. I am doing well, had my staples out and feel so much more comfortable. I am still on mushies but can eat tuna, egg and chicken salad. I have found some great pureed Soup recipes and have been testing them out. Anyone have any good ideas for the next stage . I am almost afraid to start eating solids again. You guys are terrific!

A warm welcome to PitPat and Jan. You found a great site here. Jan: I wish you the best tomorrow. I remember how nervous I was, but I am sooooo very glad that I had the LapBand. Hope to get to know you both better as you shrink.

Hi all,

Surgeon rechecked my band, today. The placement looked fine under floroscope. So, he replaced some of my fill. I asked for 1 cc, I think he put 2 1/4. He said if I start pb'ing again, I should call him. He doesn't think I should loose anymore, but I don't want to gain, either. I am happy with my loss, and if I do lose a 1lb or 2, it wouldn't be so bad. Loving life, now. Karen (kll724)

Hi Kll. glad your feeling better. Its funny how each doctor does the same procedure but in a different way. My doc won't give a fill until your six weeks post op. I have lost weight but it's not because of the band. It is teaching me self control though and let me just say I need some of that. Keep up the good work! Also, Pitpat how are you doing?

Hello! I had been thinking about earlier tonight. How are you? Tell me everything! I'm still set for 10/18. I wish it was already behind me. It seems like forever since I started the prep but I know part of that was me waiting for the baby to come. So......it was worth waiting.LOL. Please fill me in on what's been going on with you. I'll be waiting to hear. Take care!

      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?
