Hi Yaz,

I've been following your thread and wanted to know how you're doing now. Did you grow to love your band or are you still hoping to get it out?

I hope all is well.

Hello, well I'm not has depressed now as I was a week ago but mainly its because I'm eating real foods. :shades_smile: I'm supposed to be on the mushy stage but I'm not I've eaten any and all foods BUT in moderation. I guess I'll keep it in for now but won't have any fills for now.

Yeah! I'm so glad to hear that things are looking up for you. The liquid faze of this diet is murder. I get so grumpy when I'm on it that now, when I get a fill, I warn my family that they won't want to be around me for the 2 days of liquids that follow. LOL

Hang in there Yaz, I think you'll grow to love your little friend.

That seems like a reasonable decision for the time being. that way you have time to adjust to the changes of the band.

Good decision. If you never fill it it wont really be like you have one at all, then if you ever decide to use it you can get a few fills and see if you like that. Once you see what a great tool it can be and how easy they are to have you will be glad you have it. Just takes time. The way you felt in the beginning is probably more common than most realize.

Yaz. Are you still out there? How is life with the band? Are you adjusting? My surgery is next Monday and I'm nervous but would love to know how you're doing.

Yeah I'm still here :Dancing_biggrin:.....I'm doing better. I had my first fill on April 15 but I still have no restriction so I'm eating normal. :glare:

It took me 3 fills to get restriction, but I'm finally there. I was afraid that I was going to lose my restriction this time (I had my fill a week and a half ago) and then Sat. I had my first stuck problem. I'm a little stressed out right now, my daughter is graduating college tomorrow and in the process of buying a house and it wasn't until my back started hurting too that I figured out this all may be contributing to my extra tightness.

I'm limping along on liquids and mushies, hoping I won't need an unfil, but I'm not making a decision for another week or so.

Hope all's going well with you!

Hello Yaz, I was just wondering how you're feeling about your band now, or if you even still have it. I see that you haven't posted on here in a while. I'm going to be getting mine within a month and a half and am really researching as much as I can. So far, I'm thinking the hardest part will be the 2 week pre op diet and the couple of weeks after...Just wondering how you feel now:)

      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
