Oh I HOPE, I HOPE, I HOPE I feel this way when I get back. Hell, at this point, I just hope I get back. I'm "nerval" as my sister likes to say, I know because I'm cursing. (That was a really bad and obnoxoius curse, wasn't it? I'm so proud...!)

I'm so happy for you, Jenna and Jamie, and everyone else with the success of weight loss. Way to GO!

Jenna thats great!!! That would normally take someone 5-10 weeks. You did good girl!

So when did everyone start doing more strenuous exercise? Like running for example. That has always been the best way for me to shed pounds so I want to try and jog/walk. I am thinking in week 3 I can try it.

MORE MORE MORE!! I am obsessed! I am eating so good/healthy/according to plan without being hungry!!! WOOOOOOOOT!! My obsession with seeing the scale go down is like a torrid love affair!!

Jenna, I was lucky and dropped a good amount of weight in the beginning, too. Your body is detoxing and cleansing from all the liquids flushing out your colon. After 2 weeks of liquids I felt like I had a colon scrub, clean as a whistle and all that sludge gone. Everyone be warned - Jenna's kicking Band butt!

Jenna, I waited until my dr. released me for more strenous exercise. But you can do things like walking, treadmill, etc. Just listen to your body, if it hurts, don't do it.

Ok, Reality check for me! I was so damn excited that I went to the mall today and decided to walk walk walk. However I had to crawl crawl crawl into my bed when i got home. too much, too fast. I am slowing it down.

Jenna, I waited until I was 6 weeks post op to do any kind of exercise. The nutritionalist I had with Dr. Ortiz was not Dr, Miranda a year ago and she told me specifically not to do any exercise until I was on solid foods, she did not want me to become light headed or burn too much lean muscle mass until I was eating enough Protein and to besure I was healed all the way. Dr. Miranda may give different instructions then the nutritionalist I had.

Yes Michelle, thanks. I really should email Dr Miranda I think for suggestions. Pre op I don't think I was even listening to her I have to admit. I was so nervous/excited/anxious/etc about banding that all I talked to was like the teacher on Peanuts cartoons going "wa wa wa waaaaaa wa wa wa". Today was a reality check as I pushed a bit too hard. I don't think I hurt anything because it was just walking (not even fast pace). I just think I went too far. A good nap cured me.
