I can't believe our month of surgeries is about over, only 2 more days after today of surgeries.

Question: do you think on Tues. the 1st of July we should start a new thread for our daily checkin's and musings??

Kaylieghmom, I had hernia repair and it wasn't bad. One of my incisions is a little worse looking (not the port) but my pain was minimal, I would never had known had the dr. not told me. Good luck!

That's a good idea! I know that we're doing another thread where we're showing our progress, but I like daily check-ins.

Is anyone else having a problem taking an hour to eat their 2 oz? I can usually eat about 3/4 c. and it takes me SO less time to eat it than I'm supposed to be. I chew and chew, put my fork down between bites, small bites, etc. but dang, I'm done in 20 min. Anyone else???:Angel_anim:

Hi! My date is tommorow, June 27th! Sooooo nervous!

Deb

Hi! My date is tommorow, June 27th! Sooooo nervous!

Good luck to you. I was nervous too. I spent 2 nights at the hospital. It wasn't to bad. They gave me pain and nausea medicine. The only thing was the left shoulder pain. I don't feel it anymore. Thank God. Let us know how you're doing. :Angel_anim:

I eat pretty fast myself, I think I'm done eating a cup of food in about 15 minutes. I guess since I'm a teacher and I only get a 30 minute lunch, which is actually more like 20 minutes, I have learned (not by choice) to eat too fast. :smile2:

gardengrl... u are not alone

once the swelling went down and I could start fitting things in I started noticing that I am eating faster and I have felt none of the chest pain or discomfort from it... I can drink a 16.9 oz bottle of Water in less then half an hour... I am not taking more into my mouth then one swallow, but am still drinking pretty fast.

One of the girls at the Tuesday support group I went to said she was the same until her second fill and then EVERYTHING changed!!! And now she is back to eating slowly again... so we are not alone.

I am not a doctor and do not pretend to play one on tv I just think that once our swelling went down and our bodies are getting used to the band being there our old sensations will come back and with it old habits will try to creep back in until we have restriction... I am scheduled for a fill on July 14th (hhmmmm new thread there?? jazzie june first fill list :Angel_anim:) and am hoping that I am not gnawing my arm off by then...

Kim,

I have my first fill on the 14th too, was banded June 5th. I started solids today but evidently I have great restriction still. I could only eat a very little bit.

I'm so excited. Just saw the doctor today, going in for tests tomorrow, and will be in surgery on Monday! Woohoo!!

I don't know if I should stay in the June group, or join the July group since I'm borderline. Either way, I'm really looking forward to participating from now on.

Time to get this party started. I will be banded on Monday as well. Hope everything goes well for everyone on the 27th and 30th.

Can't wait to hear about your experiences and share mine with you. Thanks for all the support I have received here.

Hi to all Jazzy Junes. Sounds like everyone is doing good so far. I looked at the chart and it looks good. I gotta get on this. today is day nine for me since surgery. Full liquids are going down just fine and I'm getting hungry. Saturday I start mushies.:thumbs_up: I feel like I am in starvation mode. I have lost 7.2 since surgery on June 18 and and 9 preop so as of today I am down 16.2. :thumbs_up: Well good luck to everyone this week. See ya later

Beckyo:tt2:

Just wanted to take a minute to say thanks to those of you doing all the organization for our group. I really wanted to jump in somewhere and start posting after I joined, but there are so many different forums and threads that I was a little overwhelmed. I didn't even know where to start. When I got the invitation to add myself to the list I was so excited! It made me feel like I finally landed on a home for me in this huge community.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into this and making me feel so included and welcome! Please let me know if I can do anything to help!

I'm so excited. Just saw the doctor today, going in for tests tomorrow, and will be in surgery on Monday! Woohoo!!

I don't know if I should stay in the June group, or join the July group since I'm borderline. Either way, I'm really looking forward to participating from now on.

Lilly there is no borderline to it!!!!

U belong to us Jazzy Junes:tt2:

MUUUH HHHAAAAAHHHH HHHHAAAAHHHH

Hi all Jazzy Junes!..

This month has passed by soo quickly!.. Good Luck to those of you being 'banded' today and Monday.. and I hope everyone else is healing really well!.

I am doing great except for extreme hunger now. I was banded 18th June and have lost 14 pounds since that date. I am STILL on clears.. (must be a reason for these Spanish doctors to want to put me through hell.. Not allowed Protein shakes either, which confuses me as everyone else is on them so quickly!).. and have another 5 days to go until I can move to full liquids and very light purees.

I AM SO HUNGRY!.

But aside from that, my wounds are healing with NO pain. slight itching but nothing that a change of dressings and 'betadine' won't cure..

Port is still in quite a bit of pain (under boob area next to wire). but I hope that will go away quite quickly.. I have a lot of gauze padding there so that has helped a lot.

As for my restriction. I don't feel ANY now.. I can gulp my drinks with no problem.. so my swelling must have gone down quite a bit.

Due for a fill on 9th July. So will be happy when I get the restriction going.

Have been back at work for two days. I do get light headed (lack of nutrition probably!).. and extremely tired at the end of a full teaching day.. but other than that.. I am a very happy lady. I don't think I have EVER lost 14 pounds before.. and in 8 days!!

Looking forward to the 'new Jazzy Junes thread' so we can all keep in contact!.

(also looking forward to puree's ha!!.. food FOOD FOOD!!.. surrounding me everywhere and not a bite to eat!.. hey ho.. have to keep busy!!)

regards to all !!!. what a great month 302 of us!!.. what a team!!..
