ANyone else going around this time? I'm in Arizona. Really excited and a little nervous but READY!:grouphug:

Going well here, had the port stitches out today. All is healing well. Guess it will be about 2 wks or so before I also need a fill. Wait & see how the weight loss is going.

Doing MUCH better! Eating mushy food. Just a few more days till REAL food. My dr. doesn't do fills till 8 weeks out, so I don't get a fill till July 18th. But that's ok. I think I'll be able to handle Bandster-hell for a bit.

Can't believe it's been 3 weeks! I thought I'd NEVER get thru that first week of liquids... and nausea.. but I am stronger than I thought, I guess!

Hope all are doing well too!

Am also on soft foods til the 20th or so. I guess I must have been lucky as I only had one bout of nausea which was just the day I was leaving Mexico. I think I have done well. Have been careful to follow the food plan. A couple of times I did feel so full that I thought I would explode but having it come back on me, made me realize to be careful to let my fork rest in between bites.....

You are so right, only 3wks since surgery.....

Hello,

How is everone else doing?

I'm hungry alot it seems like. I go for my first fill on Thursday and I'm ready. I have to eat every 2 hours but it doesn't take much to fill me up. I haven't been on the scale since my 2 week visit.

I'm hungry lol. Trying to stick to my 1000 calories been a struggle. First fill isn't till July 1st. Hope it helps!

I'm on soft solids, and I'm at a complete stand still weight wise, getting my first fill next wek (fingers crossed) It has been raining non stop here in NYC so everytime I put the sweats & sneakers on it's torrential downpour & The days it's cleared up and been beautiful I've been stuck in the office!!!! (JUST FINISHED 11 DAYS STRAIGHT of working)

5 Weeks out... Who else is in Banster hell????

5 Weeks out... Who else is in Banster hell????

ME!!!!

I can't wait for my fill! July 18th.

I have noticed that I don't eat 'as much' but I can still pretty much eat anything. I had pb'ing one day when I ate some turkey too fast, but otherwise, everything is free game! I'm trying really hard to not eat bad things...

But I do notice that I get hungry/hunger pains instantly. I have to keep cheese and raw nuts on hand to tide me over between meals.

How are you doing?

Im in Bandster hell with you ladies. Really pushing the exercise. I am pretty good food wise up until I get home. I just get so hungry I have a really hard time keeping my portions small. I can't wait for my fill which had to be moved forward to July 13th:sad:

Don't know if it's Bandster Hell but I am hungry. Last night I ate like before surgery and I've had my first fill a week ago. Have my 2nd fill July 9. At this point I have 3ccs and not much restriction.:bored:

My first fill is supposed to be tomorrow... I needed it like a week ago!!!!!!!!

6 WEEKS OUT 21st'ers!!!!!!! WHO'S READY TO START EXCERCISING FOR REAL!!!!!!! (not me at the moment, though that was my plan for today (my day off) I got Sh*t for sleep last night) Though I am ready!

Im still waiting for my first fill and am really trying (not very successfully) to eat right the evenings are the hardest. I am however exercising like crazy. I am doing curves 5 times a week and am on the second week of the couch to 5 k program. I feel better and I know I am losing inches based on the looseness of some of my clothes but my scale is staying stubbornly in one place sigh

Then i don't feel so bad. No weight loss in over 2wks no matter what I do. Going for 1st fill on the 9thjuly. Sure hope it helps. Still eating lightly & I find it hard to figure out why no weight loss at all. If I try to eat a little too much, it all comes back up... Yeah, hungry as well.

I have had a fill for a week. I've been able to maintain my surgery loss (20 lbs), but not much else even though I am walking at least 30 minutes each day.

Still having trouble with head hunger.
