very normal, nothing has changed for you yet until you get a fill or two

me too, keep it up most days all day at work

My dr says liquids for 24 hours, then back to normal

went there last weekend, didnt see why all the fuss over it, what am I missing?

what were the problems with it? Why did you fail it? You have to get up and get moving at whatever stage you are in, you cant lay around and complain, that does not help anything out. Get up and get going, only YOU can do it.

Congrats Byrd awesome job!!!!!

cap full of Miralax everyday works wonders

Well I took the 60 mile challenge this month, I have missed 4-5 days, and I am at almost 54 miles walked. I only count the walking when I am walking for the exercise. I try to do over 2 miles a day and try to do 1 mile in 20 minutes

Congrats Kim on your decision, a year from now you will be so excited to see the progress you have made. Any questions please feel free to ask.

me to Shirley and this works great, one year later and so happy with the results

surgery Thursday back to work Tuesday for me Intimacy, up to how you feel and when you want it

everything will be fine, I think a little parania is fine, dont stress. A year from now you will be so glad you did it.

perfectly normal, please no freaking out. Relax relax, most people gain after surgery before they get there first fill

should have smacked her in her mouth, sounds like jealousy to me.

trouble meaning, trouble going down, maybe not chewed well enough, maybe to big of a bite, maybe to dry. The remedy, sometimes it will go down, usually it comes back up. Thats why you avoid those foods you have trouble with.

no problems here, just hope you dont need a drink very quick

I was told around 1200, somedays 1200 is impossible though

yes, my dr says bites no bigger than a pencil eraser, seems small but it works

Welcome Erin from PA and congrats on your decision!!!! You will love it

why wouldnt you tell them? They might notice the liquid diet or the mushies??

no sliders, no cereal, no soup, no shakes. meat first, small eraser size pieces and chew chew chew, then 1/3 to 1/2 cup veggies

Angie, Please do not be discouraged, it is normal after surgery to even gain a few lbs. After the swelling goes down you will be able to et just like before, like nothing has changed. Actually it hasnt changed yet. The change comes when you get fills, sometimes it will take or 4 fills to get restriction. My dr was very aggressive with my first fill and filled me to like 6cc in a 10cc band. I had super restriction after my first fill, some dr arent near as aggressive and it takes longer. I promise you one year from now you will be amazed at the weight you have lost. Any questions feel free to ask, anything

Does anyone do 5Ks or more? I want to do my first one on Thanksgiving Day, just a little nervous, I dont want to finish last.

need a buddy, text/email/chat

I was told the band size has to do with the amount of fat around your stomach??? not sure, and as you lose the fat where the band is, that is why you need fills to keep it tight
