Healthroad69 checking in at 192lbs. Down 3lbs. YAY! Good Luck next week everyone!

Good Morning All, Nov. 8th WEIGH IN...... 195 LBS. I'M DOWN 1.8 LBS. YYYYAAAAYYY! I didn't get a chance to do the two previous monthly challenges. I was having such a hard time the past two months with my Dr. changing my blood pressure medication, going back and forth with the weight. In the end, he realized that I didn't need to take the pressure medication anymore. I can truly say, the lap band has amazingly helped me achieved several of my goals. I'm officially off of my pressure medication. (Tear!) I also would like to add..... these monthly challenges are really motivating me to achieve my weight loss goal. You all inspire me so much and I would just like to say THANK YOU! Good Luck on your monthly goals.

Hello All,I was banded on April 13th. I had pain the first 2-3 days as to be expected. Day 4 and 5 I started feeling much better but was still dealing with the gas. It seems like I was starving on the all liquid diet and I was soooooo tired of the shakes. I'm finally on mushies. YAY!!! BUT.. the funny things is now that I'm on mushies, I'm not hungry as much. WTH!!! LOL! How am I supposed to get all of my protein in when I'm only supposed to eat when I'm hungry? Which is only supposed to be 3 meals a day. I found myself trying to drink a cup of milk often just to try to get the protein in. Here is where another one of my dilemma's is starting. It seems like everytime I drink milk (Skim Milk) it gives me gas like crazy. It settles inside my chest and left shoulder first then after awhile it comes out. I don't want to deal with this everytime I drink a cup of milk.I was 240lbs at surgery and now i am 228lbs. I'm down 12lbs and real excited about that!Congratulations to all of you April Bandsters!

Hello All, I am 1 week and 4 days post op. I pretty much got rid of the gas, drinking all of my Protein shakes and liquids. I feel as good as to be expected BUT I can feel me healing inside, I guess where the band is and it is soooo sore. It feels like a big cut with a scab on it. I guess I just want to get back to when I was pain free. LOL! How long did it take you to heal at least healed enough to bend or drive?

I'm going to attempt to drive tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

I'm the same way. I have a high tolerance for pain. I just want to get up and feel nothing. LOL! I feel alot better today. Not completely comfortable but its bearable. Thank you for your reply and much success on your journey.

Hi Becky, I was banded on April 13th. I have been experiencing everything that you are experiencing. I didn't make a BM until yesterday. I called my Dr. and they told me to take a laxative. The only thing is I had a hard time making a BM where I had to kind of strain a little to get it out. I was miserable. Needless to say, I felt much more comfortable and relieved when i was done. I too was and is still on only liquids. I start mushies next thursday. Up until Thursday I was unable to drink all of my shakes as well. I just drank a little here and there. The funny part is that I was making sure I got my Water in and still I ended up constipated. It's Crazy! LOL! But hang in there, you will be drinking whole shakes soon as well as having BM's. P.S. I am also sick of the shakes now. LOL!
