Hey September Bandsters, I haven't been on for a long time. Life has been crazy, between working full time and two kids and don't forget a fiancee and house and........ LOL!!!!!! I was doing so good but I have hit some plateaus and of course am stuck in one now. I know I haven't been exercising like I should--having a hard time finding the time. I have had two fills and after this last one, the weight isn't coming off and I had a couple of stuck episodes. I know I was eating too fast, since I am always rushing around. I only have about 1000 calories a day, so I know I am not eating too much. I am hungry ALOT This just gets frustrating! Hoping everyone is doing good! I hope next time I log on I can tell you things are better. Wishing warmer weather comes quicker so I can get outside and get moving! Keep up the good work! -
I haven't been on in forever!! I need to get back on track, especially with exercise. I have been slacking with finding the time.

I hit a plateau again--very frustrating!! I know that weight is coming off, but I don't understand why all of a sudden it stops. Grrrrr My portions had grown because I stopped measuring, but thats when the most weight came off. Very confusing Well I have gotten back on track but now this plateau. -
2nd fill is scheduled for Jan.11, I can't wait, too many weeks between fills, I just couldn't get an appointment any earlier!

How Often Do You Weigh In?
Erika78 replied to Dawn200321's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will admit too, I weigh myself everyday! Unfortunatey my scale at home is about 5 pounds less than the doctor's office. Well its a good thing mine at home is saying less-lol I know the scale is going to change everyday, but I guess I have a little OCD, I just have to -
Thank you to all the veterans who have served our wonderful country, especially the love of my life!! I

Oh, I know exactly what you are talking about. Its not the same as it was right after surgery cause of that gas they put in. This is after you are done eating or during and these burps come from the pit of your stomach. I sound like a man--not cute. I am thinking its a sign from my body telling me that its had enough. I don't really know

I had my first fill today too under fluro. Very weird Keeping my fingers crossed that this jump starts weight loss again, cause it had really slowed down and I am disappointed. liquid diet today for me too. Thank the Lord its only for one day. Good luck

Had my first fill today. Down another 2 pounds for a total of 23. I was banded on 9/29. The fill was under flouroscopy. It didn't hurt but was just weird feeling. The Dr. put Fluid in but had to remove some when the xray showed that nasty contrast didn't want to go down. I have to admit that I am really happy the weight is coming off, but I really thought it would come off quicker. It is very frustrating to only hear 2 pounds when you have been following the "diet" to a T Sorry just needed to vent, kinda aggrevated today!! Liquids today isn't helping with the hunger either. Wishing all of us continued success in this LONG journey with many bumps in the road. -

I was banded on Sept.29 and I am having my first fill on Nov. 8th. I have been slacking on drinking the Protein shakes--I hate them. I am only getting in about 6-8 Tablespoons of food. Mostly protein and then maybe a vegetable. I usually only eat 3 meals a day, maybe a sugar free popsicle at night. I was wondering if anyone has a problem getting cold things down. I was having TONS of pain in my chest and figured out it was the cold Water I was drinking. I have now switched to room temp. water but I am dying for ice cold water. Thanks, Erika -
Went to Dr. today for 3 week post op check, I am down another 5 lbs for a total of 21 lbs. Feels good cause I was getting annoyed that its not quicker

One week since surgery! I thought I would be feeling much better but not really what I was expecting. I did way too much today and is suffering cause my left side hurts to move! I have progressed to pureed food. What a wonderful feeling not to be on only liquids. I don't know if everyone else experiences this, but anytime I eat something I have to burp and I mean burp--loud and long. On the positive side between the one week pre-op diet and the week after surgery on liquids as of yesterday I am down 16 lbs---Yeah!!!!!!!! -
6 days post op! Feeling better everyday, meeting with surgeon today for post op visit. Praying he says I can move on to mushy food.

Can't help feeling hungry and pissed when my family is eating pizza!! I know it was my choice to have surgery and of course my family needs to eat dinner, but really!!!! Sorry just needed to vent. Questioning why the hell did I do this to myself
