Weight Gain After 2Nd Fill-Looking For Advice/encouragement!
skirtgirl replied to The Whela's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Whela, I can talk much faster than I can type on my phone , so I will send you my personal information do a private message ...but I will say that I am in the same boat as well .I live in san antonio texas , single and no kids as well . and have 50 pounds to lose ....I've had that extra 50 pounds for at least the last 7 years . I get the same criticism .....people saying it was a waste of money , why didnt I just go to the gym ... or that I look fine the way I am . even a couple of my sisters begging me not to do it saying that I would be throwing up all the time . I was banned in march 19th . I'm still on liquids and still off of work . I'm doing fine , losing weight and im very positive about my band in my decision im getting it !today is my 9th day and I'm down 9 lbs. BMI was 31 day of surgery. I'm sure it will not stay at this rate ....but I am happy with how I feel so far . glad I found a few people who are in the same boat as I am . I read the others and I never really know how much weight they have to lose it's different when you have a lot more weight to lose as well . everything plays a part . I wish you luck and support is here if you need it . call me, email me , text me ...anytime .....Gina in San Antonio -
I'm not worried about counting calories for glass of wine even if they are empty calories ...considering be rediculous amount of calories I have already given up . like all the burgers and fries and pasta and pizza . so trust me ....I've made my sacrifice ....I feel no guilt as I drink my wine ....and I'm still dropping the pounds every morning when I get on the scale !

I made a mistake on my last post I was banded on the 19th ...so I'm a few days ahead of you . your gas will pass : ). it's great that you were doing good if you're walking this early ....I was not able to walk down the street until today . it's just been up and down the hallway and in the backyard . but today was a really good day for me ! even got out to the store for 2 hours and bought a dress ! it was my first time driving too since surgery day.

I still get help ...in n out of bed . when I don't have help here I have to do it on my own and I really struggle . I am very surprised that I am not feeling better and this being my seventh day banded. I am walking around but not much a little bit in the backyard and here inside the house up and down the hallway . haven't got out on the street or at the park at all . I'm just being a big chicken and feel I will not last long out there . glad I have 1 more week away from work .
