Beck 6/4/12

WOW I am so HAPPY for you and wish you the best of luck!! I just got banded on June 4th 2012.. I also have been going through a lot and trying to let my childhood not hold me back any longer!! I am hope having this tool will help me stop the yoyo diets I have done for years?? I wish you the best of luck!!

I am new to this site and can't wait to meet everyone here!! On the stuff I have been reading on the internet about the band is I shouldn't really be losing weight b/c my band is empty?? I know it has only been 5 days and that I shouldn't be weighing myself but I just cant help it. I am down 13 pounds!! Am I doing something WONG?? or am I just a lucky one who is losing the weight right away?? Like I said I know it has only been 5 days but now I am starting to feel hungry so not sure if I am really hungry or if it is out of habit to want to eat?? I am just now getting to where I can drink about 25oz a day. Any suggestions and or comments sure will help!!

Yes I know what you mean by being SCARED to get on the scale lol... I felt really bloatd as well but I just had to know lol... My hubby had to hide the scale from me b/c he didn't want to get down if the #'s were down.. I do want to weight myself once a week like I did when I went to weight watchers.. I can't WAIT to be like some of the other guys and gals on here that have LOST a ton of weight!!

For me the first 3 days i couldnt even drink half a water bottle let alone soups. I felt so full that my hubby had to make me drink the water. I never got darrhea either. I am now just getting to where i feel hungry so when ever I try to eat fat free sugar free jello i can only take about 2 -3 small bites and I am done.. I am sorry i don't think I am the right person to help ya if it is normal or not i just had my surgery on Monday.

Thanks Wendy!! Yes I have been eating sf jello but I am only able to get a few bites b4 I feel like if I eat again I am going to throw up?? Is that normal?? And b/c I am having a hard time drinking all the fluides I have been eating the pop cicles. I will just be glad when I can eat soilds again lol..
