My scale has been stuck at the same number for 7 days now. So frustrating. Definitely will not reach my October goal, but I will mark a loss for the month. Second fill coming up on Monday October 29th, maybe that will produce some scale action

Hello fellow August Bandsters. My band dates was August 2. Pre-op weight 256.8; surgery day 244.6. Today 222.22. First fill was September 11,no clue how much because doctor won't tell. However ecstatic over saying good bye to 34 pounds. Exercising religiously everyday and even more on the weekends. Made a lot of room in the closet, some pants looked like clown pants and had to be packed away. Feeling really good about myself. Really being good with keeping my daily food journal on my fitness pal. Next fill is October 29. Going to Myrtle Beach next weekend and nervous about getting in my exercise like at home. But the beach is beautiful so I plan to be there walking. Wishing all my fellow August Bandsters continued success

Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. Having a good week. Put on a pair of capris and they fell off buttoned. Yay!

Omg, how horrible. I too choose not to tell anyone beside my husband, best friend and one lady at work who had it done. So far I believe no one has said a word. But I get no support or encouraging remarks from my coworkers, they all say I am losing too fast and I feel they suspect something. My mother was in company with one secretary and said to her isn't it great how well she was doing and my secretary blew it off and turned the conversation to herself. My mother said they are very non supportive. People are just so jealous. Don't let it get you down but I would confront her and Him to why they would do that to you. They are small minded people who need to do things like that to make themselves feel better. Keep your head up high and Rick the world with your new body. Good luck

I had my first fill on September 11. That day and days to follow I felt no different. Then on Monday I had made this really hearty beef barley soup, you could say stew. It was a crock pot recipe and was fabulous. I measured put my small serving and sat with hubby to eat. I toasted some bread for my hubby and tore off a very small piece. Dipped it into the remains in my bowl and thought I chewed it well. And well it happened - it was stuck. Wow, what pain. As an old habit I grabbed water, well what a mistake that was. Unfortunately it had to come up. Then tonight, while eating dinner I had the same issue with beans. I tried to analyze was I eating too quick,not chewing well or too big a bite. Not sure but again same situation. Is it possible that after a week, the fill kicked in? Guidance would be appreciated. That pain from being stuck is horrible.

My doctor won't tell me either. I went for my first fill on 9-11 and I asked how ,uch and he said that is for him to know and he is the doctor and I do not need to worry about it. Frustrating, I am a need to know kind of person. However, I feel no different with this first fill.

I was not diligent with posting each Monday but I did what I promised. I got in my protein each day as I promised. Got on that treadmill I own and did 60 minutes each day. And when I weighed in on the first day of my posting ( August 7th) I was 248 and as of today I am 232.8. My goal was 235 as of today so I accomplished that. Hooray for all of us. Onto next month. Looking forward to new goals.

Thanks for your question. I am in the same boat and will try some of these siggestions.

Mas79 fitness pal app is a wonderful tool. I go for my 1 week post op tomorrow and am hoping the scale has good results. According to pre-op on my scale at home and today it is 18 pounds. Keep up the good work and much success. Looking forward to the next stage of this journey to more than clear liquids. Yippee baby food, never thought I would be so happy for baby food. Bought my sippy cup tonight. My husband wanted to know when the diapers were coming.

I was banded Thursday, August 2, 2012 and not until 5pm at night. It was a long dry day and after surgery I wondered what I did to myself. But now 5 days later and am feeling really great. My new sense of fullness is In the left shoulder at this point. I wake with left shoulder pain too. Hopefully in time it will subside. Just get through the first few days and you will see the light. I have no real hunger pangs and am following doctors orders to get in 60-80 grams of protein plus at least 64 ounces of water each day. Not always easy but for health purposes you need to do it. Stay with the clear liquids and protein shakes, you don't want to screw it up. We have all came a long way to this decision and should really make the necessary changes. I am afraid to stretch my band by misbehaving. And in my opinion I have not had any cravings or desires for my old choices. Good luck on your journey. Since my pre-op diet which started July 22, 2012 to today August 7, 2012 I have dropped 18.4 pounds. So this is very encouraging. Best of luck to all.
