22 for me

22 for me

Can anyone tell me what to expect from my first fill. I will get my first fill on March 5 and was banded on 21 January.

Checking in up 2

Hello all thought I would stop by and give an update. I went and saw my doctor today for my follow up appt. All went well. I can officially start mushies. Have to wait a week before I can start water aerobics. So I well be hitting the gym in the morning. I will get my first fill on March 5. I want to be down 10 pounds by then. I think I can do it.

Good Morning Nathan, Let me start by saying im not an expert, I was just banded on 01/21/13. I hope this may help. Firts off your doctor may not have put any Fluid in your band. I know mine didn't. I haven't tried eating anything to scared. I may be able to eat more I just don't want to push it. That's not saying that i haven't been hungry because I have I just drink more fluids. Also most doctors won't give you your first fill until six weeks after surgery. But every doctor is different. I hope this help.

Good Morning all, I myself am newly banded band date 01/21/13 highest weight 250 pre-opt diet two weeks liquid weight 240, and two weeks of post-opt diet I'm down to 229. First let me say reading each and everyone of your posts is great inspiration. I'm following all the rules, and will have my first two week appt with my doctor on this coming Tuesday. Now to answer your question, I'm doing this not to just be healthy for my husband and kids but for me. Life is not promised to anyone, but I can do what I can to make. I wanted something that will hold me accountable for over eating. I made a promise to myself if I was going to go through something like this that I have to give it 1000%. To me it's one of the many tools to help the second is the gym which I have already joined and as soon as I get the ok will be going. For me this is a life style change. And have included my kids and husband in this to have a healthy family.

How did you deal with being banded and your cycle? I;m having a rough time ugh.

I finally got some good ole sleep. Haven't posted in a few day's. Just thought I give a little update. Was banded on the 21st. went back to work on the 28th. and have been feeling pretty good. Other than not being able to sleep until last night I slept really good. I'm doing pretty good with my protein and fluid intake so I'm happy about that. I have my follow up appt on tues. and can't wait for that. I have no problems just want to hear what the doctor has to say. Everybody enjoy you day.
