Okay, I am wondering what does PBing mean? I am getting my first fill Wednesday and would like to know.

I go Wednesday to get my first fill. I hope that it helps. It is really frustrating, but I am sure that it will get going again soon. I guess after losing 20 lbs (water or not) I got my hopes up that I would lose some more. I know that is unrealistic though. I am hoping that I can reach my goal by my 10 yr anniversary this September 19th. My hubby and I are going to take a nice trip and I want to be looking good in my bikini by then..lol

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice.. I am just going to keep doing what I am doing. My doctor didn't give me a guideline as to how much protein to eat. Just said to eat protein first. Hopefully, after my fill wednesday it will start dropping again.

That is awesome..after only 20 lbs I have been able to fit into some shirts and pants I couldn't wear before. Feels great!

I get filled Wednesday..let me know how it goes. I hope that it helps me to start losing weight again.

I have been walking 2-3 miles a day...Maybe I am gaining muscle..I will try getting in more protein a day. Do you worry about the carbs?

Down to 208..down 10lbs. Got 3 more to go, but I have been stuck at 208 for a week..ugh.

I am 1 week post op tomorrow and I am struggling with head hunger..so bored with jello and soup. Anyone else having this problem and what helps? I got one more week of this and don't know how I am gonna make it. Any tips?

I can feel mine and I too find myself feeling of it often. I guess it is because you have a foreign object in there and it is a little wierd feeling. Just glad to have the band and port.

6 more days...I can do this! I have no choice , but to do this. It is hard, but so worth it. I fit into a old pair of jeans I couldn't wear this morning, so that gave me some more motivation. I love how my clothes feel big. Hoping everyone is hanging in there on the infamous stage 1.

I think my scale is lying again...15 lbs in 6 days...that shouldn't be possible. So excited!

I wish I knew what would help. I think we need a veterans opinion....missy or floridays??? Are you measuring what goes in? I wish I could help more.

Lol...on a positive note..15 lbs gone...I admit I put a pickle in my mouth for a second just for the salty taste..lol. I guess we will all get there..slowly.

Thanks for the tips. I never thought of blending cottage cheese. I will try that. I can honestly say I am not hungry..just missing whole foods.

My gas kept making me burp..putting arms over head and walking helped move it.

I had surgery on 2/28 and sticking to my stage 1 diet foods. I also drink 3 protein shakes a day. Is it normal to feel weak or light headed during this stage?

welcome...I was banded on 2/28. The best decision I have made for my health. Good luck on your journey!

Congrats. I was banded on 2/28. It takes some getting use to..but so worth it.

I started feeling better yesterday. Guess my body was just getting used to the new diet.

Awesome story. My daughter tells everyone about my surgery..she is 5. She says my mom is going to have surgery so she can play outside with me more. Kinda makes me feel bad..but at least I am on the right track now. I am gonna make her proud.

That is great..ready for my first fill on 3/18.

Thanks...I am shocked about how quick the 10lbs came off.

Awesome! Can't wait for that experience.
