I forgot to ask last time how many calories I should be eating now, I am 217 as of this morn and I'm eating around 900 to just under 1200 calories a day. Is this about right? Too much or too little? I've been walking but haven't started an exercise routine yet. I need to start but it's sooooo hard with 3 kids a full time job and full time school. I've been looking into quick workouts so I can squeeze them in.

Had my first fill on Monday and today I ate a peice of turkey and cheese for lunch and I guess I swallowed without chewing too good and I felt it go down weird. I took a sip of a drink and I felt the coldness trickle down with the food sooo weird. I'm just glad it passes down. Neverrrrrr want to get stuck lol.

I am soooo nervous about this giant needle being stuck into my yummy lol. I'm ready for this bc I am deff able to eat more and my weight loss has been stuck for the most part in the same spot now for 2 weeks. I just got back from Disney and despite all the temptations I ate mostly good. A couple of bites of desserts here and there but i ate proteins first and always veggies as my sides and I still managed to lose 1/2 pound lol

It wasn't sooo bad. It barely hurt just felt really weird. I only have 1cc in my band now that I got put in yesterday. I had nothing in it from surgery.

Suffolk here. Had surgery July 31st with dr. Angstadt

I was and able to drink wayyyyy over the required water amount and while I'm eating less i can still eat over 1/2 cup. I was banded July 31st start weight 243 current 219. But I've been stuck here for 2 weeks. I was supposed to have first fill on the 10th but I'm going away on sun on a airplane so doc said to wait until I get back. I am soooo ready for it. Currently I can't eat anything without problems. It's hard but I avoid the junk. I'm having a hard time with the carbs though. I love my Special K for breakfast In the AM and my whole wheat waffles with peanut butter.

I have been feeling and doing great. Surgery was July 31st. These past 2 days I have this weird soreness type feeling in my mid abdomen opposite site of port. Not sure if this is lapband related or not. It's not an excruciating pain more annoying. I was thinking gas or constipation at first but I'm passing both regularly. Any ideas or do you think it's even lapband related?

I'm feeling great. Having no problems with food. Going for my first full sept 22nd after my trip. I have noticed sometimes after I eat I get a weird feeling like a small pain in neck maybe in eating too fast? My weight loss has stopped for now at 218. But I was 243lbs in July be pre op so I'm feeling good about that. I just can't wait for my fill and for the weight to pour off.

I have A metal plate in my arm I've never set off detectors. I'm flying soon also and was just banded. All good things to know.

I can deff fe my port when pressing on my Belly lightly. Sometimes I can feel it easier than other days I'm 219lbs surgery was July 31st is this normal? Does this mean as I lose weight it's going to pop out?

I'm due for my first fill the week of sept 13thi was banded July 31st. I'm going to Disney sept 15th. I'm panicking that I'm going to get the fill and It will be too tight and ill be far away from home on vacation. Since I've never had a fill I'm not sure what to expect. Should I just get the full when I get back from vacation? One week won't make a difference right? I'm still doing good unfilled. I'm still losing some weight. I do feel hunger a little more but nothing like before and I still sometimes forget to eat a snack.
-
Thank you everyone. I called and changed my appointment until the Monday after I get home. My doc office recommended this.
-
I am so happy I did this so far also. I just wish I'd done it sooner. I turn 30 in 2 weeks. I think I'll just lie and say I'm 29 forever lmao

I feel my hunger returning. I try to keep myself busy if I know it's too soon since I've eaten. Amazingly I'm not craving any sweets or bad foods. I'm pretty shocked by this. I did eat red mango the other day. I was craving it sooo bad I got the fat free sugar free yogurt option and no toppings since in still on mushies. It was soo good and I found out you can add whey protein to any of their smoothies. Very excited about this. I go for a fill on sept 9th right before my Disney trip so eating small and good will be easier hopefully and ill be doing a ton of walking.

Started this journey at 242 now as of today I am 219lbs it's nice to see the numbers go down. Still got a way to go but making progress!!!!

My long term goal is 135-140. I had my surgery July 31st 2013. I'm excited to be healed and get a fill and see the pounds fall off. I can't wait to be under 200lbs again.
