I usually crave ice a lot when my iron is low.

I felt the same way, but once you get some fills, bread and pizza are much harder to eat. Knowing how bad they make me feel makes me crave them much less. Also...I was just plain hungry all the time ( it seemed) until I had my 3rd fill last week. Now less food satisfies me and I stay full for much longer. I wasn't sure I really believed in the "green zone" until I hit it. Just hang in there and if you feel like having a slice if pizza and you track your calories and have an allowance for it...it should be fine. Good luck!

I noticed it in my belly and my feet first. It was so nice to have my shoes fit me better and not struggle so much to get them on.

Starting the Journey :-)

Usually it is outpatient, but I've seen a few people on here that stayed overnight. -

Dr. Voellinger is great! He was my surgeon, so you must live near me. Good luck with everything! You are in good hands! -

I can't believe you had staples! I didn't even have stitches. They used this surgical "super glue" which was the coolest stuff! Glad you are doing well!
-
So happy for you! I can't wait to feel like that, too!
-
Sounds like you are ready for this and are doing great! Good for you! I wish you the best!

Sugar free jello is also great to have on hand. It will make you feel like you are actually eating real food amongst all the liquid...but is still considered a liquid, so is allowed. Good luck!

I walk 30-40 about 6 days a week and I try to keep my calories around 1200/ day. I am hoping to up my workouts and hopefully do better over the summer when I have more time.

Erica313 replied to dream_small2013's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I was banded 12/6 and have lost 35 pounds. I went through a 2 month plateau where I kept losing and gaining the same 3 pounds. So discouraging...but I'm still trying! I am hoping to do better over the summer when I'll have more time to work out, etc. I'll get there slow but sure! -

Just stick with liquids for a day or 2 to help things calm down. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Erica313 replied to kbell2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That really helped me! I've been upset about only losing 35 pounds so far and your pics just showed me what a difference it makes. I guess I am just going to be one of those slow losers...but every bit counts!
