Hi!!

Not only am i off track, i have totally derailed !! I am so mad at myself right now. But the first thing i have done to get back is i have made an appt with my doctor and therapist....

I need to talk this out and probably need a fill. It will be my third.

So lets do this...... hang in there.......

Hi all May bandsters!! I was banded may 20th And have lost 32lbs. I feel great! I have had only one fill. My dr did not want to give me another one until I stop having stucks!! I am still learning to chew chew chew and eat slower. Which is much better now. I also need to work out more than I am. Have never liked it and still don't but I know how important it is for my progress ! I was on vacation and did ok (not perfect) but that def effected my weight loss. So back on track and hope I can get a fill this Tuesday at my appt. keep up the good work everyone !!

Wishing you the best !! Listen to your doctor and you will be fine ! Best decision I have ever made !

Ok

Really ??? People like you need to stop ! Jerk

My Little Buddy !! Kinda like a workout buddy this is my weight loss buddy

Best of luck !! Banded may 20th and feeling great. Just listen to your doctor and you will be fine !!

What a positive and great thread ! I feel the same. Best decision ever. Living life and enjoying every minute. Being banded has been the best thing for me mentally. I can't believe how this has changed my mindset In so many ways. I feel stronger, confident and for once in a long time I feel pretty

I have to ask' date=' did it hurt??

I have wondered if the numb the area before giving you a fill, etc..lol I'm kinda nervous about that.

Good Luck![/quote']

Hi ! No it did not hurt at all. Se had me lay back the next thing I know it's done. So liquids for 24 then she said tonight I can have fish and tomorrow regular diet. I don't know if there is a difference yet! Time will tell. But I feel great !
