I'm sorry your feeling so much pain. I had my first fill on Friday {last week} it was 6cc's . I had no problem except i hiccupped for 5 minutes and i lost 4lbs this week . Call your Doctor !

I know i haven't updated in a while, so i thought i'd jump on now for acouple of minutes. I had my first fill on the 19th of october. I am currently down 35.5lbs , I think this is a great invention. I can pretty much eat anything except grapes i slime with them! But it's alright , I am never hungrey , but i do eat lunch and dinner with a cup of tea in the morning. I eat a plate of dinner and i'm usually full until lunchtime the next day. I'm really glad i didn't stray from what the doctors told me to eat and when. i have friends who haven't lost as much and always feel hungrey, because they cheated so, they most likely stretched their band out already. I 'm going back to my second job on the 4th and i'll pretty much be back to normal. i gat a walk in every morning and then i've been really cleaning my house. The trash men aren't to happy , but i can run through my attic without falling over alot of junk. I'm gonna be starting a gym the first of December, so that will helpme too. Thank GOD for edies sf ,ff vanilla and chocolate ice creams . there the best in a crunch. We'll i'm making halloween cookies and i want to get back to it. It's amazing i'll eat 2 and be full. I've been telling everybody about the band and i've even showed the little scars that are left on my stomach. there not gonna be there much longer. coco butter and neo sporin! I 've got a hugh wedding coming up onthe first of December i 'm shooting for a whole 50 lbs off!! see ya.

I purchased liquid centrum at wal-mart its pretty good.

I woke up this morning with my period I just had it 2 weeks ago. My stomach is black and blue and swollen where the port is. The doctors office told me it was alright. I'm starting to get hungrey again and this time it's for normal food a ham and cheese hoagie with mayoand fresh tomatoes. I better drink more protein shakes. I can't wait until next week , I can go to phase 3. I am up and moving around but i'm very tired and can't sleep. I've got the whole house to my self too. I forgot the dogs here but he is sleeping. This is a lesson in self perseverance.:think

I was banded on wednesday September 5th, I'm very sore where the port area is and I can't bend over yet. But I feel really good and I'm down 10lbs since the 2nd. The first 3 days are alot of sleeping and alot of pain. just take your medicine and you'll do good.

:whoo:Septemeber 5th, I arrived at the hospital at 11am, they took me right in a prepped me for surgery. I removed all my clothes put on there lovely hospital gone, it covers everything. they put special knee highs on me and then socks . They started an IV, and gave me a hepperan? shot for blood clots. Then i waited, I was suppose to go in at 1pm but the girl before me ran into problems, she was having the full gastric bypass. I finally got in at 2:50pm they wheeled me into the operating room, They put my arms out straight onto a extension of the table, they then told me they were gonna start to give me something to sleep. I woke up later, they told me the surgery was great. They put me in recovery. I fell back asleep i didn't wake up until 7pm. My husband took me home. I didn't even go upstairs i laid on the sofa and fell back to sleep. I stayed there for 2nights and 2days. Friday night i slept in my bed, ilove my bed:).Iwoke up Saturday morning took a shower and felt better . I had a cup of tea and 15minutes later i ate some cream of wheat. My husband went to the store last night and he bought me all the stuff for my liquid diet. I am hungry though. I wish i could have a scrampled egg. I know it would take the edge off. But i'll do what they tell me to because i want to wear my size 8 jeans again and i didn't put all this effort in to blow it. I'm going to the wal-mart tonight to get vitamins and some other things i need. I hope the soreness in the port area gets better soon , the area stings where the hepperan was administered.I've been putting neosporin on it. The hard thing is i want to drive my car and get out of the house and they told me no driving for 2weeks. But i'll survive, as always!:car::car::car::mad::car::scared::car:
