Yes @@Eclectick the inches comes off before the pounds, but keep in mind everyone is different. My Dr told me everyone looks at the scale and not the tape. For me the inches are melting ????

I mean don't eat any slider foods, eat high protein healthy foods, because slider foods are what gets you off the loosing track

Oh yes it's definitely worth it @@mimisturn especially if you are good to your new tummy

Had my one week post op visit today, and 10 lost...I am like wow....I don't know about other bandsters, but for this previous lab bandster, it took me 2 weeks to lose 10 on the liquid diet. I had a lot of scar tissue, so my Dr is extending the liquids for one more week, but I will be on thick liquids and not the clear liquids.

Thanks @@nessa259 congrats on your new journey????

Anyone out there experience severe back pain, if so, what did do to ease the pain?

Don't mind at all, I've been on liquids for 2 weeks and about to start soft foods, I've lost 14 lbs so far.

Don't be nervous, be excited. I had the band in 2005 and removed/revision September 18. I can already feel the difference, best dession I ever made because so far, I don't miss the sleepless nights, the vomiting, and the terrible acid reflux. Good look to you and congratulations on your new beginning????

Thanks sis, can't wait for our poach moments and a half glass of wine ????

Feeling very excited, hope I can get some sleep...anyone else

thanks, and yes I am keeping an eye on it. Seems like it came right when I started taking my Vitamins but I have taken these before, just not as many milligrams.

wow and congrats, sounds like you had a very good recovery. How is the weight loss progressing?

Ok thanks, and good for you we are on a roll!!!..I will try the citrus magnesium

Girl let me tell ya, I am beginning to feel the same way LOL, I had to ask what to take for constipation and they told me to use senokot. My Dr told me I had to much tissue damage so I am still on liquids, except I am on thick liquids, like Protein shakes and cream Soups. I can't start the semi solids until next week. I am with you, girl I couldn't take it anymore either so I was with you and Lil Wayne LOL....Today is a much better day, I feel little to no pain, and beginning to feel like me again, especially after losing 10lbs girl I couldn't believe it....I am loving it and it shows in my clothing, girl I had to pull out an old bra from when I was a few pounds lighter

Thanks everyone, @@CrazyJaney you were right, it was gas pain/muscles. My Dr recommended more walking and that did the trick. I do still have some pain, but not as server like before.

How did your first day go? Today I am going to my post op visit with my Dr., hoping I can start Protein and soft foods, we shall see.

Yes it does, it was just beautiful today in Texas, went for a couple of strolls and feed the ducks today, then pain set in, wasn't much, but I like you, just enjoyed being out????

I know, I backed off the codeine, don't like the way it makes me feel, but thank God for another day, I am getting there slowly, each day lesser pain, and today, the swelling is almost down????

Ok what kind of meds because I am on codeine and have medicated patches

I do have a question, do you still have pain at your incision area?

Alright, you go girl. I do feel much better today, minimal pain, did a lot of walking today. Let's keep in touch with our progress.

I have a pintrest account what's your username we can follow each other, I forgot all about pintrest. .thank you

Surgery went well, 2 day hospital stay, had some tissue scars but healing well????

I agree, I too am preparing for pureed foods, and looking for a good puree blender, my girlfriend did organic baby foods, may try it

Oh wow, be careful, and work on Wednesday you don't think that's to soon? My Dr advised at 2-3 weeks for revision patients
