I love the part when it's over, but seriously I love iHeart radio without music I cannot exercise.

Thanks I needed that said this one, I started at 321,

If there is one time people think it's okay to overeat it's the holidays, one girl where I go to get my surgery was actually getting negative comments because she was going to "miss" thanksgiving. Maybe you should pack up something you know your FIL shouldn't have and send it to him.

How did it go?

I can't swing my arms when I work on the treadmill I have a hand pedaler that I use for 1/2 hour after getting off the treadmill to work out my arms a bit I put it on high resistance hope it helps.

LOL!! No kidding I once had so many teeth filled at once that the numbing medicine numbed my toungue for 2 weeks I lost 15lbs just not being able to taste anything.

I had my 1st fill the 18th not sure how much he put in but I'm on solid foods and don't really feel much yet I've heard people on here say sometimes it takes a few fills, with you being on liquids you may not feel it right away.

Seems all I want to do is eat today, I've done real well as far as eating Protein today, and the types of food I'm eating but, I sat down to some grilled chicken and was dipping in light ranch dressing, and when the chicken was gone I honestly wanted to cry, because I wanted more I could have eaten more, but I had 2 servings, It's head hunger really I don't feel physically hungry any way I've had a Protein Bar since then but I don't know what's wrong with me today.

I had my surgery Friday now enjoying broth and Jello. lol Everything went well, he even repaired a hiatal hernia for me. My next Drs visit is Dec 4th. I'm in a bit of pain mostly the left shoulder right now. Got my pain meds though.

I made it i did finally get on the treadmill and after that I watched TV and used my one of those bicycles that your can sit in your lap and work your arms a bit. It did help me take my mind off of it.

I had a near impaction, I don't know if it collected for a whole week or what but I suggest Miralax.

@@SandyM just one so far

Great JOB!!!

The shoulder pain surprised me a bit but I didn't find post off all that painful, congrats and good luck.

@@pink dahlia LOL I'll keep that in mind.

This isn't easy to write I hate critisicm, I hate it a lot I get enought of it from my Mother, Yesterday I got my 1st fill not even sure how much but I do know I was able to eat quite a bit for lunch with no restriction so I know it wasn't enough, anyhow. My Dr. asked me what I was eating, what I want kept in mind is for 6 mos I lost 62 pounds before I was banded then I had to do the 4 week liquid diet, followed by 1 week of liquid, 2 weeks mushy, I was invited up to a family get together the day after my mushy phase was over I am down 82lbs, I decide to take a day off, my band at the time of the party is loose with no restriction so I eat healthy but decide to have some muddy buddy chex mix, I made the mistake of mentioning this to my Dr. I was read the riot act, about being a month out of surgery and eating something like that. He is right it was a poor choice, but he yelled at me so bad that his whole staff can hear it, the receptionist even asked me about it. Now I am struggling with feelings of if I can't have a little wiggle room every so often like special occasions and I'm not talking binge eating here, is this something I can even do? Feeling Frustrated.

I wonder how many of us test the band after the mushy stage, I didn't drink alchohol or go too far overboard but I did let myself enjoy a family gathering on the 13th, but I'm back on the wagon now. Try not to eat so much it makes you throw up, my Dr. said it can cause a slip in the newly banded.

I got mine the 18th I'm not there yet either mine does them every 2 weeks but I have to wait 3 because of New Years.

Honestly, I wish I could have done it when I was on the lower end of the BMI chart and got a handle on it before it got a handle on me. Good Luck.

@@gowalking when I started this I could barely walk across the floor, and even had to stay home a week alone cause my whole family went to NY without me kids and all and I couldn't go because I knew there would be too much walking for me to handle, Next time I'll be ready.

@@Kitt3000 Thank you Kit that probably was the problem, @@Leepers he is a good Dr. and I'm going to give him a pass he is only 13 miles from me so I'd hate to have to drive further, Kitt it was also the sugar he basically wants me on Atkins type diet and I knew he wanted me on high Protein but thought it was mainly about portion control, I am going to try from here on out to refrain from any sugar until my habits are better established. The problem for me really was the yelling, but everyone that goes there says he is pretty caring, I even have his cell number and can call him personally he's even met people places whose called him and told them they were feeling like binging. I was just frustrated, when I wrote this, not just at him but also myself.

@@gowalking I was looking at your stats your on the short side like me I'm 4'10 and 3/4 in I'm glad you post them shows it can be accomplished.

Love this, maybe if I'd read this before going to that family gathering I wouldn't have had the chex mix but I am going to a wedding Jan 31st I'll keep this in the back of my mind.

I find it how interesting Different Drs are after a week I was allowed mushy and believe it or not I'm so tired of yogurt and cottage cheese but it tasted like heaven when I 1st got to eat it, It's best to do what your Dr. wants in this phase they have their reasons even if we don't understand them.
