I'm up for it, I say we do minutes first, then maybe mileage. In few months we should all commit to trying something "different" (a video, class, or even something silly like roller skating) for exercise and then bring it back to the group so we can all have some new ideas

I never heard the thing about pineapple juice, but you can always find it at a liquor store if you can't find it in the grocery store....

what do you mean by swelling? I had my first fill Thusday and was doing okay (a little gurgilling but was keeping everything down) Its 2 days out now and I am having problems with milk and some mushies. But I'm sick so I don't know if its mucus blocking me up (not to be gross) or if the band is to tight. Either way since its Saturday I'm sure I'm stuck till Tuesday because of the holiday....Nay thoughts would be appreciated

this was the reason I signed on this morning, I lost 10lbs post op and for the last 3 days the scale hasn't moved!!!!!! I'm so frustrated, I'm still on full liquids....so I am hungry and I'm not loosing weight. When do your doctors do the first fills? I have an appt next week which will be just under a month post op, will they do it then or only after you start back on "real" food?

I'm so jealous you guys are on Mushies, I was banded Monday, was on clear liquids till Thursday, and am only on full liquids now.and will be for 2 weeks total. I don't get mushies till the 24th. I'm doing well, pain is not bad....nothing Tylenol can't handle. How are you guys doing with the weight lose so far? I'm not really sure how much I should be loosing each day.

May I join your group? I just had my surgery Monday and am doing well, i started with a BMI of 40, at 203lbs and am looking to get to 130.......thats about 66lbs away from where I am. Just post back to me if its okay.:wink:

Congrats, you'll be fine I had mine Monday I feel great and am down almost 7 pounds....My only piece of advice if you are staying over bring Chapstick, your mouth is so dry afterward Trust me on this one GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to see how everyone is doing from Monday? and to see if anyone has started to loose weight? Hope everyone is well

I was banded Monday (1/7) I feel okay, kinda like I was in a fight, I'm sore....a little gassy. But my question is does anyone else's throat hurt? Mine hurts. I can feel everything go down, Ice pops help a bit but even taking the pain med hurts.

I'm scheduled for tommorrow also (12:00 PM), I had a bowel prep....Its not terrible, but its not great either. I just had to do a low cab diet though for the last 2 weeks, so I'm not complaining.
