To all the 23 of Jan bandsters, How are you guys doing? How are you eating? Any problems? Please share with everyone. As for me, I AM EATING WELL,and not ungry at all. I sometimes get to where I am not hungry and forget to drink all the shakes i need because of workiing, and then when i get home, I eat small bites of food that i cook for my family.:Banane20: I sometimes feel guilty because I don't do right but I do take my vitabrand Vitamins and i feel ok again...But i am able to eat anything...Is this bad? gb

Hi Mike you are doing great and Welcome. Do anyone have something new to share with us? How was your fill, if you had any? I was to get filled today but it was changed till next monday the 25th...Anyone??

Yes Jeni! We are sisters. I did everything you are doing and still do sometimes..I too haven't had a fill but i just get up and keep going. You will get better and you will feel better. I know it is hard to not fill guilty because I feel the EXACT same way...You are not alone! We will get better..

Thank you guys so much...I will do everything i must do to get healthier..I am on the right track that is for sure...I have read these post over/over again...I'm doing better. I see the doctor on Thursday...

no matter how much you ranted/raved, I loved your post...Keep them coming, they are so different from others I have read...trust me the craziness comes from not being able to eat..

Good for you..It sounds like u are doing great! Thanks for your comments!

I might need to go i to the doctor to see if i need shots myself! Well i go for my appt this Thursday and i do have a bad rash too...awful...Thanks for posting a reply.

Ok so today I am back on track and not trying to eat everything darn thing in site. I am back to my protein shakes..and i have changed the kind I am drinking..I am on the boost high protein, it fills me up better and makes me last longer. I find that it's smaller but with more of a kick! I will have one for breakfast and lunch and dinner and then one slim fast and some applesauce for a snack..I am drinking sugar free lemonade and water in between. I have sat alot around me here at work,(where i am now) and I am feeling better about this weight losing thing. It gets hard when you have to cook for your family and not be able to taste everything but i remember that I am getting a second chance to a healthy life and inspirational notes from everyone here, so i keep striving... God is good and he is reaching out to all who helps themselves..This is our second chance and we are walking together girl...Good luck to you. Starting walking again today too and watching my SODIUM intake, it can be a breaker! I felt like a pig after eating this soup with so much sodium in it...Watch that everyone!! gateyboo

Thanks for posting Ang...You are doing very well! Congratulations..I just this weekend took off my steri-strips, they were causing a rash from the itching around the healing area for me. I was itching something awful. I am so glad you are doing well and I have heard from someone who had the surgery on the same date I did. Oh don't worry about saying to much information, nothing is too much on this site..LOl..We all talk about anything here and it's ok. I don't think it's awkward though, because i didn't have one until I had some mushie mashed potatoes... Keep in touch... p.s. Delta British Columbia?? Your location? How exciting! Let's keep in touch...

Thank you soooooooo very much Lisa for your supporting words of encouragement. I so needed to hear this. I knew it in my heart that I could do it and so i just needed to hear it from someone who has been where I am right now. I do sincerely thank you. I am drinking liquids as we speak and I getting back on track again...This site is such a blessing..

Super bowl is on and i am tasting everything on the table...I am not even getting sick. I had to come on here to give myself a reality check...Stop it girl...get your azz on track... To be honest, I had been able to taste alot of foods and haven't been hungry sometimes or even thristy for the protein shakes...I know it's not good but sometimes i feel like i can't help it. I am only 11 days post-op and getting out of control...I need a fill!!

Lisa, I am doing fine. I am kinda of acting weird though because i am wanting to eat everything and i can taste about anything w/o getting sick. I feel kind of guilty too because i ate bread today! I too haven't been able to drink all the protein shakes and stuff.. I am so busy that i am not hungry/thirsty sometimes...How do i get pass this? I feel like I shouldn't be able to eat anything because i am just 11 days post-op!

How are you doing? We were banded on the same date. I am able to eat just about what ever i want too and it hasn't been two weeks post-op! How about you? I am full early but still eating...

Yes i have cheated...My body was so dizzy and my leggs would shake all over the place. I did the liquids for about five daya post-op and then went straight to the mushie stage and then kinda of still here...It will be two wweks post-op wednesday....I am still eating/losing but i am not hungry and i needed to go back to work five days after surgery, so i did what i had to do....

Yeah i think i will stick with this area too...Thank you for responding...I am back at work today and it's kind of hard today, but I am pushing through..It's just kind of hard to remember to drink water and shakes...

Good for you Dazzle..We are in the same boat...I am even back to work now girl! I am writting this message from work. I was banded on the 23rd..I came back on yesterday...It does help when you get up and get moving...Good luck to you.
