Hi guys!!!! I'm Christina and I am new to this group. I just felt I needed some support and just a place to hear how other banders are doing. So I started at 303.7lbs, had a 3day liquid diet lost 5lbs but day 1 post op was back at 303....surgery was 3/22. First fill 3cc was on 4/20. As of today 4/25 I'm down to 287.2. Lost 16.5lbs since surgery! How is everyone else doing at this point? I kinda feel like I'm behind because I didn't really have a liquid diet. I'm happy to say I'm drinking a ton of water! I wish I could have a little less sugar and stop bored eating. I'm eating the right things, and mostly tracking what I eat through a ww points system. I think I'm going to start drink a glass of Water or tea every time I think I'm hungry because honestly sometimes idk if I'm hungry or bored. Also I definitely need to get my ass in gear as far as working out but I'm super lazy and Being this big I get discouraged/very winded quickly. Anyways hope everyone is doing well, any tips are appreciated, and I can not wait to connect with you everyone Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ "wlsresources/clothingexch" it's a cream I use when working out. You're right it may do absolutely nothing but it may sweat off an inch or two. And I definitely shower after workouts so no sweaty crotch for the day. My mom did not experience sagging, just what she feels is literally a fat public area. They actually have pubic liposuction which will get rid of it. JS Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know this an old post but.....my mom had lapband and she warned me that the fat my vajayjay has accumulated will not go away! I've decided as I lose weight to use creams to make me sweat in target areas. Areas like my tummy, arms, back fat, thighs, chin, and vajayjay! It might only make a little bit of a difference but the creams make me sweat 3x as much so I'm hoping it helps. Good luck ladies and I am newly banded and would love a banded buddy!!!!!!

Banded 3/22, first fill 4/20, down 16.7lbs as if 4/26. Only had a 3 day pre op diet didn't really loose a significant amount of weight during that time. Good luck everyone!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just have to stop comparing myself to others. It's hard not to kind of a little obsessed with your progress everyday. I joined this group to stay positive, to value every ounce I loose, and to just stay on track. Thank you for the feedback ladies I really appreciate it.

I'm thinking of getting 2 jars with marbles. Add a marble to the loss jar every time I lose a pound to help visually encourage me. I do not follow one rule my surgeon gave me and I think I'm going to start. He says to have a glass of Water or tea 30 mins before I eat. Then eat a small portion and do not get more or seconds for 30 mins. And before I get more have another glass of tea or water then wait another 30 mins to get more. Maybe we should try that.

Hey Amy! Was just wondering have you had your first fill yet?? Great job with your weight loss! I found it easy to eat mostly anything except bread about 3 weeks after surgery. My first fill has changed that big time! I do a lot more liquids and mushy food. Eating veggies that are crunchy like carrots has been difficult and actually almost got stuck. I have 3cc and have to take extremely small bites and eat very slow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
