Hey Ladies. It's been awhile since my last post. I was doing fantastic with my exercise and eating until I met up with a rough period in my life (about 6 months). I stopped eating well (actually ate MORE) and exercising and didn't go back to the doctor. Well, with God's help, I was able to get back on my feet. I have my first follow-up in more than 6 months, and I'm nervous. I'm afraid that the doctor is going to tell me that I've ruined my band. I pray to God that it hasn't been! I am not able to eat as much, but more than I care too. I have NOT had a fill, so I know that's the primary reason. Has anyone else fallen off the wagon? What did you do to get back on track? I appreciate all of your support. If you'd like, please add me on Yahoo under absolute_karma. Rachael:tongue_smilie:

I've been MIA for awhile, so I wanted to update everyone on my progress. I have lost 30 lbs since June 30 (Surgery was July 9th). I had to do a 2-week liquid diet prior to my surgery, so that contributed a bit. So, what is everyone here doing as far as workouts? I love to walk more than anything, and I do power-walk. What is everyone here doing?

Does anyone have trouble with them? I've not yet had a fill (and am doing great without it), but want to start taking prenatal vitamins (for extra nutrients), but am afraid they will get stuck. :wink2:

You've lost weight really fast! How have you been doing it?

I'm losing weight and am not overeating, but I have a hard time eating and drinking slowly. I guess since the food/drink is in front of me, I keep eating and drinking! I measure my foods so that I am only eating what I need to and am satisified, but I do get hearburn if I eat too fast with some foods. I do not have a fill, but am going for my second appt on the 25th. I don't think I need a fill because I'm not hungry. I just want to see how you all manage to take it slow...:thumbup:

I've been reading posts from people who were recently banded but extremely hungry. I was banded nearly 4 weeks ago, havent had a fill and am satisfied. Anyone else in the same boat?

I was at 269 at my preop on June 30th, and 248 at my post op on July 28th, so 21lbs. :thumbup:

You normally have to wait 4-6 weeks, and trust me, you will need it. You will feel it if you do too much! Take it easy and just walk. That's a workout in itself!
