Well, I feel pretty much the same as I did before my fill. I still have good restriction but I wish I were a bit tighter. I have only been getting small fills in fear of being TOO tight. I can still get down a lot of foods that I should NOT be eating & don't have the will power to stay away from.

AWESOME 17.5 down!!! Good for you! You must be thrilled to be on the mushies. :sad:

Hi Terri, So, your still hungry a lot? Is that the main thing? Are you eating your protein? I did not lose from March-sept 5-6!! I was not eating a lot but I was eating the wrong foods. I'm not saying this is you. Have you talked w/ your nutritionist? What does your Doc think the problem is? I feel for you. Sometimes I feel why did I get the surgery because it is still SUCH a BATTLE. I know I am better off than I was though. Keep us posted.

Good for you !!! I feel a bit better today thanks!

So, I had my fill tues & I'm down a few lbs yaaaay!! I'm enjoying some Wedy's Chili right now. I never ate this before my surgery but I eat it alot now. Something to think about for the newly banded soon. I'm gonna try to stay away from white carbs too. I hope this helps. I don't think I'll be working out for awhile. I damaged my back some how. I went to the chiro & she took x rays. Right where I have my pain my spine jets over to that side squishing into my ribs too. It hurst when i take deap breathes too. It really sucks when you REALLy get hurt! Ya complain about little aches & then you get a BIG one. I don't know how I did it????? After I had my last baby I felt a little kink there. went awawy for years & now I got pain in that exact spot. So she thinks maybe from child birth or carrying them. I've had too adjustments so far & go back thurs. ttyl! Hang in there!!!!!

24 lbs!!! GREAT!!! How long now?

Well I have to say my experience at the Brigham yesteday wasn't great either. The people doing valet are completely RUDE! You sit there & no one directs you or even looks at you 1/2 the time! This has been my experience EVERYTIME!!! The only time there nice is when they brin the car back & want a TIP!! I'm in such a MOOD today & my kids ar driving me crazy (FYI) !!! At my app Dr. V leaves the rm & has her assistant come in & TRY to do my fill. OF course she kills me & never finds it. That is the LAST time that happends! Dr. V finds it right away after. So I was down like 3 lbs in 6 weeks. Oh well it's something in the right direction. I got a small fill & I'mm still doing liquids/ cream soups today for now. K8 & Thinking~sounds like you had same type of day lol!

k8~ I saw that on the site too but I was hoping it was wrong. Oh man~ I was hoping to go tonight to the meeting. I'll try to make my next fill on the day of the next meeting in Nov. I go for my fill tonight at 4pm. I'll probably ask for another small one. I feel tighter all of a sudden {??????} Don't know why. I'm brining my food journaling w/ me to ask what am I doing wrong!?!?!?!? I wonder if I'll have a loss on Dr. V scale? Hope all is well! :cursing:

Hey everyone! I have a fill tomorrow night Oct 6th. Are the meeting the 3rd tues of month or 1st?? If it's tomorrow I will go.

WOW! tredmill already?!?!? Glad your feeling better! :tongue2:

Oh I feel bad about your little one being sick. I totally understand. She will be ok & so will you. :biggrin:

OH thank goodness!!!! :bored: To tell ya the truth I was really nervous about the gas because after I had my tubes tide the gas pain was crushing. I had no problem though. Keep us posted! CONGRATS your BANDED!!!! :smile2:

GOOD LUCK boston lady!!!

Teri, I'm sorry your having such a hard time. I feel lately "why did I have surgery"? It's still so hard! I know I am better then I was though & I hope it will come. Good luck!

I'm so frustrated!!! :biggrin: What else can I do to lose weight?!?!? I mean come on......I had weightloss surgery & I still struggle!!!! I am measuring , counting, exercising, what else do I have to do!?!?!?!? Sorry for the RANT. I'm sick of going up & down w/ the same few pounds! Any, suggestions??????

Thanks guys. :-) I did take a break over the weekend. I think that I needed it. I didn't pig out but I wasn't so stricked & didn't measure. TY!
