I'm down 1 pound this week. Went from 234 to 233. My weight loss has been very slow but steady.
-
Thanks for the advice. I'll up my protein intake and see if that helps!
-
I'm down one pound this week. I have only lost 4 pounds in a month and I'm getting very discouraged. Had my first fill on the 18th and no change. I'm still hungry but I am trying to stay positive any loss is better than a gain right??

I am down 2 lbs this week. I went from 237 to 235. The weight is coming off very slow but fairly steady. Had my first fill this week and start eating regular foods again today. I'm not feeling any restriction from my first fill and have to wait a month for a second one. I exercised at Curves 3 times this week and played tennis with my husband twice. I'm going to try to bump up the exercise this week.

Friday Morning Weigh Ins - 12 Sept 2008
ShelbyD replied to lellow's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Stayed the same this week. I did make it to Curves 3 times this week! I guess no loss is better than a gain!! -
I joined Curves in January and I really like it. I have been a member of a regular gym and I like Curves much better. The women that I have met there are great. The circuit is what you make of it. I know some days I get a much better work out than other days, it is all up to me as to how much I get out of it.

I had to buy a new pair of jeans for school 3 weeks ago and I bought a size too small. Yesterday I zipped them up without laying on the bed to do it. I was so excited I told everyone all day that I got my pants zipped!

Friday Morning Weigh Ins! - 5th Sept 2008
ShelbyD replied to lellow's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't think I will ever make it to weigh in on Friday so I'll make it Saturday morning weigh ins for me if that is ok. I lost one pound this week. Down from 238 to 237. Started regular foods this week and I had a very difficult time not eating too much so I am very happy with the one pound. Starting exercising this week and I am feeling better. Congratulations everyone on your weight loss. -
I'm down 2 pounds this week, went from 240 to 238. I'm very happy about it because I started back on regular foods this week!

Friday Morning Weigh Ins! - 22nd August 2008

I know that I am a day late but I worked from 7 till 7 yesterday and was too tired to post. I did lose 3 pounds this week. Down from 243 to 240. I get to start eating regular foods on Wed. and my apetite has definately come back so I'm hoping I don't gain next week. -
I had one of those mine was called On-Q painbuster. I think it was great. It numbed the area around my incisions. It was really weird when my husband pulled it out though. The tubes were very thin but way longer than I expected. I think it took 3 or 4 days for mine to empty. Good luck to you!

Way to go Lellow! You look great! -
Today was my first day back to work. We started our teacher inservice, the kids come back next week, anyway we always go to lunch on the first day back and I am still on mushies:sad: I had potato soup from Chili's and I actually did not feel like I was being restricted:biggrin2: It was great!

Love the Flat Stanley! I work in an elementary school and the kids send flat Stanley all over the country and have them sent back. I would love to be thin like flat Stanley! I'm thinking maybe Fullerton for mine. Still haven't decided for sure.

Congratulations Gary! After my band they had me walk from the recovery room to my room. I thought it was very strange but ok. They do try to get you moving quickly!
-
Welcome Lory, I had my band done on the 6th also. I got to start mushies on Wed and it was great. I'm still having trouble getting in 800 calories even with the mushies. Good luck to you.
-
Congratulations! Glad to hear you are doing well!

Dr. Barker did my lap band on8-6-08. My cash price included the hospital and everything but I paid 13,600. I was very happy with Dr. Barker.

Dr. Veninga In Dallas Texas
ShelbyD replied to Miss Undastood's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I have two friends that used Dr. Veninga. They both loved him. He did not do surgery at a hospital that was in my insurance network so I used Dr. Wade Barker. -
My surgeon was Dr. Wade Barker in Dallas. He was the second Dr. I saw before I decided to go with him. He does more bypasses than lap bands but I think he did a great job for me. I had very little post op pain. Good luck in your search. Make sure you find someone you are comfortable with.

My first fill is scheduled for Sept. 18th. My doctor makes us wait six weeks for our first fill. I hope I can make it till then.

I'm down 4lbs this week. I'm not sure I'm getting enough calories, working on getting that up. Went from 247 to 243. -
I have been reading so many posts about how painful the surgery was and mine was just minor discomfort. I had an On-Q Painbuster pouch and I'm wondering if this had something to do with my less painful recovery. Did anyone else have one? Just curious.
-
I am so sorry you are going through this. I really don't know what to say or have any words of wisdom I just wanted to let you know that I'm here for you and I will be thinking of you.

Hi Everbody, I survived surgery on the 12th!

Glad to hear that you are doing good. The first mushie foods do taste good after weeks with just liquid. Hang in there!
