  4. Hi Any, Well hope you are doing ok, I am on foods now, not eating much but don't feel like I have lost that much. I did good from my liver diet and up to my surgry.I lost 22lbs....but I don't know about now. Although my clothes are starting to get loseer. Like you I started on much sooner than they said but I could not go any longer. I don't eat that much but I don't feel full and yet I don't feel hungry. I'm not sure that makes any sence. When do you go back to New U

    I went to the doc.today and have lost 2 lbs this week.

    Keep in touch. where did you have your band put on?

    March 31st, Anyone else?

    Hi everyone, I just thought i would jump in as I too was banded on March 31st after a year of going to thru the hoops that Medicare put you thru. I am 67 and It was a medical thing with me getting this weight off. Although I have been trying for years, you know the ups and downs of weight on weight off. Well the surgery went well, but I too had a hernia and well they were fixing it they (Doctor) nicked my liver, so I was in lots of pain for 4 days and then I started to turn the corner. I will tell you "I HATE BROTH" But I did find some find some different kinds of flavors that was much better that I cubes.......jello wasn't to bad but now glad on am on liq. soups, and things like that. Well so glad that you are all doing good. Lots of luck... I was banded in Idaho Falls, Idaho

    Hi, yes I am feeling much better...A little sore inside but other than that I am doing good. Now I can start on a new road.....I lost 22 lbs in 21 days. I think that is good, but not sure if for this its good. although I am happy. I am now able to eat soup, and soft foods, 1 per cent milk, don't know if i can do that. I am a milk drinker and I will probably end up giving up milk, except for hot cereals. Next week I think I will be able to go on full food. I don't have to see the doc. any more unless their is a problem. I still have to go to I.F. to New U, as they will do my fills and everything else. I am a little worried about my first fill. I think I will need one as I still am getting a little hungry in between meals.... I wasn't before but I think that might of been because of the swelling. But life if good now if I can get on here when I am not tired and get the ticker on here I will be on my was. Thanks for the concern. Hugs Rosie

    Phyl, You are right, and I am not liking it either. I haven't really had a hard time with being limited until yesterday, it's like I'm not all that hungry, but i am craving different taste. I have clear broth, jello and water. I do like C. L. but It gives me heart burn. I also find it hard to drink all that water because I have to sip, and that takes alot getting it down. I get tired of sipping. The good news, I hope it is good. Thursday I go to I. F. and have my first meal.......I think it must be oatmeal or something soft like that but there are lots of soft food. So I am excited about that. If I can have tomato soup, I think I would be in heaven....Well thanks for the info. When did you get banded? and how are you doing? I would like to hear your story. Well got to go and try and get a pic. on here. Hugs, Rosie

I am living on broth, jello and water, is there anything else we can have? I get a high just off of smelling foods. I am not hungrey, but I crave a different taste. If anyone knows something else PLEASE let me know asap. Have a good one. Hugs Rosie PS I hope everyone is doing great and losing pounds!!!

    Hi all, thanks for the advice..I can see somewhat better now, eyes are open so I hope my spelling is better. I don't really feel better, but I guess I am getting better, I don't hurt as much but still feel week and sick. I know I am doing to much sleeping but i just can't stay up long or move around much. My lap band doctor is 3 hrs a way, but I go in to see him on the 9the, thursday and I am hoping all is well. I am going to call my doc. today as I need to go over my meds with her. I will post later with more info. I love reading everyone's stories and the weight they have lost. I did get on the computer for a few Min yesterday and read some horror's stories....but I am hoping not to be one of them. Thanks again for all your input, I will keep you up dated. Hugs, Rosie

    Hi everyone. I was banded on March 31st and to tell you the truth I am not doing all that well. I am not hungry, but hurt and feel sick. like the flu or something. My eyes swelled shut and just yesterday they opened to slits..... I have lots of diaherra, which I hope is normal. I know that they said that they nicked my liver and had to stich and glue it so maybe that is why I am feeling like I am. but it's been 5 days now and I still feel like shit. Has anyone else had this problem? Well i will keep you posted, this is a great place to reach out. I do have a question, when I post I go to quick post reply, but I am not sure this is the right place for me to post. Do I post and reply in the same place? and what is Go Advanced? I still haven't gotten this all down. When I feel better i will try and post a pic and also a ticker. Hugs to all Rosie

    Hi all, Well I am getting ready to leave for I F tomorrow, and will have my surgery on Tuesday, March 31 st. I am so excited. I live in Dillon and all the passes are closed, can't get in or out........so I just hope they open up tomorrow so I can leave. I think I have done pretty good on my liver diet. I haven't checked my weight except on the fifth day of my diet and I had lost 6 lbs....so I hope I am down some more. I know they say you should lose between 15 and 20 lbs, so we will see tomorrow. I have to stay over night but will be home Wed. and I will let everyone know how I did. Also I really would like to know how to set up my pic. and the ticker....Good night talk to you all in a few days. Rosie

    Hi Karen, My date is almost here...I will go to I F Monday, spend the night as i have to check in the hospital that day and then surgery on Tuesday at 12:30.......so excited about all this. I hope I have been doing well on my diet. I have Dr. Chamberlin, so I think we have the same liver diet. It is really hard for me to get the oz's down, but I really try and keep it light. i usually have a piece or 2 of the deli meat with a piece of low fat cheese rapped inside, rolled up......a 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 2 cups of veg. also a fruit. Some times i will have a egg beatter with some veg. but don't really care for it to much. I went to my doc. and weight in, that was at 5 days and I had lost 8 lbs. I am not sure that is good because I hear that we should lose between 15 and 20 lbs.....I only have 13 days on this diet...I am somewhat worried but we will see how it goes when my 13 days are up. Well keep me posted. I am so excited about your weight loss. I hope mine is as good and that my health will be better. Have a wonderful day. Rosie

    Hi Karen, I don't know if you remember me but I met you at our first New U meeting in I. F. Did you have your surgery? and if so how did it go? how are you doing now? questions, questions. Well I got a call from New U in Jan. saying I would have to go do another 6 months.....not likeing that. Went to my first meeting in Feb. Got a call from New U. and my time was waved, don't know why but so happy. Went and seen my doc. and got my date March 31, 09.....then got my diet. I am so happy, excited and nervous....... I have thought about you often wondering if you got your lapband. I have not been on here in sometime as I didn't really have anything to say and I think alittle down knowing I wasn't getting my date. Now all that has changed. Hope to hear from you. Rosie:smile2:
