I had my surgery March 24th, i have only lost 12 lbs since the surgery and my period is 2 weeks late. Has anyone else had this problem?? Theres no way i am pregs. -
That's great! Lets you learn it on your own. That is probably beneficial in the long run... trial and error and all
-
actually my doc is pretty cool, he said there are no limits to what you can or cannot eat as long as you chew it completely and see what you tolerate and dont on your own.

Well, the weight will start comming off. your body could just be slowing down a bit!
Does your post-op plan stink? Some people's doctors seem to be more strict than others...
-
ya know im really not sure. i know that it will be at least 4 weeks. I am only one week and 2 days post op and so far ive lost 9 lbs but i also gained one back and then stayed there for the last 3 days so im a bit confused.

I am SO glad that you are feeling better! How long are you on a post Op Diet?
-
thanks so much for the warm wishes. I am doing much better , starting to feel more myself after the surgery. Looking forward to keepin in touch =)

nana i was also banded on the 24th, you have almost my exact stats, heaviest being 236,, 215 at surgery. Maybe we can track our sucess together?? I am at 212 today but i know after surgery i went up instead of down but it came off quickly. Lookin forward to comparing!! I live in Oregon outside of portland so your not too far!

Nite run you are so right, reading all the posts actually make me smile because i dont feel so alone in this,you all sound like you know me personally and that helps so much. Im not sleeping well you right ,mostly because of the tenderness in my bellly and i love to sleep on my side and i am a huge cuddler,, and so is hubby and we have had none of that since the surgery. every time he lays his arm on me it hurts and he feels so bad. You are soooooo right that every girl needs her mom in rough times. I myself have 4 sons so the estrogen in this house is just me....they love me but they are not so intuned to what i am feeling and dont really have the ability to say are you ok mom? and hear the true answer, they are not talkers lol. my sons are 22, 19 , 15 and 10. the older two are gone one lives in idaho with his wife and daughter and the other is in the army stationed in arizona and is not due home until july when he is set to deploy to iraq *gulp*. Thank you thank you ladies for all your messages, it helps more than you know . And we are all post banded right?? today is day 6 for me and i started the dreaded shoulder pain last night.......thought i was having a heart attack at first and then a lighbulb went on and i had remembered hearing something about that here ,so i looked it up........thank God we have this as a resource . Keep in touch ladies and again thank you so very much =) -

I had surgery on March 24th. Everything went well from what they say, it was my first surgery so I did not know what to expect. But my mom was diagnosed with ALS aka Lou Gehrigs disease 2 years ago, last month we had to finally hire hospice care. I quit my job to help take care of her full time, she took a turn for the worse a couple weeks ago and passed away on the 13th , 11 days before my surgery. I knew I couldnt cancel but there was so much happening. we held bedside vigil for 3 days and 3 nights before she passed. When she did pass my silblings both older then me did not want to give her a service, i live in oregon , we all did but my dad was buried in calif . so it was left to me alone to take my mom home to be buried with my dad, make all the arrangements fly down the 19th service the 20th and fly back home the 21st had surgery a couple days later. Its been non stop and now in my recovery period i feel lost for the first time having to settle down and stop running. I realize my mom is gone, i am grieving , i dont have my job that ive had the last 15 years. and now i am soooooo trying to start this new life on a positive note but it all brings pain inside and out now. I KNOW things will be good in the long run, i need this for my health....i just need to figure out how to stay positive while mourning and standing at this major crossroads in my life. Well thanks for letting me babble on, any advice would be greatly appreciated...... Love Prayers and Cheers to the new life for us all, Kat
