Ooops your right it is on the 18th.

Hi, Were you able to go to the meeting this morning? If so what was it about and did you like it?

I have had no problems with anything. I even had a sandwhich on day 10 after my surgery. Pretty scary. I can't eat as much as I use to but I am still able to eat anything. I am excited to get a fill so I can get some restriction. Hopefully, although they say you don't feel any restriction until the 3rd or 4th fill. UGH!! I want this weight gone.

When do you get to start solid foods? I only has one week liquids then one week mushies. I hope I will be able to eat at christmas. I asked since my fill is a couple days before and she said I should be ok. I hope so.

Hey how's it going? Went to a support meeting last night. Feel better about my band. They all said I should not freak out if I feel like I have no restriction. That was good. I have some restriction so knowing that other felt like they had none until they started getting fills made me feel better. How are you doing? When do you go in for a fill? My first fill will be on the 22nd.

Hi, I went to the meeting. It lasted till about 8:45. We had a panel of quests speakers of 4. They all had lost 90+ pounds. So they talked about their weight loss and how they are doing now. What they eat. Do they exercise. Everyone was able to ask them any questions. Then after that which lasted an hour we were broken into groups. I was in the newbie group of 30 days or less being banded. There was an older guy there who basically talked about himself the whole time. So that was boring. But I liked it for the most part. Good information. There was about 30-40 people there. You weigh in when you get there which I had no idea. So I had just ate my dinner. UGH!! Oh well. Oh and they had some literature there with sample menus on what to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Oh and food journals you can take to track what you eat. I am wondering if the meeting is the same in the mornings. Maybe I will go to that one as well.

I have not bought any protein powder. What do you need that for?

I am not sure about my fill. I keep going back and forth in my mind. Part of me says don't do it so I know I can eat at Christmas. Then the other half of me says do it so I can start losing quicker. I guess I am not in any hurry and I will have the band for life. Are you going to the meeting tonight at 7pm? I am I am excited to hear others and see how they are doing.

I would say I don't eat very much during the day. At night at dinner I can get in 2 cups full of food then I am stuffed for the night. How much can you eat?

WOW~! 40 pounds that is awesome. New jeans not out of the big girl section. Must be feeling good. Congrats! I can't wait to buy some clothes in the normal sizes. I have been doing good slowly losing like a pound every other day or so. I have an appt on the 22nd for my first fill but think I am gonna call and change it for after christmas. I would hate not to be able to eat anything on christmas. Do you know if we get any special instructions after a fill? Like liquids for a day or mushies? I have not heard anything but see on here that some people do have to do that. Hey are you going to the support group meeting monday night? I think I am gonna start going.

I have lost about 10 pounds which I guess is not bad. But it seems like I have no restriction. I keep reading the posts and worry now what if I have over eaten to cause the band to slip. I am suppose to go in for my first fill on the 22nd but I am thinking of waiting till after christmas so I know I can eat. I don't want to be really restricted at christmas not being able to eat a thing. Sounds like your doing great on your weight loss. That is good. When do you get to start eating food?
