nope. i can pretty much eat anything, as long as i chew it really well.. and as long as it's not really dry... that's kinda hard to handle.

doing alright. my incision hurts pretty bad. but i'm makin progress. lol

they couldn't get the co2 in through the other incision... so they had to make an extra one by the belly button so they could puff out my stomach. lol. when did you get banded?

that's just cuz the belly button acted like a pool for the blood to collect. it wasn't actively bleeding anymore, it was just caught there with no where to go.

well. one's for the band itself, one's for the port, two are for him to work through, and two were for the CO2 they put in. there was only supposed to be one for co2, but they couldn't get in through there, so there's an extra one.

plus, i don't seem to be losing any weight. I'm still where I was on surgery day.

I just tried walking today for the first time. it HURT, it felt like i was ripping my stitches... that can't be good.

i feel like crap. lol. i did too much yesterday (my son had his 1st birthday party). I'm still feeling the effects of that today... it's a total bummer.

oh, i'm doing alright. yesterday was really hard.. i did too much during my son's birthday party, and i definitely am still feeling it today.

hey alvin... i did it!!! I got down to 216. so i was banded today!

hopefully it is... i had my pre-op appointment on monday, and i weighed 224. My initial weight was 220. They said if i don't get down to at least 217 by tomorrow, then they won't operate... So... we'll see what happens.

well, i haven't been banded yet. 10 more days, then i will be! how much have you lost?

i'm doing good thanks, how long have you been banded?

ouch, that's a bummer. But i'm sure it'll fly by before you know it!

unbelieveably!!! it's coming up so quick... less than 2 weeks :-D

ah, well... congrats on what you've accomplished so far! I'm getting banded on May 15th. I'm SO excited, it's so close!

Sure thing. How long have you been banded?
