Hi. The band was the best decision I made. I have lost a total of 35 lbs and I am loving it. Feel free to ask me any questions. Have you consulted your doctor?

How are you doing? How much weight have you lost? I had my first fill on 9/25 she put in 4 cc's. I feel some restriction but not as much as I expected. I am loosing about 1-2 per week which is good but I have increased my exercising a lot. I really enjoy going to the gym because I am seeing results. I love my band.

I hope you are feeling good after your surgery. I am from Woonsocket, RI.

Good luck girl on your upcoming surgery. I have lost 25 lbs so far. I want to loose 10 more lbs before I see Dr. Roye on the 25th.

Kiaa - How are you doing after your surgery. I hope you are doing good and are having an easy time recovering. I was banded on July 30th and I have lost 16 lbs. Good luck.

Hi Horizontravel. I hope you are doing well after your surgery. The pain will get better and you will be back to your normal self before you know it. Good luck on your journey!!

I will be going to the gym starting tomorrow but my doctor said to keep it light. I can do the eliptical if I want but not to use the arms too much. I am just going to go back on the treadmill and in 3-4 weeks I can go back to my normal routine.

Good luck at the Y and don't over do it. You don't want to hurt yourself. What have you been eating for mushies? I need ideas.

I went for my follow up and the total weight loss is 16 lbs. I am having a hard time with mushies b/c I am not sure what to eat but I keep getting ideas from the chat room. The doctor said I am supposed to be on mushies for a total of two weeks. I return to work on Monday so I really have to sit down and plan my meals.

I have lost 11lbs so far. Are you doing any exercising? I have my follow up with my doctor on Friday. Can't wait to see what his scale says. Gas pain is horrible but I am glad we are done with that. I can't wait to be able to eat a little bit of real food. LOL!

I can't wait for my follow up visit with the surgeon. I weighed myself at my friends house and I am down 11 lbs. I can't wait to get my official weigh in on Friday. I get to go on mushies on Thursday so we'll see how that goes. Let's keep in touch to see how we are doing with this wonderful tool that we got.

Jerrica - So far it has been going good. I have not weighed myself yet but I think I am doing good. I have been on clear liquids now into the full liquids. My scars are healing good and I am not experiecing a lot of pain.

How are you feeling after the surgery? I am feeling good but finding it hard to break the eating habit. I wake up and feel like I have to head to the kitchen for breakfast. Then I just grab a few sips of water. I add the special k protein mix and I have been eating sugar free jello.

I hope all is well with you and that you are having a good recovery.:smile2:
