Hi, I was banded on 12-29-08 and had my first fill 2-3-09. I am so happy to be starting this year the right way. This is one year I won't fail my New Year's resolution. Yeah!!

Hello, I had my first fill today. My goal for Feb. is 8 pounds. Question...how do you make one of the weight loss charts that I see everyone with? I'm new to the game. Banded 12-29-08 First fill 2-3-29 Surgery weight 257 Current weight 243 Good luck to everyone.

Hi, Yesterday was my one month anniversary from banding. My weight today was 243. (When I went to the hospital for my surgery, I was 257. So in 4 weeks and one day I've lost 14 pounds! Yeah! :ohmy::sneaky::frown::w00t::eek:

I'm 4 weeks out from my surgery. I lost about 12 pounds the first couple of weeks and then started having low blood sugar issues, which have now seemed to resolve themselves. I'm still on mushy foods and I'm trying to be really careful about what I eat. (I had a little mishap with chicken so I've been sticking with soft foods). The last two weeks, my weight has stayed the same, not up ~ not down. What's up with that? Is that normal?

Judging from your weight lost success...you've done really good. I would join you but I haven't even made it to firm foods yet. I think you'll be right back on track.

Thank you!

Hi, Too late to join? surgery date: 12/29/08 heighest weight: 270 pre surgery weight: 257 After surgery weight: 268 (to much fluid I guess) Current weight: 245 total weight loss: 25 my end goal is to be: 144 goal for January: 10 Thank you!

While I was in the hospital recovering, they gave me some apple juice. This was especially helpful getting the crushed pills down. I would talk to your dietician beforehand and ask her what you should have in the house.

I had some OJ and Pineapple juice yesterday. Stuck with liquids and everything worked itself out. Today I woke up shaky again. I tried pineapple juice again. I think the OJ worked a little better yesterday but the juice seems to be doing the trick. I also sipped on some warm tea and warm broth yesterday. That felt good. Thank you for your responses!

Has anyone had any issues with low blood sugar? On top of that, yesterday I think my chicken got stuck. How will I know when it finally passes? I still fill full but I don't have any pain and I can take small sips of Water, just nothing to eat.

I have not had any fills yet. Today I had some chicken and I am worried that I didn't chew good enough. It feels like its stuck. I tried some water and that hurt. I ended up bending over the toilet and water, slimy mucus came out. (no vomiting). I can take small sips of water but I cannot tolerate any food. I think the chicken is still in there. What can I do? Did I mess my lap band up? I'm not in pain anymore unless I try to eat.
