thanks ladies, i signed up for the gym today and i am on my way!

Hi all, Happy friday! I got my first fill on Wednesday and it is working just fine :thumbup: - i have an 11cc band and he put 5cc's in - i thought that was a bit aggressive but you best believe i ate very little yesterday. i have noticed that it is tighter in the morning- i get full of of a cup of yogurt now.. yesterday i only ate 870 calories but i got in 64 grams of protein. i also had a nutrition class on Wednesday - the office wants us to gradually add things back into our diet - unfortunately i have been eating veggies and some of the things that they said should come later on. I met a bunch of great gals that were all banded around the same time as me and we all had our first fill together (making it a bit easier).:biggrin: i was on liquids for the rest of the fill day and back to regular food on Thursday. I have lost 34lbs so far and it feels good. i am no longer snoring when i sleep! i realized that i don't wake myself up anymore during the night. i am down to an 22 in pants and my bra size has decreased. - Overall i feel really good about my self and my decision to get banded.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I see my nut on 10/07- so I don't know what they are going to tell us. I went to support the other night and after talking to some fellow bandsters, it looks like most of us do not go over 1200 calories. I will let u know on wednesday what I learn. Don't worry though, once u r filled, u will loose again. I am a little baffled by 800 calories though!

hey , i am 4 wks out too. i am stalled just like you are. i believe it is time for a fill. i have mine scheduled for 10/07. have you scheduled your first fill yet?

Hey all, i had my final 2 summer bbq's this weekend and boy was it big fun. party 1 - a housewarming - scooped my food out of pans with tablespoon. literally had a spoonful of food! -greens, chicken leg and sweet potatoes - it took me two sittings to finish this little bit of food. my children are amazed at how little i eat now. they keep offering me food but my little son will say "are you allowed to have this?" LOL:wink:- i had just a little of everything at this party and i was just fine - i had a fellow bandster there with me but i think she is band abuser. her plate was full of food... i tried to discuss eating with her but she was also the hostess - so she was busy. Party 2 - more of the same - very small portions - my son asked me if i wanted to taste a piece of cake he had " oh wait momma, can you have cake?" LOL:lol: - i did make one bad move though - i was talking to my daughter and stuck a piece of chicken in my mouth and forgot to chew! it was stuck, stuck, stuck - i bee lined to the bathroom and tried to bring it up and out but i had to let it sit and it went down - it hurt like HELL though. :tt1: (hence all of the smiley emotions) ~~ i went out looking at gyms on friday - my hubby agreed to go with me since we found a gym that is $32 per month for a couple. i will call the dr's office today to see when i can start working out. i have been walking around alot because it is homecoming shopping season... my 16yr old is mall walking me to death! Back to work this week though - i sure enjoyed staying home these last 3 weeks. i haven't focused too much on my weight - although i can say i am teetering under 260 right now but not to be excited because i know the best is yet to come. first fill is 10/07 - i am not eating alot now - i think it is my mind that is scared of overeating. i also start to get a sensation in my left shoulder when i think i have eaten too much... does anyone else experience this? thats all for now! have a great week everyone.
