Hi well let me start off by saying that i dont feel good at all i was suppose to have my surgery on 6/09 but my insurance pulled some crap so i had to push it back to 7/09 im so hurt this was the beginning of my whole new life :sad:

:confused:I feel like Ive failed already .,..my ugly green monster is coming back (hunger) I havent had a fill yet and God knows Im ready Im eating like I did before the surgery...I guess 1 GOOD thing I am sticking with is walking every day for at least 30 mins I walk 1 1/2 miles in 30mins so thats pretty good but this eating thing hasnt changed..Can anyone tell me if this my hunger will stop after this my fill ? Should things change? please say yes !:smile2: What should I expect after the fill ?

Well I went on sept 14th to get my 3rd fill its starting to work...Ok so I started out on July 2nd at 373lbs im down to 347lbs going slow but its going...I can honestly say it take the "PERSON" efforts...yes I have learned the hard way ...but the weight is coming off ...this has been a hard summer for me myself...I had my lapband surgery on july 2nd,hand surgery on jlu 20th and then my final left hand surgery on aug 28th so ive been in and out of the hospital and at times unable to get up and fix myself any thing ...so thats what -26lbs Im really not complaining what-so-ever ..I go back to work oct 14th hopefully that would put me back on track...oh and with just that little weight off Im shopping again.....from my closet that is but thats the most exciting and cheapest way at this time so until we weigh again....Good Luck to all ... :huh2:

Well I just found out that I am having my 1st fill on 7/30 ...I am back to having that strong and determine little green monster down in my stomach that is screaming for food...SOOOOO the Doc feels that Ive healed enough and alot of the swelling that I had has gone down.! Yea!!!! I cant wait it feels like right now that I am just doing this thing by myself and Im scared that the scale will go the other way and I really dont want that to happen ...I have been eating and I know that this isnt a good thing at all ...I was wondering if anyone that has had a fill knows will the hunger subside after this fill plez say yes

Hi well let me start off by saying that i dont feel good at all i was suppose to have my surgery on 6/09 but my insurance pulled some crap so i had to push it back to 7/09 im so hurt this was the beginning of my whole new life :wub:

Hi My name is Tiffany and im 29yoa and ive been reading several people blogs and viewing pictures ...to be honest this website has been more insightful than any other website out there...I have finally gotten my surgery date which is 6/4/09 im scared not of the surgey but of failure... im pretty sure there are several out there that can understand me...will this be another jenny craig,weight watchers,medifast,and/or cabbage soup diet... Will I fail? Will i pretend to be full and satisfied around others like i was with other diets but when ever one leaves eat til im full or will it do what they claim it will do help with appetite suppression ...also i was wondering about exercise im 5'09"/380lbs and my knees along with back hurt so bad ....what kind of exercise can i do until i get down to a healthy weight so that i could move ....:crying:
