AMBAIN

Hello everyone, My name is Amber and I was banded on 2/26/09. First and second day post-op I was really "regretting" having the surgery! LOL - I'm over that now after I did about 3 hours of walking yesterday, and the gas was releasing...the only challenge so far is definitely burping. This forum and chat has been such a blessing for me tonight, as I've had a lot of questions answered and heard a lot of really great and amazing stories. I'm excited to come back frequently - and make some new friends with similar..interests :wink: I weighed 252 the morning I went in for surgery. My goal for August 30th is to weigh 200... To some it may sound unrealistic, but this is what I want to weigh when I go off of my birth control (which I'm taking because I'm estorgen difficient) and ready to line myself up to try and have more babies (have been infertile for over a year)... I would like to get down to about 150lbs, but right now I want to see the 200 mark... I'm excited to be around here and very anxious to read up some more. Blessings, Amber

thanks for the encouragement. today was a much better day! i WAS hungry today but i subsided it... by the way, the protein thing...I used someones advice to buy egg whites, and i'm not kidding you, they really have NO flavor! (as long as used in cold product) i'm glad to see so many people had the band done on the same day as me! WOO HOO!
