  1. Hi everyone!!! Here are my numbers..still in a stall. Ugh!!!! HW: 252 SW: 252 day of surgery Dec 30th 2013 CW: 236 Struggling to get all my water in. Good luck everyone!!!
  2. I had the lapband placed in 2009. Several issues with it & discovered I had a hiatal hernia along with esophageal dilation. Had band removed & was sleeved on Dec 30th. One day after my 38th birthday. I feel great. Was a little tired & weak in the first few days. I'm doing a lot better. I work as I nurse in a busy ICU & returned to work after 2 weeks.
  3. Hi everyone. Here are my numbers: HW: 252 (day of surg Dec 30) CW: 236 GW: 175 I'm happy the scale finally moved even though it's just a lb. Increasing my fluids helped.

    Migraine Headaches

    I have suffered with migraines and even woke up with one the night of my surgery. I take Imitrex 100mg and it works wonders. I use to even take the shots but decided the pills are better for me even though they take about 45min to kick in & work. I've tried every other migrain med & this has been the best for me. Good luck!
  5. Hello all, sorry I'm late with my numbers. Finally returned to work & starting back with grad school next week. Any woo here are my numbers: SW: 252 CW: 237 Think I'm in a stall. Scale hasn't moved in a few days since I've started purée. Ugghhh!

    I don't know anyone else who's had this surgery. All my friends had lapband & had them removed. No other procedures. They all gained a ridiculous amount of weight back.

    Did he lose a lot of weight? What was his time frame? Worried because I'm going to Miami this summer and have had issues being uncomfortable on those damn planes

    No. No soup for me. Not really a fan. I'm ready to advance to purée. Think I will try some hummus. Are we suppose to go another week on liquids? Torture!!

    My 600 lb life

    That husband was the worst! Totally not supportive. I felt sorry for their daughter who had to witness the treatment her mother received from him. She needs to get away from him or their daughter is gonna be screwed up later in life. The cycle repeats itself sometimes.

    I tried some Fage yogurt today. 2 ounces. Had no problem & felt full. Our doc is very strict compared to others who are in the same stage as we are.

    I tried some broth too. I'm a nurse & because I felt so weak & thought I would pass out any minute I decided I needed more than just tea & crystal light. Did a few small sips & felt better. Now that I can have shakes I feel a little better
  18. XXShelXX, I'm only allowed clears at this time. Just started protein shakes today (Saturday). I believe I have to do 2 weeks of shakes then on to mushy. I see my surgeon on Monday & hopefully will get the ok to start my vitamins. My doc is very strict. Good luck to everyone ????

    I can't remember what the nurse in the office told me about how long each stage was. I'm going in on Monday for my post-op appointment & I have a lot of questions

    OMG I've been craving cheese also. I have some in the house & even joked that I was gonna lick it all so no one can have none. Why should I suffer alone!! LOL

    Ugh I feel weak & ready to drop. I've been dreaming about food & the Food Network has become my life. No pain though, which is good. Just ready to have more variety
