Im doing good...kind of stuck at 176 which is great but 174 will be out of the obese range so I cant wait to see it! I am curious although its none of my biz, exactly what your revision will involve? And when was your original GB? Will they hook you up lower down the intestinal road, so to speak, as I think they go lower on the more recent procedures?anyway I hope you wake up in one of those abdominal binders...a lot of people didnt get one and I think mine made a huge difference in pain level...I tell people to go get one at the drug store...it really holds everything snug..I think I wore mine for two weeks and whenever I took it off to shower things hurt because of gravity!!Oh,also you must be staying over night right? Thats good I think...even for my little ol band, I wish I had!

Forgive yourself and work on lifestyle not a date goal...this is NOT a diet and if you treat it as one (have to lose x pounds by x day) you are more likely to fail. Get a fill if you need one and get ALL slider foods out of your house and life. The other day I was feeling bingey but could still only cram the gut with a half cup of food! Painful bitchslap I needed! Good luck friend, you ARE succeeding... PS I always recommend reading band_groupie's blog from beginning to end as you have time, its funny but also very inspiring!

I am totally with you...my doc is 4 to 5 hours away and can be longer depending on the LA (maniacs!) traffic. But I think he and his office are worth it!

Your link took me to tickerfactory!

Seems like someone should have a look at it in case she needs a course of antibiotics (sooner the better) maybe she could go to the student health center?Or an urgent care place..your doc really just leaves you with no care for the whole other six days of the week? No partners or nurses or PA's ???Well good luck...

I hope you got an abdominal binder...I woke up from my surgery with one on. It makes a huge difference in pain because it kind of holds everything in so your gut doesnt schlump around. The one time I took it off to take a shower...wow, pain! You can get it at a drugstore...its just a big white elastc band sort of like a waist shaping garment but with velcro!Otherwise, its just time...good luck its totally worth it!

Fantastic! You look great. Yes, you can do it!

I am at my point of perfect restriction and get hungry about every three to four hours. Only very occasional craving or head hunger. Mostly I just get hungry, eat a tiny meal to very full (less than 3/4 c.) and then I'm good for three to four hours!It only took me two fills.

Rest as much as you can, and let us know how you are doing!

Hang in there...I thought I was just one a plateau (for more than two months!) but when I started writing down everything I ate I realized I was really eating way too much of the wrong stuff and even throwing up pretty regularly... Anyway I really got back on track and stopped eating to the point of any painful warning and have started losing easily again... Hang in there and of course be glad you didnt gain!!To me, not gaining is a whole new NSV!

I use calorieking on my laptop but what you have sounds much more comprehensive...thanks for the tip!

Yes, really well-put. I think the best thing about the band for me is the new empty space in my head previously occupied with obsessive food thoughts! Food is more like a coworker than even a friend now...previously obsessive object of passion. I have to see and deal with her every day but I dont think about her much! Thanks as always for your blog!
