Thank you Kimberly Ann2009, it is only getting better each day. I FEEL great too. Have you had the band? -
So had you on my mind today, how is everything going with the Fill, or correction? Are you feeling ok?
-
If I understand correctly btrieger who made several comments to you, has NOT had the Band yet! But is full of advise that really only a Dr. can give you. Please contact your Dr. and get more specific answers, you have had major surgery and need to keep open communication with the surgeon.
-
I second that motion by BG-you had major surgery with the band. A plateau won't last that long! Get an exray from your Doctor and both of you can see what is going on inside. Please don't mess around with your health. We care!
-
Well, you have the right mindset and so I believe you will do well. Prayers for you and all us bandsters! Takes patience, lots of love and support, and you will find it here too. Log on everyday. Also use LapBand.com to keep up with your Protein and food intake, great resources! Good Luck to you on your journey.

Congrats to you, and thanks for logging in like you did. Descriptive helps the new ones. I only found this site about two months after I had my surgery. I have been doing well and you will too! Lost 58 lbs so far, five months past my surgery date, so I am happy. I have only hit one plateau and that was during the Holidays, but maintained, not gained, and now the losing has started over again. Please take care of yourself, remember that you are not Superwoman, then let your Superman care for you! Rest, and drink lots of fluids, you can get dehydrated easily.

Oh no! I am SOOO Sorry for you! That just is not fair. It is not something I have heard of and I am just too new at this but I am sure it is something that can be fixed soon. I understand that the port is stitched to grissle? Maybe the stiches came loose on yours? I really hate that, but it is good you are still restricted at the band location and losing weight. Hang in there, it is going to get corrected and you are going to be fine.

This is a group on here already, you get the clothes for free, just have to pay s&h for most. -
Your album is amazing! You really have surpassed the old you and now are a new woman! Thanks for showing us! Hawaii is wonderful isn't it? Went there on my 25th wedding anniversary! Congrats.

My weight this morning was the lowest yet! I was so Happy! This really inspires me to get going in the New Year! I AM going to get there, with a lot of hard work, and God's Grace! Have a wonderful week, too.

I was banded on July 29th 2009, I have lost about 60 lbs total and I freeze all the time. My husband says that I must have low blood, and that something is wrong with me! LOL I asked the Dr. about it, he said Well you have lost a lot of fat (insulation from the cold). That is true~so it made sense to me. I am going to buy some underarmour insulated thermalwear that is super thin to wear under my clothes. Burrrr!

DeeNicole! You are so welcome, this site keeps me so up and positive, I just love the conversations and the help I get on here! Alex or whoever invented this site is terrific. There is even a Clothes Swap group you can join on here!

auntiegoo! Hi, well you got your Christmas Present early didn't you? You will feel a good restriction after the first fill, and I was a little nervous, but so ready to get that ball rolling with my first fill. I really started dropping the lbs and was so happy! I have hit a little plateau and keep playing with two or three lbs, but I get a third fill in a week, so it is going DOWN! Keep in touch, this site really helps to keep me and all of us motivated, it is like the life blood!
-
3 months after, down 21 pounds, after quitting smoking AND the Holidays!

Hubby and me at the Lake
janetsjourneytoslim commented on DeeNicole's gallery image in Member Photo Gallery
Wow you have really changed! For the better. I have some that look like this one at the lake! I look back and think to myself, I had a very loving husband! I know your hubby is so proud of you. Amazing! Keep up the good work! -
You need to stay on the soft foods and lots of protein drinks. No hard foods! And never drink anything with your food. This will cause a clog and you will bring that food back up. Think about your stomach as a drain pipe, when you eat too fast, it backs up, then if you add fluids to it, it only emulsifies and turns to slime, so always dring l hour to 30 min before eating and or the same after eating, giving your food time to pass through the "drain". You will adjust to the fill period! It will hurt if you do not adjust. This is an opportunity to lose more weight the first weeks after a fill, work with it and the scales will make you happy! Happy New Year~Happy New YOU!
