u look really good, i am hoping that i can do this also...i have lost 10 lbs in two weeks since the surgery -
u nailed it with the pain, i am learning all kinds of new things about my body, like muscles i didn't know where there. i am grateful for the encouragement and u look awesome. thanks so very much for note...best wishes
-
thank you so much for your comment and support, i have started solids and i am nursing them slowly, the pain is still sporatic and i am learning postions to be comfortable. i am keeping my head up and reminding myself why this was important. best to u also

well, i have survived day 2 of solids, mainly turkey or shredded chicken, cottage cheese, grn beans, here n there. still nervous about next week and wonering if i am eating like i am supposed to. I feel like i have been turned loose on an experiment and have really no direction so we do 1/4 to 1/2 Cup here and there and chew chew chew. i think it is strange not to have anything to drink while i eat but i am adjusting. have started my walkfit exercise 3 times a week. and i am getting a little stronger. look forward to next onth when i should feel normal again. still losing a little and happy with it. best to all
-
omg sure, i would love to meet some others that are going through the same thing. love the default pic, my girls love fairies too.
-
omg i have lost 8 lbs so far post op too. and the cooking thing really isn't bothering me yet...this week i have made zucchini breads and pumpkin sqares for friends and family. i think i will always question myself, though. i will look forward to the aching pain to go away then. thank u for the encouragement and i have thanked GOD for so many things in the last few months HE is probably tired of hearing frm me. i am grateful for u not making feel so crazy!!!! best to ya

okie dokie, so i keep reminding myself it is early and only day 2 after banding, i don't know what i was expecting... i am struggling to keep myself hydrated and moving, i wan't expecting all the soreness everywhere but my incision sites, my muscles hurt so bad in my legs and neck. i don't know how i can eat all the fluids and get the protein i need. and then i am swollen and miserable. GOD I pray i have done the right thing here, I don't know any details and things werent really explained other than the general everything went fine, and i call tomorrow for my first three week appointment and don't even know what he will do, I am reminding myself one moment at a time and each moment counts.:mad2:

oh i don't know really but am kinda phobic of needles, guess i picked the wrong path on thaat one,huh...i don't fell deprived really just overwhelmed by all the fluids, i think it is cause i have to keep track and it seems like sometimes drinking is all i get done. i think u should do well u sound kinda like where i am also. i will stay strong and best of blessing in life for u too.
-
:rolleyes:okay so i am still kicking and have lost most of the swelling,yippee!!! still have muscle soreness in neck, back and legs(nurse is getting back to me on it)...Yesterday was fun, i find myself ready to start baking for the holidays and find if I use the sippee cup(without theat lil plastic thangy) i can get most of my fluids in and hopefully i am getting all the protein. I find that i can't commit myself to any goals for fear of failure and can't wait to start doing more things with my girls. I go Dec. 5th for the first visit and am kinda nervous. I don't want to loose this weight very fast, yet I would like to at least notice something, this morning I am down to 313.
-
okay 9 days in and i am still kicking...but really think i overdid it yesterday...i am so tired and sore today, i think i understand why u aren't supposed to drive for 2 weeks. but i must trudge forth, my life is never on hold and i can't believe the holidays are approaching and i have nothing occomplished. gotta get moving. i am still in denial about losing any weight, i can't see it, so i guess it doesn't count. but i am looking ofrward to the first 50...maybe then. one more week and then i am supposed to go to solids,hmmmm i don't know i think the doc is pushing it a lil. i can't imagine that. and which one would i start with that i wouldn't get sick on...that is my biggest fear that and the first fill. also found out the lapband is a 10cc. so that was interesting. chin up and best to all in the journey.
