  1. Hi all!! I was a size 18 and now I'm a size 8!!
  2. Hi Everyone!! I am new to this thread and was banded on Nov. 18th!! Feeling good, losing weight and starting to get myself back in shape!! Just wanted to introduce myself and start getting some support from fellow bandsters!!!
  3. See my doctor really wants to see me on nothing but protein shakes for the next 2 weeks! No soups, puddings, yogurt!! But the NP in the office said that if I feel famished then I can have something like that....it's pretty tough but I am very motivated because I know then end result is so worth it! I do feel like I'm "cheating" on my post op diet sometimes because of the yogurt, puddings, soups but I also know that plenty of Dr.'s allow these food during week 2! I will def keep you posted! Enjoy Thanksgiving tomorrow:tongue_smilie:!
  4. Hello, just wanted to touch base...Are you still on full liquids?? If yes, how are you doing with it?? Have you eaten anything solid yet. I was banded on the 18th and I'm having difficulty not having ANYTHING!!
  5. Have you eaten anything since your surgery?? I feel famished!!
  6. Thanks for responding Maria! I find that this forum is really helping alot! I also started full liquids on Mon...and I am so not feeling them, if I find myself really starving I will have some Soup with no noodles/vegetables or sugar free ice pops/pudding....I really can't wait to chew something! I think tomorrow is going to be the toughest for me :ohmy:....but the NP at my dr's office said if I can really puree and liquify mashed potatoes or turnips or even a vegetable that it would be better to have something like that rather than trying to stuff something in my mouth thats going to be hard going down. She basically said that you don't want to restrict yourself from food so much that you binge and complicate the band....Have you had ANYTHING besides Clear Liquids and shakes so far??
  7. Hi all, I am new to this group and I have also been newly banded on November 18th!! In general I feel good except some sharp/stabbing pains that occasionally occur on my left side right around my rib cage(sometimes immobilizing) :ohmy:! I weighed in at 239lbs on Oct. 13th, was 227lbs on the morning of my surgery and went for my first appt after my surgery yesterday and was 221lbs!! Granted starving will do that to you but still super excited!! I am starving and can't wait to chew food!! Just started on "full fluids" yesterday but honestly I'm soo not interested in shakes right now...well wish me luck!! PS. Is anyone that had surgery on or close to the same day as me still having serious tummy rumbling and feelings of air floating around in their tummy and shoulders?? ~Lisa
  8. My 1st weigh in was on June 29, 2009 and my surgery was November 18, 2009!
