Glad to hear things are getting better for ya! Good luck! I'm happy things are finally kinda getting back to normal!

My surgery date was 4/26 and I am down 33 lbs. No fills yet, I don't feel like I need one - I can pretty much eat everything, but I only take small portions -- way less I used to eat. My weight loss has slowed down to about 1lb a week, and I am happy with that:rolleyes2:.

Good to hear from you. I am feeling so much better now and I can honestly say that I am glad I had the surgery. For now, I am not having any fills though - at least not for a couple more months. I am able to eat pretty much anything now, but my portions are definitely much smaller than I used to eat. I am losing weight slowly, about 1 lb a week right now, but to be honest I am in no rush. I just started to exercise this week, so hopefully that will help some. I am noticing that some of my clothes are baggy now - and that feels so good! Take care and keep in touch.

I'm doing ok...I was down last week. I got my first fill and for some reason I felt like it kicked my appetite into fourth gear and couldn't stop my porportion control or hunger. But today I went to the Dr and somehow I have lost addl 2.5pounds and I'm feeling finally full after having a total of 4cc in my band. After hearing your surgery though, I have no room to even feel somewhat down Like I did last week. I'm glad your doing better and pray that your recovery will make you heal fast and ready for the joys of the journey, not the heartache! Take care and God Bless!

Hi, I haven't been on line much. I had a horrible surgery. The dr perforated my bowel during surgery and I had to have a second emergency surgery the next day to repair it. I was in the hospital for 5 nights and 1 of those nights they put me in intensive care. I am feeling better now, but its going slow for me. I have started to eat solids this week, and everything is staying down fine. I really don't have much of an appetite yet, and I am hoping it lasts because after all I have been through, I honestly don't want to get a fill for awhile. I am working on getting my positive outlook back. I am sure once I start feeling better, I'll be back to my old self again. I am down about 24-25 lbs which is nice, but I still am having lots of second thoughts about this whole thing right now. I am just so afraid of needing another surgery! Anyway, how are you doing?

I am just starting to feel better. My surgery was 4/27. I had a terrible surgical experience because my bowel was perforated. I ended up having a second surgery a day after to repair it and then was in the hospital for 5 nights and 1 of those nights was in intensive care. All in all, it was horrible. I am very apprehensive now but am trying to regain my positive attitude. I have lost about 25 lbs so far and I do not feel hungry between meals at all. I am still having problems getting all the liquids down, but everything I have eaten has stayed down and I am very relieved about that. I am working on getting the protein in and have been adding new things slowly. My next appt is 5/28 and I am going to pass on a fill - after my experience in the hospital, I just want to take this very, very slow. -
HI! How ya doing? Today is the first day that I feel much better since surgery. anyways wanted to see how you are doing?
-
Hi, I am doing pretty good. I am glad its getting closer. I am a little nervous, but looking forward to getting it over with. I am down 10 lbs so far from the pre-surgery diet, so its a nice jump-start. How about you - how are you holding up?
-
Hey how ya doing? You and I only have 4days to go! Hope things are still going good for ya!

I am on day 9 of 15. My surgery is on 4/27. My pre-surgical diet includes 4 Protein shakes a day, and a choice of 5 of the following: 1/2 cup of natural applesauce; 1/2 cup of cream of wheat or regular oatmeal; 1/2 cup of a creamed soup - low fat, made with water; 1/2 cup of sugar free pudding; or 1/2 cup fat free yogurt. I do like unjury shakes - I am just getting tired of them, but they do taste good I like the chocolate best. I wish I had the diet with the meat and vegs --- the breakfast sounds wonderful, I would so love an egg for breakfast!:thumbup:

I can't believe how close its getting. A week from tomorrow.... it will be here before we know it. My surgery is at 8, I have to be at the hospital by 6. I am glad its going to be over in the morning. When I had my mastectomy, it wasn't until 3pm and I had the entire day to worry, starve and be thirsty. I have a feeling, we won't be hungry at all after the surgery, which is something I am looking forward to! I got through this past weekend without cheating, but I wanted to! I talked myself out of it each time I got close though. I know what you mean when you say how hard you worked - I feel the same way. I also was able to zip my jeans without laying on the bed on Sunday --- which means I did drop a few pounds. I am holding off on weighing myself until after the surgery. I am hoping for a nice jump start weight loss.
