sunny day

I'm gonna hold off as long as possible .... im sure i will need one eventually but im losing about 2 pds a week and im ok with that when it stops or slows i will fill but until then i'm gonna push on with out one

i am 6 wks post op and i lose 2 pds a week steady ! im not hungry and i dont want a fill yet. im not sure if its what "restriction"is but i weigh my protein and measure my veggies and carbs and i get full for about 3-4 hrs i have head hunger some times but for the most part im never starving or experience "bandster hell" for that im thankful so for me i say im managing without a fill for now

yes it happens to me too....I'm not sure why i'm just happy that it takes less food to quiet it down

my soft stop is a burp!

they have p90 no x that is a little milder but still challenging im doing that my goal is to do it 3 days a week and walk/elliptical 2 days a week i just started last saturday.... im hoping the excercise will kick up the weight loss i go for first fill thursday

i never really regretted my choice but it was alot more painful than i thought it would be i wasnt 100% until about 2 wks post op. i am lucky that at 5 wks out i do not suffer from hunger . my appetite is still very much controlled. today i would say yes i would do it again! best of luck to you!

for me the headache is the first sign of dehydration.... is she getting enough to drink?

im here banded 2 wks and getting hungry .:smile2: not hunger like before but still hungrier than a week ago . im eating regular food just measuring out the amounts !!!!welcome September bandsters My ticker is wrong iam down 13 pds since operation 30 since whole process

i was in alot of pain for about 3 days pain meds controlled it but it was there! i did not have a lot of gas pain! iam 2 weeks post op and down 13 pds and i feel great i have a slight twinge in the port site but its more of an irritant than actual pain

i lost 20 pds in the 6 month preop. 9 pounds post op im 6 days out. and iam very afraid of shedding the weight because in the past ive lost weight and then sabotaged myself when i was slim and had too much attention so this time i plan to get a therapist

i have 5 incisions and my port is to the left of my belly button . i didnt have terrible gas but i did have more pain than i expected . i am 6 days post op took 2 wks off not sure when i will be ready to go back .:smile2: My stats : weight on day approval 260 weight day of surgery 250 weight today 241

6 days post op had my first check up im down 9 pds since surgery doc has put me on full liquids which is great because i was getting hungry .... so hope i can stay fuller longer :rolleyes2:
