I was banded on 3/29 and have had 3 fills since my surgery. I feel a little restriction however I am hoping that my next fill on 9/2 I will finally feel something. I am starting to get paranoid because other people immediately feel something. Good Luck to you!

I appreciate your post! I too 4 weeks post op and after the extreme high of being banded and feeling restricted..BAM I woke up one morning feeling no restriction what so ever. I was discouraged after going to my surgeon and he said that it would be another 4 to 6 weeks before my first fill. So you are not the only one experiencing this and hopefully we some how deal with it. :w00t:.

Hi Jilly:
I have been walking about 40 minutes every day and every other day I have been doing the elipitical for 30 minutes. So today I weigh myself and it reads that I gained 3 lbs. NOT POSSIBLE...is it? I don't understand I barely make it to 1000 calories a day. My husband says its muscle but I am sick of that excuse...so anyway I go to my 1st doctors appointment today. You should be so happy to be under the 200 lb mark...that is so awesome! I am sure once we both get fills that perhaps we will feel something???

Hey! Aren't you so glad the surgery is over?? I am! I am not feeling any tightness. Never did in fact... I wonder what thats about. Your port is connected to muscle so I bet thats why you still feel pain there. That was the last spot to heal for me. I can't do a sit-up quite yet but walking and doing everyday activities is fine and I feel nothing. Good job on the 11 pounds!! Doesnt it feel great? I went shopping last night and was suprised I am not in a smaller size yet. I have lost 24 pounds in all and my current size is too big but the smaller size is to small. Isnt that always the way.
My weightloss has slowed down tremendously since starting the pured stage. has yours?

Great job Jilly! Isn't it awesome to be in the 100's? That is my biggest goal is to get under the 200 mark. I too had surgery same date as you...I have lost 11 lbs since surgery however I still have some pain. I know you said you don't feel like you had surgery however do you feel any tightness? Its crazy most people feel the tightness in the chest however I feel the tightness/pain on my port and shoots to my back...ugh it feels so weird. I guess I have to get use to it. I am happy for you!

Mother's Day Challenge Anyone?
sherrilyn replied to MommyOf1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a recent bander (3/29/10). Would love to participate in the Mothers Day Challenge. I weigh 216 and would love to shoot to be under the 200 lb mark by Mother's Day. So I would like to lose 17lbs!.... -
I was banded on Monday and today I am feel amazing. The pre-liquid diet killed me I was starving to death and now after my band strangely enough food does not effect my mind as it did previously. Also my stomach still growls telling me to eat however I can honestly say I am not really hungry and I feel in control. So far so good I lost 6 pounds since Monday and weigh 221.

Hey Jilly... My "last meal" was Saturday night I had a big juicy fat steak with a baked potato...dessert was a M & M's...I think this is perfectly normal for us to feel that we need to have this last meal before we begin this life style change. The next day I started my pure liquid diet and today is my 3rd day and because my DR ordered me not to cheat or he would re-schedule my surgery was enough to scare me not to cheat. 6 more days to go...for both of us! it is exciting....
-
I am on Day 1 of the liquid diet and had to watch my family eat pizza tonight...oh the pain it smells so good in my kitchen. Maybe I will go to sleep great idea. My doctor only required a week of liquids and my surgery is March 29...Good Luck to you and believe me I feel your pain!!

Being nervous is normal. After all it is surgery. But I will tell you it will be over before you know it and you will be on the road to recovery and losing weight. It's the best thing you could possibly do for yourself. Good luck to you. If you have any questions along the way please feel free to ask.
