Happy 23rd Birthday anna_ree!

Hey! hows it going??? Its been a while and I havent gotten the chance to meet you yet. Support meetings are getting crowded! you should come out sometime! Stay in touch, us locals gotta support each other....hope things are going well for ya!

How are things going? Not so great for me, I'm not loosing like I should, but it could just be Bandster Hell...who knows, lol!!! I've had 2 fills and can't wait for fill #3 and #4, they say those are the magic ones!!!

heey i was just thinking of you today. i had my first fill just a few hours ago! yay!

i havnt lost anymore either =[ as soon as i started eating soft food and regular food i gained a few back that i lost during the liquid weeks.

i am at 3 c.c. in my band now. i go back in a month to see how iv done and if i need another fill. i hope i can lose at least 10 lbs in a month.

i have the urge to diet like crazy to lose weight before my appt like im used to, but if i lose a lot of weight he wont give me another fill lol. i just want to be at the point where i lose weight without trying so hard.

Hello!!!

I wanted to see how you were doing...I'm still sitting at 17lbs lost...haven't lost anymore, wanted to see if you had!!!

I have my first fill April 20th...so excited!

the pain right after surgery wasnt too bad, with pain meds of course. it was mainly soreness and pain from moving around. if u can manage to stay in bed most of the day, u wont be in too much pain. after a little less than a week, the pain was practically all gone.

thats great! happy cinco de mayo =P

no problem! what insurance do you have? i have bcbs and they approved me within a week. i was so happy how fast it happened!

thanks for adding me...Have my last visit with Dr. Griffin Monday....then surgery date if approved...I will let ya know!

hey dblex, im glad to find someone from corpus.

do you already have a date for once you are approved? dr griffon is awesome by the way! he is such a nice guy and according to him my surgery went perfectly. i go back in 3 weeks for my first fill. if u have any specific questions about anything just ask =]

I have just been drinking protein shakes and eating soup. but since iv started eating (the past few days) i have gained two pounds. i am not eating a lot, but its more than just clear liquids. on clear liquids im sure i didnt get more than 100 calories or so, and other liquids it was more like 300. now im assuming the soup (cheesy potato) has more calories. but i really do have a restriction. i ate soup yesterday and it was just about a half a cup or so and i felt soooo full. my mom had gotten me a milkshake and no matter how bad i wanted it, i couldnt drink it. i was that full on the little bit of soup. but i still gained a pound. UGH.

i hope you have more success with losing weight when u get to weigh in. my surgeon did say not to worry about weight loss right now because this diet is crazy. now i know what he means!

Oh yeah, by the way...I changed my username...just in case you got confused lol!

I've been doing okay with harder foods, until this morning...it really hurt to swallow them...I dunno what's going on with that. I think I took too big of a bite.

I've been in misery...staying at my fiance's house while he is out of town and he doesn't have a scale so I cannot keep up with everything...oh well just means that my loss will be bigger when I DO get to weigh again!

How's your loss going?
