I am down 25 total, and I did a great workout today and so although I am still only doing cardio my goal is to step up the workout this week. I have been averaging 5 days a week. I have also struggled getting enough fluids but that is getting easier. I am glad to hear you are doing okay with the fill, I am nervous about the first one!

Looks like you are doing well! I was banded 5/19 and am down 17 pounds since surgery. Trying to stay focused and get a little more active every day. Any good tips? I am back to regular fill and have my next appt July 8 to see if I am ready for a fill. Finding my appetite grows every day!

I was banded 5/19 and have been losing much slower since starting the "real foods" again too. Just trying to keep focused and remember things like I can see my clothes fitting different too, small milestones!

I have had the same problem since reintroducing the solid protein and I was told the same thing, I wasn't eating enough. Great to hear the advice! -

No, my band was put on "loose" until I am healed, my next appt and first opportunity for a fill is July 6 =) -
MAY BANDSTERS ~ How are you doing?

I had a lot of trouble with the gas pains my first week and used the GasX dissolvable thin strips, you might want to ask your Dr. if you could use these? -
Just got banded 5/25! Anyone else on or close to this date so we can be buddies?

Hi May bandsters! I got banded 5/19 and it took about a week to get rid of the gas pains. Had my first post op appt on 6/1 and got cleared for walking and "full fluids". Then onto "mushy foods" and my next appt is 7/6 for a potential fill. I have had some soreness still, not sure if I am pusing myself too hard while walking. Going to take it easier tomorrow. So far since surgery I am down 15 pounds but seem to be stuck. I think after reading on here, I might not be getting enough calories. Does anyone else have this problem? -

I did 2 low carb, high protein shakes and 1 small low carb, low fat meal (1 meat + veggie) for 2 weeks prior to surgery and lost 12 pounds. I have heard many other people say they had to do just the shakes for 2 weeks though. I bought mine already made from Target or Wal-Mart.
