I was just banded last week and i am looking for a few people to chat with while going down this brand new road!! :scared2:
-
I have been having a hard time the last three weeks, I missed my dr visit on the 8th and have not been back yet. I am planning on going on the 29th now. I have gained back about 5 pounds and i know why, i have been so bad with everything that is going in my mouth, i dont seem to be full and my choices have been so bad. i went away on vacation and seems that i have not come back to reality yet. I can't seem to get removiated again. i have not been to any group meeting in a month because of everything that is going on. i have started night school from 6 pm to 930 every night and work full time almost every day ( i work at a toy store and this is getting into our crazy season.) I know i can do this i had lost 40 pounds in 4 months but i just a lost. I dont know if there is anyone who has been through this too?? I just sitting here shaking my head. later!

Way to go!! -
:scared2: 8 weeks- 1st fill, The dr office put 1cc in my band with the 5 that was put in when i was banded. i can really feel the difference. i have been on water for one day and now on shakes one day and went to soft food yesterday, tommorow i can have regular food again, i think i lost 2 or 3 more pounds just doing that for the past few days. but for a total weight loss of 32 pounds so far that is so great!!! when i got on the scale at dr office i was like oh yea!!!! Once the kids are back in school next week that will give me more time to hit the gym or go for some long walks after i get them on the bus!!! I have put a goal of 25 more pounds gone by christmas, i really think that is a due able number. i am going to bust out the winter clothes soon and see if there is any difference in the fit yet?? I hope so. keep you all posted- have a great weekend!!!

i found a cherry flavor at my local store, not that bad, but i drink water after it, the chalky taste hit after i got it down, but its not to bad, or you can do an emina ( i think that is worst) good luck and feel better!! -

I went on vacation this past Feb with my family and the belt just fit- thank goodness i had my daughter and husband in the same row. When we got home and i saw the photos i knew that something had to change, i had been thinking of doing this for a while but that was the so called last straw. I am now 2 weeks post op and very happy. already down 25lbs and cant wait for next years vacation. Good luck to all on this new life we have!!!! -
I still can't believe that it is past the 4th of july already. The heat here is crazy- and i thought living in the mountains would be cooler than the beach~ HAHA really cant go walking just way to hot- i did head over to the mall yesterday and did a few laps, i am sure that will count some but not like i want it to. I go next tuesday for a weight in and to chat with the dietian. I have only been drinking water and my protion drinks as per my dr. i have not gotten on the scale all week and its driving me crazy- i had to put it away, i was on it everytime i went to the bathroom. really dont want to get ocd over the weight loss. I can see that would happen fast. my husband says he can feel a difference already, i'll take it!! Later all!!!

:smile2:wow- i still cant believe that i did this. not as sore as i thought i was going to be- never used any of the meds given to me. go in the morning to have staples removed and then the real work begins. like to know how everyone else is doing?? hope you had a great weekend!!

I have 1/2 cup of soup a day usually for lunch instead of a protine shake. that is really the only "real" food i am eating right now. I feel very full after that. I used the recipe for the chicken enchilada soup i found on the lap band web site. really easy to make and taste great!
