oh ok i will check on it

Hello my october bandsters.!! So my surgery date was October 14, 2011 and I just had my 4th fill to my 14cc band. I am now 9cc filled and FINALLY!! I feel the restriction...man...o..man...it has been hard...But finally I think Im there..and I started and 304 pre op diet and got my band at 287 now I am 264lbs so you can see that my weightloss has been very very slow. I been in a bootcamp training for 1 month, I go 2x a week because it IS very hard on my knees and wrists. but i joined again for this month in feb. I think even if it is 2x and some speed walking the other days..I should be good...praying to be in my low 250's by the end of the month...feeling Good.... How is every one else...??

Hi my fellow oct bandsters, so I went to see my dr. yesturday and I was hoping for an early fill...heheh...No go..I have to wait until my six weeks..nov 26..I guess that is okay..he gave me full clearance to work out and Im feeling real good...Im going to start today. Yay...Hope my body starts to firm up...I feel kinda soft and not much liking it...lol.... GONNA TONE UP ....GONNA TONE UP....AND BUILD MUSCLE TO BURN MORE FAT...YAYAYYY... Oh yeah my husband got his surgery 2 weeks after me and is 2 lbs ahead of me in weight loss....GRRRRRR MEN!!!

I suppose we are going to have to count calories and try to eat as much protien possible....without...overeating..Im at a standstill on my weightloss but Im okay I know I will stimulate it again..I just must admit I hate feeling hungry so often...

Omg..seriously...hungry hungry..I eat....then...Im hungry again in about 2 hours sometimes less...Hmm....Please....I need a fill....to control the hunger pains.....My first fill on November 26....Grrrrr...Sign...

I was back to work 5 days laters and intimate 1 1/2 week later...I was okay with it...

Wow 30 days on liquids..is real long...after 7 days my doctor told me to start mushies..to get more calories in..i was only getting an average of 500 a day on my protien shakes....so basically im on blended food..but yes I totally understand about being fed up on protien shakes... You should ask your doctor to see if you can alternate blended food with liquids.. I portsite is real tender and it does hurt most times but I have been off meds for 6 days now...because im back to work and i have to drive. I had my surgery Oct. 14th. Im going on my second week and its not too bad..I did go to a holloween party on Sat and THAT was real hard...Sooo Much Fooooddddd.!!!! I had to stay away from the food .....it was hard...

You know your really lucky for all that support from your doctor and nutritionist for the weight loss. I wish mine was like that. As of today im 7 days out and Im feeling pretty darn good. No problems..Thank Goodness. Im back to work and taking it pretty easy.

My doctor does not tell me much just to read literature. But I do and I go on this boards and I get as much info as I can. Im now 6 days post op and im doing okay im sure im down to 278 from 285 when I went in to surgery. That is amazing..114 pounds...omg ...I wish I can only imagine...do u keep real low calorie intake and much excersise DOOO TELLL.

Got my surgery on the 14th and I feel okay. I have been doing plenty of walking. the gas pains are not unmanageable, I can feel them build up, although they do hurt when it comes out but only a bit. I am on thicker liquids protien shakes, tomato Soup seems to be pretty good with a little of spice and seasoning. Im constantly sipping on Water. I dont really know how many calories im drinking but I dont thinks its much at all. My belly does feel pretty bloated still and YES the second day was the worst pain EVER...but it gets better. So Im 5 days post op and feeling tired and achy from sleeping on my back but I just keep thinking that I want my clothes to fall off of my body...real soon...that is what is keeping me going... Im back to work today also, and I wish I was not..Im still tired and feel like Im dragging but..Im already here just going to finish my day at the office...somehow..

7 months...wow..that is amazing..I started at 304 and I am 284.5 today on my preop and tommorrow my surgery...Im glad to witness that this amount of weightloss IS possible...I keep hearing so many stories of people who do not loose any weight...Glad to have read ur story.
