Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary...can't believe it has been a year already! I was hoping to be in onderland by now, but I will take what I can get since I did have a few set backs. I am down 52 pounds which I am very happy about, I will just stay on track, set more realistic goals and keeping on moving forward, no looking back now! Happy anniversary to all of you!

I have been off track for a few months now and trying to get back on. My Mom died suddenly in December, and that was all I needed it seems, to go right back to the old habits. I know that I have been eating entirely to much and the wrong things. The past couple of weeks, I have tried to straighten myself out and watch what I eat,I can still eat more than the recommended 4 ounces at each meal, but have lost 6 pounds though. Does this mean it is time for a fill? I have had 2 fills since having my surgery last August, both times, the first day was all liquids and the second day I could eat the 4 ounces and feel full but within just a couple of days I was eating more than that. For those of you that have reached their "sweet spot", does that mean you are able to eat only the recommended amount or..what? Very confused as to whether or not call for another fill...please help

Congratulations!

I am happy to say it does go away. I had a doctors appointment a few days after posting, and he assured me it was just the muscles healing and could take a few weeks to do so. The very next week it was gone. Hang in there, it should just be temporary.....remember to call your doctor if it gets to painful

My doctor had me on 3 weeks of liquids..finally finished with that! Now I am on my first week of pureed/soft food for 3 weeks. 2 more weeks and then "real" food!

No problem...wish I just had 50 to lose lol

no, that is just my first goal

I use Centrum chewables, they are orange flavor. I usually don't care for anything that is orange flavored but these are not bad at all.

Congratulations!

Wow guess I am the only one with the problem..talking about feeling alone lol Good news though, pain has diminished to almost nothing now guess it was from the muscles? At least it is going away whew

I have heard the remarks as well...one told me that they haven't seen anyone lose weight with the band (then I will be the exception) and I should have had the bypass, I am with to invasive. Also heard well you can eat anything you want...man people need to read up on things before opening their mouths sometimes. Hang in there...we WILL do this and do it the right way! From now on when I hear the naysayers, I am just gonna tell them oh yeah...watch this!

I am 13 days post op. I was feeling fine other than the occasional tugging sensation where my port is on Thursday. Since then I have been having a burning sensation around the port area and a little pain and burning where I think the band may be. Seems to be worse when I sit up or get up from sitting or lying position. Anyone else experienced this?
