Hi Carly...Remember chatting with me a week or so ago? I am now 10 days post op and doing well. I didn't lose anything the first week, probable due to swelling and healing. But now I am down 8 lbs since surgery. When are you getting banded?

hello, it has been a crazy week. The fill was easier than I thought I only got 2cc"s for my first fill. I go back July 14. I think I need more I am hungry within 3 hours of eating. Now that I am eating solids I have gain a few pounds which has me scared. I also have been working out a min of 1 hour a day.

Well its been 2 weeks tomorrow since surgery- healiong well, trying ot get back to normal- DYING to get intot he pool!! How are you??

Just read your last blog...:crying:sorry you've had a crummy week! Hugs and thinking of you!

way to go LIB! Congrats on a successful fill. I go for my 2 week post-op this Friday. So I'm looking forward to that. Glad to hear that your first fill was a breeze!

Ok. Im glad you are doing good. I decided to take 2 weeks off because @ work I still all day.

I did it, 100lbs. Now doing aqua aerobics once a week, gym for 45 minutes 3 times a week and just found a Zumba class close by, need some guts to get me in there yet but I think it could be fun, hot sweaty fun but if it helps and makes me smile, it's all good. Family stresses are tiring at the moment, daughter just turned 16 and is starting college in September, son due to turn 19 in September and start University. Life feels like a whirlwind and gym gives me time to think by myself. Suffering menopause too, my word I do grumble! On the bright side, I'm alive and surrounded by people I love and who love me. Let me know how the dance classes went, hope you enjoyed them so much you make it a regular thing x

I know we will both meet our goal next week. Keep the positive vibes coming - we are going to succeed. Have a great week.

Congratulations...cant wait till I get that far...Im just 2 weeks out today and down 10

HI...went yesterday and they are suppose to let me know date in two weeks. NERVOUS!!!! It would be great to have support. None of my friends understand. Kindda sad but for once I have to do something for me.

Hi, AmberK.

Just wanted to say good luck with your surgery this week. We'll be thinking of you! I also wanted to congratulate you on the 14 pounds you've already lost that's 10% of your weight goal!!

Stay strong - you can totally do this!

I have a 2 week diet too. I have 4 protein shakes 64 oz of calorie free liquid and for dinner 3-4 oz of grilled chicken, tuna, or pork loin, 2 cups of raw greens and 1 tomato. I start my pre-op diet on the 4th. I am evenly distributed too. I would not like 4 weeks of liquid only.

Hello! Surgey went well. I'm 1 week post-op now and feel alot better. Still having a little bathroom issues :thumbdown: and some port pain :crying: but I guess thats normal. I can't wait till I'm 100% better so I can get out there and start excercising, I walk now but somewhat of a slow paced walk. It gets old. However I have lost 22 lbs so far!!! :thumbup:

Congrats on getting approved!! I bet your real excited huh. Where are you getting it done?

Hi Lorraine,

Just saying hello. Hope all is going well. Good luck on week 3.

Thanks for being concerned about me. Yes, I went back to work and this week alone I have worked 40 hours of overtime so I've been very busy. I hope you are doing well.

The 27 pounds is from when I started my 3 month diet! I have lost 11 pounds in 1 week tho! I wish I didnt gain 6 pounds during my last week of "last meal syndrome" I would be down 6 more pounds! lol Your doing great!

Sounds like your on your way to being back on track. I had an MRI a week before my surgery for a pinched nerve still waiting on results, hopefully next week. I'm really bored with the post op selections so I just don't eat or drink, I am ready for some variety and looking forward to working out too.

shibalover I dont think I over did anything. I work out a few times a week and get my heart pumping for an hour at a time and before I had restriction I dieted and watched my calories but now I have restriction and am eating whatever I make my family but I just cant eat very much of it LOL. Ive come to relize I want to do this for life not like a diet. I dont get all my protein in most days but I try and I eat everything but the band helps with the amount. The only tip I have thats a for sure thing is DONT snack because the band wont help with that. I could eat a whole bag of reese cups if I want. so I stay far far away LOL I try not to have that junk in the house. It really is an awesome tool

Cool I thought it would be like 2 weeks thats what I told my Job they said it would be ok.

i was on liq for 2 weeks only and i tell u it was crazy!!! Do you get to eat a sensible dinner at least?

Hi! I got mine done at Alexian in Elk Grove a few weeks ago! Dr Kane did mine....much luck !!!

YAY!!! congrats on getting this far, i am a week away from surgery and i am so excited too...i hope we can help each other through post op!...good luck with your surgery!!!

Hey Trish, how are things going? I am getting a fill next week and my appetite has definitely grown. Just staying on track and making sure I get my daily exercise. Down 28 total, it is still going down but much slower. How about you?

Great will know if I'm approved in the next 2-3 week so wish me luck. How are you?
