Cory,

Is that correct that youv'e lost 91 lbs without a fill? Wow... Did you have restriction?

I'm getting my first fill next Thursday. Have to use a lot of will power to set the ol' fork down and say "full". You've done it for months! Amazing...

Ya how did you do it ?

I was very conscience of when i was getting full. As soon as i felt myself gettting full i would stop eating. By the time I had lost the sensation of getting full I was used to eating a certain amount.

honestly, I think i could have lost quite a bit more by now but I've been pretty lax about exercise. Betweeen going to school full time, working full time the wife and a 2 yr old, it's been a struggle to find time to work out.

When I first looked into banding I spent alot of time on this board...reading mostly, seldom posting. Then I got my band (7/17/06, Elmer Valin, St Ray's, New Haven, CT) and was on every moment. Things have gone really well and I find myself on here less and less but I am very happy to find this all male thread!

Tarami - How did things go with Valin? His office is great and you are in good hands at St. Ray's. Let me know if you have any questions.

I finally made it. I was banded this morning. Love the hospital has wireless internet access. It hurts a lot but I did it. That was a huge hurdle. First day of the rest of my life!!!

Been home since about 5:30 last night. Port is pretty painful, but the gas pains have decreased a bunch. Ate some SF Jello a bit ago. All in All I don't feel too bad now that I have gotten some rest.

Thanks all

Well my day has come, Today I stop mushies, and start REAL food .:hungry: But alas I'll be good..:faint: I think I'll start the day off with 1 real egg, and go from there for the rest of the day ..:nervous 14 days till 1st fill...

Hey Ted,

I think you'll find that 1 real egg is really filling. I had 1 scrambled egg with a slice of cheese this past saturday at 8am and it kept me filled well past lunch! I couldn't belive it.

Right on Chris. My port is still a bit tender 2 weeks post op, but not too bad. Walking will help work that gas out, and Gas-X can help. I also found that the heating pad on my shoulders really helped with the discomfort.

Congrats Chris and Jonathan!!! After the next couple days, you'll start feeling a lot better. Get your sleep in, but the walking is very important too.

Welcome aboard!!!
