Thought I would finally join

Hi everyone. I was banded on March 18, 2008. I weighed 323 at surgery. After two weeks on my first check up I was 313. That really made me feel great. I go for a first fill on April 28, 2008. Everyone I work with says I'm shrinking, I just don't feel yet. I thought maybe a place like this would help me with the encouragement. I lost a lot of weight once with adipex, over 100lbs almost(gained it back plus more). After all that I still really didn't feel any different. I'm hoping to break the "I still look the same" habbit. My goal is not to be super skinny, I want to look healthy. I think I would be happy in the 150-140 range even with my height (5'3). I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences and reading about others here.

Well hello there... I had to check the post to see if i had written it...lol.. I lost about 100+lbs with Adipex also and when i got prego of course I couldn't take it so i picked up most of the weight back up, but im getting back on the right track... Havent been banded yet. but I am learning a-lot from u all.... excellent on the weight loss.... That is fantastic.... how is your pain level and hunger level been:thumbup:

My pain has been fine, hardly took the pain meds I was given. Hunger seems to be fine. I have a bad habbit of not eating in the mornings, so I am working on getting Protein Shakes in me in the AM. My stomach growls a lot but I don't feel like Im starving. But I ate a whole can of Soup the other day and thought that must be a sign to get the first fill.
