Hi everyone, well, I'm getting use to the band. I still feel sore especially at the port. If I try to bend forward I get this pulling feeling. Tomorrow I go to the doctor for 1st follow up and suture removal I assume. I cannot take one more day of broth, I have lost 17 lbs to date. Doesn't this seem like alot of wt already? It must be Water weight because I have been on Clear Liquids for 7 days. My surgeon is very conservative and states that I will be on full liquids for the next 5 weeks. I will know for sure tomorrow. Comments appreciated. Glo

Way to go!! You go girl!! I had my first fill a couple of weeks ago and have not budged a teeny bit according to the scale. I think I need a second fill. At any rate you enjoy your loss -- we are all proud of you!

Congrats Vines, You're doing great. Don't forget that with all the exercise you're doing, that you are trading out fat for muscle. I wouldn't sweat it too much when the scale doesn't move as long as I'm seeing changes in my inches or the fit of my clothes. I know that during the times my scale didn't move, others would say I looked like I'd been losing more. 5 pounds down is great!

Congratulation Crystal! I 'm so glad your scale is going down, Mine seems to be stuck.

Keep up the great work!

Congrats Vines!!! If anybody deserves this you do. I hope it continues every week so that you end up getting kicked out of the slow losers club!!! How bout that??? :-)

You going to the meeting Monday night??

[vinesqueen 2]

Hi Vicky, no almost I never go to the support meetings. ... It's almost 800 miles one way... and I have an 8:00 am class on Tuesdays. sooo it doesn't really work for me

My DH usually goes though.

Wow, I wish I could take in that many calories and loose that much in a week. I've been taking in 600 calories a day and have been able to loose about 2.5 lbs a week.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Congrats to you for loosing 4 more pounds.

[Mrs Sabre 1]

Congratulations! Every success should be celebrated!

[vinesqueen 2]

Hi quilter mom, Wow, 600 calories a day, 2.5 pounds gone a week, why do you think you are doing something wrong???? ???? That is phenominal weight loss! Tallk about your Rabbits!

Since you've been banded in July, I've lost a total of 5 pounds to your 35 pounds.

I am THRILLED for you!!!!!!!!

[Quilter Mom 0]

Yes, but I think I'm not getting enough to eat. My diatition thinks I should take in more but I'm afraid I'll loose less

[Marimaru 7]

Quilter Mom; it's highly likely that your loss will slow down for a while if you eat a bit more, but on the other hand, if you were to hit a plateau while eating 600 cals a day, what would you do? I'm personally a firm believer of 'eat as much as you can while still losing weight' so that you can cut down if you get stuck. But that's just my opinion and I thought I'd share. Leave whatcha don't want and take what helps you
