Keep up the good 10 pounds in 3 weeks is great!!!

Good Luck!!

Congrats on getting started. And welcome to the forum:)

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. I am kinda having the same problem. The first 2 days I was really tight then I was good for a week so I thought I was good. But the last 3 days I can't eat oatmeal. I would have to think that this means I am to tight but I look forward to reading so responses from others. I hope you start feeling better without have some taken out!

I am glad your daughter is ok hospital stays are scary as hell!

Well one year ago today I was getting my band put in. I am so happy I did it. I have learned a lot in the past year about my eating habits and am still learning!!! I finally hit that 'sweet spot' that I have read so much about 10 days ago with my last fill. I have started to loss again I am looking forward to seeing what this next year will bring!

Great job and good luck!! You look awesome:)

Sorry if you thought my coment was a lecture because that was not what it was intended to be. I was given my 3 options by the OCC and I(they) picked one and followed it as was suggested. They reason they gave it to me and everyone else is because there is a good chance if you are having this done it is because of over eating and they are wanting to help you. And this is all I was wanting to do by suggesting you follow a diet that has worked for so many.

I think if they tell you to do lean cuisine and shakes that is what you should be doing. This will be a total life style change and starting out switching up the meals during the first week will only make it hard for you in the long run. I found that the pre-op diet started to train me to make better choices and eat less. Just think how hard it is going to be going from your normal diet to broth. Good luck!!

I hope you find the answer to your question and good luck!

Did you ask for it cause if so I missed it?

Well I am just a few months into this process. I have had 2 fills and could eat a hotdog but don't want to(lol) bread is a no no! I also have a hard time with apples(peel) salad, chicken, turkey, roast beef and hamburger and let us not forget RICE! Just seams if it is dry or sticky it will not go down. That said I am down 34 pounds and would trade all of those things for the way I have been feeling. This was the best decision for me. I wish I would have done it sooner. I went to the OCC and was very happy! I was not a number!! I wish you luck and hope you find the answers you are looking for!

Good Luck!!!

Wow! You look Great!

I felt a bit yucky the first 2 weeks but it was worth it! Why did they have fluid in your band or am I missing something? I hope you feel better soon and good luck!

I have an elliptical which I don't like but I bought it 2 years ago and I am going to use it!! I did 20min tonight and feel great. I really think this is going to kick my weight loss into high gear. Thanks everyone for your coments and advice I will keep you posted on how it goes!

So I have decided it is time to work out! Any advice on how to start out? I walk lots outside when it's not -40 but want to walk on my trainer this winter. I feel like I am on the biggest losser. I was sure I was going to vomit after 13min yesterday. I am not really a fan of working out(as one would guess at 239) So is it best to start out shorter times a couple of times a day or just continue to work past the past out stage? Any good tips would be great! Thanks Mamabear

You look awesome! Great job:)

Am wondering if anyone else will be at the Marriot Nov 23+24th?
