Topic: WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST
Good Morning Everyone,
Hope you are having a great week. I was thrilled that yesterday was a "drama free" day in my life. If you knew what has been going on in my life and to what extent you would understand that statement from me. LOL Hopefully my life or rather a family members life is starting to look up. But only time will tell that for sure. Please pray for my family if you believe in prayer. This post is a post to declare what we are grateful for on a daily basis. No matter what is going on in our lives....how bleak life looks for us all. There is always something to be grateful for.....after all....you woke up today and you are reading this. Be grateful for another day to make good choices and be grateful for your eyes if there is nothing else. LOL PLEASE feel free to share with us what you are grateful for today. Today I am grateful for my family. I am SO grateful for my friends here on Obesity Help and all the support and encouragement that has been given to me during this time in my life. Grateful for hope for changes in one of my son's. Grateful for realization that your life isn't as bad as you thought that it was and that things that happen in your life really ARE for the best to make you a better person. Grateful for upcoming OH conference Sept. 9 - 10 in New Orleans, La. Hope to see you there.

Cheyenne89,
CONGRATS on your bundle of joy!! And CONGRATS on coming back to OH and getting back on track.
My advice, get back to basics. Pretend you've just had the operation and go through all the stages. Also remember you have a TOOL!! Now that you're "ready" go for some adjustments and see how that works out.
Also go to support groups; talk to your Bariatric Doctor and see your Nutritionists. All this will help you on you journey.
Know we're here for you!!

Topic: RE: first fill
Expect the worst, this way when it doesn't happen you'll ask yourself "what was I worried about????".
Not much too it, depending on the Doctor. You'll get one shot to numb the area. After a few minutes the Doctor will insert the needle and do the "fill".
You'll drink barium (which is terrible tasting) and watch how the fluid is passing by the band.
Make sure you post your experience. It will invaluable to others.
GOOD LUCK!!

I was just banded (Realize) on July 6th.
Still healing, still dealing, and sill trying to figure this all out.
I had a emotional first week. but went for my first post op appt today.
Down 8 lbs. and most importantly... NO MORE EFFING JELLO!!!!
I had the most AMAZING bowl of Farina for dinner! I didnt know Farina could taste so wonderful!
Anyway, just introducing myslef.
These boards are pretty slow, but id like to get some good tips from bandies who have been around a while.

You will get there...just hang in there and have lots of patience. It is usually slower coming off with the band but if you stay with the program and do as your surgeon tells you .....you will be successful.

Hello and congratulations on your new baby,
I am not a bandster but I am a OH Support Group Leader. There is a lady who goes to my church that had that happen to her. In fact she got pregnant two times. She got her fill....got back on track with her eating and exercising and lost ALL of her weight. You can do this and we are all in the back ground cheering you on !!! Come her for support and encouragement if you need it. ALL the WLS work if they are worked properly. Good luck to you as you begin again.
