I have lost 50lbs and have yet to be a fill. I will get a fill in two weeks. I am excited to lose 50 more pounds and then I will be at 150lbs.

I reached my first weight goal.................200 lbs

I have lost 25 pounds to date....2 pounds per week and I am ok with that. I have not had any problems. I need to start exercising. I eat about 600-700 cal. per day. I have only had a few days were I was hungry.
My goal is to lose 18 pounds before I go back to teaching. I can wear 16 & 18 sizes in clothes. I eat alot of fish and can't wait until I can eat hard food. :)

Hi. Today is my two weeks anniversary. I have very little pain near my port incision and thats it. Yeh. I have enjoyed my soft foods diet. I take in about 600-800 cal a day and 40-60 grams of protein. I only lost one pound this week, but I am hoping maybe tomorrow it will show two pounds. Today, I go to my PCP for my two year check-up since my surgeon is in Dallas. I have very happy that I have been banded. Last night, I tried on a pull-over jacket and it fit perfect. It used to be kinda snug. So, I am very excited. People say that I look thinner in my face and waist. I have noticed my face, waist and arms. I am going to exercise more. I want 20 pounds off by Aug 1. Then I will have lost about 40 pounds in 3 months. :) yeh.

Hi. I am nine days out from my surgery and doing well. I have some pain near my port incision, but it doesn't stop me from doing what I want to do. I am on Stage 2: soft foods. I eat yogurt, beans, ground hamburger, soup, eggs, etc. I eat very very small meals. I eat to fuel my body and I use protein powder to help get my 60 grams in a day. Even though, I am not hungry, I can't wait to be able to eat anything.

I am so happy---I have lost 19 pounds since May 19. Yeh. My goal is to have off 24 more pounds off by the time I go back to teaching when school starts.

I am very happy that I had the band done. I want to start going to the support group at Bailey Medical, I think it would be a great experience. 

Hi. I am going great today. The pain is less than yesterday. Its so hard to drink all my protein. I drink Isopure. I don't mind it and I have another 10 days on the liquid diet. I need to call my doctor and ask if I need to do another 7 days after Thursday. Thursday, I will be one week out from my surgery. I think I am going to go to the support group at Bailey Medical even though I had my surgery done in Dallas. I want my weight loss to continue so I will do anything to help me through this journey.

Today is so much better than yesterday. My pain is down to a 3 out of 10. I have switched to tylenol. I still have lots of gas.
I have never felt weak, just no desire to eat. I drink my water and Isopure. I am on liquids for another four days. I have don't mind Isopure. I kinda like it now. I am walking again today...walking helps so much.

I had my surgery in Dallas, TX on Thursday, May 27.  My husband and I drove home the next day after my surgery to Tulsa, OK.  I walked very hour after the surgery. Sleeping has been no problem. Waliking is less painful, the more I walk. Getting out of chairs and off the couch is the worse.


Saturday: I slept great last night. I woke up at 7am and took some medicine and then slept until 10am. I showered with no problems, My doctor used glue on my incisions. My pain has been around a 4 to 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. For the last two days, I walk for about 15 minutes every hour. Very little shoulder pain, but the gas is worse today. I can go about 5 hours until I have to take medicine. I hope to switch to Tylenol tomorrow. I am having no problems drinking my 40 grams of Isopure and 30 ounces of water.

The werid thing is that I gained three pounds from the surgery. I had lost 16 pounds on my 14 days pre-op diet.

Sorry, I my ideas are jumping all over the place, I hurt.:)

I am so excited about getting my band. I got my EDG done.  Next is getting my psych clearance letter. Then I get to schedule my surgery. I am a cash customer so I get to do this process at my pace, not the insurance company's pace.
