6-8-08, 257, 14 pounds lost

I thought I'd record some thoughts about a typical, fun-filled summer weekend's worth of activities in my life and how they have changed (or not) post-band.

My husband and I are extremely social creatures, and in the summer time we are constantly entertaining, hosting parties, etc. This weekend was typical for us: we planned a gathering for 30 or so friends at a local bar to celebrate my husband's birthday on Friday, and on Saturday we co-hosted...

I'm almost 9 weeks post-op and still have lost only 20 pounds. I've had to be real with myself and look at the things I'm doing to sabbotage myself. I was so excited to have been approved by my insurance to get my band. I really believed it was the start of a whole new life for me. I read all the literature, the books, the blogs and forums. I understood that it was just a "tool" to help me. I even signed my life away saying that I understood this was a tool and there were things I had...

I was banded 6-5-08 for the next 36 hours I was horribly nauseaed! Especially with any movement. Dry heaves really bad. They think it was a reaction to the anesthesia. Then for the next 36 hours had a horrible headache. My incisions and abdomen did not hurt at all due to all of this other stuff going on. I hope it gets better from here on out. Really feeling this was a mistake???? I have lost 10 pounds but don't think it was worth it so far.

I am wondering if anyone out there has the same problem as me: I can eat anything without any problems, I have a 14 cc band which has 12.5 cc of fluid in it I was banded on 9/17/07 and have lost 42 lbs. but I eat way too large a portions at one time. I guess I thought after being banded I would get sick or feel horrible if I ate over the recommended amount. any body elese have the same problems??

Doc says surgery went well but I gotta tell you...I never imagined the pain would be this bad! Had I known I don't think I would have gone thru with it.

I had surgery on June 4th and since then I have lost 10 pounds for a total now of like 22 I think (bad at math lol).

I am praying for the day I wake up and feel much better.
