I feel so tired and have had more shoulder and chest pain and I haven't changed my diet. Has anyone else experienced this with their first cycle after being banded? I just hope I don't have to go thru this every month, I just want to crawl up in the bed and sleep all day. I couldn't even drink all my protein shake this morning. I hope this passes soon. Blahhhhhh!!!:sad: ]]> Rebrph http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7170.html http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7142.html Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:11:58 GMT I was banded 3 weeks ago today. I have lost 14.4 lbs since surgery and 19.9 lbs including the 2 week pre-op diet. I am so happy. I wish I had done this a year ago, I can't believe I ever considered not having this done. I already feel so much better. :thumbup: ]]> Rebrph http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7142.html http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7056.html Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:09:58 GMT Well today is 11 days post-op for me.

I am keeping a diary everyday of what I eat and how much I exercise. I actually enjoy writing my day down on paper. It helps keep me honest.

Do not drink your protein shake toooo fast. I guess I was going back to my old ways and I didn't realize how fast I was drinking, not until the shoulder pain kicked in. Well 2 hours later I am feeling better but believe me I will slow down from now on. :eek: ]]> Rebrph http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7032.html http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7024.html Sat, 06 Sep 2008 13:40:51 GMT I know I should be happy but I am disappointed in myself. Today I weighed for the first time since my surgery 8/29/08. I have only lost 5.4 lbs. I have been on the clear liquids and I have been walking 30 minutes a day.

I know everyone is different. I guess I just set myself up for a let down. If I only lost 5.4 lbs this week I am scared for the next week considering I am moving up to full liquids. What do I do??:confused: ]]> Rebrph http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7024.html http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blogs/46396/blog7020.html Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:49:25 GMT I must confess I feel really good. I am starting my full liquid diet tomorrow and I have been exercising and have been cleaning house. I went and had a manicure and pedicure today. I am so excited about my new life with my band. I will be weighing tomorrow for the first time since surgergy. :smile: I must confess I feel really good.
