I haven't had a fill yet, but don't you have to be a liquids for a few days after one?? Because I was thinking that if I can get a decent price flight out I'd go but I would have to stay until Monday for a fill??

Any thoughts?

Nurse,
I know that is what is recommended by some other doctors. Dr. K doesn't recommend liquids for a few days after your fill. Give Natalie a
call and she can let you know what his recommendations are.
Your question is very valid! AND somthing that needs to be clarified.
Thank you for posting it.
Maybe there are others who can address it better than me, since I've only had 1 fill.

Dee, Wow, I can really see the difference that your weight loss is making -- your cheek bones are wonderful. Looking good there, girlie! Keep up the fabulous job that you're doing.

Nurse: I have had 4 fills so far, and they have never suggested a liquid diet afterwards. I, myself will do it, it I am filling tight. But that is me and not the per Dr. K.

You can always call and they can let you know as well.

OMG!!!!

DEE YOU ROCK!!! YOU LOOK SOOOO DIFFERENT!!! AMAZING, KEEP IT UP! I CAN SEE A HUGE CHANGE!!!!

Anyone working out today???

I got in 45 cardio, 150 sit-ups and weights~

Its not raining yet, so get your fannies out there!!

Shelbi, Thanks! I don't see the difference... but thank you. I know it will happen. I still have over 200 lbs to go -- so it's a long way off. Can you imagine what I'll look like then?

Brandy, I wish we all lived close to one another! I have a feeling you would not let any of us NOT work out! You're so motivated! Thanks for the compliment!

Here is the first picture taken at Red Robins -- the very first time I met with the Banditos, Mal, Michelle, Marilyn

I think it's pretty scary!

Hi everyone,

I haven't been posting in a while, but I've been looking around to see how you all are doing!

I just got my 2nd fill yesterday with Tom. He is so great...I walk out of there feeling completely encouraged and motivated!! It's just what I needed to get on track with exercising (which I personally) find really hard.

Good luck to all of you-hopefully the weather will get better & more consistent and it will be easier to get outside and get some cardio!!

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in awhile either. I am looking forward to the BBQ to meet some of you in person. I already have a fill scheduled for that Friday. I have been really slack lately, eating too much and sitting on my butt too much. I think I probably need a fill right now. But the good news is that people gush all over themselves when they see me. They can't believe how much weight I have lost. I can't help but feel great when they notice. I even had a guy (a good looking one at that) seriously checking me out at the grocery store. That was nice too. This Lap Band is sure a great thing!

Okay, awhile back I said I'd post progress pics (not before and after...cuz I am only a little past the half way mark to my goal...)... so I'm a "work in progress"... but I admit, I do see some progress... so that's cool....

The first pic was taken in Maine, and I was at my pre-surgery weight... about 280... the other pic is 2 weeks ago, about 205... I see the weight loss, but I still see a very big gal... but a "smaller" big gal... (I'm not pooh-poohing my progress... just getting impatient...)

I can see the difference too Taynuh!
I think it's great when you can actually see the difference.
Thanks for posting your pictures!
And Congrats!!!

adorKable · 05-04-2008, 05:00 AM

Dee.... you look so happy in your photo! =) Good looking cheekbones there missy. WTG!

Tina... You look great! I can totally see a difference in you! Wow! =)

You ladies are inspiring... I still don't notice a difference in myself, but am thinking maybe I should take some photos. I am down 60 pounds since pre-op! I finally broke my plateau. =)

Lap_dancer · 05-04-2008, 09:41 AM

DEE! WOO HOO!! Look at them cheek bones Mama!!! Way to go! Keep it up and thanks for sharing. You look so happy.

Taynuh way to go!!!!! You look excellent. I'm sure you're getting loads of compliments.

Thanks LA!
How are you doing with your Band? Everything fixed and back working for you?
I think pics can help you see the difference. I didn't think I saw one until I posted my pictures here -- the one from my first Red Robin meeting and my 3 month anniversary pic.
We'd love to see your Before and During Pics!
Share!! Please!
