Hunzi,
I hope you hang with us, once a Jun-ie always a Jun-ie!!

I was so excited to have finally lost this week, only to have it reshow up. GRRRR I see my calories are now averaging in the 700 range up from the 500 range while on mushies. But still that ain't much!! Will just keep plugging along, allow the body to heal and see what I find out at my first fill.

Hey all!
I was banded on June 16th and have lost 10 lbs. since surgery and am counting from then, because I did not have to go on a preop diet, so that's the place to start!! Anyway,,,good luck to all!!

Ok, When I read your replies yesterday I officially cried! Thanks so much for the support! I think it's just starting to hit me that I've been through all this and I still don't have a band. It's so ironic. Now I'm just focused on getting better and not gaining any weight back. I got on the scale this morning and I'm up almost 5lbs. So I've got to get serious. I did drag my fanny onto the treadmill and did a mile. I'm going to have to be consistant with that!

I'm still having trouble eating much. I eat pretty lightly for breakfast/lunch, and then have a larger dinner, but my eyes are bigger than my stomach - I tend to take too much (which is less than I'd eat before) and even though I don't eat all of it usually, I'm stuffed to uncomfortable for the rest of the evening! I told DH to remind me to take about half of what I usually serve back off my plate! (I am getting in my 60g of protein - usually by adding some protein powder to my soup.)

And how's this for not fair? I had a PB! I was in Sams Club last Saturday, and I'm never there on the weekends when they have samples. I had been out early (got a wax and pampered myself!) and hadn't eaten breakfast, so by noonish I was hungry. So I figured a couple of tiny samples wouldn't hurt! I had about an ounce of margarita mix (virgin), 6 tostito scoops with about 2Tbsp of dip, a 2 bite brownie, (all this over about an hour), then I met the wrong thing! They were sampling a hamburger recipe and giving away tiny bite sized quarter hamburgers. It was honestly 1 bite! And it went down and I knew I was in trouble! Got the golf ball feeling, mouth watering like crazy, nausea....I just stood there not knowing what to do, because I knew if I ran for the bathroom (200 yards away) I'd never make it. So I just stood there in the aisle (out of the way from most people) and tried to breathe and hoped the feeling would go away! But in the end, up it came! Luckily, I had grabbed a handful of napkins, so I just PBed into them and prayed no one noticed (I don't think so). It was awful! And then I still had to wait around because I was waiting for some deli meats to be sliced. I felt like a limp rag by the time I got home! No fun at all! And no fair getting all the bad side effects of the band and still not having one! LOL. At least if any of you ever have a PB, I'll be able to relate (but I hope you never do!)

I've been a lot more careful this week. No more incidents, but I'm avoiding burgers and more solid stuff for a bit longer!

Always ;-)

who stopped and bought herself flowers to console herself!

Just got my scale delivered yesterday, down 24 pounds now :biggrin2: I promised myself I would only weigh myself once a week, though. I refuse to torture myself like that

Hey teford. I went ahead and updated the spread sheet with this info. Make sure you PM when you have any updates. We as a group are making great strides. Amost 1 ton we lossed so far!


Also, just weighed myself and I am pretty happy. Lossed 30 lbs since I began preop June 8th.

Hi all. I hope everyone is doing well.

Still on full liquids another week and also feeling sore at port site.

Hunzi---Hope you are doing better. Hang in there Junie.

I was wondering how to revise your numbers on the Junie Spreadsheet. I haven't had too much loss , but still would like to show some progress, LOL!!!!

I was banded on May 23, 2008. I was a little bit scared. I was unsure about the outcome. I was sure that I had to take control of my health.
I wanted to lose weight. Well I am doing just that. I have lost 51 lbs.
I have about 25 lbs to go.
