Update

hey Junesters, I just wanted to see if I could get an update on you guys!! How is the battle going?? So far i have lost 12 lbs post op, and 32 lbs total. The pain is only there when I bend, otherwise I am not having problems. I am increasing my exercise on a daily basis, hoping to incorporate new exercises soon. Eating is going really well!!!! How is everyone else doing?? Heather

I'm doing pretty well. Still having a lot of problems getting tha****er in. I still have a g-tube in so some pain from that. My biggest thing right now is the itching from the healing incisions! I have scratch marks all over my stomach. I haven't weighed in a few days, but the last time I did I was down 13#.

I am doing better other than drain tube and staples. I stopped by the doc's office last week and had lost 19 lbs , and according to my scales today it looks like about 25 lbs will know for sure thrusday's doc visit. sounds like you are doing great keep up the good work. I am going to try and walk around my neighborhood today.

I am doing very well i am down 30 pounds. 52 since my heaviest that was at my first vist to the nutr. But all is going well. very exciting journey we are all on...

I'm doing fantastic! Had Lap-RNY 6/26. Hardly any pain to speak of now. Not that I had much before. I'm down 35 lbs total since I began my pre-op diet & down 16.5 lbs since surgery. I didn't have staples or drain tube. WOOHOO! My incisions are healing great. I do have a slight rash on my abdomen. I think it might be from my bath soap; but it hasn't changed late. But the rash was better yesterday afternoon after going to the doctor & when I took a bath last night it got worse over night. So, I'm still taking the meds he gave me & I bought some aveeno to try to see if that helps. I took my daughter to a Kenny Chesney concert last night. We had an absolute blast!!! The show was 7 hours long. I was afraid I'd get worn out; but I drank lots of water & sat down when needed. And all the dancing got rid of about 2.5 lbs! I need to start walking more. I'm buying a treadmill w/ the wedding $$$ from my dad. I'd rather walk a treadmill than walk our subdivision. Traffic flies by! I bought some weights to start working on my arms tho. That's going well. Hope everyone else is doing great!!! Lisa 380/345/160

Wow... I'm so glad to hear about all of the good progress we are making. I always worry about asking that because I have seen alot of negative and scary things being posted lately. I hope that our good progress continues and that the people that are having difficulties get things worked out so they can enjoy the benefits of the band. Kudos to all!! Heather

I am doing much better now! My pain is so much better! I just need my pain meds @ night. Weight wise, I am about the same. I have lost 25 ish pounds. I am so happy with that! I will be glad once I get 1 month out. Robin

doing great here, have been back to work for 2 weeks and have lost 24 lbs and 8 inches since june 14th. cant really complain about that,lol. glad to hear everyone is doing well!!

Doing great here as well! I was on the 30th - it too****il the 7th to have ANY energy, or to feel remotely human again, but I do now! I'm actually doing about normal energy wise right now, and I'm sure that's because I'm having trouble getting in all my fluids and protein still. When I do get it all in, I am feeling great the following day. Great job Junies!!! Tin K
