Nice to meet you Joy. I am going to go to my first support group meeting there Jan. 13th I think. Will you be going by chance? I am looking forward to 3 things right now. 1)Solid Food.....I am so hungry on liquids, but not really having any more weight loss 2) Getting my first fill so I won't feel so hungry 3) Weight loss! I've lost 20 pounds, but most of that was with my 10 day pre-op liquid diet. Debbie

I thought the first month was the rapid loss month? I lost 14lbs the first week, 2lbs the second week and nothing the third week; I am walking 30-45 a day, eating what I am suppose to-this is very frustrating. Has anyone else had this problem so early in the program?????

Can anyone help me with information on lap band surgery? I think I can get it done in Wichita. Has anyone out there had their surgery there?

Can you explain a little more. I would like to know more about this. KD Merry Christmas

Good for you Phyllis! I had my surgery the 12th, am still a little sore, esp when I bend down, etc, but it is much much better. The port site seems to give the most trouble, is it that way with yours? Let me know if you come up with any good congoctions for your liquids. I tried liquified mashed potatoes, green beans and meatloaf a couple of days ago (blended really well, with milk added until it was a soup). Not all that delicious, lol.
