I had surgery Dec. 6. I had one fill on Feb. 6. I can not tell any difference and am getting nervous. When is it going to kick in? I have lost about 20lbs, but most of that was in the first month.

Sarah, Good luck to ya'all. I am across state and go to a support group in SF. Maybe when we vacation out there I'll visit your support group. I wish you the best.

What surgery did you have/are you hoping to have? RNY - lap on June 8, 2006 What is a big question you are wondering about? Right now, can I still have the stomach flu- and is that why I feel so sh**y (its going around school, that and influenza A and B) What is something that is going REALLY well for you? Weight loss. I am losing more slowly now, but I am OK with that. What is something you are struggling with? Carbs...newbies, don't start eating the breads, don't try any candy, don't take a taste because once you realize you can do it, you are more tempted to cheat!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Do you attend a support group? If so, please share the information and times etc. We meet every third Monday of the month at the Sanford Hospital (SVH previously) in the lower level. Sometimes they have speakers, othertimes its just us and our leader

It starts at 7:00, but many times they have informational meetings prior to the support group for people looking into WLS. I like to attend those too - and have learned a lot through them. Maybe I'll see you all there.

I had Lap Band on Feb 1st!!! I guess I am wondering about food ideas I am almost in stage 2 (mushy foods YEH!!) I am feeling great thus far and down 17 pounds. Last night I had to cook and serve at a SWEETHEARTS banquet at my sons school for 160 people bacon wrapped chicken breasts, 2 delisious salads and pasta and plenitful desserts I cooked served and when all the ladies sat down to eat I left STARVING to go home and eat my pototo soup THAT WAS A TOUGH ONE the whole time I was thining I wonder if I could eat this so that it was in puree form and have no trouble but I made it so I am proud of that. I am plannign to attend one Feb 22nd. Kristie

What surgery did you have/are you hoping to have? I had Lap Gastric Bypass Surgery 12/05 What is a big question you are wondering about? Hmmm...I can't think of any off hand. What is something that is going REALLY well for you? Well, three weeks ago, I would have said exercise, but since we moved I have been AWFUL! So, I hope to get back on the wagon. What is something you are struggling with? Eating things with sugar...I don't dump and of course I tried things. So, my advice to the newbies, NEVER, EVER try sugar and then you will never know! Do you attend a support group? If so, please share the information and times etc. No, but I'd like to.
