Butterfly1955 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi Dana and Kim, Welcome to the forum and best of luck on your banding. You've made a great decision and the members here are cheering for you. You both have a good start and we're anxious to hear how things went so be sure to post us after surgery. Hubby (fireytaxman) and I were banded on August 4 and he is getting his first fill next week. I'm not sure when I'll get my first fill. I do know that I need to get the walking and more exercise in. September was way too busy for us. I lost my mom and we spent a week back in Michigan then when we returned home, we had vendor tables at two fairs. We won't even go into the fair food, but we were better than we thought we'd be, though no pounds were lost but none gained. October is getting back on track and starting to lose again. More walking and eating has to get back on schedule. Not eating three meals a day throws off the metabolism big time and the body goes back into starvation mode and the pounds quit coming off. Three meals a day is a must, whether you are hungry or not, at least eat something. Hi to all the members we chat with. It's been a month since we've logged in so we have missed everybody bunches!! love you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
