Hi Doreen,

The most important thing you can do is to follow the advice that Dr. Allam and Pat gave you in the beginning of your journey. Then you can do exactly what you are doing right now by posting on the message board to ask for help with any questions that come up during your first days after the operation. We all know how confusing it is when you first start out and any hints we can give you are coming from experience.

Everyone is different in each step of the journey, so don't rely on timelines or amounts of weight loss that someone else has done. You will get there at your own pace and it will be an exciting goal that you can pat yourself on your back for accomplishing.

Take it easy and proceed as directed and you should have no problems with the steps towards your weight loss. Your body needs to heal at first, so take it one step at time and just know that we are here to help.

Good luck,

Jamie

Doreen you are now on your way to another part of your journey. The advice that Jamie gave was great. Follow what he said and you will be successful. Don't be hung up on who is doing what or who has lost more everyone is different. We all lose different amounts and it makes no difference as long as we are losing. Not only will you see the difference in your eating habits you will also see the change in yourself and how you feel about yourself as you go on this new road of your journey. Good luck and please keep us posted here.

Hope to see you at our next support meeting.;)

Hi Doreen,

It sounds like you are doing great!!! I am sure that you will start to notice a difference real soon. I had the lapband in June of 2007 and have lost around 125 lbs and couldn't be happier. You are right about the message board, you can ask anythine no matter how small and I am sure you will get a variety of answers that will help you out.

Keep up the good work, and keep posting,

Jamie
