This is my first time on here. I had my surgery December 1st 2010. From pre op to post I have lost 64lbs. I am excited to start off 2011 with this TOOL to help me become healthier. My Journey has been uneventful, insurance approval was quick and I had found a great Dr. I have had great support from family and friends, my sister has been there for me from the beginning.

I am being banded in feb please give me any tips that u have

Just follow all the instructions that you Dr. gives you. The two weeks that I fasted before surgery started out tough, after about four days in it got easier. I had to do that thru Thanksgiving. After banding I just followed instructions the best I could do. I quit drinking pop and beer two weeks before fasting and have not missed it for nothing. Water and Crystal Light drinks mixes are my new best friend. For my fasting I used EAS Carb-Advantage protien drinks for meal replacement. Due to having to work I was allowed to have white albacor tuna and canned chicken breast meat drained for added protien in moderation. Breakfast after surgery consists of oatmeal and turkey sausage patties or scrambled egg whites with little cheese mixed in and some bacon everynow and again. I am now eating regular meals and not drinking while I eat. I do try to order off kids menu when I eat out. When I order regular meals I do not even eat half and take home for later. When you thinks you are full quit. Drink as much water as you can before you eat and about 1 to 11/2 hrs after you can start drinking again. It has taken alot of self control to do this, but I am happy with the results so far. Your mind tells says you are hungry but really you are not, that is what I had to fight and still do.
