welcome to the site! i'm sure you'll find lots of love here!!! my husband will be banded on that day as well:) just remember the band is a tool and i think you will be fine...i am by no means an expert as i was just banded two weeks ago, but i am determined to make this work...many of us are/were scared to have this procedure, but i think we are more scared of what will happen to us if we don't do something about our weight...a year ago i was one of those people that thought i would never go to such drastic measures to lose weight, but look at me now...good luck to you and keep us posted.

Congrats Gramaof4,please do keep us all posted, you definately have what it takes to be a major loser.

at 3-4 weeks is when my hunger came back so fierce I felt like I could eat everything in the house. This is normal! My doctor told me its because the swelling is going down. I have been doing a regular Zumba class, its fun! I thought about getting it for the Wii, but I have too many people living in my house and never get a chance to even watch TV, much less use the Wii. When my friend and her family move out (hopefully soon) there will be 5 less people in my house and I can get back to my normal routines again!

zumba for wii! sounds like fun! i also have been fridge shopping and not feeling any hunger:( i really paid attention to my body yesterday and ate way less than i had in a few days...those old pesky habits...

ugh! so true! I took on too much and split one of my incisions open! Luckily it was just top layer of skin after stitches were out - but still! I did too much and that's what happens! Take it easy! We still have a lot of rebuilding to do! What you didn't do is fall off the wagon and let it run you over - that in itself is a HUGE victory! Congrats on that! Let your emotions out! Stuffing the weight of a cheesecake down on them makes them 10 times as bad!

Right there with ya.............. My scale hasn't moved in three weeks--I get my first fill on the 25th (2 days)....and am praying that will jump-start a little more loss............. Working/Waiting toward/on that 'Green Zone'...........
