Hi all, Great info from this group, thanks!!! Going in today for my first fill, just under 20 pounds lost since surgery. But now, like some of you, I find myself able to eat ANYTHING , just not too much of it. I'm looking forward to feeling much more restricted. And I see it as another chance to kick the Carb Monster to the curb. Best of luck to all

Hi all, Thanks first for all the good info I'm reading here!!. Some I can relate to, some not yet, but we are all on the same path! Intro: married, no children, super supportive husband who is MORE excited about my weightloss than I am, if possible, lots of pets. I was banded on 11/30/2010, went thru the usual "what have I done business" and the worse can't breathe feeling. The incisions are closing well, and at yesterdays check up things were going good, per the Doctor. Best news is that I've lost 49 pounds (since the beginning, when because of my hugely excessive weight I was on the pre-op diet for 2 months). So far, so good. I am now adding in a little protien in the form of cheese or eggwhite in the early morning and hope this will hold me thru the day (because I AM hungry). No huge bursts of energy, but I am still carrying around a LOT of weight. Planning to follow the Dr. and Nutiritionist orders to the letter, and keep on losing the weight Best of luck to all, especially to those who are yet to be banded. SB
