In a constant state of change right now and for those of you that are still watching. I am doing well. Should be out of treatment in the next few week and moving forward with my life. I love all of you dearly and I am sorry for those that I am out of touch with at this time.

You know I did the same thing you did. Day in and day out all I did was prep for the surgery the side effects, I stressed myself out beyond words. The band in itself is an excellent tool for weightloss. But like everything else in life it is falable. When I say that you read a lot of horror stores about medical treatments every single day. In this case the lap band. Honestly I think a lot of it is the person, or operator error. You really have to change your brain befor you get the band. If you dont you will be absolutely miserable afterwords. Even today nine months post op I have to be super careful, I measure my food, I eat right. Like green foods, whole foods. Start cutting the crap out of your diet right now. Doing this is going to be very helpful in your sucess of surviving life post band. I get stuck pretty much every time I eat. I don't have a huge fill either. I have only had one fill in the whole time ive had it. Somethings I would reckomend for you which I still do today is juicing. Juice fasting is a great way to prep your body for the surgery. You will get every thing that you need nutrition wise while adhering to the pre op diet. I do 1 and 2 week juice fasts to reset my bad every so often. Do the mental work now befor surgery because its going to make all the difference.

Lets start at the begining. One the band is tool but without the right food plan and exercize program the band will not work for anyone. I was banded March 24th, 2011. I did not have a fill untill May 6th, 2011. I did manage in that time to lose 35 pounds. Not because of having restriction because I lived like I did. I measure everything that goes in my body, 4 ounces thats it period plain and simple. No extra fats, no hamberger patties, no fried foods. Scrabbled eggs are good, or one packet of oatmeal or wheat hearts are good breakfasts. lunch meats from the deli I get them to slice it thick, one large slice, a slice of cheese and an ounce of dill pickel is a lunch. dinner baked chicken breast four ounces, and if ive been good I will have a cup of organic salid mix and vinager dressing with a tea spoon of minced garlic. Thats it, keep it simple only eat the amount that is safe to protect your band until you get the fill that will give you restriction. If you eat too much now, when you get a good fill your going to eat too much then and either make yourself sick, or damage your band and none of us want that. A friend of mine got banded by the same doctor on the same day. She has not lost any weight, she had her fill before I did however she got hers without the fluroscopy. She has no restriction. I had mine done with the fluroscopy got 6.88 cc in my band, I have great restriction. The band is a tool but if your not living the program, eatting the exact amounts you should be you really are cheating yourself. Hamberger patties are loaded with fat. You have to watch everything now. I hope your able to get things going the right way. -
