had the band put in april 30th. one week yesterday. i think i have lost 7 lbs. oh i am 60. i feel good but haven,t been out walking yet. moving around good in the house though. the first week wasn,t too bad with eating, but yesterday i felt like i was starving. i don,t feel any restriction at all .it is strange. we have to remember why we did this and we will win in the end.
