  1. I am in the same bandster hell! I don't get my first fill till Jan 16th and I am nervous about recording everything I have eaten today. It is so frustrating because I lost 13 pounds the first two weeks and now I have gained a few pounds back. I am just so hungry all the time. I'm trying to work out to balance out the calories but the familiar guilt is back. Jan 16th can't come fast enough! It feels good to know that I am not the only one and that things will get better.

    December Bandsters!! How Ya Feeling??

    Hello Dec bandsters! I was banded on Dec 9th. I have lost 27lbs overall and 13lbs since surgery. Weird thing is I lost the 13 pounds the first week after surgery. Since then, nada! I have even gained a pound back. After surgery I had massive grumbles in my tummy and reflux. That went away about 1 week post surgery but my appetite came back. BOO! It was a nice change of pace to not feel hungry or desire food. I guess this is bandster hell? I love all the lingo words we get to use since being banded. Best wishes to everyone in their journey. I have two mantras: 1. The scale does not define me. 2. Progress not perfection.

  4. I had lap band on December 9th too. It was rough going for the first 3-4 days. It seemed that one problem would go away as another one popped up. 1st chest pains that lead to an ER visit to find that it was gastritis. 2nd was constant diarrhea. 3rd was having fevers. I'm still not 100%, I still get chest pains when I breathe in and lots of gas. Add to that the watching other people eat these amazing foods. I know this is a choice I made for me and I would never go back, it is just so hard sometimes. Anyone have gas pains on day 8? I thought it was suppose to be over. Dear God give me patience.
