Okay, so my wife and I are new to the band. I'm 8 days in and she's 5. Yeah, three days apart. That was mainly so I could be at the hospital with her as opposed to our annoying parents... We're curious. When you have a PB or rather, need to PB, how soon after eating does it happen? Is it an immediate, I just swallowed and now I need to PB? Or is it something that could happen minutes after eating? Thanks!

Thanks a ton for the response. This site rocks!

I got banded on 3/9 and I'm concerned about my weight loss. Here are the details. 10 day Full liquid Diet prior 7 days of Clear liquids after (1 more day!!!) 7 days of Full Liquid in week 2 (can't friggen wait!) So I'm 16 days into this modified diet and 6 days banded. I've lost 32lbs. I started at 328lbs and now weigh 296lbs. I'm losing weight at a rate of 2lbs a day. I am following the diet exactly. On day 5 my nutritionist allowed me to go up to 1/2 cup of Breakfast shake once a day. Should I be worried? Thanks!

Yeah, I'm not going to be upset if it slows down. I don't want to lose weight this fast. I plan to do my best to avoid the need to have plastic surgery (ie. working out as much as physically possible etc..) It still hasn't slowed. I lost 2 more last night. 293 and flying off of me. Oh yeah, I also don't want to have to buy new clothes so fast (written while smiling!!!)

Thanks for the support folks. I'm off the diet tonight per my nutritionist and on the Full Liquid. WOOHOO!
