I can totally relate!!! I was banded in January, and did great the first few weeks, and then suddenly it slowed down, or pretty much stopped, and I have been the same weight for the last few weeks. I am putting so much effort into this, and I am getting frustrated that the results arent what I had hoped. But on the flip side, I feel better than I have in years, and this is the most motivated i have ever been to see this through! I know this is a journey, and I need to be patient. Its good to know this is part of the process and Im not alone in experiencing this!

I just saw my doctor yesterday for my 2 week post-op and he said I was ok to start excercising, so it may depend on your doctor.

I am just about to finish my liquid phase of post-surgery, and move on to "mushies". As much as I am looking forward to tasting food again, the idea of eating pureed chicken is not really exciting me! Looking for any ideas or tips that has helped others be successful during this phase. Thanks!

I was banded on the 16th, and so far so good! Today I have started to get some discomfort in my mid back. Just wondering if this is normal, and if anyone else has experienced the same. Thanks!
