OMG!!! Wonderful!!! What was ur starting weight? I was banded on Sept 28 ,2013. Feeling very discourage.

Hi I was banded on Aug 28th. I'm doing ok. I am still doing liquids n the last weight I was 13 pounds down. I don't see or feel a difference. I'm not able to get 1000 cals in but I do have my protein shakes n water in. I eat a lot of ss Popsicles. I have about 2 cups of soup a day n some yogurt. I walk about 30 minutes a day. I was hoping for better results but it is what it is right now. I plan to increase my walking this week. My first fill is scheduled for Oct 14th n I am a little nervous about that. I hope we can b band buddys. I'm from Washington DC. Where do u live?

I am 2 weeks banded.I went to my family function today n there was so much food. I prepared my lunch bag with yogurt protein shake n some broth. However I wanted what they were eating. I sucked the seasons from 4 jerked wingets. I put a spoonful of onion dip n my hand n ate that. Then I went n set down n ate my food that brought from home. I was so week. I did not bite the chicken n swollen. I just wanted to taste it. Should I feel so bad? Did I do so bad? I plan to cut back tomorrow n only have the protium shakes n water.???¢

You look great!!! How much did you loose

Are there any more aug 28th bandster out there. I live in Washington, DC. I had my surgery done at Providence Bariatric Surgery Center by Dr. Rickford . Looking for band buddies...

Hi Robertd - I was banded on 8/28 as well. Welcome n best wishes

U look amazing!!!

Good job!

What changed? Did you stop eating healthy, not working out, or??? I'm asking because I'm newly banded and want to understand what contributed to the weight gain. Thanks and best wishes!

I am 3 days post op!!! No pain at all!!! I was in the operating room at 7:30am and home in my bed by 12:30pm. I walked around in my house for 10 minute intervals the first day. Yesterday I walked to the end of my block and today I plain to do the 30 minute walk around the block. I'm so happy to be on this journey. I feel wonderful doing something so BIG for myself. I will add before and after pictures soon. I welcome all advice and wish all bandsters especially September 2013 bandsters. LET'S ROCK!

I plan to go back to work next Wednesday. So I've only have 7 days of recovery. I was nervous and excited as well but now I am more then happy that I have my band. I have experienced any major pain or gas. I'm trying very hard to get my Protein shakes n Water n but its kind if difficult to do because I'm just not hungry. Other. Then that all is wonderful.

Great job!!!!
