Julie, I have a question for you. How much do you eat now? I've read that you will only be able to eat 2-3 tablespoons of food each meal - 3x a day. I was banded on 5/16/07 and can eat way more than that! I have not had my first adjustment yet so there is no saline in my band yet. Will the amount I am able to eat change after the adjustment? I hope so because if not I feel like this is useless. Thanks! Tina

Hi Lynette, My name is Tina, I'm 36 and I live in Florence, Kentucky also. I was banded on May 16th but have not had my first adjustment yet. I hope that it makes me feel less hungry and to not be able to eat as much as I am now. I lost 16 pounds in a month (including the 10 day liquid diet before the surgery) but now I feel like I've hit a wall. Dr. Smith did my surgery but I did not have to go to any classes like you mentioned in your email. I kind of wish I did have a support group though because maybe that would help. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong and thought it would be helpful to talk to others that have had it done or are going to have it done. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for listening, Tina
