My wife and I both were banded in Sept. 07 and have lost over 100 pounds each! We are thrilled with the new us but my wife is having concerns. She now has trouble making herself eat. She gets hungry but just nibbles on small stuff thinking that she is still too heavy when she looks in the mirror. All of our friends who haven't seen us for a while don't even recognize us! She has tried to explain how she feels but I just don't know how to help her. Any suggestions? She is now just about 20 pounds heavier than she wants to be.

Make sure that you take the second important step - exercise! We joined a health club immediately after surgery and that was the trick for us. The other important point for us was teamwork and support! Keep at it - you will make it!

Congrats to you as well! She is nibbling on melba toast and a few peanuts but only eats one meal a day. I am concerned that she will have troubles like anorexia.

I was banded yesterday and feel like I was kicked in the chest by a mule! I have been up and walking around for a while and will try the Gas-x in a few minutes. I too have problems sleeping. I will use the heating pad tonight.:think
