I am so glad that I came back to this web site. I was banded on May 8th and have lost 35 lbs. I was feeling blue because I have been at a platue for about a week. I have only had one fill and am going back to the DRTuesday and am sure they will put in another fill. I was feeling like I was not making much progress, but you all have made me feel very good. I also have the same problem when I eat to fast and do not chew good. I have never had such pain ever. I do not think I have ever been full yet. I just let my self eat so much and then I stop. Thank you for keeping all this infomation handy. i will do a much better job of staying in contact. Thank you thank you. cad:thumbup:

How is every one. I was banded on Thursday (can't belive i can say that). I am doing very well. No pain meds today, and very little gas pain. I have been trying to move around and then rest. I am surprised how good I do feel. I was able to lose 17 lbs on the pre op diet and Dr said that really helped. Guess they do know what they are talking about. would like to hear from others. I am still doing protein shakes today. Cheryl:thumbup:

That is a really good idea. I am doing fine on the pre op except that yogurt seems to go straight through, if you know what I mean. I am really getting excited about Thursday. I hope to be able to return to work on Monday.

Thanks for the tip. Have you been able to cut back on your meds, or are you on insulin? My Dr told me to keep a close eye on my suger and start cutting out the larger pills first. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for the info.

I am all for the support. Think the journey will be more fun with all the help. I have been reading things on this site for at least a month and all the information has been very helpful. Yea for May 8.

My Doctor gave me a list of things That I could eat. It has really worked. I am eating light fat free Dannon Yogurt, Atkins protein shakes, cottage cheese, sugar free jello, and sugar free pop sickles. I tried some broth but that really went through me FAST. Is any body from Kansas? I am being banded Thursday and can hardley wait.

I am also Scheduled for May 8th. The diet is hard, just glad it will be over by the time garden season sets in. Hope tomatoes and cucumbers still work for me. Have a good day and good luck

:lol:I also am being banding May 8th. I am very excited and can hardley wait. I have been on the pre-op diet for 6 days. Doing very well. I would like to join a group being banded in May. I m sure I will have LOADS of questions. I am having my surgery in Kansas. Is anyone else in Kansas?

:confused: I am attending meeting on Saturday. Has anybody had lap band done in Topeka?
