    I had surgery on Friday and went back to work the following Wednesday full time with NO problems. I do work an office job though. You'll know - listen to your body.

    Hi guys. I was banded on 2/13 and I have lost 18 pds so far. I have felt NO restriction for 2 weeks. But I am trying to maintain small portions and eat according to the plan. I get my first fill on 3/27 which I can't wait. I hope that I feel some restriction then. Great work everyone. Let's keep each other posted on our progress. Karen

    Welcome. You have a beautiful family. I was banded on 2/13 and already my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Good luck and if you are looking for a buddy - I will be here. Karen

    Hi Everyone. I have a question about fills and calorie consumption. I have read many posts where people say that their weight loss became greater and steadier once they find their sweet spot. My question is - is this the case because you are taking in less calories and less food? Because I have also heard that most people try to keep their calories between 800-1200 calories and that if you go too low on your calories it will slow your weight loss down as well. Hopefully I am clear enough with my question. I am due for my first fill in 2 weeks. Just curious about restriction and calories consumed.

    Doing great so far. To date, I have lost 16 pounds. I do feel as if my portions are bigger than they should be, but I am being very good about my food choices. Looking forward to my first fill and am starting to exercise this week. How about you? Karen

    Hi. Looks like you have quite a fan base here. GREAT work, for sure. I was banded on 2/13 and lost 12 pds the first week and have lost 2 pds the second, but I guess now that my stomach swelling has gone down. I feel very little restriction for quantity of food. I have to chew well and eat slowly but to fill me up and keep me full I can eat considerably more than a few onces like they recommend. For instance, for lunch today - I ate about 8 ounces of chopped kale. I am not overly full. If you remember, can you tell me a little bit about the beginning of your journey? Did you experience this before your first fill? Should I only eat a few ounces and deal with my stomach grumbling? Any advice you could lend would be great. I so want to be successful. Also could you tell me when and what you did for exercise? Thanks so much and way to go! Karen
