9/2/2009 Status Report for August Bandits!
ssj2519 replied to sandiegokate's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded Aug. 17. I am on solids and have had no problems eating anything I have tried...including hamburger meat (in soup). I have lost 22 lbs. I have slowed down, but losing 2-3 lbs per week. -
What are normal symptoms after surgery
ssj2519 replied to Cindy1955's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The pain and discomfort does get better. I was just banded 08-17-09. I was amazed at how quick I improved and my strength came back!! Just got off clear liquids yesterday and the mased potatoes I had were the best ever!!! But I was only able to eat a very small helping!! Best of luck to you!! -

I can relate!! I had my band August 17. I do not go for my follow up until this Thursday. I had to call the nurse for another question today and mentioned that I was so tired of the broth, Jello, etc. She bumped me up to the soft foods too!! I don't care if I EVER see another cup of broth or jello. And I never looked so forward to mashed potatoes as I am now!!! I, too, am determined to stick to the rules. Good luck to you!!! -

That is good to know. I am a big pasta lover, so I think even a bite would be satisfying!! Good luck to you and all the other "Bandits"!! -

I just have a full feeling. Sometimes I feel like I need to burp, but can't. I just back off the liquid and then it is fine in no time. Hopefully someone that has been at the a while longer can give us both some good tips! Good luck! -

Contemplating Surgery!?!?
ssj2519 replied to ssj2519's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I REALLY appreciate the honest feedback. It is what I need to hear!! -
I am considering lapband. Please let me know the pros and cons. I have read some very inspiring stories!! Also, has any one used Dr. Croomes in Tallahassee?

You look great! How committed have you been? I guess what I am trying to ask is what are your weaknesses as well as your strengths? I am going thru the process and would be thrilled at your results. I am just scared of the comittment! I think I can....I think I can!!!
