    Nervous and new.

    Hi Meredith. I have recently been banded. I started my process in November with seminars and a ton of doctor appointments. I had my surgery on March 18th. I am happy I chose this bariatric surgery over the others. I am still getting used to a lot of things right now. It is a slower process, but I think it is going to much more worth it in the long run. I am hoping not to have too baggy of skin. =0)

    Hello - I am new

    No, I am not really measuring meats. And... I am not eating a ton of protein. Maybe that is my problem. On days I don't feel so great, I try to have canned soup. Some days my stomach feels like it is going to explode from all the gas!!! Yikes!

    happy but miserable

    Zabrim, Since you were banded near the same time I was, do you feel completely healed and no pain? Or do you still have some pain?

    Hi there. I am brand new to this site. I was banded March 18th and to date I am still at 12 lbs since prior to surgery. I had hoped to lose quite a bit the first couple of weeks (due to liquid diet and such). I have to say I too am disappointed to have only lost 12 lbs in 3+ weeks. My BIGGEST problem is that I weigh myself 2-3 times a day. It is ridiculous! I need to have my husband hide the scales, but it is like an addiction. I get so discouraged if I jump on and I haven't lost any - or worse!!! I gained a pound!
  7. Hello- Well, I am just at about 3 weeks post-op. I had my post appointment just to make sure everything is still in place last week. I had lost 11 pounds (I honestly had hoped for more). I have been doing some light exercising on our Wii fit, but haven't dropped anymore weight. I am a tad frustrated and am unsure what I am doing wrong. I eat about as much as my 5 year old daughter (on a salad plate) at meals . Will the weight come off more after I get my first fill in a few weeks? I am hoping for 2-3 lbs a week. Is that to unrealistic? My port area and my left side where my ribs are seem to be still sore. I am not sure how long this will last. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. :eek:
