hi, i am in bakersfield and i was banded on june 12 and had my first fill two weeks later. i have lost 25 lbs. but i have not lost any thing in the last week and i want to know if anyone else has done this too? i need a support group soo bad. i am full of questions. what can you guys eat? how many calories are you eating a day? how much protien is in each serving of meat, chicken, fish...etc? i am a mess and my surgeon did not prepare me for this. he told me to consume liquids for the first week, then on to solids, but no real advise on the good, bad and ugly. :help: thanks guys, jasmine

hi, i just had surgery one week ago today. i live in bakersfield, ca and i feel so alone. i don't know anyone who has had this. i had to drive 3 hours to find a surgeon to do it. i am 27 and have lost 9 lbs this week. any advise on what is next? i can't wait to make some new friends and hear some stories. thank you, jasmine jhillbakersfield@aol.com
