I live in Orlando and was banded by Dr. Kim May 5th. My experience was great. Dr. Kim is wonderful, strict in a great way..I am following his program and have lost 30 pounds since pre-op.

Thanks
All went well! No complications, I was up and around right away. Just had my follow up with the surgeon last week and doing fine.
Im down 30 pounds since pre-op...I am starting week four of the diet, last week was puree and for the next 2 weeks I can have soft foods. I haven't been too hungry..I get pretty bad Migraines so I am trying to eat every 2-3 hours and making sure I meet my Protein and 80-100 ounces of liquid goals to avoid the headaches and the hunger...I will have my fill in 3 weeks. How much Protein are you getting in each day, have you tried the unjury shakes to supplement? Congrats on the weight loss...what a great feeling :tongue: On the road to a new life.

The Isopure premixed Protein Drinks really helped, they were clear, and I just sipped on them in addition to broth and Water during the tough liquid phase after surgery. They seemed to fill me up...though I couldn't be happier once I hit the puree phase...thank god that only lasted a week!!! sugar free popsicles and Jello really helped too!!

Now that I am on soft foods, I find that I am not too hungry, as long as I eat every 2-3 hours and drink a lot. I won't have my first fill until June 15th. The Dr. did say that I will start to get hungrier though and this is the hardest time till the fill. They recommended small pieces of cheese or yogurt to tide me over. Hoping I can hang in there till the 15th!!!
