    Hi I'm Maggie in Oklahoma,

    I'm engaged and have 3 children, 2 grown and one in college. I was laid off in April and have spent the time working on things I didn't have time for while working.

    I'm 5 days post-op and very happy with my lack of hunger and weight loss.

    Good Journey to all

    Maggie

    Hi Jacquie,

    I'm in Tulsa. Had my surgery 8/25. I'm very happy I did this.

    I looked at gastric bypass in 2002. Even though I was heavy I was still very healthy. I didn't like the significant risks associated with that surgery. :)

    Recently I started researching the lapband. Seemed like less of a surgery than having my tonsils out. I have been on a lot of diet/ exercise where I would lose 4 to 6 pounds per month but kept getting stopped at 20 to 30 pounds off. The latest stalled out in April this year. :ohmy:

    In the five days since my surgery I have lost 3 1/2 pounds and am not hungry between meals.:wink2:

    For the first time in 20 years, I believe I can be normal weight again.:blush:

    LIfe is good!

    Hi 4cc bandsters,

    It's great to hear of your successes. I am 5 days post-op with a 9.75 cm/4cc band.

    My daughter pre-op wanted me to have one of the bigger bands(10cc or 14cc). I figured the older style worked or so many wouldn't of had it. And if it takes less fills to lose the weight, all the better.

    But her comments made me worry a little. You all have put my mine to rest.

    Go bandsters!

    Hello all August Bandits,

    I hope all are doing well on this recovery period.

    I am on day 4 and had Jello, apple juice, tea and Water on 2nd and 3rd day. Today I had 1 cup cream of wheat and coffee for Breakfast and a cup broth for lunch. I feel good and no desire for more than that. Drinking Water in between.

    I start a college class in a few minutes, but it's online so no worries.

    :w00t: Life is good !

    How's everyone doing???

    Thank you for all the info. I'm getting calm about my decision to do this.

    I have had this weight for 20 years. Gained it with my third child. I have lost 20 to 60 pounds 10 times in that period.

    I am so excited to know that this time is the last time I will have to lose it:tongue:.

    I am going enjoy even more my next 30 years.:thumbup:

    My Date is August 25th. My doctor didn't give me a preop diet. What is your Pre-op Diet?

    I'm just doing the post-op diet to see if I can do it!

    Also setting up my kitchen with food scale, small bowl and plate, measuring spoon and cup to eat the correct portions.

    The hardest things so far are giving up my Advil(i have Gout) and not drinking while eating.

    :huh2:Thanks MaggieGT
