i feel the same i was banded 2 weeks ago...stuck to the liquid diet religiously for the first week and lost 9pounds. this week i have started having mushy foods and some slighter solid foods, but just taking my time to chew them. im finidng that even without having my fill im less hungry and can eat no where near the amount as before BUT because i have simply gone from liquid diet to eating some foods (although they are healthy) im stuck at the same weight now which is a bit upsetting. I guess the real weight loss wont come until i have the fills and it really limits my intake, im just getting frustrated because until my first fill in 2 weeks time i feel likle im fighting hunger coz i dont want to put weight back on! Did anyone else feel like this? from what ive read until you get the fills just right you have to be patient for the 'proper' weight loss...if thats true then ill wait..but just want to know thats what happened with others?

i had my band fitted yesterday..am at home now resting. how many days did u find the pain/uncomfortable feeling lasted for? Was anyone hungry on the liquid diet???

thanks golden, well im booked in now..operation is on wednesday! I cant wait! im doing this for me, i know its right, i want to live now and not waste any more time hiding away. Ive tried so hard to loose weight and dont think of this as the easy way out at all because i know how much i have to put into it and this is for me. I dont care what anyone else thinks because they dont know my body and the struggles ive had with it! So stuff them! LOL This is what makes us happy! ! :thumbup: I will let you know how it all goes later on in the week and then im on to the liquid diet...hope im going to be ok on that for 2 weeks...coz im worried ill be getting hungry! LOL. Golden and MommyDog..you must write on when u have ur bands dones and let me know how its all going etc! This site is awesome, helped me soo much and is making me feel so good knowing other peoples expereinces, tips and successes.

HI! i wanted to but in too..coz i have a low bmi of 33 and im signed up for my band...getting fitted on WEDNESDAY! ah! im soo excited...bit nervous too! Im female, 21 years old and need to loose 50 pounds to be at my good weight.. im english and living in dubai- where i will get the band done! Just wanted to say hello, its soo nice to read other bandsters stories and to see thats its worked for you, especially with low bmi's too. is there anyone out there nearer to my age? Ive struggled with my weight ever since i can remember, i always excercised and dieted but nothing worked and every year i seem to get heavier and heavier..i dont want to have to wait until im in my 30s or 40s before getting this doen because i want to start living now. I think im making the right decision thugh i know alot of people will look down on me for getting this done, especially saying im too young.. looking forward to hearing feedback!

wow well done with all your weight loss and effort...sounds fantastic. I really cant wait to get it done now. feel like my life is finally going to begin as its been on a pause for a long time now!! and these comments have made me feel soo much more confident about getting it done. will let u know when im booked in for :w00t: keep up the good work everyone x

thanks sooo much for getting back to me. i dont want a quick fix at all, im certainyl going to put in the effort just wanted to know how others have felt on it :w00t: what happens if u eat too much on it, does it make u sick..or just literally dont want to eat too much because your soo full? sorry probably sound like really silly questions but im so new to this i just think its better asking people who have had it done rather than the doctors because i want to know the TRUTH lol

Hi, Im just about to sign up to get the lap band done. I have struggled with my weight pretty much all my life and am fed up, i dont want to go through my twenties feeling like this- i want to live my life!! Anyway I want to know from people who have had it done, how successful was it for you? Are you really full up..or are you still hungry when you have it done? Does it stop you from feeling sooo hungry? I guess im still a bit skeptic! Would love to have some feedback ! Thanks...also Im in Dubai so would like to know if anyone has had this done through Roger Batrouni??? :tongue_smilie:
