Congrats on ur success and for having the band on my birthday lol.... Good Luck... :thumbup:

The only way this would be the "lazy" way, is if u tried nothing else... we all have tried everything under the sun, personally - ive done it all, bought it all, lost it all and gained it all back, and thensome. Good luck on ur upcoming surgery - maybe you can have your family come to this website to see how positive it is and im sure t hey will come around. In the mean time - BAN the Cheesecake from ur house... Good Luck!!!!!!

I was banded 2 weeks ago, and have lost 12 lbs... 1st week liquids/2nd week mushies/Dr office put me on reg food, within reason going forward... I gained 3 lbs,:confused:, i wonder if its bc im actually putting food into my system after being on pretty much nothing for the past 2 weeks. I go for my 1st fill on 5/14, what can I do NOW to make sure I dont gain more weight... Protein, fiber, i cut off carbs after the mushie week , any other tips or help w. what I cna eat 2 make sure i do not gain more weight b4 my 1st fill... Kinda a downer.

I wonder where you guys are or which insurance you carry, I am seeing a lot of people mention that they had to lose weight before surgery, my Dr. didnt require me to lose anything, nor was I on a special diet b4 the surgery... I guess to each his own (dr.'s). Good Luck and much success.
