I was banded on 6-23, i am still just drinking lots of water and i takes me almost an hour to finish my protine drink. but i still have not really felt hungry, I am cooking for everyone but not my self- this past week i lost 9 lbs. this is why we did it!!! good luck to all of you!

congrats!!! that is so great!!! have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!:tt1:

wow- this is so new way of thinking. Had staples out monday healed well- really can only see large spot still the small one have healed nice. No pain found out dr did put band in with a small fill to start me off. i have only been drinking the shakes (yuck) i have been trying to find one that i can stand but no luck yet. i must have 4 different one in the house now. if anyone has a fav let me know. I was weighed in and have lost 5lbs just the past week I'll take it. next dr visit is the 13 and i hope i get the ok to move to puree food.

congrats!!!keep up the great work!!

Well I guess the hard part is about to start- I was banded on the 23rd of june- my whole exprince was great. from the first visit to the check out of the hospital. I started at 304 and on surgery day i was 287 and when i went on monday to have the staples removed i was 283- a total loss of 21 pounds so far. I'll take it!!! I finaaly get to drink more than water now too!!! I have started my protine shakes this morning- boy they are hard to get down- what an after taste. i go back in two weeks for a meeting with the dietian and a weigh in so i hope that things keep going the right way. I have had nopain really and have been walking every where. i even went to the mall the day after and walked it twice. later
