It has been over a year since I started my journey. I was banded on 3/18/11. I feel great. I have lost 53 pounds since last year and am continuing to lose. I have so much more energy and a much more positive outlook! Thank you to everyone on this board, the staff at Magee Hospital, my family and especially My God for your support!!!

hey, I commented on your post. I wouldn't worry--I dreamed of food too when I was in the liquid phases of the diet. It gets easier and you will learn to trust your body and not over do it with food. I just wanted to message you because I read the other replies and thought they were a little harsh.

Feeling great today. BMI is 36.6--down from 40. And I am down another 2 pounds...hard to believe that.

Where has spring gone? Feeling good today.

Thanks! I feel so much better on full liquids. The entire team at Magee Hospital is wonderful but conservative. I understand that my stomach is healing. The best feeling was stepping on the scale and being 14 lbs down from surgery. It was hard. I feel good about my decision; it is just hard when you are constantly hungry. I have been fulling more full. Thanks for your support!

That's great. Me too! Thanks for adding me as a friend!

Thanks! I am feeling better and better each day. Taking things slow. Have had many feelings but I have lost 10lbs in the last week. So, I am that much closer to my goal!

Thanks!

Thanks so much! I am nervous but know that it will be great!!
