Hello!

Congrats on getting the band....I had mine done the 1st of July....the 1st 2 weeks were the hardest.....I am 25 lbs down now and I forget some times that I have had the band fitted....only some foods hurt when I eat fast....which is something I have slowed down....you have done the right thing....I would advise you to try and do exercise. I am with a personal trainer who is helping me get fitter and tone up as I am losing weight.....I now have a lot more energy and I am not obsessing about food as I am keeping myself busy.

Best of luck ....it does get easier :biggrin:

Sarabay, we have the same band days:thumbup:...I just got mine too. So far, Clear Liquids have been no problem and I'm just starting on "creamy" liquids...I'm down a bit too in weight, but I figure thats mostly Water loss...I'm a bit dehydrated, even though I'm constantly sipping something...Sure hope it gets better though...

Sara...If you can go to the open chat listed at the top of the page. I was banded July 28th, 2010 and have found it to be a great support system. There you can ask people how have gone through it any question you want and they always give great advice back. I have also had private side chats within this site with people who had surgery at the same time as me and that has really helped. You will find in the chat that most guests seem to know each other and talk about many other things, but when i type in that i'm needing help or answers to question..they always come right to my rescue with answers...you just have to say ...."can someone help me with this problem or question I have" anyways best of luck with your journey and stay positive!
