[Missy05.29.12 13]

I was banded on May 29th...I just wanted to check in with others that was banded the same day (or close to) to see how things are going.

What are you Eating? How are you Feeling? You having any Issues? What are your Successes?

Or anything else you might want to share that could make this experience more successful...

Thanks in advance:-)

Hi I was banded on the 30th may 2012 and feel a lot better than I thought I would. Looking forward to purée food this week.

I was banded 5/31 ... I am now eating low-fat cottage cheese, canned chicken/tuna with light mayo & as of last night, can tolerate one stick of string cheese. I started preop at 327, currently 310. My incisions itch sooo bad from healing, & I have been able to sleep on my stomach for the last few nights (thank gosh!) Looking forward to starting to exercise soon

Only hard part I am dealing with is the not drinking before during or after eating. Had scrambled eggs this morning & I tried so hard not to drink during... but ended up drinking 10min after.

I agree the not drinking thing is tough.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Today I had tilapia for dinner. Yummy!

I should also say that I am out of town for about a week away from my scale...I am hoping when I get home the number is down by at least 3 pounds. I am nervous because I am now eating mushy and soft foods...but I a started walking 3 miles today and hope to do it every day we are here. Nothing lithe walking next to the lake.

I was banded May 11,2011. I have lost 77lbs so far. I can eat just about anything just in moderation. bread is hard so I stay away from it. I had a fill about 2months ago and was to tight so the Dr. loosened it last month. I am loving this band and enjoying my life. My sister had it done the same day as me and she has lost 86lbs. She looks amazing. She was about 50lbs smaller than me to begin with so she is smaller than me know. We both have had an amazing journey and look forward to whats to come. I am 232lbs and she is 180lbs.
