I was banded on 7/26/13. I have lost about 13-14 pounds total (pre-op and post op). About 6 lbs since surgery day. I am a low bmi bandster. I started my journey with a 32 BMI.

Everything is going good. Port area is still real tender. I am having a hard time getting all my Protein in. I needs to start getting my shakes in properly!

But other than that...things are going good!

What about you?

Hi! I was banded 6/28/13. It's been 7 weeks and I have lost a total of 24 pounds (preop and postop). I was 206 and now I'm at 182. Yeah! Feeling great! I did go through a plateau four weeks in, but took Mis73's advice, started counting calories, and in two weeks, I lost 4 pounds.

I was banded July 25. Started at 264 down to 240 now. No fills yet. Just starting solid food today. Wish I had lost more but they say many gain weight during this phase so I guess I should be happy with my results.

Second fill on Saturday. I now have 7cc in my 14cc band (sorry mistyped 12cc band on earlier post) The only time I feel restriction is first thing in the morning. My doc has said it may take another couple of fills to get me in the green. I go back in three weeks for my next fill. Until then I am still in bandster hell. Have lost a total of 52 pounds now with no restriction. I just keep looking to the future. If I can lose this much with no restriction I look forward to seeing what I can do when I finally hit the green zone!!! Good luck to everyone.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
