Hello from San Andreas

BridgetM. · June 10, 2006

HI all Im new to this site, I was banded May 25th and I am from San Andreas, Cali. Im a bit frustrated right now as I am 2 weeks post op and have gained weight back once I started eating solid foods and its Aunt Flo is coming. I know this is typical I guess but Im totally bummed about it. Here I had the surgery and BAM..nuttin...even worse Im more than what I was pre-op! Any advice is welcomed. Would LOVE if anyone was actually close to me!

Well did you talk to the Doc about what and when to eat, I was banded April 17.06 and down currently 70lbs. I was on liquids for three weeks after band and then solids as tolerated. Its the portions that I eat and what I dont eat that help me loose the weight.

Also welcome, it good to have someone new

Thank you! Wow congrats to you! Awesome job. Yes I did talk to the doc about what to eat etc. and Im doing it..the portions still arent much, about 1-2 cups unrestricted. Im joining the gym next week, hopefully that will help. Im not done fighting yet, just frustrated! Bridget
