Yay stacy16,

I know the broth sucks. Try to get in the Protein, it helps promote healing. I am 13 days post op and feel flawless. I am now eating pureed foods and lovin' them. You'll get here quick enough.

Have not posted in a long time, but maybe I will now, My partner and I was banded Nov. 05. I have lost about 70 lbs. and she has lost about 65. WE are slow but we are good with that. People are just now really to notice the weight that I have lost. Good luck and hope to keep in contact with you, Have any ? just ring

Welcome. You are lucky to be going through this with someone. I have told the world and all they do is ask how me daily: "How much have you lost?"

You guys will be dearly loved (and supported) in the rants section.

Anyone attempts to mess with you, we'll chew 'em up and spit 'em out like a chew toy! Lots of straight supporters over there.

Congrats Bandstar with the successful surgery (I know its much past by now)...and its great that you already lost 33 lbs (undoubtedly more by now!!!). Hopefully you will be one of those people who lose fast. I on the other hand seem to be losing slower than I would like (though my doctor says I am doing well). I have lost about 35lbs total in 4 months and just got another fill putting me at 8cc. Yea...I know...everyone is different. Thats what I keep telling myself. Enough of this rant. My intention was just to congratulate you on everything so far Bandstar!

Thanks Gaychris72. I am still at a 33lb loss for I now feel hardly any restriction. I am not sure when I go in for a fill, but now this is the real hard part. I am hungry and can pretty much get anything down. I think my doc will fill soon enough. I just don't want to gain anything before I get filled. I, personally, think a slow weight loss is SO much better. Better for overall health, better for keeping it off and better to avoid any saggy skin. So keep it up.

Straight, liberal, Catholic supporter of gay marriage/lifestyle here. Wishing you guys/girls much success. This is the most supportive bunch of nuts in the tree.

Love those straight, liberal, catholic, supporter of gay marriage/ lifestyle. Wish there was more like you Carlene, not everone understands.

I am a slow loser, and like it that way, I have 6cc last fill was in July and just the last two month's I have lost about 10 lbs.

Hi All:

Just sitting here thinking about tomorrow - when I am getting banded!!!! :clap2:

I've lost 12 pounds during pre-op liquids. I have a great surgeon and I'm looking forward to much success. I'm really glad to have found this thread and will keep checking in on everyone!

My partner is getting bypass in a few weeks - I just can't convince him to be banded - the idea of the port freaks him out.

But the important thing is being pro-active and on the road to health!!!

Best of luck to everyone!!!!

Good luck Benbax, I know you will love your band. WE love ours. We would do it all over again.

I second Benbax. We do all love ours. Tell your partner I was SO afraid of the port, but was more afraid of having my insides re-arranged. Now, I don't even feel the port. Welcome to this thread. Let us know as soon as you can how everything went. Yay to you.

Well if you can't change his mind, I think it will be interesting to have the two different types in the same household. He will probably lose quicker yet in about a few months time you'll catch up and probably be healthier cause you lost yours slower. He also may end up with gall bladder and hair loss issues.

Good luck tomorrow.. I'm excited for you!
