kendall30 1 Posted November 26, 2010 Hi, Is there a Katy meeting? I'm a patient of Dr. Spivak's, too. 4/29/09. I desperately need to talk with fellow banders. I know Dr. Spivak no longer has meetings and I just moved to Katy. I had my band repositioned in June and can not get back into the groove! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losing it in Katy 6 Posted May 31, 2013 How has it been so far? Is it true that you don't feel hungry with the band and that those 20 dime sized bites really do satify you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chazmataz 33 Posted May 31, 2013 So far it's been good, the first few days I was really sore, which is too be expected, but I was back at work the following Tuesday. i did have to take lots of breaks because sitting too long started to hurt and the gas build up was still pretty bad. I'm not hungry at all but I do find my body craving Protein so I have to be sure and get my shakes in and yesterday gave in and had some chicken breast at lunch and paid for it dearly. I was in a lot of pain and think it was just too soon. Thought I could handle it since I ate really slow and chewed very well. But I think I'm still healing and please learn from my mistake. Take your time and listen to you body. It's weird to go throughout the day and not constantly think about food and what I'm going to eat next. Good luck on your journey, this site is great. 1 RwSample reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
