Hi

My name is Julia and I was banded on 3/30:) . Things went well here in G.R. I can say afew days post op I did have second thoughts. But now things are going fine and I am ready to stop drinking and add solids to my diet. My first fill is on 4/16. My beginning wt. was 298, I lost 9 lbs prior to surgery and do not know what I weigh now. I do feel I have lost at least 5 lbs because my clothes are loose. I am walking some but have not started regular exercise again yet.

You are starting out right . I commend you for the exercise part .

Exercise is what helped me get to my goal so quickly.

Hi Julia,

I am new myself. I was banded 3/26/07 and am just barely starting to eat. I have not done the best job of it either. Twice now I have been in alot of pain from eating to fast. Old habits are hard to break I guess. I am improving though, and I imagine it is all part of the learning curve. I started out at 291 and am down to 276, so even the pain is worth it. Good luck to you and I hope we both have success with our new tools in place. Shawna

Goal weight 150
