Hi - just found everyone today and know I am ready for some discussion with fellow lapbanders! I was banded May 1st in Mexico! I am on on finely chopped foods, this week moving up to meats so I'm feeling great!

The weight is not coming off as quickly as I thought it would so I tend to get discouraged even though I know I shouldn't be! Trying to stay away from the scale right now....

Love to talk to anyone who'd like to chat!

Welcome, and congratulations on your banding. It's still early days so don't be discouraged. Things really tend to go better after the first fill.

Congrats on your banding....You have only been banded for three weeks and two days...you still have lots of swelling on inside...My doctor said not to worry about weight loss the first month...you are still healing...The weight will start to come off....just relax and enjoy your band....
