Banded 30 days and feel like a failure

azmensan · August 1, 2007

Don't worry! I have only lost 8 pounds since my surgery 3-1/2 months ago. I am not worried. at least I haven't gained back ANY Of the weight i lost from all the liquid diets and stuff, so I am very happy. You should be, too! not gaining it back is a wonderful thing, too! give your body time to adjust and it will allow you to start losing again!

I'm so glad I read your post. I had surgery on July 18th & have been wondering if the band is really there. At first I was so uncomfortable because of the soreness, but as I heal I just feel normal. I haven't really tested the band (I'm still on soft food--my Dr says baby food consistency), but I haven't really felt "full" yet. I have lost about 15 pounds, but I think that was mostly due to the pre-op/immediate post op period.

Hey Dave I could not have said it better . I am starting to miss my diet coke though. Everyone just keep on working on it and the pounds will come off.
