brickgirl 0 Posted December 31, 2007 Hey there. Brickgirl here. Banded on 12/20/07. All went really well. I have been pleasantly surprised by how fast I bounced back. Since the preop diet I have lost 22.5 pounds. Christmas was okay. I felt like eating nothing. Now, I am finding my mind is hungry way before my body. I definitely have to learn to control that. So tonight, New Year's Eve, will be trickier, because I feel better. I have a plan, but still am a little concerned I will nibble. I found this board after the surgery, which I think was a good thing. I don't think reading all the postings that I would have gone through with it. I would encourage people with positive results to post also. I would have hated to be too scared for surgery. Beyond that, I have gotten so much from this site. Love it!!
