Hi! My Name is Shannon I am new here. I was banded on April 30th 2007. I have lost 96lb so far. I have had 2 fills and 1 unfill due to band be to tight.

I go back in 2 weeks to get another fill. I am very nervous because this is the first time I haven't had any resriction and I don't want to gain any weight back. Any advice?:shades_smile:

HI-- I'm an april bander too. Sorry about the un-fill issue.

You know the don't gain weight drill... fresh foods... low fat, low carb, low sugar, control portions.... I could never do it on my own.

My best advice would be try to "be good" till you get that fill... & Protein protein protein.....Good luck! :shades_smile: Don't forget to stay active/exercise too.

Thank you! Every thing in me wants to eat all those foods that I haven't been able to eat but I know that I have come this far and I dont want to blow it now.
