band newbie, site newbie

[heidirichards1 0]

hi, my name is heidi. i was banded last monday, 2/2/09. i'm trying to learn my way around this site while i learn my way around the band.

i've already managed to overdo it once -- even on all liquids! last night i had clam chowder for dinner (blended) and the first mug tasted so good that i had a second even though i was not hungry. i felt stuffed and uncomfortable all evening, hoping i could not have done any damage to my band placement. :thumbdown:

my surgeon was dr tersigni in coos bay oregon -- a ten-hour drive from my home in western washington. so far, very happy with dr t and his staff (bay bariatrics.)

looking forward to this journey!!!

Hi Heidi,

I'm Jerry and I also had my band surgery on 2/2/09. It's been pretty easy until today, when all of a sudden I was hit with this wave of hunger:( Have you experienced anything like this yet ?

I wish you an good luck on this odyssey and look forward to hearing about you success!

Hello and congratulations and best wishes on your new journey.

I live in PA but I was banded in Jersey in October 08'. This forum is great I use it alot. If I get bored and want to eat or tired and dont want to exercise I come here read whats new and it helps me get motivated. The band was the best decision I made.
