Hey there. My weight loss has been extemely slow. Its very true that you really have to work the band..it isnt a miracle. I find that there is very little info on post op diet for the long term part of this. I have searched the internet for that and cant seem to find much. So for me anyway I think I still need to follow some type of diet that I am in the process of looking into. Maybe weight watchers or Jenny craig. The high Protein thing doesnt seem to be working for me. The only hard thing that I have encountered is eating chicken. I puke my guts out every time I eat it so I just stopped eating it at least for now. I was in your neck of the woods over the weekend..I was down in Vineland. Its nice down there!!!! Talk soon

Hello jersey peeps!! I have been banded since Feb. 18. Just had my first fill yesterday whew what an experience.. I had my surgery done in vineland by Dr. Attia. Wonderful doctor. Was going to go to Voorhees where half of my office went for their gastric bypass but changed my mind. My weight loss is very slow too. I just have to get back in the gym and walk, walk, walk. Since he said no lifting yet.. Plus, he has me back on liquid diet cause of the fill.. Well, hope everyone has a great day..
