I was banded July 29th, 2005. I am down another pound. (279lbs.)Yeah. I will get my first fill September 14th! I can eat about anythin...within reason and don't (can't) eat no where near what I used to consume. I try to exercise every morning...walking, Richard Simmon's videos and the tread mill. I am doing well...no Diabetes meds now, no High BP meds, only my optisource Vitamins and a Vitamin C daily & LOTS of H2O!

"Band" Cuffed 7/25/05.

Started at 238 - now down to 200 and my goal is 145. I am not going to get a fill at all if I can help it (my choice and what I feel is right for me). My doc saw me yesterday and told me to come back in 6 months that I was doing fine.

With The Band.....I see you were banded in Maumee Ohio. I have relatives all over NW Ohio. (North Baltimore, Findlay & Rudolph and other small towns in that general vicinity)! I have even swam in the Maumee river and fished it several times as a kid!

I'm down about 23 pounds! Had one teeny fill but I'm guessing it's not doing anything for me....I'm feeling relatively good - but have to have my gallbladder out tomorrow..........NOT looking forward to that! But maybe that'll help me lose another pound or two?!?!? Haha.

July 6th for me. I have lost 20 lbs. I have had one fill and I think I need a little bit more. I am pleased with the 20 lbs. I looked at my records and it took me 11 months to lose 20 lbs at Weigh Watchers. I stayed another year just to maintain that.

I Was Banded On July 22, I Have Lost 19lbs. Just Got My 2nd Fill A Couple Of Days Ago, I Can Definately Tell A Difference. The First Fill I Could Hardly Tell Anything I Could Still Eat Almost Anything. Now I Get Full On A Small Amount. It Is So Hard Not To Fill Your Plate The Same Old Way. I Guess That Is Something To Work On, My Eyes Being Bigger Than My Stomach. Jamie

I was banded on July 22 and am down 34 lbs. I have had one fill at 6 weeks. I think I may need more as I still can eat more than I feel I should. Overall I am very pleased.

After seeing all of those astronomical numbers I feel embarrassed admitting this but I was banded on 7/26 and I'm only down 4.5 lbs! I was down 9 at one point, but once I started solids and had no restriction I got into a last hurrah mindset and gained a few back. I had my first fill 3 days ago and I'm feeling ready to get this weight off!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
