Hi!! I was banded at Darnall on Fort Hood Jan 28 2011. I could use a few banded friends

Hi, how are you doing? I'm at Fort Hood too and got my band Jan 28

I was banded the 28th and I"m so hungry, I tried mashed and thinned black-eyed peas last night, it was fantastic and it was thin enough to go through a straw which counted it as a full liquid This morning I had to make myself drink a protein shake to keep hunger at bay, I think this may be the only way to hold it off for a few hours. SN: Does anyone have staples? I was surprised to find staples when I took the bandages off after 48 hrs. I've had to put bandaids over them after showering because they rub my clothes and hurt My f/u appt is 9 Feb hopefully they'll come out without a problem.

I don't have anything to add, I'm only 2 days out and I"m hungry too. I can start full liquids tomorrow and that includes the same things you said cottage cheese, soups thin oatmeal/cream of wheat/grits. I tried eating the thin grits this morning made with milk for protein and I could only get about 2 tbsp down, I wasn't hungry for a while after then. I drank water and had a little of a protein shake but right now I'm starving and don't know where to go from here, I'm tempted to go ahead and eat the cottage cheese since I am starting full liquids tomorrow anyway.

Hi all, I'm new :blushing: I have 2 kids, 8 mos and almost 3 and something in me changed after having the kids. I used to be ok being heavier but with all the aches and pains since having them I fear I won't be around to really enjoy them so, I started researching lap-band. I was pretty athletic years ago but I was still heavy, I've been walking and paying lots of attention to my diet and the weight is still creeping on. We're an army family and I have concerns about tricare since I don't have co-morbidities listed on the tricare website, but I do suffer from depression. I'm 29, 5 ft even and 260lbs, per the MetLife chart I should be 113-126, I honestly don't want to EVER be that thin. I just don't think I'm built that way, when I was younger and was that weight, I looked sickly LOL Anywho, this is me
