Walking down a very romantic lane in Paris - after a Thai / Chinese meal! Very embarrassing- could not reach a garbage bin. I guess people walking nearby thought I had a bit too much to drink :-(

I agree with davighd, I too now stick to Sashimi, Much easier to chew into smaller bites! Unfortunately tempura also goes down like a dream – but have to stay away from deep fried food!

Congratulations to Apples2 and 2FLYGUYS! You both are an inspiration!!! Just a couple of quick questions: What was you exercise routine like and maximum calories for the day? Thanks

Congratulations!!!! 71 Lbs down is incredible! All the Best!

Congratulations to you both on your weight loss! I got banded on 18th Feb. I just got my second fill a week ago -Now 4.5 cc in 10 cc band. Have lost close to 50 pounds - and love my Band!!!

Hi, Thanks to this thread and others with similar heading – I have started having Zero Carb Isopure- 2 scopes gives me 50g of Proteins (Dutch Chocolate) . Love the taste and it gets me the required proteins for the day! Thank you once again!

Way To go! Congratulations!

:thumbup:Hey Congratulations - All the Best!!

Congratulations!!! All the Best!

Congratulations on your weight loss! Would you mind sharing some information on the number fills you have had and the quantity? and some tips on how you achieved your goals!

Not a good Role model - bur I had my 1st drink - I think 3 weeks after the surgery! :-)

I too use Thedailyplate.com. Easy to use and has calorie database of not just the usual foods.

Hi, I feel a lot of us are stuck in the same boat! Congratulations!! These messages really motivate - I have been stuck around the same weight for 6 week! All the best!

Hi, was banded on Feb 18th - Have been hitting a plateau for the last month or so. I have lost about 42 pounds. I had my first fill (2 cc) about a month ago with no change in my weight. :-( All the Best!

Hi just started the Test - on day 2 today! I think I can make it to day 3, waiting for the Soft Protein! Wishing all who are on the PT - Best of Luck!!

Similar to surgeries in the UK , My port is attached to the muscle over my breastbone. Dead center!

Hi It took me about a week, My doctor strongly believes in "no unnecessary medication to be given" and suggested the water I drink will do the trick and it did help in my BM. :-)

WOW! Congratulations!!!! :wub: I had my surgery on 18th Feb, and my weight loss is hovering around the 30 pound mark.

I have just completed about 6 weeks of being banded- have lost 26 pounds. All the Best!

Hi, Down 22 pounds - After 4 weeks just moved to soft solids! Really excited! My doc put in 3cc in the band during the surgery! No real restriction yet - possible mentally I have psyched myself to feel full after 200 ml or 150 grams of food for each meal?

Hi Ashes330, The first part of your update is very similar to mine. I was banned on 18th Feb. Including my five day pre-op liquid diet I lost 20 pounds, after which my weight reduction stopped. After talking to my surgen I learnt I was consuming too few calories and my body went into starvation mode to prevent me from losing further weight. As I moved to puree food and increased my calorie intake (along with walking) I lost another pound. I now consume between 700 to 850 calories per day. Wishing you all the best!

I had a couple of vodka's 19 days post my surgery.(with OJ). I had cleared it with my surgeon. Was kind of down so to cheer me up my wife suggested we have a drink. Felt much better and was a perfect 'pick me up'. The funny part is I was a Bacardi drinker but after one sip - hated it and switched to vodka! Highly recommended if you are feeling low!

Hi I paid $6600. Got it done in Bombay India.
