Yes, it does go quite fast. I guess your're the lucky one, because I had to go on two weeks of nothing but Protein shakes. At first, I thought it was going to hard, since my two weeks included Chrsitmas dinner, but it was easy; plus, I was banded on December 28, 2010. Just be good and follow the advice of your doctor's office and everything will be fine. Good luck!

Please check out the Today Show, they ran a story about lap band last Friday, that is better close to your problem.

Get r done; your're ready!!!

I had the same problem, thank God the Pink Stuff. The diareah and gas went away the next week. Then again, once I started eating soft and solid foods, all the plumbing return to normal. Good luck!!!

Great job!!! Keep up the excellent work.

Great job! You may slow down a bit once your're eating solid foods. I lost a lot on my pre diet and post diet Protein drinks, then came my first couple of fills. Once, I had returned back to eating my protein frist and vegs. things have slow down a bit for me. Another, thought is that everyone band is different, your're doing excellent and you should be very proud. So, again good luck!!!!

No regrets at all. Best decision I have ever made about my body and future. I like eating properly and going to the gym. I am more disappointed in our government in Washington, DC. I enjoy eating each meal; and not feeling so bad after each meal, I always overate and stuffed myself I like it was "Thanksgiving Meal" I this was hopeful.

Thanks. I will try to not be a such a "gym rat" and eat properly. Your comments will motivate me and help me in the future. Also, I will again track my daily food intake in Fit Day.Com and only eat Protein and veg.'s. Again, thanks.

Thanks, again. I had a good appointment yesterday at the doctor's office, she told me to continue workout, but cut back on the weight lift activies and add more cardio, that will be hard to do since I am disabled. Hello, Pool exercises. The doctor told me to eat more for Protein for Breakfast (Protein Shake) and 2 meals after that, no snacking! I can't wait to my August doctor's visit; Again, thanks.

Thanks. I am going to try to not be such a gym rat, but, I will still workout very hard. I will add more Protein to my daily eating schedule. My doctor's office told me since, to take in at least 80 grams of protein per day. When I had my last fill, I was newver hungry and never ate, may one (1) meal per day. Now I am eating good exercising and trying to be active. My wife, thinks I am crazy because, I am never happy; she thinks 40 lbs in 5 months is pretty good. I thought, I 'd be down around 65-80 lbs. Anyway, thanks for your help!!!

Thanks. The Dotocor's tell me that I am not eating enough food to lose weight like I want. I am tracking my daily calories on Fit Day.Com. The reason, I think I need a fill is that I am hungry a lot. Also, my body size a dropped a lot since December 2010. I have no pants that fit properly. Okay, I am a big time gym rat too. I must learn to control that. Again, thanks.

I was banded December 28, 2010, had 5 fills and lost 46 lbs by April 1, 2011. My band was way to tight, was not hungry at all, never ate but continued to go to the Gym 5-6 days a week, doing 30 mins. of cardio with free weights, reminded me of college football days. In May 2011, the doctor removed some fill from my band, gained 2 lbs, which the doctor was right because my band was way to tight; yesterday, weighted myself gained another 3 lbs, not happy about that, I am spenting way to many hours in the gym for those results. Plus, I am eating mainly oatmeal,egg whites, protein and salad & protein drinks for a total of 80 grams of protein a day. I return to the doctor's office this Monday, June 27, 2011, I am 100% that I will have a fill, which I am hoping for the correct fill, I still remember when the fill was to tight and I threw up everyday on anything. Personally, I believe with the band being to tight ealier, it gave me misleading weigh in and now its been corrected, now its time for a another fill and "GOYA"(Get Of Your Ass) time in the gym. Well, it's off to the gym and a free Jazz Concert tonight in Overland Park, Kansas.

Congrats! I had the similar dinner out to eat on Mother's Day with my Mom and Grandmom. They were shocked at the amount of food I did not eat. Wow, it's kinda playing with my mine. Keep up the good eating habits and weight lost.
