Good luck, 3 mo post op here, lost 54lbs so far. You can do this! Hang in there, it is so worth it. DO REMEMBER, it is all mental! You are still going to have to be disaplined and it is all about the choices you make. Stick to your dense protiens when your dr says you can eat and you'll be fine. You're going to look and feel WONDERFUL!

I hope you do wonderfully! I am 3 mo post op. Surgery was wonderful and so is my banded life. There are some adjustments, the band (if you like to eat) doesn't just stop you from WANTING to eat. I now realize, I liked to eat, didn't have to be hungry to do it, just liked to eat. This is a mental thing and the surgery doesn't help with the mental things that go thru your mind. I wish you luck, a quick recovery and much sucess. I wouldn't change a thing at this point after my surgery, so pleased that I did it. Good luck! PS I have lost 54 pounds as of today YOU CAN DO IT!
