I'm in the high desert. Do you have a get together once a month?

Anyone from the high desert been or getting banded soon?

I can't believe it - I've never lost 50 pounds in my life - usually stop at 40 pounds on all prior diets. I was so happy to see this on the scale this morning. 3 1/2 months out of surgery - I'm thrilled with these results so far. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF US ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!

Congrats, good to hear I'm getting ready for my banding and it's great to see such a wonderful success story keep up the good work.

Big day is coming up and I feel unprepared. Not pre-op diet, just 1200 calorie as usual. Post op I am doing semi clear, soft, firm then small portioned Protein and and veg.

Funny thing is, no one has told how often I should eat after banding.

Anyway, 44 year old dude from So Cal, hoping to get back down to my academy weight (180) from 318.

Take care,

thanks

Bob
