I only told the 3 people at work that would see me during lunch. The rest of the employees...about 20 on my shift don't need to know anything. I bought a couple small soup thermos jugs and put my soup in there hot. I think the broth stages were the worst part about this and now that I am eating normal food I feel so much better.

I started my preop diet at 268 and today I am 245. I am definitely eating less and feeling satisfied. I am learning to slow down while I eat or it backs up and feels uncomfortable. I wish the weight would come off faster but maybe after a fill that will change.

I don't know what they mean by green zone but I haven't got any saline in the band and I do definitely feel some restriction. Time well tell if I continue to lose weight.

For me it feels kinda like when you are swallowing a large pill and it doesn't quite go all the way down. Not in stomach so much as in your chest. After I feel that I stop eating and 10 minutes later I am completely satisfied. I am a newbie but that's what I have noticed.

The first week was hard but I only took 1 day off work. I was nauseated and dizzy for the first 3 days. After that it's been fine. I have a fill scheduled for Apr. 13th, Stick with it this is when a lot of people get sick of jumping through hoops.

Was wondering if anyone on here was banded in Fridley Mn and had it done around the same time as me. So far my progress has been good but it would be nice to compare notes, thanks

Sometimes the meds give the opposite effect...congrats on your surgery. I am 6 days post op and every day is a little better.

I too was banded on Thursday. I have been gurgling a lot. I don't know if it's hunger Or gas either. We can follow each other if you want. My biggest problem has been four bouts of of nausea that just came out of nowhere and went away pretty fast. Not sure if it's drinking Protein shakes too fast or walking too much. 1000 situps is exactly what it feels like. Was 270 when I started this process and today I am 249 so either I am losing weight or withering away not sure which yet

Had my band put on Thursday...can not keep anything down. No idea what pbing is. Tell me it's gonna get better
