I am with humming bird. Im thinking hes married or in a relationship and its hard to get the phone calls, text, and just his time. I know what you are looking for so find someone who is looking for what you want and is able to give it to you... Never settle no matter what the case is!!

I was banded on march 5th and had my first fill on April 5th.... Looks like we are as close to banded buddies as we can get.. LOL you are doing great with weight loss any pointers?? I am only down 27 not saying that's bad but u are doing great!

I was banded on 03/06. I had my first fill of 2 CC's on 4/04. I am just now getting back to where I can eat salads because of not being able to get the lettuce down. I am down total of 43 lbs and quite excited. I go back on 05/02 for another fill and hopefully she will tell me I can increase my exercising. So far just walking is all she wants me to do.

It's been six months since my surgery. I have had two fills. I have lost 109 pounds. I have gained so much more than I thought possible. Sure, I still have the same stressors that comes with living, but being ashamed of my weight is no longer one of them. People tell me I have gotten taller. I'm not so sure about that, but I do stand prouder and more confidently with my head held tall. I have fun with clothing now, even though I do limit number of garments I buy since I don't wear them for very long. My daughters are having issues because I am no longer the fat momma they are familiar with. I told them to get over it and share my joy. I would have the surgery again without hesitation. I know it's not for everyone, but it works for me. I limit carbohydrates and always, always eat protein first. Today is good. Looking forward to tomorrow.

A life time of habits are hard to break! Just because you get the band doesn't mean you wont want those same foods. Hang in there!

Ok I was banded on March 5,2012. I was told by my doctors office no carbs.... so now I am so confused as of what to eat for breakfast.. I have only been doing eggs and I am so burnt out.. what can I eat for breakfast foods? I was told no grits, or oatmeal. They also said its not permanent just until you get to your goal weight... HELP....

Thx guys

I was banded on March 5th, and started my pre-op diet on February 20th at 242lbs. On today, my 31st birthday I am 217lbs!!!!!! -25lbs... yayyyy WHO NEEDS CAKE WHEN UR GETTING UR SEXXIII BACK.... LOL

CONGRATS...... THATS GREAT

<---will be getting some Milk of Magnesia TODAY!

Overall I can say the process is a breeze, except the psych eval. Everything you say they try to make it an eating issue/eating disorder! Just don't question what they say and go along. By the time I left I was told I had a food addiction and it was due to my mother death which I absolutly do not agree with. but any whoo. There are a lot of appointments and back and forth but its going to be worth it. Also start doing some sort of exercise acivity because at every appointment you go to they will be asking!! I also started replacing one meal a day with protein shakes usually breakfast just to get use to the taste. Good luck

Hey I am March 5th as well. Yep 5 sleeps to go and READY!! Good luck.

Ok I start my pre-op diet on Monday February 20th....and I am getting a little nervous!!! Is there any pointers you guys can give me on how to do this without starving??... I DO NOT want to cheat myself out of jumpstarting my metabolisim so I don't want to cheat on this AT ALL... OMG its really hitting me that this is about to happen.....

PS:
To not be heavier than the quarter backs playing in today's super bowl.
