Thank you! I 'm sure you will do great! I was a little worried to start solid foods. I am still learning what I can and cannot eat. Red meat does not go down well at all. Chicken is fine. And even though I love it, bread is no longer an option. LOL. I am so happy with my choice to have the surgery.

Hello! My name is Tamara. I was banded 2/21/12 and have lost a total of 63 lbs! I am down 3 pant sizes! I have 5.6cc in my band. I am just wondering how everyone else is doing? I have had a few plateaus here and there. I was stuck between 55-58 lbs for about a month and a 1/2! That was frustrating. But i started dropping again recently. I'm hoping it keeps going! Please share your stories

Hello! I was banded 2/21. I no longer have the gas pains, but my tummy rumbles all the time! In the 1st week I lost 11 lbs! Total to date, I have lost 21. So it slowed down a lil bit. But I am so happy with it! I had a very rough time with the liquid only diet. My husband had to wake me up 4 days in a row for work just because I didn't have the energy, but since I started eating, it has gotten much better. I go in for my first fill on the 30th this month. How was the 1st fill for anyone else??

Hello everyone! My name is Tamara. I am 23 and have also struggled with weight my entire life. I also have PCOS. I was banded Feb 21st. I have lost 15 lbs. I am feeling a little discouraged because I haven't lost any weight in the last 4 days. But I am trying to stay positive. I live in California, and in my town the weather is so unpredictable, and it has been way too windy to go walking. So I need to find some other exercise to do. But my doctor advised to stick to walking for the 1st month. I look forward to checking this forum and seeing how everyone is doing!

I have done those, as well as oatmeal, and eggs. Hard boiled and scrambled. I had a hard time finding the right Protein drink for me, and am still struggling. So my doctor okay'ed the eggs to add some more protein.

Hello. I am new here. I just had my surgery on feb 21st. I am feeling great. I wasn't doing too well with the 2 week liquid diet. My doctor gave the ok to start soft foods, so I did about 4 days ago. In the last 3 days, I haven't lost any weight, and I am getting discouraged! Any similar stories?
