Thank you very much for posting this.As a newly banded person I strugle with the constant glares from my partner who says honey.. did you over eat or have you eaten to much when ever I touch my stomach .. it could be because i have an itch or i am just getting to know this foregin object in my stomach or perhaps i have eaten to much or maybe not enough. I havent had a fill yet but do have some restriction and what i have and am learning is that not matter what I eat if it does not fill me up I will be eating again in a half hour anyway so I am going to eat good foods that stick with me for hours that might be higher in calories but in the end its better because I eat less overall during the day because I am fuller longer. This WLS journey is a peronal one and one that is expensive and dramatic and none of us start out to fail. Thank you to the supportive food lovers in my life but back off ... I didnt put it on in 1 day and it wont come off in 1 day. I think me and my honey maybe having a talk to day lol.. thanks again for the post I hope others read your wise well written words.

Hey.. I have been looking for a support group in DFW.. I live in Arlington and was banded on 3/21 today is my 1 month surgervesary whoo hoo and im 11 pounds down since surgery. Please send me the details, my best friend was banded one week before me 3/14 and I am sure she would like to join as well. Thanks for taking the lead cant wait to meet you all.

The first 2 weeks were hard for me to get in and out of bed. I would recommed you using a step stool if you have a high bed like mine and dont push yourself to much. Its important for you to get in tune with your body and take it slow. Your body will tell you when your ready. Today is my 1 month surgerversary and im still sore but it has gotten a lot better. Good luck!

thanks shapphire, your response makes me feel better. Congradulations on your goal you look amazing.I love my band already because its the first thing i have ever done that is really for me.

Hello Everyone... I am so excited to post here and love the site. I was banded 3/23 . My starting weight was 243 and this mroning i weiged in at 231 so a total loss of 12 pounds YAY .. I did not have a pre op diet and was cleared to move to mushies yesterday YAY again. My questions is .. is it normal to feel hungry this soon after being banded? I dont have any fill and my first post op appointment is 4/5 and i am SCARED of gaining weight and overeating but i do feel hungry and feel like i have little restriction now that the swelling is going down. Hope you guys can help me out I cant wait to hear from you.
