I just had my 5 month check up yesterday and I'm down 50 lbs now. I've gone from a 24 to an 18 pants. My surgery was May 11th and I'm tickled pink. I think I'm pretty close to being in the green zone and very excited. Just wanted to brag about my band!! Your doing great!!! And keep it up!!!

Awesome!!! Congrats!!

I made black bean burgers in leaf lettuce and then veggies.

What is your recipe for your chicken salad with tvp? It sounds yummy!!

What's even better than those is tvp textured veggie Protein. You can get this at the health food stores.

I'm drinking nectar and it is great!!!

I was banded on 5/11/12 and have lost 40

I can't eat bread either. I just found a recipe on pinterest the other day for the cauliflower crust and can't wait to try it.

I had my surgery May 11th and was experiencing the same as you. I have a 10 cc band and on Thursday he put in .3cc. I'm hoping this helps me as well with the feeling of wanting to much all the time.....I havent had that feeling since surgery but the last two weeks have been terrible. I cant have anything mushy until Monday at lunch so it's protein shakes until then. Since surgery it's been 27lbs and 35lbs pre op so I'm happy with the results and still feel this was the best thing that I've done for myself. Tammy

I was banded May 11th as well. pre op I weighed 271 and this morning I weighted 236. I go back to the doc August 9th for my 3 month check up. I decided to do the surgery to help my health, I was tired of the roller coaster ride and what is was doing to me. I prayed for over a year and what do do and I believe God answered my prayer with the band. Tammy

You will need to get benefiber and add that to your water. I also took stool softners.

Keep it up!!! Your doing greaaaat!!!

That is a lot of what it feels like...gas..cramps...constipatation all wrapped up in to one. Like I said it feels better each day. I'm on liquids until lunch on Monday and at lunch I can have mushy. Thanks for your help. If anything go wrong I always worry it's my band....lol I need to work through that.

What do you think it could be?
