I have totally been eating lol. I did liquids the first week. 2nd week was mashed potatoes with little chicken or any meat protein. Now pretty much eating normal just small portions. Shes about 15 min from the SI Mall. I dont like the Protein Shakes so I avoid them n try to eat my protein. Im feeling good too.. I get my first fill next week. Cant wait..

Jim your zip gave it away. Lol My Dr.'s name is Paul Thodiyil. He has an office in Bay Ridge & does the surgery at Methodists. I was banded on 7/10/13 n feeling pretty awesome. Totally happy I went there. Are u banded?? Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 using LapBandTalk

Last year I was on weight watchers & not banded yet. I found out that I had to consume 42 points (they dont count calories, but each food has a certain point value) I felt that I had to eat sooo much food to reach my daily 42 points. As eating quite "rich" all my life it was even too much for me. I did lose 20lbs In 3 month and I was working out 5 nights a week. But I stopped it bc I couldn't keep up with buying all this food or carring a lunch box with me. I was banded on 7/10/13 ive dropped 20 lbs already since my pre op diet & post op. I feel the band is working for me as im to eat smaller portions more frequently than constantly chewing on WW. Haven been banded I no longer feel im on a diet nor starving or craving sweets, but experiencing something "normal". Hope this helps just my opinion. Side note; my friend has been on weight watchers for 2 yrs and only lost 50 lbs. Shes been at a plateau for 6 months, there's no band adjustments or bariatric dr to assist. WW gets their 45$ a month whether or not u lose or gain weight. Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 using LapBandTalk

U guys r doing awesome. PREOP was a drag for me as it was going through many birthday parties, BBQS and the 4th but I shrank some fat around my liver and I was banded 7/10/13. Im feeling pretty awesome. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 using LapBandTalk

My dr removed them yesterday. Mine were itchy too Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 using LapBandTalk

Mine were removed today. Dr stated I can start using Merderma for scaring.

Adrienne, nope no staples either. kinda weird how they just healed lol.

I was told to rub merderma on the scars to minimize the appearance. i havent bought any yet, I kinda wanted to them the incisions breathe b4 I start rubbing stuff on them. Im badly bruised on pretty much all of the incisions.

I also have 5 incisions. Ill attach a pic. There were no stitches. Sorry if ur grossed out. Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 using LapBandTalk

OMG, so yesterday I went out shopping at Wal-Mart. I picked up a few things I can eat post op. I was out a lot longer than expected n I started to feel hungry. Does ur tummy burn when u get hungry? The hunger pain felt a lot different than pre op. Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 using LapBandTalk
