I was banded may 29th. From pre op diet 5/16 to now down 30 pounds! Only 4 weeks post op on soft foods now. My first fill not til July 12th. No hunger only consume around 600-700 calories a day. Feeling great! No pain no problems eating but being very compliant! Eating slow and small bites. Very satisfied consuming bout 60 grams protein a day. Will carry on! Feel so much better. Have R/A and my arthritis pain is much improved. Good luck to everyone. It's not easy and everyday is a challenge . I have always loved food.

I had my surgery on wed and back to work the next wed. Felt great!!! Lots of support from coworkers ! Was ready to get back to work! And start the journey!!! Down 30 pounds since pre op diet 5 weeks ago only 3 weeks post op. no pain at all!!!!
