This conversation has actually been helpful. I am down 40lbs total and just stopped. I have had only 1 fill since my surgery in January. I am still hungry, but definately not eating what i use to before the band. i do feel some restrictions when it comes to certain foods. I guess patience is the main key here and focus on what you have accomplished. I was wondering if it was something i was doing. so i have been super strict with myself, but i dont want to create negative habits. But i guess i got so excited to constantly see movement on the scale, to the numbers not budging at all. Lets keep encouraging each other people, to keep moving forward.

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this? What have they said about you only losing 10lbs? Is there another medical team that you can get care with? Im not very familiar with the slimband

Good for you, I was banded on the 29th. Are you still in the hospital?

Im drinking 0 calorie drinks, tea, I bought some Isopure but not a big fan for sweeteners I use splenda. They do have 0 calorie 0 carb liquid sweetener. I think davinci might be one brand, can be used in coffee or anything. Grits are like cream of wheat. Im not a big fan of grits

Christina we had the same surgery date. Im resting as much as possible.

Hi guys. I was banded on 1/29/14, im home now, no real pain, not really hungry. Im glad it finally happened. Im getting settled at home, been sleeping alot. I have broth, tea, Jello, cream Soups, and popsicles on hand. How is everyone else doing?

Hi guys I live in west suburbs (austin) area. I was banded on 1/29/14. I just got home last night, I would love to make friends. I did 2 week liquid diet. My surgeon was Dr. Lutfi, and I hadmy surgery done at St. Joseph. How is everyone doing?

Hey guys, I recieved a date of January 29th and I start my liquid diet January 15th. This is becoming very real. I find myself becoming very emotional and anxious a little bit.

congrats, i cant wait to have that experience.

Ok that makes sense. How long was the approval process for you?

Hi Bread addict, WLS= weight loss surgery. i havent had any yet. I am still in the beginning stages of meeting with the doctor and so forth. I am still considering which one might be best for me. My job is a sitting job mostly, so i might not have any real concerns when it comes to going back to work. I am glad you are doing so much better.

Hi Bread addict, how are you? I have not had any wls yet, but I am browsing the site and taking in as much information as i can. Congrats on the step forward into a healthier lifestyle for yourself. Wow, you had surgery on friday and back at work today. Good for you. What made you choose the lap band?

Sorry, I am very new to this. What is sliming?

Thanks so much Bandista, definately keep me posted on your progress. And I will do the same.

Nana thank you so much for your response. I definately realize that with most surgeries there are going to be pros and cons. I can definately appreciate all your information. Thanks again, I will friend request you as well.
