Stay positive, Stay motivated I had my surgery in Feb 2005 no Fill until May, no problem with food. I feel like I can eat anything and I do, and still continue to lose 5 to 10 pounds per month. I have always felt as thow there is no restriction UNTIL I start to revert back to my old ways and my band quickly reminds me I'm Still here

Trish I recently had this conversation with a cousin and as I was explaining the surgery to a friend, my cousin who is much bigger than I had the nerve to tell me that I was taking the easy way out, and I had to explain to him that no this is not only easy, but maybe the hardest thing that I had attempted. As we Stood there at a wedding reception, his plate over filled with everything I told him don't you think for one minute that I don't want a plate like the one you are holding after only 5 day post op that is no longer an option for me and that what was easy was going on one diet after another and failing before the diet get started good and restarting again next week just to fall back into that victious cycle again and again... ect so whats easy is you standing there stuffing your face what's hard is me not.

O.k ladies I get the message that is why I was not herd from yesterday I got a lot of rest and prepaired a nice purred meal of chicken and green beans. I guess Kathy said best when she talked about less calories so I now understand and will take it easy.

Hello again everyone well today I guess my superman mentality got the best of me. I'm still on the clear liquid diet but I did add carnation instant breakfast. I woke up at 6:30 am went to the bank and drug store and was really sweating like someone had doused me with water and it was cold and snowing here today. Then I helped a relative fix a headlight on his car later on in the day still sweating purfusely and going back and forth up and down the stairs made me feel really weak I told my wife and she recommended that I get somewhere and be still and I'v been alright scence I remembered I hade surgery two days ago

Hello everyone well I was banded yesterday(2/7/05) everything went well and I am home now had my first post op meal at home and its o.k I had 4oz chicken broth and 3.5oz of gello this is my clear liquid diet portion I'm suppose to do for one to three days I will drink water later.
