THW

Ladies, This group seems quite but I would really like to talk to others about their band journey. I got banded in Nov 2013. I have had two fills and I now exercising. I do Zumbia twice a week and walk on my treadmill twice a week. Hopefully someone will respond THW

I am not sure this group is active but I am a curly girl and I would love to share tips about natural hair and the band

Hi Everyone, I got banded Nov 12 2013. My doctor gave me a different approach on eating. I am on low carb diet. I could eat solid foods about a week after surgery. I have had one fill 2 cc and I scheduled to go back next week. I notice that I do eat less but not the half a cup that my band should allow. The low carb diet is helping and I recently added some exercise to routine. I walk 2 miles on sat and sun. I walk up the stairs at work 4 flights it will grow to 6 flights and have been looking for a Zumba class. Since I started this journey I have lost 40 pounds but since my surgey I have lost just 22 pounds. I am happy with my progress. However I do have one question, I know that we are not suppose to drink during meals but what about Snacks?

What about Snacks, I wait to drink after I eat a meal but I wondering about snacking. I am a newbie just got banded on Nov 12

I just found out my surgery date Nov 14. I was just told I needed to go on a high Protein no carb diet starting next week. I need to lose 5 to 10 pounds. I am worried about being able to do that in the time have Overall I am excited about the surgery
