Hello everyone! I was banded November 4 and so far have lost 40 pounds since I started my preoperative diet. I haven't had any fill yet. I go back to doc on 2nd and we'll. See if I need one then. I have had one stuck episode. White meat chicken is not my friend! That and the fact I was probably eating to fast. I am working hard on slowing down; I definitely don't want to do that again. I am eating 3 meals a day, with an occasional fruit snack. I am so glad that I did this for me! For the first time in years I am below 300 pounds and I feel so much better! Thanks for starting this platform giving us a place to keep in touch!

. I was extremely weak, couldn't even get up. Also, decreased urination and urine really dark and a strong odor. Once you get to this point, you need to go get IV fluids, you can't catch up on your own. Today is day 8, and oh what a difference ! I went to doc for 1 week follow-up. Everything good. Today is 1 month to the day that I went to the seminar, 4 weeks in the Sugar Busters diet and I have lost 24.5 pounds! Have 1 more week of liquids and then I start on the mushy diet. Super Excited!

I was banded on 11/4/13. Today is one week post op and I am feeling better and oh so excited to be on this journey! The only problem that I have had is taking in all the liquids. I fell behind and got dehydrated, had to go and get IV fluids. Feeling much better now and really pushing myself to drink.
