@@mias76 I did get banded. How i feel about it still don't know. I weight 181-182 depending on the day.. Its been almost 2 months. I've been exercising and eating right, eating whatever i want is what got us in trouble in the first place. Taking it one day at a time I guess.. Hope you are doing better than me.

It's been a little over 40 days since surgery, I'm having mixed feelings about the "band". I've had 3 post op appointments and am mow at 6cc. I'm definitely always hungry, the nutritionist is having a blast changing my diet every 2 weeks (evil). I'm stuck at 9lbs lost and haven't progressed since then.. I know it's a slow process but C'MON!! I was working out 6 times a week 1 to 2 times a day and felt great. I mentioned that and the physicians and nutritionist about flipped. They pretty much said stop! Change my exercise routine like they asked to 30 minute walks 3 to 4 times a week... womp:/ couldn't raise my heart rate past 86 BORING.. Went to the doc again yesterday they gave me back my exercise!!!! yey!! Also they want me to eat about 40% fat a day which is hard. They suggested bacon, sausage, etc. (don't like either of those) They took oatmeal from me (heartbroken).. anyway this turned into me just venting.. anyone want to tell me how they are doing?

I'm the complete opposite, all I can think about is food:/ I'm hungry all the time but stay disciplined:) Sweet Tea is my savior!

I'm so happy! I feel 100 times better than a did a few days ago:) Had my doctors visit today and I'm 7lbs down!!!! Eeeeekkkk!!! Have a slight rash around my port but they said it was common due to the adhesive. Get filled in 2 weeks. Not allowed to work out yet:( On a good note.. I've graduated to mushies!!!! Anyway, hope everyone is having a peeeeeerfect day!!! Until, next time:)

I am 5 days post op and I'm experiencing the worst pain of my life!!! Is this normal? Pain is right around my shoulder area!!! It's excruciating:(

Exactly! During pre op I held my nose and chugged, can't do that now:/ tried broth so gross... got nauseous forgot my pills and had a few crackers nausea went away and didnt have complications.. needless to say crackers were the highlight of my day!

3 days post op and I feel miserable! Im hungry all the damn time. Protein shakes are disgusting and I cant keep it down:/ water and coffee is all I can tolerate. Anyone else go through this?

I was sick to my stomach a few hours after surgery:( Threw up about 4 times. Today i did much better but slept most of the day. Pain medicine is doing it's job. However i'm hungry! Don't know if it's mental though:( Anyone else feel hungry right after?

@@BandedSwords yes, however i picked it up late yesterday evening. It was a little to late. I'm so much better now:) @@Weeviegurl it hit me hard! I was terrified of a slip happening:/

Thank you all:) Surgery went well, however all day I was in serious pain, nauseous, and throwing up:/ but thankfully I woke up so much better! On to day 2..

I have surgery tomorrow at 6:15 am!!! Eeeeeekkk i'm excited, nervous, scared, etc. I have so many emotions and thoughts running through my head. I'm terrified I won't be successful, due to the fact that I couldn't even do 1 week of pure Protein shakes:( I can't and won't back down now, but we'll see what happens. Wish me Luck!!

@@2muchfun I don't binge, I eat pretty well actually, problem is kinda like you, overate my meals a bit thinking its ok they are healthy..how much have you lost? How long has it been?

Exactly! I weigh 190lbs and I'm getting banded on Wednesday the 28th, I'm terrified I wont get results due to not being big enough. However it needs to be done.

Wondering if anyone got banded at 190lbs, if so how's it going? Have you lost anything? What time frame.
