  1. 25 pounds in 5 weeks sounds amazing to me I was banded on 8/26 by True Results in Austin and was informed that they also have a support group that meets once a week in the evenings. I really hope you find he support you seek. I am vey happy to have found this app just a little while ago Good luck!
  2. I had my band put in on 8/26 and yes... There is a feeling. Lol! I was very surprised when I felt it. I was told not to eat more than a dice full at a time. Chew for 30 seconds, then wait a minute before you eat more. Stop as soon as you aren't hungry which is very soon after you start. Well, there was no way I could go by those rules after being on liquids for a week. So I did well the first bite. Then the second spoonful got a little bigger... and faster... then the third I learned my lesson. I felt almost like a knot in my chest and I was lucky it didn't come back up after I quickly drank water. Then I felt comfort so I assumed it slipped down. It has happened a few times since then so I am reminded to slow down and chew. And chew some more.
  3. I was banded on Aug 26th. Let me assure you, everything goes away and all will be back to feeling normal again even though you may not feel so confident about that. Very happy to have found this app
  4. I am almost 2 weeks out and was told by my physician that after the first week, I could eat anything that can be mashed through a fork. This includes foods like scrambled eggs, ground beef, ground turkey, even cold cuts. There are many options if you have been given similar guidelines.
