Tiger once you've been banded and have the proper restriction after receiving a few fills you won't be hungry like you are now, that's the good thing about the band it helps decrease your hunger, therefore, it helps you stay on track to lose weight. I'm sure you won't have any regrets once you've had it awhile and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Hi Tiger, I was banded a little over 2 years ago and have not regretted it at all. I am still about 25 lbs from goal but I'm not in any hurry to reach it, the band has helped me to maintain my current weight loss for the last year, no losses or gains to speak of for awhile, but I still have no regrets and would do it over again in a heartbeat. Nervousness and anxiety are normal, but you'll get over that once surgery is done and you'll be on your way to a slimmer you. :thumbup:

Shamrocks Friday Weight In. I've been battling a stiff/sore neck for the last 5 or 6 days and in the process I managed to lose 8/10ths of a pound. Also, as of today I'm down another 2 lbs, hope it stays that way til Friday's next weighin. :smile: aJoneen.........................-080 pounds lost!

Better late than never, I haven't posted my weight loss or gain since leaving June 6 on our month long vacation. I'm glad to report as of yesterday I've only gained 1 lb, whoohoo. Two more weeks of vacation and so far so good.

Hi Katie, my husband was banded in March of this year, almost 1 year exactly after my banding last March. I was very excited when he was approved and hoped it would help re-motivate me but I'm still somewhat struggling with the remotivation part, but I'm still losing slowly but surely. What I've found out though is that he does NOT like me telling him that he should not drink with his meals and to tell him he shouldn't be eating so much food. He has had 2 fills since being banded on March 17, 2009 and he is scheduled for fill #3 today. He claims he has no restriction and is not full. He gets defensive when I tell him not to drink with his meals so he will be satisfied, so I'm trying hard not to bring it up now. He knows what he should be doing, I want to support him and stand behind him in decisions but it's hard when I know he's not following the bandster rules. I think you'll just have to find out what triggers your husband after he gets banded. I'm sure everybody is different. On a good note, he has lost 50 lbs since surgery but I know he would have lost more if he would follow the bandster rules. Grrrr!!!!

Another thing you need to make sure of is to get at least 64 oz of water in on a daily basis. I swear by it and no if I don't get my liquids in that also slows my weight loss down. Keep up the good work, you're doing great.

Our GNC store sells them individually or by the box, you might ask them for one individually. They aren't too bad, but I prefer Nectar chocolate truffle protein poweder better.

Unfortunately I gained 1.4 lbs this week. I've lost and gained the same 2 lbs all month. I have a fill scheduled for April 8, so hopefully, that will help me. Obviously, having DH banded last week didn't do me much good, now I just have him lecturing me about what I eat, grrrr! aJoneen........................0 75 pounds LOST!

I also received the card in my packet from the surgeon's office. However, on a recent trip to the buffet at Golden Corral I forgot my card and explained to the girl at the register that I had weight loss surgery and couldn't eat much and asked if they would allow a discounted price without my card and she gladly did. So it doesn't hurt to mention it even though you don't have a card. Also, I don't always use mine either, but hey, I won't pass up a discount if provided. :ohmy:

I've lost 106 lbs since 01-01-08 and was banded on 3-19-08. Having the band has made all the difference in the world. I still have a few more lbs to go but with the band I know that I'll get there and more importantly, this time around I believe that I will be able to keep the weight off. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. Like some of the people above have said, if I would have done my exercising more consistently and eaten the proper foods more frequently I might have lost a little more than I have, but with 106 lbs gone I can't complain. Just do what the doctor tells you to do and you will succeed and remember this is not a race, it took a long time for the weight to come on and it will take time for you to lose it.

Sorry Denise, my husband doesn't want this flavor, so we'll have to pass on it. Thanks for offering though.

I have also tried the Cherry and did not like it. I haven't tried the fuzzy navel, my husband is the one who actually needs it now, he's being banded in a little over a week. Let me check with him to see if he might want that flavor. Have you checked with the store to see if they will let you return the un-opened container, maybe you can exchange it for something else. Just a thought.
