I am thrilled with the outcome. Was banded Jan 2nd. I am learning to distinguish between my head hunger and real hunger. I am not hungry yet if I feel I am I walk away from the food to find I'm not hungry at all. I am still gassy and the staples feel tight but overall I am up walking and drinking my 3 oz an hour. This was the best decision I ever made. I will go out dancing with my husbands on June 15, our 23rd anniv. We never went out dancing.

Good luck to you all.

Thanks you all for the kind and assuring words. I went for my preop today ad having a big New years Eve Party tonight, Well my college kids are. I want to hide out in the bedroom because of all the great Snacks they made. I could't cancel because it was planned way before mine was and I need to learn to say no. Sooo I hope everyone has a safe and happy night. I am going to have a shake.< /p>

My band date is January 2nd and I have Dr Kwon also. I am very excited. Doing the dieting during the holidays had a special meaning for me. I figured if I can be good during the biggest food fest of the year then I can do this the right way till the end. My concern is I am an emotional eater but I am on top of it with a therapist to figure out other ways to express feelings instead of stuffing them down with food. I also find the group I go to very helpful. Happy New Year!

I am new to the posts. My date is january 2nd. I am excited to get going. After reading many of the posts I can see I found the right community to help me with my journey. Good Luck everyone and Happy New Year!

Hi everyone. I am so excited to be starting the new year with a bang. My date is January 2nd. The holidays were very hard because I had to lose 5% of my weight but was pleasantly suprised to find I lost much more. The trouble with this is my husband says if I could do this by myself I don't need the surgery. You can see I will have no support at home. I am glad to have found this forum. I hope to be able to help others as much as get support from the groups. Happy New Year everyone and good luck.
