  1. Another cry baby here:) Lap band removed 11/2015, Sleeved Sept 8,2016! I’ve lost maybe 1 pound or 2, I’m bringing to think-this sleeve will not be a rapid weight loss for folks like me who had a band for (2006-15!!), so WOW 9 years. Obviously my weightless was low, at 45 lbs, in the begining . Then once removed back to my weight of 250. Do you Ex-banders have as much success as the newbies? Thanks all! I’ve been creeping here for months, glad I finally signed in.

      No THANK YOU! I really appreciate the support. I feel like I can eat EAT ANYTHING-which is a real surprise? I was expecting Gastric bypass symptoms I guess. But for example I ate an entire package of oatmeal this morning with no issues. Back with a well adjusted lapBand I usually had to stop at about 2/3 of a cooked package. Any thoughts?

      Yup, I felt the same way and so I asked about it. With liquids and even pureed food, we won't feel restriction but with solid foods, it's a whole different ball game.

      As @Sai187 said - you won't feel restriction yet. It's important to measure and stick to your recommended portion sizes. I'd stay away from oatmeal too - too many carbs! Any loss should be celebrated though!!!
