i was excited knowing i was having surgery, then when i went to the dietian classes. an was told what to eat.i lost 27lbs. boy was i excited, then i lost another 13lbs before surgery i was on cloud nine.i had what you would call a beer belly.an it went down before surgery. i stayed on the chicken broth. jello, low carb. then a light bulb went off in my head.i had to maintain the weight loss through the holidays, of 08- had surgery in january 09.i lost 19lbs the first two weeks. post-op then the doctor says don,t expect to lose anymore weight. until i got my 4th fill. then i saw progress.an its still going on slow. but i am happy.

since surgery i was taken off high chlosteral meds(hope i spell it right)an type2 diabetes meds. but still taking high blood pressure meds.i see my primary care docotr every six months for a check up.

hi i was banded on 1/13/09 i am down 91lbs (40lbs pre-op).things are going great. lost 14lbs in june, so the doctor skip the july fill. because of the weight i lost. went in august for a fill gained 2lbs.it was my birthday so i ate ice cream&cake. my excuse.got a 1/2cc fill i got restriction but the scale haven,t moved yet.we will see i go for another fill at the end of september. but overall things are going good.hope everyone is still going strong.

i am loving twoterville, but would love to be in onederland.

i was the same way when i started out. i am glad i was not hungry after surgery. the doctor had me on ensure. 1 ounce every three hours.4 times a day an it works. i lost 19lbs two weeks post-op.make sure you are taking your vitamins&calcium.

i have the 4cc band. i am on my 7th fill.my doctor only gives small fills only1/2cc,s at a time. last month i did not get a fill.because between june-july i lost 14lbs.this monday i went in he only gave me a quarter of a fill. i was losing restriction. because i had gained 2lbs.from last month.

try the EAS protien bars. they are good. they are low carb, but like 15 or 17 grams of protien. they are expensive.

:laugh::thumbdown:today i went for my 7th fill.my appointment was at 11:40 this morning.he put in 1/2cc. i gained 2lbs.their is no excuse, but i gave one anyway. which was my birthday was on the 17th so i went out to dinner an i ate me some eggplant parmesan.an my birthday cake with icecream.i knew better but i said its my birthday.he didnot give me a fill last month because i lost 14lbs.an i told him i had little restriction. this time when he did the fill i felt the liquid inside. i hope to do better this month. the only time i lose is when i get my fills. so wish me luck people.hope everyone is doing great on your journey.:laugh::ohmy:.

i have that same problem. i went from a 30/32, to a 26/28. now a 20/22. an its just keeps getting bad. i shop at the avenue plus an its impossible for me to bypass the store. they have the most beautiful stuff.they sometimes have sales.i mostly pay $24.00 for a pair of jeans. i have like five pairs.an the tops. don,t let me get started.they are priced outrageous like$35.00 for a blouse, but after about two weeks it goes on sale. for like $24.00.everytime we go out. my sweetheart says. you wanna go by the avenue. an i yes. i know i should not be spending money like that.i know i have to get rid of them sooner, or later.i have not clean out the bigger sizes out of my closet.

january 13th 09 i had my surgery. it has been eight months without my medication. i was on diabetes meds,an high cholestrol meds. so far things are going great.

hope things are going well. beautiful view.
