Just had my surgery Feb 25, 2008, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I have my stats below. I went from 411 lbs to 380 lbs in the first 2 weeks. But I started to eat regular foods. I learned what sliming was, but I also learned HOW to eat. I learned to CHEW, Chew, chew, and I could eat almost anything. This upset my Nutritionist , but my Dr. seemed OK with my progress. Now since all the swelling has gone down I can eat almost anything again, we even go out to eat off the menu. I go in this Thur. for my 1st band fill. I really hope it helps me to restrict my food intake and help me feel full. I am at the same weight I was 4 weeks ago, 378 lbs. I am having a hard time with staying on eating a small amount 4 times a day.
I am glad I found this site and look forward to encouragement from what I read here.
