I have not been on here in a while and i just wanted to say congrats to everyone.....today makes one month for me....i got my fill on the 11th and i am surprised i don't feel any different than before the surgery....i notice a little restriction but so far all foods are going down perfectly fine......but i am working out 3 days a week and trying to move it up to 4x a week....i have 2.6cc in a 10cc band and i will defiantly be going back in two weeks for a second fill...so congrats all

I am so glad you posted this, because i have been wondering how the fill will make you feel....i am only on my 2nd week post op and i don't even feel like i have a band on, and i don't want to know but i want to feel full, cause right now i don't feel full. I hope the pain is just for a couple of days and not for a long period because i am not to good with pain

I Want To Wish Everyone A Good Week This Week Who Is Going Into Surgery
I Was Banded On Friday The 13th And The First Day I Was sleep Alot But Not To Much Pain. Saturday Afternoon I Got Up And Was At The Horse Races All Day...my Mom Was Mad That I Was Up And Moving So Fast But I Just Had Minor Pain.
I Have Lost 18lbs Since The 10th So That Has Suprised Me, Protein shakes Are Still A Little Hard To Get In But I Have Been Drinking 1 Slim Fast Low Carb shake, 1 sugar free Popsicle, And I May Eat A sugar free Jello Which Goes Down Fine And 100% Apple juice.
Yesterday I Ate Egg Drop Soup And I Think It Really Helped Cause It Let Me Get Some Of The Gas Pain Out And Gave Me My Second Bowel Movement....
I Was Going To Give A One Week Update But Since I Am At Work Not Doing To Much I Thought I Would Share My Experience.....
I Would Really Like To Know What Others Are Eating
wooo Hoooo June 10-284, June 13- 277, June 16- 266.5= 17.5 Lbs Down

I am on Day 3 of pre op and it is getting pretty hard....I am allowed to drink Protein Shake and Water throughout the day (no Soup Jello, or broth or any other liquids)...but i am allowed one 4oz chicken, fish, or turkey which is a plus....and it says all the green vegies i want....so i have been only eating 4oz chicken and okra...and i have the taste for a salad....if i use light Salad Dressing will that be ok or should i stick to okra, green Beans, and greens?

Thank you, to everyone who has responded.....
Dora: I do understand what you mean, I have always struggled with my weight and I am so use to it, and I know my parents want the best for me, they are paying cash for it, and I am just scared they will hold it against me, if it does not work.....reading all the blogs and looking at photo albums, I have prepared myself mentally, I want it bad cause i have not been able to do it yet...but thank you for the advice, I will probably be on here all the time for the support

Hello Everyone,
I just came by to introduce myself and hopefully get some help throughout my journey. I am from Dallas Texas but I am going to school in Houston for Nursing. I am on 21 and decided to get this procedure done because my parents wanted me to be able to have kids and live a healthy life.
Well now that I have introduced myself, can someone please help me with some pre-op questions
I am going through True Results in Houston and I start a Protein shake, and One meat and green vegies, (I believe i can handle that)
I am most concerned with the surgery, I have never been under Anesthesia, (is it as bad as i am thinking it will be?)
Another question is are the scars permanent?, or very visable?
And what are some good tips for somethings I am suppose to eat or drink right after the surgery?
Please help banded 6/13/08 3 fills down no loss

I am not understanding what is going on, I have had 3 fills since surgery and this last one is the only on that gave me minor restriction like i had something in me, but it still is not enough. I startedt off at 286 now i am 272. people told me it would be easier to lose weight since i am only 21 but I feel like I am letting my parents down (who paid cash), people who are supporting me down and it is getting horrible. I don't eat bad foods, I took the doctor advise and have limited my self to tuna and wheat thin and I still can't lose....I need help fast i plan on getting my 4th fill next thursday hopefully it wi make a difference......but if anyone has some advice please let me know
