    i think i made a mistake!

    Don't give up, I can only imagine how frustrating it is for you to have done something so good for yourself and then have it go so slow or not at all. I have just begun my journey and today just started eating mushy food. I look at others tickers and my weight seems to be coming off slower for me than others, but for me I can't give up, the other option is that I would just get bigger. Don't stop...look at the advice and talk with your Doctor. We are all supporting you. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
  2. I was banded on July 28th, finding it hard to get through the pureed diet, don't seem to like much. I do have a question as to why they do not want you to have orange juice. I have had smoothies before with oj and find them more to my liking. :teeth_smile:

    banded july 28th

    I have found it amazing how many different ways people have to eat after their banding. Makes you wonder which way is right.

    Banded August 4th

    Yes, I found that staying quiet and calm was the best thing. It was hard smelling food and watching others eat.

    July 28th !!!!!

    :thumbup:How are you doing since the banding. I too went out and had my last meal, I tried to savor every moment of it. Today is my first day that I have felt any where normal, had my banding on July 28th also. I think this first week post op is going to be easier than the next week as I am feeling better every day and my appetite is coming back. Good luck to you.

    I to was banded on the 28th of july, how are you finding the restrictions and recovery? I feel weak and tired most of the time. But happy that I have done this. How are you keeping up with all of those children. I find it hard to make my bed.

    Nervous

    I just had my band placed on july 28th, I can tell you that 3days out I have not had much of an appetite to worry about. I do feel weak and somewhat like I am just getting over the flu. Otherwise everything has been great. I am sure that they will help you out with the diabetes. Ihave a friend who had this done and he is now off all his blood pressure medications and his insulin and only on one oral medications and they don't think that will last for long. So keep you chin up you are doing the right thing.

    I need some reassurance

    I understand the desire not to put it off. I am having surgery July 28th and will be leaving on a road trip with my daughter and mother, on August 14th. I am going to pack what I need and enjoy myself.

    Considering Surgery

    Have you considered taking a loan out for your surgery. They have special medical loans, also some clinics will do a discount if paid in cash.
