Yes just take it easy, I was banded on April 17th and my doc has me on liquid unitl my first office visit on the 9th, I am actually doing very well but I understand what the others are saying that this is a head game, ?Am I really hungry or is this just one of those mind games telling my tummy its hungry. Dont give in

yep I still around but not round for long

Bottom line is ITS YOUR CHOICE everyone can give only their side of what they did and thats what they did...............Good luck in your decision

Yep got the answer AA sounds like this might be the answer to ALL the booze

I am still on the liquid after surgery but when I get to the hard stuff I intend not to drink with my meals as suggested by the doc

Yo Yoda: I was banded on the 17th and am a side sleeper also. About the fifth day after I was able to sleep on my side and turn from one side to the the other very carefully, if still feels weird but it gets much better. Hang in there and the band(Force) be with you

I to was banded on the 17th and thus far as of last Friday I have lost 37lbs. I am still on the liquid getting ready to move to mussiessssssssssss. Stay the course and work hard its gone forever if you want it to be gone. Again congrats

I to want to wish you good luck in your decision, whatever it is DO IT. Sounds to me like you have lots of support here and I know that is what it takes to succeed. Take the step in faith and DO IT

I was banded on the 17th went through what you are going through it does get better

I like the selection of Gordons non breaded fish, it tastes great and has a good variety to choose from

Here it is four days after surgery and another 8lbs gone, :confused: I am so glad that I had this done am hungry but refuse to give up the battle. I committ that I will not give in to the hunger

I just got home on Monday from being banded, I lost another 8lbs in just five days, I know what you are saying about the hunger but listen to those that have gone before us, they are the guides and all will be ok.........

MelAnne I was just banded on the 17th and lost 8lbs in five days, its grt I dont care about the lost as long as I follow the plan of attack I have put in place its a grt feeling. Keep up the grt work

I agree great Job

wow, its a hard thing to read some of these. Prebanded I was 411, prediet I was 384 and now I am on the track to loose until I reach the terminal. I want to encourage you all to have faith and hang in there

hang in there, I believe God will guide you

well hang it there and edit for life

sorry to here this happened, keep up the spirits and have faith, you can master this and there is life after the band, just remember when the band was there what it took to loose the weight and keep going forward

hang in there dont give up

only you can make the right decision for you

Well here it finally is:notagree the band is in place and I am at home for a week. Took the week off so I would feel like working. I find it hard to get enough water and protein each day but know that this will get better as the days go by. I am just really sore right now still from the operation. Yes I would do this in a heart beat again:clap2: and I encourage all non banded persons to really chk into this for them. It is different for each and every person:cool: I dont have to stumble in the blind :confused: to think should I eat this or not :hungry: the answer is not not not. I believe if you have to ask yourself this question then you have already failed. Have a grt day today tummy because I will take good care of you and you take good care of me.
