That's the beauty of the band. This is long term. Don't beat yourself up over a small setback. Be patient, and hang in there.

Hi! I got banded on the same day. The first week was hard but I was losing weight so it didn't matter. Now I feel great and could eat anything I wanted if I let myself(I don't). I am sticking to less than 1000 healthy calories a day and still haven't lost a pound in two weeks. My body is being very stubborn. I go for my first fill on the 12th of Ferbruary. Maybe that will make a difference. Keep me posted.

Have you lost any weight yet? I am holding steady at NO wieght loss since a week after my surgery Jan 8! I lost a total of 22lbs from start of pre-op diet and 1 week post-op.

This is my first time "blogging". I am scheduled for banding surgery on January 8th, and I am waiting for final insurance approval. I have a few questions about what it is like immediately after surgery. Would someone tell me where I could find something similar to a "Girlfriends Guide to Lap Banding"? I would like the all the details even the not so pretty ones.
