Good job on being banded! Congrats!

I agree with Daffodil. I can't believe he left you stranded!

Make sure you are eating frequently and have enough protein 60 grams!

Cred, I remember where I was 1 year ago. I was at the preop level getting all my tests run and terrified. Good for you! You will love being banded. Julie

Yes, call your doctor. By the time I was at 3 weeks I was on mushy, heading to solids. Good luck!

Congrats on being banded. You will love it!

I LOVE Dr. McKeen. You will find the best after care there! He is fabulous. I am so glad I saw your post. Let me know if you have any other questions! Julie:clap2:

I don't care what any of you say but I definitely spank my children!

I like it, but where are all the links to your weight loss success!@

I like the girl with the curly hair that always has it flatted. I think she is like 16 years old1

Lauren, that is good new. I had mine last week and here today I got mine! You will be find. I congratulate you on your patients. I am looking forward to hearing all your good results. Julie

Water! Coke will do damage.

I love hearing about your journey. Please keep us posted!

Faithmd, relax. You should be okay. Just make sure you follow up. Julie

I am not a member in your area, but Planet Fitness is really good. I have one hear in Gilroy, CA. Good luck!

My doctor moved me over in a week.

Laura, typically doctors fill you really slow. You should be fine. In fact, it may take several fills before you feel the right restriction. Julie

Yes, it is very true. You are not filled, thus not restriction. I love my band, it took me 8 months to feel complete restriction. I would follow up with a fill first. I may take you multiple fills to find a good level. Good luck! Julie

I've learned a ton. I have learned that it is okay to be hungry. I have learned it is okay to PB when you overeat. I have learned that food isn't the main focus in my life. I am much happier now!

If you don't go in for an upper GI I would try an antacid. You may have reflux really bad. Good luck.

I agree with all the above. It probably has something to do with the gallbladder. Good luck.

Stacy, my dear. I fight my demons every day. I can only consume 800-1k calories a day. I still fight alcohol addiction on a daily basis. I just try and stick to 2 drinks a day. I can totally relate. Just eat what you can but smaller portioins. I completely feel for you. PM me any time. Julie

I would never think of such a thing. OMG, that would be the worse!

Good for you! I hope you enjoy your band!

Congrats on your band date. I think it is great you and your hubby will be banded together. That is fantastic! Julie
