Consider yourself lucky...u r already at 5.5 cc I was baded in Feb. and just now got to 6 cc from my docter. I am just now feeling restriction. Take it slow but until u get this under control....drink Protein Drinks cause otherwise u will lose your hair.< /p>

Thanks for the enlightening info. it helps alot

I am assuming at first it was Jan 08 and if it is 09 instead...that is amazing. I am going to try the 4-5 oz per meal to see if I can speed up my process. I was banded Feb. 09 and since pre-op Feb. 1 I am down 29 lbs. That is is something like 15 wks...I should be satified but 14 of that was in 2 wks of pre-op diet. I am averaging 1.5 lbs a wk. or something like that. Any hoo....Congratulations!!

I am feb bander but what about stopping the march madness

yes I do believe it is in everyone's interest to be on 2 wk preop diet. I did 2 prot. drinks and lean quisine type meal and lost 14 lbs before surgery. It was a good booster. I had surgery Feb. 16 and not regretting one minute. Was sore a couple of days out but now am doing an excercise program and losing about 4 lbs a wk. Hope to shoot for more . If not I am satified

Protein drinks: Atkins Advantage choc. or vanilla Walmart carried them. prepakged and really good. 15 protein grams and less then 4 grams carbs. hang in there...just banded 2-16-09

I am new too. I was banded Feb. 16th. The beginning of hope when it comes to the weight loss thing. I have not been humgry at all since banded. it takes me all day to get down a watered down Protein Drink. I felt good about getting down Soup broth tonight too. Am looking fwd to next stage but as of being hungry...NEVER

I have a question....I am scheduled for seminar Jan 7...is there anyone that has had the surgery sooner than 2 months out?

I am here as everyone else to learn as much as I can about the Lapband surgery...before and after. I am not yet scheduled and am attending a seminar Jan. 7. I am so going to do this and am excited about the process. I am a mother of 5, married for over 27 yrs. to a husband that isn't ctitical but sometimes I think that wasn't in my favor cause I have to lose over 100 lbs. I have the same history as everyone I am sure. Dieting every way possible, excerciseing to lose a number of lbs. only to regain it plus more. That leaves me where I am now. Any encouraging words or tips would be gr8. Thanks:smile2:

How soon after your appt. with your surgeon did you get to schedule the actual surgery? I was asking to see if there is a long wait. Also wondering if there are pre-op things to do before. I am scheduled for a seminar right now and hoping to jump right in asap to start my new life with lapband.:wink2:

I have not even had the surgery that I am so anxiously awaiting and to know you have had the surgery and are still struggling. God has allowed medical tech. to save yourself from yourself and you are not complying. Please for all of us and mostly yourself get back on the band wagon and accomplish your goals. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!:wink2:

Do you need to lose weight before surgery

How is it possible to not lose or regain after lap band surgery?
