Moonstone

I was banded in Jan 2009. I stayed on liquids "religiously" and lost about 30 pounds pre-op and for a while post-op. I have now gained back most of the weight and have no clue where to go. I have had numerous fills and have had no restriction. I am not even sure if I know what restriction feels like. I want to be successful at this process, but somehow have failed miserably so far. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I go from here or any stories that can help me figure out the right path. I have struggled for too long and want to give myself a chance to be healthy and find a way to win small battles in the "War on Fat". Thanks!

I am taking the Disney Princess gummy vitamins. They taste really good and my doctor said they were fine. She even takes them! I know she isn't banded but I have had no problems with getting them stuck.:thumbdown:

Thanks for the advice! I have been trying to keep my protein up and during this liquid phase I honestly feel like I am going to float away! I guess the hardest part is taking time for myself. Oh well, that's one reason why I did this in the first place. :thumbup:Thanks again!!

I was banded on the 12th and everything has been going well so far. I have had the gas pains that everyone is talking about and I just wanted you guys to know that it is great to have people to share your experiences with. I have read all of your posts in this thread and I can't wait to read more. It sounds like all of you are doing great!! Good luck!!

I was banded on the 12th. Where is the other thread located?? It is really nice knowing that there are others who are going through what I am at basically the same time. Good luck!!

I was just banded on the 12th of this month. I haven't had the opportunity to read through all of the threads on this forum, but I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for me being a "newbie" to all of this. Thanks!!
