thank you for putting up your post. It does keep things in perspective. This is a lifetime journey. We need to live our lives and not let the fact that we chose to be banded rule us. Any success large or small is a success. We are all on the road to a healthier and longer life.

Hi sorry I didn't write back sooner. My only advise is to take things slowly. I am 8 days post surgery and are starting to feel better. I am trying to keep my life as "normal" as possible. I'm going for my first fill on 4/1. I am nervous. I have to get my head in line with my stomach if you know what I mean. Good luck. Keep in touch.

hi I was banded on 2/23. I only went through the clear liquid stage for two days and then was moved along to the mushy stage. I've hardly had any appetite and am afraid I am not eating enough. I read somewhere that if you go under 800 calories per day your metabolism slows to starvation mode. How do you know when you've eaten too much? So glad I found this website for support and friends
