I've been reading a lot of posts latley about how people can still eat as much as they used to . Is that the norm? If this is the case, how does YOUR band help you lose weight? Its making me nervous that I will feel no change after surgery, and it will be all for not. I'm prepared to do the hard work. I know its "just a tool." But if a screwdriver didn't screw, I wouldn't use it. Does the band really help or is it a "sugar pill?"

Good luck! Keep us posted!Good luck girls!!!We can do it!Mine said I didn't need it unless blood tests said otherwise. They'll just have me taking calcium and a multi.Good job! We have the same starting BMI and I think the same surgery date.I don't even want people to notice the weight LOSS.The 26th for me! I know there are others...Mandarine oranges. Tastes like a Creamsicle!Maybe try the wraps instead? I think you can make any sandwich a wrap.That's me too. Just tell me what's in it.I've been wondering the same thing....Can u send me the recipe!?I'm addicted too!!! In fact I'm on on my phone right now. =DI think they are both equal. My doc uses the Realize band.But why couldn't I have a chicken breast instead of a protein shake?I agree.What is the scientific reason for the pre-op diet being liquid? Why can't we EAT the same amount of cals/carbs/protein, etc... rather than drink them?Ok, so day 3 is MUCH better than day 2. Yesterday felt like quitting smoking! (Which I did a year ago.) Carb withdrawal maybe???I don't have any advice, but the 26th is my day!They ordered me the pre-op vitamin from bariatric advantage.
