hi! i had my surgery on June 5th 2009, my bmi was 35, i am starting to get nervous about my first fill. its on monday july 6th, i have been able to eat what ever i wanted to since i eased back into regular food. im sortof worried that that will effect what he does. i have lost about 5lbs since the surgery, so i guess thats a good sign. im just loosing my motivation and i have no energy to go exercise. im not sure if the lack of these are from physical or mental stresses, probably a bit of both. im just looking for someone who maybe went through the same thing and has any advice!! thanks to all

I have had my surgery done here in Germany while we are stationed here, so Im not sure if mybe there was something lost in translation between my dr and me, I knew it would be slow and I was cool with that,Im not a big fan of the loose skin and wanted to be able to tone as i go... I was banded on june 5th of 09, and yes i was too hoping that when I woke up I would be skinny and tone but we all know thats not happening! what I was not prepared for was that I dont really feel much different than I did befor the surgery, minus the scares and soreness that is now going away too.i have had no trouble talarating any foods that i want to eat, except for liquids, seems like they sit in my stomach, heavy feeling almost. has anyone else experienced this feeling, the food part is not the problem. do you think that after the fillings start that I will see a difference then?

HI, I had my banding on the 5th of June and decided not to tell any of my Kids or family back home, I really didnt want to hear all the comments since I had already made up my mind. but on the other hand my husband told everyone that he works with and so everyone where we live(army post) knows what I had done-either way its ok I've been met with nothing but support and nice words about it! now Im just looking for some ideas as to what I can eat for the next few weeks until I can add soft foods I feel fine just a little sore where the stitches are, but this too will pass!!
