PML

I was banded on October 14, 2009 and have lost only 3 pounds! I have had 3 fills and still feel almost no restriction. This is very frustrating. I lost 17 pounds the 2 weeks prior to banding so my total weight lose is 20 pounds.

I was banded on October 15th, 2009. I was on a liquid protein diet for 12 days prior to surgery. The last 2 days before surgery I was on a clear liquid diet. I have been on clear liquids since surgery. I will see my surgeon on Friday, October 23rd and hopefully be placed on full liquids again. My understanding the reason for the liquid diet is to make your liver smaller and hence surgery easier. So far so good. It has been an experience.
