I was banded 12/22/2009 i lost 35 lb then stopped getting fills i slowly started gaining my weight back and got fed up with the band about 3 weeks ago i got all the fluid released now im alomst back to where i was when i got banded. im going in for a fill on the 9th and ima try this again. Any words of encouragment or your stories would really help. =)

Im two weeks post op and i was having the same problem. Try not to drink your protein in the morning, thats when you should be eating. Cottage cheese is good. Try scrambled eggs or beans things that will stay with you for a long time. If you eat your protein in the morning you should be less hungry during the day. Good luck.

Congrats! Your making the right choice and im glad hes starting to understand. Sounds like a smart young man. I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted.

6 days post op and im feelin pretty good. I went to the gym yesterday and walked which felt great and i guess you could say i was feeling a bit ballsy so i made some egg salad ( 3 days before the doc says i can ) it went down fine and tasted yummy. Then i had half of a veggie burger and that went down fine i thought hey who needs stinkin liquids any more. Then it was my boyfriends mothers work christmas party....i wasnt even hungry. But i nibbled i had i nibble of a little hotdog a nibble of a chicken wing and a nibble of a brownie. All my nibbles didnt even add up to a real bit but they didnt have to. Nothing got "stuck" but it was very very uncomfortable. It wasnt until this morning that i felt better. So lesson learned. I will start soft moist food tomorrow. :drool:
