I see that your from New York, so I just wanted to pick your brain about the band. Where did you get your surgery done? And what has life been like with it? If you don't mind sharing.

HI Juicy!
I am doing okay. A little frustrated on the weightloss front. Its def partly my own fault. But, the band is letting me eat anything and everything. its horrible. I go for my 2nd fill today so hopefully things will change and the scale will get moving with some better food choices and exercise. This is hard! Good for you with your progress.
I just thought that the band would fix my head hunger because i would be so motivated to follow the rules with seeing results on the scale. WRONG! This is a lot harder and also, it doesnt help when my family are wondering why i am not losing anymore and how i can eat like i do. Frustrating.
We will see what happens after this fill.
Have a great day. its going to be in the 90's today here in Boston! Good luck and keep me posted!

So I got banded on March 30th...I was 321 when I started the process. I lost 7 pounds before the surgery. On my surgery day i was 314. I lost a whooping 16 pounds in two weeks bringing me to 298..:laugh:.I was so excited...and so was my surgeon...my next follow up was may 6. i was suppose to stay on purees during that month...needless to say...i cheated and i cheated bad...not in what i ate..but the fact that i began to have solids once a day after only 2 weeks of being on purees. When i went to the doctor a month later...i was only 4 pounds lighter...bringing me to 294..my surgeon was Furious!!! I told him what i did and he went into a fit...he said i could have flipped my band...i could have hurt myself and that he was disappointed :confused:...im thinking to myself...damn...but i lost a total of 20 :thumbup:pounds since my surgery...he was not satisfied...i was depressed..:rolleyes2: i know i could have done better but i was proud of myself...i couldnt lose 22 pounds in years...and I lost it in a month...so my next appointment is may 27th..im now down to 288...i have lost 6 pounds in two weeks. I hope I can be at 10 pounds lost by the time i see him again. so what have i been doing...well i count calories(800-950 a day)...i walk two miles 3-4 times a week, and i try not to overeat...i have no restriction right now so it is very hard!!!! I can eat everything and anything...so im looking forward to my first fill. -
Hey Jilly...it is amazing that we are feeling the same way...its nice to see how someone that got banded around the same time you did is doing...im at total of 33 pounds lost...i lost 7 of those pounds before the band...so i have lost 26 pounds after...I hope all is well with you...i read your last blog and i did the same thing...my surgeon was furious and told me i shouldnt had graduated to solids so early...i get my first fill in the beginning of june...how are you feeling..keep me posted..ttys

awww...we both lost 23 pounds!!! Congrats to us!

Yes...i went to my surgeon today...he wants no parts of solids for me....lol...but good news i lost a total of 23 pounds...5 before the surgery...18 after...so really doesnt want me off the liquids...and he's making me wait 2 months to get my first fill...im happy though...lets see if i can keep this progress going...im happy your feeling a little more full. I return back to work on Monday...my students will really keep me busy and my mind off food...ttys...kit

Hey! Believe me.... cheating is on the brain!! I actually met with the surgeon today and she said i could move on if I am really that hungry but she preferred if I waited and went with the program guidelines. I actually feel better today. Not so hungry. Plus, i went to work to try and get my mind of food! Its helping. Well, hang in there!! ttyl!
