Hello SwissMiss, I am now at 184 lbs and counting it has slowed up a bit but that's ok...I love my band and what it has done for me. How is your progress I know you look amazing. My goal I think will be 165 lbs we will see because I am looking pretty thin now. I need to update my profile pic because I weighed about 239 on that one. Take care and holla back!

Thank you so much!!!

Hello luckyinlove, Yes I am eating regular food now, I just started my 6th week and the list of foods they tell you to eat it is very important to follow those guidelines. My first week on liquids were fairly easy, second week on full liquids was pretty cool but weightloss came to a standstill (was only eating around 500 cals a day that wk) and a little head hunger. At my two week post op appt. they moved me to pureed and 900-1000 cals (be sure to count). I have loss 16 pounds in 5 wks. Started at 246 at initial consult, 239 day of surgery and 222.8 :thumbup: to date. I am so so happy at 41 years old, no kids but hope to start trying at my 1 year bandiversay. Feel free to ask me any questions, would love to help. I learned a lot from this forum but do not dwell on the negativity on the forum, stay positive and you will succeed.

Day 3 post op...just a little gas discomfort, but other than that I am doing great...off to the beach to recoup for a few days!!!

Congratulations on your early date, let me know how it goes...went to my pre op appointment today and it went very well.

Hi, lets keep in touch I have the same surgery date March 19th...Congratulations on your journey.

Hi, my surgery is march 19th would like to keep in touch with you and liftingchic since we have the same date.

I have not been banded yet, just got approved on 2-23-10. I go in on 3-9-10 for my results visit with my surgeon and then I schedule surgery.

Thank you for responding, i am so excited about the opportunities of being the person i need to be. I weigh 245lbs and my goal is 175, I know that 65lbs is a good weight for me..that should put me in a size 10. I wear 18 and some 16 now at 5'5. Never been that small before so looking forward to feeling better. How do i edit my name so it does not show it in full was not aware when i joined that my whole name would appear on post or does it?

Hi, I am 41 but do not look it from NC and i am just starting the process. My initial consult with the doc is jan 13th and I have already scheduled my psych and dietician consult. Congratulations on your weight loss you have done well. FYI...i want to learn to poll dance for my husband. Do you have any regrets or are you totally happy with the band.
