Thanks so much for sharing your personal story! I think this may be the hardest part for me. I don’t want to just “try this band thing” and see if it works. If I am going to do it, it has to be for the long haul. I won’t have the option to fail. So, getting my brain right has to be a big part of my pre-op life. Any other suggestions for what anyone needs to do in the pre-op phase to make the post-op life successful? (Just throwing that question out to anyone!) Blessings!

Thanks everyone! I would love to hear some more stories!

I am just starting my journey and am looking for real-life answers. I have seen posts about eating post-op and I have been to a seminar, but there seems to be such a wide range of post-op experineces. Everything from "I can still eat a 6 inch sub," to "if I drink water too fast it comes out like a fountain." I understand that the first 3 months after surgery will be different, but after that, life goes on as a "new normal." What does that look like for you? What does a day worth of food look like? What does "cheating" look like post-op? How do you deal with everyone around you eating "normal" sized meals when you do not? I guess these are just a few of the bazillon questions I have. Thanks so much for your imput! Blessings!
