I have wondered the same thing.

I wish you well on your journey that is just beginning. I am just shy of two weeks out of being banded mine was 6-1-10. I to have not told alot of people because i know it is a slow process this is not going to happen over night and i to ddidnt have a big bmi i was borderline by the ins company to approve. But after going through all that they wanted me to do and folowed what they wanted they approved me. i do not have alot of weight to loose but i to have dieted and gained it back i am so hoping that this will be the tool i need to keep my weight off. I think maybe telling your Mom if you are close and hopefully she will keep it between the two of you. i didnt want alot of people knowing i was doing this either so i totally understand were you are coming from. Good luck on your journey.

I did not have that and i am glad i hope your getting better soon

Best of luck to you on your journey to a new begining

You have such a positive attitude. I know i have a long ways to go as i was just banded June 1 but i cant wait till my sweet spot is found. I know this is a journey and there will be ups and downs but its so nice to read and see someone positive and successful. Best of luck to you

Ok so i am haven extreme amount of gas . I am not in pain but my stomach is constantly gurgling very loud to i might add and i need to fart all the time. Is this normal? I am two weeks post op and still on a liquid diet. How long does this last has anyone elese experienced this?

Ok i am loosing and walking some . My problem is i do have a bone bruise on my foot it has ben there for ever it seems almost a yr. Although it is much better it still bothers me. I know i should be walking more but my foot hurts , i can only walk on flats to. will i still loose weight if i dont walk alot but am folowing the diet?

Whats is it for?

I did prune juice and water ewwww but it worked i did thattil i wasnt taken pain meds as i new they were gonna bind me and i didnt want pain from being constipated.

Best of luck to you on your journey

Thanks i am so excited to go to the drs next week and get weighed then i will be on mushies i am determined to do this. Although i still have my doubts here and there but think thats from what other people say. thank you all

Best of luck to you and your daughter hope all goes well. You must be a great Mom to do this for your daughter she is a lucky girl. Continued luck on your journey

I am on my second week of post op liquid diet i go to the Drs next week cant wait to see what i have lost. Best of luck to you

Stick to the prders. Glad you dont feel to bad neither did i. Best of luck on your journey

OMG my Dr said no soda or alcohol and it is in the book also that he gave me to read. All i can say is i am going to follow the Drs order to a tea and not do anything other than what he says i do not want my band to slip or have any complications. I worked at this to long to get my banding and i am not gonna mess it up now that i have it

looks like its healing nicely

I am just two weeks banded . But i have been told it comes off very slow. Sounds like your Dr is a jerk. You just keep trying and as long as its coming off you are doing things right best of luck to you

Good luck dont over due follow what they tell you. I had my banding going on my second week now and i was a little sore but not to bad. Just take care of you an do what you feel like your boday can handle. Best of luck to you.

Wow good for you keep up the good work

So my friend laughed at me when i said i cant wait for real food. I am still on a liquid diet right now my second week. She said i will never be on real food again. I will wont i? It will just be smaller amounts and wiser choices right? just not stuff that is ull of fat. I sure do hope i am right and not her.Thoughts anyone?:bored:

wow really then i guess im doing ok then

Ok i got mine the day of my surgery when they sent me home and i lost it. How can i get another one and what do you use it for?

haha i think my fav is cream of mushroom maybe i will try creaim of chicken . Never thought i would say this but i cant wait for mush food.

Still on the liquid diet. Anyone have any suggestions on cream soups that are good?

Best of luck i am a week banded today
