Hi, I am Alice from WV. I had my LapBand done Feb 4th. Since surgery I have lost 7 lbs, and my pre-Op weight loss is 18 lbs, for a grand total of 25 lbs. I feel good about my self. I am taking mostly liquids, and bit of soft foods. Had 2 times, where I must have ate too ,much too fast. That was not pleasant. Becoming more aware of how I chew my food, and relearning to feel when I have had enough.

Hi Alice, Welcome to LBT. You are doing great. Congrats on the weight loss. When I first started solids I had a hard time getting use to chewing and taking small bites. I am 6 weeks post op now and haven't been stuck in awhile. You'll get the hang of it.

Hi Alice!

Where are you in WV? I live in St. Albans and I just have to get my psych eval done before the doc can submit the paperwork to insurance. Getting kind of antsy though. lol I am going to Dr. Bali in South Charleston. Welcome to the forum!

I am from WV as well. I live in Princeton, but I am having my surgery in Charleston, by Dr. Sam Rossi. I am only the second month into my six month supervised diet. I am nervous and excited. It is good to hear from people so close to home. Good luck to all of you.
