I was banded on June 7,2011 and to me it seems by eating 3 times a day is helping more than eating 6 times a day I lost 21 lbs after surgery but then gained 6 after I went back to reg foods, but this morning I've started to see my weight coming on down like a contestant on the price is right!!! I'm happy I'm excited,though I haven't had my first fill yet but I'm ready! Everybody is different, one thing I would stress to y'all folks having a rough time, it gets better and better u WILL adjust always remember the days off the money spent and the heart to even get the surgery is because u want to better ur self, if something don't work for u and it worked for someone on this forum just remember we are all different pay attention to YOUR body and u will be just fine, I go in for a fill on July 5, and I can't wait! I can eat anything but in moderation, I sometimes see food and think damn Im hungry,so I drink dome water or a protein shake and bam!!! I'm all good. I'm 29 yrs old and have had some ups and downs but finally feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel,and yeah some of u guys might say u still have a long road ahead of u. I feel like I'm driving on that road just taking in the scenery! Any of u guys have any questions bout surgery don't hesitate to message me, I was lucky to have 2 buddies that had the surgery with tremendous success!!!

Thanks for the positive aspect. Sometimes those are not written about on here. Every pound down is a pound gone. You are an inspiration to us. I am only 4 day post op but working hard at each step of the way. This is definitely not easy but doable.

Congrats! I am not banded yet, but sure is nice to read a good, positive post. Thank you.

Ur welcome!!!
