So I've been lurking here for a month, taking in lots of info and tips. Thought it's about time I start talking lol! I'm Megan, from jersey, married with two little girls, 5 and 1 1/2 years old. I was banded on June 1st, and i've lost 24 lbs so far. Had my first fill on Thursday, 3 cc's...just starting to take on more solid things today. I'd say it's working! Had two eggs at 9:30, didn't get hungry for lunch until 2:30! Having some chicken salad now, hopefully that'll hold me until 7. That's all for now! Have a great holiday everyone!!

Congrats and welcome. Love your picture, looks like a very happy family. Before you know it, you'll be pushing your girls out of the way so the camera can see your hot new bod!!

Congrats 2 u! I'd say 24 lbs in a month is great! Looking forward to my banding on July 29

Welcome and congrats on the surgery and weight loss. This board has been very helpful for me. I hope to see you posting more often!

Hey, congrats on the 24 lbs!!! I was at 23 and gained 2 back. I was banded on the 9th of June and they won't up my first fill in until Aug. 1st because I am traveling and they don't want me to have any trouble when I am away. Has anyone else gained a little weight back before their first fill? I still feel a bit restricted but, not a ton. I can tell you that I tried a pretzel (stick) and scrambled eggs and I will NEVER eat those two things EVER again! I still haven't thrown up since the surgery and I that was the closest I have come yet.

Thanks guys!!

ididit - I gained back 3 lbs before my fill, but it was that TOM and I lost it right after it finished. I haven't had any issues with eggs. They're actually become my go to food.
