Heyyyy.... I was banded 8/9/12 and weighed 324.5 today 8/13/12 I weight 309.7... Down 15 pounds and thrilled. I love my band and hoping to do better when I can get back to the gym. :-D

GOOD FOR YOU GIRL..THE FIRST MONTHS ARE THE TOUGHEST...ONCE YOU START YOUR FILLS AND KNOW

WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T EAT LIFE WILL EVEN OUT.MAKE SURE YOU GET THE PROTEIN YOU NEED EACH

DAY.......YOU WILL BE SO TIRED OF PROTEIN SHAKES BUT THEY WILL KEEP YOU GOING. HANG IN THERE

AND GOOD LUCK.

Thank you so much.... I cant take in that much though. I think I can start the shakes now but I'll never finish an 8 oz drink. Did you have that problem??

I was banded on 8/8/12 so just one day ahead of you. I was told to do a 4 oz shake in the AM then another 4oz in the PM... doesn't all have to be at one time. Good luck!

Great! Congrats and best wishes

That's awesome! 15 pounds in 4 days?! That's crazy! Congratulations!

Thanks

Congratulations! Yes, I had trouble after the band even with no restriction, finishing my 11oz Protein shake at a setting. So, I drank 2-3oz every 10-15 minutes. Then I crushed all my med pills and mixed them in nonfat greek yogurt with some splenda and ate 2 tsps. Took in a little Water. 2 hours later, I slowly drank Crystal light. SIP SIP SIP

Best Wishes and Keep the Faith!
