So banded May 20th :). Very happy about that but as of right now I have no restrictions yet. Which means I can eat as if before banded. Not portion wise tho i am measuring and weighIng my foods. I am trying so hard to chew small bites and eat slowly but it is so hard!! :( First fill next week so I need to get this down an focus ! Thanks for letting me vent :)

Hi bindi. I too was banded on 5/20 and I have no restriction and it is hard for me to eat slow and chew until Mush. I also get my first fill Monday. I am hungry again now. I just want to eat. I have lost 20 lbs and want to lose 45 more. I want to cry because I think the weight should be coming off faster and I should not be wanting to eat eat and eat

Hi ! We have been eating this way for so long and being hungry makes me eat even faster !!! It's hard to "teach an old dog new tricks" :). I to have lost 20 and have 50 more to go which I WILL lose.. I just ate and am hungry also. When I feel this way I will sip on a cup of hot tea and it really helps. Or I'll have a sugar free Popsicle . Good luck on Monday I go Thursday ! Keep me posted and we CAN do this.

I was banded on may21 and have really started to get hungry too! It's crazy how that happens. :) my first fill isn't until the 25th. In the meantime I am exercising and tracking my calories. I have been on a plateau for the last two weeks and that is making me crazy! ;) Definitely going to be ready for a fill!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
