HI all Im new to this site, I was banded May 25th and I am from San Andreas, Cali. Im a bit frustrated right now as I am 2 weeks post op and have gained weight back once I started eating solid foods and its Aunt Flo is coming. I know this is typical I guess but Im totally bummed about it. Here I had the surgery and BAM..nuttin...even worse Im more than what I was pre-op! Any advice is welcomed. Would LOVE if anyone was actually close to me!

well I'm not sure if I'm close to you but I just wanted to say hello

Thanks! I appreciate that!

Well did you talk to the Doc about what and when to eat, I was banded April 17.06 and down currently 70lbs. I was on liquids for three weeks after band and then solids as tolerated. Its the portions that I eat and what I dont eat that help me loose the weight.

Also welcome, it good to have someone new

Thank you! Wow congrats to you! Awesome job. Yes I did talk to the doc about what to eat etc. and Im doing it..the portions still arent much, about 1-2 cups unrestricted. Im joining the gym next week, hopefully that will help. Im not done fighting yet, just frustrated! Bridget

Wow 70 lbs? that is great! actually its sooo sooo awsome! I wish I would be losing that fast..:clap2:
