I'd like to network with others who were banded in August.

I'm 4 weeks post-op and have lost 21 pounds. I haven't had any complications other than small postop infection that cleared with antibiotics. No fill yet but I feel full after about 5 ounces of food. :faint: This from a woman who could eat 1/2 a large pizza.

My husband was banded at same time and has lost 30 pounds.:clap2:

We're eating pretty normal food. I do add some whey to about 1/2 c of coffee and 1/2 c of 1% milk each morning. But getting plenty of Protein isn't a problem on about 1000 calories per day.

No diet cokes or booze. We have tried all kinds of flavored waters to replace our usual diet cokes -- nothing seems to satisfy that itch.

How are you all doing? Have you found a drink you actually like?

There is a thread, I think it's called something like ABC Sept chat - come there and join in!

Diet snapple is great, they have all kinds of flavored teas that are good. I also like crystal light.
