Hello,

I am also new. I have never done anything like this either. I got my lapband 1/16. I am two weeks post op. I have lost almost 30lbs so far but have been on a 400cal diet for the past two weeks and 800cal two weeks prior to that. I am ready for some real food. I am interested in what is to come and if anyone else has been banded lately.

thanks for any input that you might have.

Welcome C.M.

You may want to jump over to the "January Bandsters" (If you haven't done so already) lots of people in the same spot and a great support system. I was banded about 4 days before you but luckly found this board before hand and it has been a great help.

Congrats on the incredible loss, even though I'm sure it's been a tought road.

Thank you. I am not sure what the "January Bandsters" is. I have never been in a chat room before. I don't really know what I am doing.

Congrats on being banded and joining this forum.

January Bandsters is just an ongoing thread of people who were banded in January. Run the term "January" in the search function and you'll find it. I think you will like it since it is full of people who were banded in January dealing with issues that are probably similar to the ones you have. I was banded 1/17, and I find that thread to be quite helpful and interesting.

Hi I am 1 week post op. not sure how much weight I have lost but I feel like I'm not getting any calories, today I can add my yogart and a few other things. how are you feeling? How is your energy level? I have not started walking yet. I did go back to work yesterday. Keep up the good work

Love the chunky monkey name! I have been banded for 8 months and I'm down 40 lbs. I had trouble with fills. I'm on my 5th fill soon to be 6th. I am currently consuming under 1k calories a day and that seems to really move the weight loss. I am hooked on triple non fat lattes. They give me energy during the day plus some protein and liquid. Best of luck to you on your upcoming mushy stage. Soups were my friend.

Hi! I was newly banded-2 days ago. Congrats on your weight loss! It sounds like you're doing great! I'm doing pretty good. It is hard to drink though, because I am not hungry at all. Best of luck to you. Gigi:)
