I am very happy I go in for a fill on Friday because my appetite has seemed to return not like before but it scares me and I don't want to regain the 24 pounds I lost post op. I have read this is referred to as bandster hell. Has anyone else heard this before?

I think you are right.I talk to myself a lot.Sometimes I listen and sometimes I mess up.Each day is better and for that I am proud..

It will be a long journey and there is no easy quick fix but in time we will all be where we want to be and that is the main reason .In time I am going to get into that black dress I have always dreamed of.

Yes this is a wonderful place to settle at the end of the day or when in need of a little lift. I was banded on 1/21/14. Its my first day off liquids. The puree is good better than I expected it would be. Hunger makes choices clear. GRITS they are the food of the Gods, I am a southern girl living in New England but does nothing to stop my desire for the down home stuff. Enjoy your grits my friend cause I will join you soon. This is my first day back to work and of course a snow storm will make it hectic . THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE. LATER.

I was able to move off Clear Liquids today and into whole liquids! I never thought I would be so happy to have something like yogurt or split pea Soup. Being able to drink Protein Shakes also gave me so much more energy today. Energy, that was much needed; today was also my first day back to work. I just got back from a mile-long walk with the puppy dogs, it was a beautiful evening for that. Now I'm beat!

Hi Ryan from Australia here.

Had lap band on the 1/28/14

No pain meds needed now but I'm worried I'm not getting enough fluids in me!!

I can tolerate a small amount but I'm not getting the recommended 1.5 lt per day. I'm feeling ok I've lost 9 kilos already start weight was 112.5 kilos..... today I'm 102.6 kilos !!

How long will it be until I can eat something normal with flavour??

Ok, this grits thing is intriguing me! I found some in Spinneys our supermarket here. Anyone have a good recipe and I'll make some this weekend! :)

The bad part about grits (especially for us southern folks) they taste best with lots of butter and salt. As far as any good recipes, I usually would just use the store brands (but not the quick grits version). There is nothing respectable about instant grits.

30 pounds is fantastic congrats! I have hit a stand still. I went to the doctor today and he was going to give me my first fill but my port is still sore from healing so he said to come back next week and he will give me a fill. He was happy with my loss so far but I will be happy when the scale starts going down again.

Thanks Iasal. I'm sure you'll break through your stand still. I'm scheduled for my first fill at the end of the month.

I've hit a standstill too, although I haven't gained any weight so taking that as a minor win. Reckon the losses will kick in again once I've had a fill and its tightened up a bit

      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?
