Hi All,

Just introducing myself. I was banded on March 12th. I wrote a thread the other day in another forum to someone who is having gallbladder problems which I have had.

Anyway, lost about 15 lbs so far and starting to feel pretty good. People have noticed the difference in my face. I think I just feel good knowing I've made a big step in making a difference in my life.:clap2:

you lost 15 pounds in two weeks, are u sick and how do u feel

Hello Stephmzt & welcome to LBT. Congrats on your decision to be banded and your weight loss so far. You'll find lots of information and encouragement on this site which is full of terrific folks! Good luck...Dreamer

I lost very fast too.

It sure helps encourage you does't it?

Make sure you get your liquids in.

I loved and still love sf instant carnation breakfasts to drink.

Good luck and welcome.

Your band sister,

Thanks all. I had some gallstones after my surgery so was on IV fluids which helped get me started. I also love the carnation instant breakfast drinks and even drink them for dinner or have half if I feel hungry. I am a little nervous about the first fill though. Just when you get adjusted its like starting over again.

Congrats on being banded. You are doing great!

I was banded on 3/12/07 too. I've lost 12 lbs. Good luck! I'm excited to have the band in. I was a bit sore, but am feeling much better now. How about you?

Wow - well done you! Keep up the good work (Coz I need the encouragement!)

I was banded on March 20 and I had to e-mail my nurse because if I had to drink another powdered anything, I was going to be sick. I would gag just taking a sip of a protein shake and I liked them at first. She talked to the pa and as of yesterday I can start adding creamy soups. So far as of today I am down 24 lbs!!!!

I was banded on March 20th and as of last Monday I had lost 13 pounds! I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protien drinks a lot.

Congrats and Good Luck!

That's great everyone! Keep up the good work!!

Yippeee!! I just weighed myself and I've lost another pound. I had lost 7 lbs before the surgery and now I've lost 13, that's a total of 20 lbs!!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am.
