I am 27 years old and I have a six year old son. I have always done different diets with no long term success. I was banded on March 20, 2007 in Houston, Texas. I have a wonderful dr. His name is Dr. Alanis. My weight loss is very slow. I have only lost 21 pounds. I have no idea if I am doing the right thing or not. I have started to walk everyday. He does not give you a fill until you have lost 30 pounds on your own. I am open to comments and help offered.

I had surgery on March 22, I am down 21 lbs. I wont get a fill until 6 weeks after surgery. I have heard that you will lose some in the first weeks but this is really a healing time. I hear you really start losing after your first fill. I am really trying to watch what I eat until then but it is hard. I am getting hungry sometimes. I have started walking too. It sound like you are doing fine.

Good luck let me know how you are doing.

Congrats on your band. I not banded yet so I don't have any advice, but read on sister read on,I'm sure you'll find the answers to any questions you may have here on this boaed.

You are doing great. Just keep trying to eat your solid protein first and try to keep your calories to 1k max. You are doing great! Julie
