Hello everyone,

I am excited to say I made the decision to get he band. I am extremely nervous, but I must say this site has really helped me. I have been lurking for the last 3 months reading as much as I can from my fellow banders. My surgery is Friday 11/7 at he Day One clinic in Chicago. I start my liquid diet on 10/25.

Welcome to the journey. Get up and walk as much as you can after surgery. Getting rid of the gas is important

Hi

I got banded on August 30,2014. I have only lost 8 pounds to the day. Am hungry all the time. Am always thinking that my band has slipped because I eat pretty much whatever I want. Am walking 30 minutes every other day. I get my first fill on October 21,2014 I hope my hunger will go away. But am still trying to figure out the whole chewing and smaller amounts and the right foods to eat. Any advice

Thanks for reading

Brown eyes I bought Alex Brecher book The Big Book on Lap band off Amazon. It is a very good read. Maybe it will help with the hunger, Protein is the key.

      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?
