Hey everyone!!!! I was banded on 5/20/15 and so far I have lost 34 pounds. So far so good. It's still a little hard for me to get in all my protein but it's getting better each day. Most days I am not hungry but will eat something as it's not good to go all day and not hungry. I haven't had my first fill yet as I had a problem with slimming but it's getting better now. Hopefully I will in October. I am exercising at least 3 times a week but trying to increase so I can make my weight goal. Good luck to all!!!

Anyone have trouble with getting plain ol' water down? Before surgery I could drink gallons, I swear! Now, I can't get down plain water. I have to flavor it...it's getting slightly better, but it feels like water is just too "heavy" for my sleeve.

I was drinking 2 liters of water a day before surgery. Now I can't drink 8oz. I've been mostly sticking to iced tea.

I have to force water down. And drink the flavored. So strange. After 6 weeks I tried plain water but I think I'm just used to the flavored now. Without forcing I am drinking 34 oz and the drs keep saying to more than double that. Have for the last 2 days.

Good to know I'm not the only one!

That's good

Me to date 63 pounds i was sleeved may 21,15

I am 10 weeks out and i was able to do about 3-4 bottles of water a day lately I am lucky if I finish 2 it seems to be getting harder for water

I posted this elsewhere but posting it here. I counted my liquid and chewable vitamins yesterday and the calories came to 120. I was not counting those. Not used to my pill form vitamins having calories. Maybe they did lol. Just adding this so we all watch for those hidden calories we are not writing down.
