Hello,

My experience at the Cleveland Clinic was great. I got banded on 9/23/03, I found everyone to be helpful and the the rooms nice. I can't imagine eating two pork chops, stuffing and corn. Emily told us to stay away from corn and celery when we do start on regular foods. Dr. Rosenthal has us on liquids still, we are supposed to have something every three hours and I am having trouble doing that, I have no appetite so far. I honestly hope it never comes back. I am down 14 pounds in a week and I am thrilled.

When did you start eating regular foods? Did you ever lose your appetite?

Just courious! Good luck on your weight loss.

Yeah, I lost my appetite at the beginning. Just think of what your insides went through a week ago. It will come back, just hope it's later than sooner. Anyway, I know Emily said to stay away from corn, but a little can't hurt, as long as I really chew. Another thing is that Emily has given us a diet, but I did this surgery so I don't have to diet anymore. I love meats, so I will always have that first, BUT, if I only eat meat, I'll probably need like 4 pork chops. I am practically eating what I want, had some Cookies the other day, and usually eat for desert a sugar free fudge pop. Lost another 3 pounds in a week before my fill. Speaking of which, I had my first fill yesterday, no big deal. I still need a little more, but right now I am on liquids for the next 3 days. That should really boost weight loss. Again, good luck to you guys.

As I thought when I went. This is a definate change and I am going to make this work. This is not a fail safe. You have to have your head rite too. Diet exercise and the band diet will work like magic if you do your part and its not that hard. If I did antbody can, congradulations and welcome to a different you!!!

Hello all.

I am in Jacksonville, Fl. I am going to be banded by Dr. Szomstein in the Cleveland Clinic Weston. Tentative date is Dec 7 but I am praying for an earlier date. So far so good... got all my testing done and now I sit and wait.

Can't wait to be banded.

Diane

      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...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
