Hi everyone. My name is Michelle. I am 35. I live in Minnesota. I was banded on February 25, 2008 by Dr. Jeff Baker at Unity Hospital, Bariatric Center. So far I have lost 45 pounds total. I am very glad I made this decision! It is the best one I have made in a very long time. I have found alot of foods I used to be able to eat, that I can no longer eat. Beef Jerky is the one I miss the most. I also am not able to eat even very toasted bread. I do not miss the bread.

I am very happy to find this website. There are no Lap Band support groups where I live, only gastric bypass so I find it very hard to find people like me who have been banded.

Oh you have done so wonderful I had mine on Jan 28, 2008 and have only lost 28 pounds - for a while I could eat anything because I guess my band was not tight enough - what are you eating - I have finally reached my 'sweet spot' and am having a hard time finding what I can eat without sliming now - sure is a struggle - but still so glad I did this - I have waited 3 years for this

Welcome Michelle! I originally looked to have my procedure done at Unity Hospital too but then I switched to Park Nicollet. My first consult originally was with Jeff's father, Dr. Daniel Baker. Small world. :sad: Great work on your current weight loss and good luck for the future!

Hi! I eat alot of Protein, tuna, fish, eggs, mashed potatos, cottage cheese, beef, Soups, rice, fruit, vegetables. I still eat pretty much what I used to except for the fast food, chips and deep fried foods. I am having problems with bread, even toasted. I have gotten some pretty good receipes for some dishes that are not too bad for you either....let me know if you want me to share!

Sure, I would say share them. I believe there is a forum section for food and nutrition with a recipes section. That would probably be the place to post them. :biggrin2: Thanks for sharing.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
