Hey everyone. My name is Michele. I'm from Tennessee and was banded in August of this year. I have only lost 16 pounds but well on my way to a slimmer me.

I have been looking around on this site since about 2 weeks before I joined the lapband world and finally decided to join this evening. I am hoping to make some online friends to share stories with on what we are

going through.

I have already had my first fill and will be going back for my second fill this coming Thursday since the first one has done nothing for me. I am really hoping the second one give me some restriction.

Any comments from anybody will be well welcomed. I hope everyone out there in bandland is doing well and making their goals.

1st fill on September 15 2008

2nd fill on September 25 2008

hi,

i was banded august 25th and i am waiting to get my fill when i can afford to but all toghether i have lost 23 lbs. And i ve noticed lately it takes a liitle more food to satisfy my hunger, so i probably may not keep losing like i had been.

Hello, I'm Kathy and I was banded on Aug. 27th. I will get my first fill on Sept 30th! YIPPEE! I am doing fine on my 'plan'. The first, almost 3 weeks, I was on liquids. Now I have moved to mushies and I am trying to figure out what to eat. So far, cottage cheese has been a favorite. I have had plenty of fish, tuna, tilapia, cod. Tilapia sets the best for me.

I have a family. Husband, 2 kids. We live in North Carolina. Why is it that you when you are trying to be healthy your family doesn't seem to like anything you like. I have made dinner for them a couple of times and something different for me. Best way to do that is to keep my stuff simple. Good thing I love to cook! I am trying to experiement with different ways to cook fish.

Ah, you were saying how much you'd lost. I have lost 19lb since the 27th. I lost the first 15 on my liquids and since mushies it's slowed way down. I am hopeful my fill will help me with that. I'd like to be down by 22 to 25 lbs by Oct. 31. That's just a personal goal.

Sorry I am rambling. I seriouly am just hanging out here and felt like talking! :redface:)

Glad you joined! Best of luck!

Kathy S.
